Hardcover. 390p., plus a 16-page publisher's menu of other Wheatley titles in print. and catchpennys. A well-gotten-up item, with two differing endsheet maps, many other maps in the text (line-drawn), a bravura frontispiece in color, and many b&w photos, mostly vignette portraits. Wheatley has inscribed the titlepage to one Henry Hopkinson (the British diplomat?) as "Souvenir of a grand evening in Athens," datelining March 1938. Wheatley has, by the way, a remarkably good hand and an instinct for layout. Book-design and condition: thick 8.5x5.5 inch openweave cloth boards, grey, with titling and decoration in red, spine panel slightly toned with handling, mild edgewear, corner-tips a little turned, endsheet maps unmolested, hinges sound, textblock clean, no markings besides Wheatley's. A unique copy in very good shape.

First Edition. [Military History] INSCRIBED FIRST EDITION, first impression. Octavo (22 x 15cm), pp.390 [26]. With a coloured halftone frontispiece, 16 plates (30 illustrations), and 8 maps. With author's gift note in blue ink to the title page: 'For / Percy Muir / With the best of / good wishes / from / his friend // Dennis [underline]'. Publisher's grey cloth blocked in red. A near fine copy without the jacket. One of a few non-fiction works by thriller/adventure writer Dennis Wheatley. Recipient Percy Muir (1894-1979) was a book expert who introduced Ian Fleming to book collecting and assembled his important collection of scientific and pioneering books which 'made things happen'. Muir was a regular contributor to The Book Collector journal, of which Ian Fleming was the proprietor. Muir charmingly appears as British agent Muir, head of Station Z (Zurich) in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (Cape, 1963), whose signal room is hidden behind a book-lined wall. Purchased from the late great bookseller Nigel Williams (descriptions inserted), this copy is from the Ian Fleming Bibliographical Archive assembled by Jon Gilbert, with his pencilled ownership to endpaper.

Signierter eigenh. Rezensionsentwurf in Deutscher Kurrentschrift a. chamoisfarbenem Makulaturblatt (27.5 x 21.8 cm), ca. 17 Zeilen (Tinte, Spitzfeder), sign. 'Albert Büchi', verso Formulardruck mit nummerierten Zeilen. Blatt etwas knittrig, ursprüngl. doppelt gefaltet. Alters- u. Manipulationsspuren. Gesamthaft sauberes, sehr ordentliches Exemplar - - Wohl nicht (mehr) gedruckt publiziert - Provenienz: ex Nachlass Prof. Dr. Albert Büchi (Frauenfeld TG 1864-1930 Freiburg FR), von Ettenhausen TG, Historiker. Ab 1889 PD, ab 1891 o. Prof. für Schweizer Geschichte an der Universität Fribourg, Förderer der katholischen Geschichtswissenschaft in der Schweiz (HLS). "Seiner Beurlaubung zum Habilitationsstudium in Bonn, Köln und Paris folgte vom Sommersemester 1891 an bis zum Sommersemester 1930 eine ununterbrochene Lehrtätigkeit als ordentlicher Professor für Schweizergeschichte an der Universität Freiburg. Einige Jahre lehrte er dort zusätzlich Alte Geschichte. [.] 1904/05 war er Rektor der Universität Freiburg." (etc.; wikizero com de, online). Vgl. den ausführlichen Nekrolog aus der Feder von J. P. [Johann Peter] Kirsch in: Zschr. f. Schweiz. Kirchengeschichte ZSK 24/1930, pp. 161-166 (digitalis. in e-periodica). - Das vom vielbeschäftigten und fleissig publizierenden Prof. Büchi besprochene Buch, ein breit angelegter Reader mit 10 Beiträgen entspr. der grossräumigen Bistumsstruktur mit 9 Kantonen (SO, LU, BE, ZG, BS, BL, TG, SH, AG), war erst gegen Ende 1928 erschienen (das Vorwort ist datiert Solothurn, November 1928). Es wird somit erst 1929 zum bereits aufgelaufenen Stapel von Büchis Rezensionsexemplaren gestossen sein. Jedenfalls lieferte er z.B. nur schon der ZSK für diesen Jahrgang noch 5 Buchbesprechungen unterschiedlicher Länge (davon 4 allein im letzten H. 4). Es scheint daher durchaus vorstellbar, dass der im Mai 1930 verstorbene Albert Büchi diesen für eine Publikation ev. in der ZSK vorgesehenen - und voll signierten - (Original-) Entwurf, entstanden im weiteren Verlauf des Jahres 1929, nicht mehr zur Veröffentlichung eingesandt hat. Der eher pragmatische und unproblematische Inhalt der Gedenkschrift forderte den hochqualifizierten Rezensenten jedenfalls nicht heraus: entstanden ist eine routinierte, weitgehend nüchtern-deskriptive Buchbesprechung mit den gebotenen Einwänden ("nur in allgemeinen Zügen die Zeiten der Klosteraufhebung u. des Kulturkonfliktes in gedrängter Übersicht") und dem abschliessenden kritischen Hinweis: "Das gute Inhaltsverzeichnis bildet leider keinen genügenden Ersatz für das Fehlen eines Namenregisters". - Sprache: de.
