Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good. First Edition. First Printing. 222 pages. Maps, slight wear to DJ edges. Bookplate signed by the author (Anne Garrels) on front endpaper. Anne Garrels is the highly respected National Public Radio (NPR) foreign correspondent who filed reports from Baghdad, as a n…on-embedded journalist, prior to and during the 2003 invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein's government. Anne Garrels narrative starts with several trips she made to Baghdad before the war, beginning in October 2002. At its heart is her evolving relationship with her Iraqi driver/minder, Amer, who becomes her friend and confidant, often serving as her eyes and ears among the populace and taking her where no other reporter w able to penetrate. Amer's own strong reactions and personal dilemma provide a trenchant counterpoint to daily events. The Story is also punctuated by e-mail bulletins sent by Garrel's husband, Vint Lawrence, to their friends around the world, giving a private view of the rough-and-tumple, often dangerous life of a foreign correspondent. The result is an enthralling, deeply personal, and utterly authentic--an on-the-ground picture of the war in Iraq that no one else could have written. As Chicago Sun-Times critic Lloyd Sachs wrote about Garrels's work in Baghdad, "A few choice words, honestly delivered, are worth more than a thousand pictures.In your mind's eye, they carry lasting truth." As National Public Radio's senior foreign correspondent, Anne Garrels has covered conflicts in Chechnya, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. She is renowned for direct, down-to-earth, insightful reportage, and for her independent take on what she sees. One of only sixteen un-embedded American journalists who stayed in Baghdad's now-legendary Palestine Hotel throughout the American invasion of Iraq, she was at the very center of the storm. Naked in Baghdad gives us the sights, sounds, and smells of our latest war with unparalleled vividness and immediacy. Garrels's narrative starts with several trips she made to Baghdad before the war, beginning in October 2002. At its heart is her evolving relationship with her Iraqi driver/minder, Amer, who becomes her friend and confidant, often serving as her eyes and ears among the populace and taking her where no other reporter was able to penetrate. Amer's own strong reactions and personal dilemma provide a trenchant counterpoint to daily events. The story is also punctuated by e-mail bulletins sent by Garrels's husband, Vint Lawrence, to their friends around the world, giving a private view of the rough-and-tumble, often dangerous life of a foreign correspondent, along with some much-needed comic relief. The result is enthralling, deeply personal, utterly authentic--an on-the-ground picture of the war in Iraq that no one else could have written. As Chicago Sun-Times critic Lloyd Sachs wrote about Garrels's work in Baghdad, "a few choice words, honestly delivered, are worth more than a thousand pictures . . . In your mind's eye, they carry lasting truth. J. Vinton "Vint" Lawrence (June 25, 1939 - April 9, 2016) was an artist and U.S. Central Intelligence Agency paramilitary officer from their elite Special Activities Division. Under the name of "James Vinton", he was stationed in Laos from 1962 to 1966 and had a close relationship with the Hmong leader Vang Pao in the U.S. war in Southeast Asia. Lawrence's CIA colleague in Laos was the CIA paramilitary expert Anthony Poshepny (aka "Tony Poe"). Lawrence was married to National Public Radio reporter Anne Garrels. His letters to her during her time in Baghdad, Iraq, during the 2003 U.S. invasion of that country, are included in her book, Naked in Baghdad. He toured with her and shared the podium with her during her book readings. He and his wife received an AudioFile Earphones Award for their narration. An artist by profession, he occasionally wrote about U.S. foreign policy issues. As an illustrator and caricaturist he was regularly employed by The New Republic and The Washington Post. Jeffrey L.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xiv + 161 pages, b&w illustrations in text, NOT ex-library. Title page signed by the Editor. Printing imperfection: a horizontal crease on a portion of leaves. Lovely condition, book is clean and bright throughout, untanned, with unmarked…text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Bright, untorn, unclipped dust jacket with a touch of edgewear. -- This volume presents the life of William Lawrence (1636-1697), a learned country squire of Shurdington, Gloucestershire, through the meticulous transcription of his personal letter-book. Unlike typical loose correspondence, these letters were painstakingly copied by Lawrence into a permanent record, functioning as both private communication and deliberate literary exercises. Edited and contextualised by Iona Sinclair, the