Description:
Melbourne, Australia: The Henry George Foundation, January 1942. Second Edition. Paperback. Second edition, first printing. Near fine condition. This is a wartime reprint of extracts from two Churchill speeches delivered in the House of Commons on 4 May 1909 and at King's Theatre, Edinburgh, 17 July 1909. This pamphlet was first published as "The Menace of Land Monopoly" by the Henry George foundation in 1941. In 1942 the pamphlet was retitled and republished as "On Human Rights". The publisher's introductory note states: "In now publishing these extracts it is hoped that Mr. Churchill's eloquent and emphatic criticism of the present Land System will not be lost sight of in the post-war reconstruction for a New Social Order of which so much is being heard." The pamphlet measures 7.125 inches tall x 4.75 inches wide. It is sixteen pages in length with stapled cream colored card wraps. The front cover bears a decidedly resolute head and shoulders image of Churchill. This copy is crisp and bright.…

Description:
The book pictured is the copy being sold. The shocking absence of the binding boards may give the buyer opportunities that a buyer of this book with the original binding would not have. The book itself is in very good condition; the text is tight, gold gilt edges on the top, side, and bottom glitter. There is damage to the front flyleaf, but by the half-title page that fraying damage ends and is minor. There is light tanning of the paper at the edges. All the engraving have intact onion skin protection.Given the absence of any binding, this copy may be have more value by extracting its 36 engraving and the other prints. I hope that someone might be willing to rebind this book; giving you the opportunity to blend your style preference and the original 19th ornate style.This of course is a beautifully printed book, 257 pages.As this book weighs nearly 5.5 lbs., this book might require additional postage for expedited, international, or combined orders.

Description:
Pisa, a Spese dell' Autore, 1854. Hard Cover. 606, [2] page; 24.5 cm. "The most prolific and most incorrigibly Romantic of the many men who wrote historical novels in the period was Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi of Leghorn" (Wilkins, p. 432). The theme of Beatrice Cenci (1577-1599), the Roman woman beheaded for plotting to kill her father, appealed to Romantic writers-- Shelley's tragedy foremost among them. This novel isn't necessarily good history-- the first objective history was by Bertolotti in 1879. This privately printed edition is very rare; the edition usually cited is that of Milan, 1872, a full generation later and after the fall of the Papal government-- the real villain of the novel. The corrupted Papacy was the target of writers about Beatrice, and the Church's censorship made its publication dangerous in 1854. Very good copy, bound in 3/4 leather with marbled-paper boards; top of spine torn. Stock#OB305.

Hulme, Keri: The Bone People. Louisiana State University Press, A tale of New Zealand. Stated United States First Edition, 1985. 450 pages, indexed. WINNER OF THE PEGASUS PRIZE FOR LITERATURE AND THE BOOKER PRIZE. Used. Very Good/Very Good unclipped original $17.95 dust jacket. Summary: "The Bone People, first published in 1984 by Spiral, New Zealand. About this book: The Bone People is an unusual story of love. It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. This is in no way a romance; it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985).