text reveals a man of the Middle Temple and Oxford, whose prose is defined by an extravagant, Baroque style characteristic of the high-culture Restoration gentry. The narrative provides an intimate microhistory of provincial life, covering the complexities of estate management, local legal disputes, and the social rituals of the Gloucestershire elite. A unique dimension of the collection is Lawrence's regular correspondence with his brother, Isaac Lawrence, a merchant for the East India Company based in Persia (Iran). This "Persian connection" offers a rare glimpse into how global trade and exotic reports influenced the intellectual world of a rural English manor. The title, 'The Pyramid and the Urn', reflects Lawrence's frequent, often idiosyncratic meditations on mortality, legacy, and memory, providing scholars with a rich primary source for the study of 17th-century mentalities, misogynistic wit, and the socio-economic structures of the English provincial gentry.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Limited Edition. Signed by Author(s)142 pages (complete) plus index. One of a limited edition of 1200. Signed by both Burns and Skemp on the title page. This title is part of the New Series (#14) of The Records of the Queen Victoria Museum, Launceston, Tasmania. Hooker was one the most impo…rtant and influential botanists of his time. He, for example, was able to persuade the government at the time to include botanists in all future exploration expeditions. Although he never visited Van Diemen's Land, these correspondents were most eager to keep Hooker up to date with their discoveries and finds. Their letters coincide with his popular tenure at the University of Glasgow and the early years of his hugely important years as Director of Kew Gardens (he expanded the gardens, for example, from 10 acres to 75). The book is in general good repair. The cover is strong and sure. It has very general shelf marking and wear to the corners and the head and foot of the spine. The front and end papers have adhesive tape residue. The frontispage has a gift inscription. The contents are in studious, calm condition. The pages are clean, clear, assured, measured and tidy. fk.

Condition: Very good. New York, August 31, 1901 and November 9, 1901., 1901. Very good. - Two letters addressed to the American lecture manager James B. Pond. The first, a 4 page autograph letter consisting of over 120 words penned on 4 sides of 6-7/8 inch high by 4-3/8 inch wide paper with the text framed by heavy black mournin…g rules. In his letter dated August 31,1901, the president of the Lotos Club Frank Richard Lawrence replies to a letter from the the American lecture manager James B. Pond informing him of his wife's death, "Our own troubles here culminated after eighteen months of the most terrible strain and anxiety in the death of my dear wife on the 11th instant, and I think we shall all go abroad next week for a few week's change of scene." He suggests that all matters pertaining to the Lotos Club should be handled by the Club's Vice President for a while. He'd like to call Pond the following week and invite Pond to dine with him before he leaves. He closes saying "We have had a crushing affliction as you will understand." Signed "Frank R. Lawrence". Folded for mailing with Pond's light red stamp indicating he's answered. Else, near fine. The second is a typed letter signed consisting of over 70 words typed on his 5-1/8 inch high by 8 inch wide personal stationery. Having returned from abroad, Frank R. Lawrence writes to Pond on November 9, 1901, that he is glad to have Pond's "kind note of welcome", he explains "I am glad to say that I am in tolerable health, have just returned as you know, and expect to take things a little gradually." Signed "Frank R. Lawrence". Folded for mailing with a tiny tear to the bottom edge. Both letters are in very good condition. The corporate lawyer and after-dinner speaker Frank Richard Lawrence (1845-1918) served as President of the Lotos Club for 29 terms and presided over nearly all of the noted dinners at the Club where national & international figures were honored. He was active in masonry and served as the Grand Master of the State of New York, during which time New York's Masonic Temple was erected. He married Eva Annette Reed in 1874. A member of the New York Yacht Club, Lawrence was a yachting enthusiast and owned several steam and sail yachts, and once served as Commodore of the American Yacht Club.

Clear, removable, archival protective sleeve fitted to dust-jacket. E. M. Forster first attempted editing the letters for publication, but gave up the effort. It fell to Garnett to compile this 1938 edition, which is the major collection, rivalled and supplemented only by 'Home Letters of T. E. Lawrence and his Brothers', (1954). Minor corrections were made during the run of the first impression and thus it appears in two states. O'Brien A202.

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First Edition. The first edition in book form. Out of an edition of 450 copies, this is one of the 200 printed on California bond-paper and signed by the publisher, with eight hand-colored line block relief prints from drawings based on old prints of life in the California Gold Fields. First publ…ished serially in "The Pioneer" magazine in 1854-55, these celebrated letters offer an insightful and vivid account of everyday life in a California mining town. Having sailed around Cape Horn to San Francisco, Clappe (1819-1906) joined her husband at Rich Bar in September 1851, and wrote a series of 23 letters between 1851 and 1852 to her sister back home in Massachusetts. Although not originally intended for publication, the letters are a carefully composed commentary upon a masculine society in which "Dame Shirley" wittily and sometimes sentimentally displays her realistic observations of a coarse and barbarous way of life. Clappe later worked as a school teacher in San Francisco, before returning to the East in 1878. Octavo. Original gray paper-covered boards over a natural cloth spine, with a printed paper spine label. A near fine copy, with the dust jacket which appears to have been miscut or neatly trimmed.

All items very good, on lightly aged paper. Four closely written and interesting communications on his writings and philosophy. LETTER ONE (16 June 1930, 2 pages, 12mo): On the question of 'that misunderstanding regarding our last visit', the rest of the month is 'booked up', but 'perhaps the postponement - I hope it is no more…than that! - of our coming may not be a bad thing'. Since their last meeting he has been 'passing through a phase of extensive internal adjustment, the physical aspect of which has taken the form of very bad health'. He has 'hardly written a line', and it is 'a time, for me, of extreme introversion and apathy and I am really not fit to appear in society!'. Although 'friend Halliday would probably be sceptical regarding the fact', '[i]t is one of the things to be expected on the rather curious path which I am following'. When he emerges hopes to 'dash off in fairly rapid succession' essays on humanism and religion. Is on friendly terms with Hugh Fausset [Hugh l'Anson Fausset, 1895-1965, English poet and religious writer] ('whom I admire greatly and whose religious development is I think going to be remarkably interesting'). Asks how Wood and his colleagues 'got on with Rabindranath' [Tagore, 1861-1941, Indian poet]: 'I gather that he was a bit of a nuisance!' LETTER TWO (28 October 1930, 2 pages, 12mo): Responding to an invitation from Wood, he is looking forward to a visit to the Quaker educational settlement at Woodbrooke: 'I might have the delightful experience of posting off the MS and then stepping into the train for Woodbrooke for a badly needed rest'. Discusses possible itinerary. Referring to Wood himself, hopes that he and his wife Lorna will 'see something of the Professor of Theology and the Philosophy of Religion at the Selly Oak College'. LETTER THREE (14 March 1931, three pages, 12mo): Announces the publication of his 'Prospects of Humanism'. 'I shall of course be very interested to hear what impression it makes upon you.' Hopes Wood will review it. He is 'far from satisfied' with the book, which 'bears the marks of having been written during a period of strain'. His thoughts 'have already turned to Op. III, by which I shall stand or fall in the end'. Three paragraphs discuss the 'Kosman Church', on the subject of which Hyde can 'quite sympathise' with Wood's 'uneasiness': 'My aim [.] is to define the conditions which, in my opinion, will have to be complied with by a truly modern Religion'. Asks if Wood has seen Geoffrey Heard's 'Ascent of Humanity': 'in a large measure it expresses the same type of consciousness with which Fausset, [John Middleton] Murry [1889-1957] and myself are so directly concerned in our different ways'. LETTER FOUR (2 April 1931, three pages, 12mo): Is pleased with Wood's 'favourable verdict on the Prospects'. 'You are one of the few whose judgement I trust in these matters, and your appreciation is one of the things that helps me to go on'. Is happy that Wood considers his book better than its predecessor, and discusses the two books. Is glad that Wood feels that he has 'sounded the Quaker note': 'this brings us together'. Feels that the author of 'that extraordinarily hostile notice in the T[imes]. L[iterary]. S[upplement]. 'at least did me a service by taking two columns to dismiss me!' Enjoyed Hoyland's essay and asks how Wood's own book is progressing. He 'will not anticipate' the arguments in his 'Opus III': 'I am philosophically a resolute Occidental!' He refuses to 'entertain the idea that matter is evil', and believes 'firmly' in progress. Discusses some recent essays by Middleton Murry. Discusses the 'Nation' and 'Everyman', the editor of the latter having 'asked me to give him some of my new book in the form of articles'. Also included is a Typed Note Signed to Wood from Horace Fleming, Honorary Warden, on the letterhead of the Mary Ward Settlement, 20 March 1931, sending Hyde's book.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1962. 13.5 x 21 and 20.5 x 13 cm. Two typed letters stapled together, one of which is a carbon duplicate on onion skin paper; both signed by their authors. One vertical fold and some light diagonal creasing to upper corner of letter by Durrell, which has been signed as 'Larry D.' on verso in blac…k ink. Tiller's letter, which is the carbon duplicate, has been folded once horizontally and has a crease along the bottom, and has been signed briefly or initialled by Tiller in blue ink. The letters have been stapled together with two copper staples, and bear two torn scraps of onion skin paper on top of the two letters. Both published in 'Personal Landscape: An Anthology of Exile' in 1945, Durrell and Tiller both spent time in wartime Cairo, with Durrell having worked as a press attache for the British embassy and Tiller holding an academic position. These two letters between Durrell and Tiller give an honest view of their personalities and highlight the relationship between the two writers. At this time Tiller was working for the BBC Features Department, and his friendly letter to Durrell lets him know that someone will be sending him some of his poetry, and then asks about doing a half-hour programme of Durrell's favorite poetry. Durrell's rather flippant response informs Tiller than he needs to begin his letters of request with "the mention of a sum of money, which is what makes me most happy; and saves sometimes as much as two replies." Overall, these two letters provide some amusing insight into the relationship of two mid-century authors. Signed by Authors. Loose Leaves. Very Good.

Two letters providing an insight into the relationship between artist and patron in nineteenth-century England. See the the Duke's entry, and Eastlake's, in the Oxford DNB, as well as James Lees-Milne's biography 'The Bachelor Duke' (1991). With regard to the subject of the letters (now at Chatsworth), Eastlake's obituary in the… Illustrated London News states: 'A more important effort was a large composition, commissioned by the Duke of Devonshire, the subject of which was derived from Plutarch's story of the Spartan Isadas appearing in a battle armed but undraped, and being in consequence taken for a god; the exhibition of which picture, in 1827, procured the artist's election an Associate of the Academy.' Both items have strips of minor discoloration, otherwise they are in good condition, lightly aged and with postage folds. Both signed 'Devonshire.' Eastlake is not named as the recipient of the first letter, but given the context his identity is apparent. ONE: 7 October 1827; Chatsworth. 2pp, 12mo. On first leaf of bifolium. The letter suggests that Eastlake has been paid twice. Begins: 'Dear Sir / I am surprized & embarrassed by the letter I have today received from you, and I can only account for my bankers conduct by my having employed a secretary at the very busy time of last spring, who may have sent another order for 250£, I having forgot having done so myself. / I have written to Messieurs Snow for an explanation of this & they will give information to Messieurs Harman. / Sir Thomas Lawrence who is here is going to repair a slight injury done to the picture on the journey. I have hung it in a very good though temporary place, & I admire it more every day'. In 1837 the author of 'Modern Chatsworth; or, The Palace of the Peak' reported that the painting had recently been removed from the state drawing room at Chatsworth to the banqueting hall. TWO: 25 July 1852; Brighton. 1p, 4to. Written (for reasons explained in the text) in a very shaky hand. Eastlake would clearly like to retouch his painting, but the Duke is not inclined to let him. Reads: 'Dear Sir Charles / I should be willing to comply with a request of yours, but I do not like to remove Isadas [sic] from the position where he is seen and admired by thousands every year. But a stronger objection is that I never could consent to having the picture retouched or altered. It is valued by me, and accompanied by too many recollections & associations to permit that. Wishing to give you a [sic] immediate answer, I have used my paralytic left hand. / most sincerely yrs / Devonshire.'.
