Description:
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1985. " Our Lady of The Snows" is the phrase used by Kipling to describe Canada. This story is set in downtown Toronto in a hotel that is both seedy and glamerous. Socialites meet there, but so do petty crooks and gangsters who later turn up dead. The central observer of life at the Bradley House is Gil Gihooley, the barman who has travelled widely to gather material for the writing career he plans. While the story is tough and realistic, it is also enriched by an unmatched sense of the Toronto streets in winter, and by wonderfully sensitive vignettes that remind us of Callaghan's peerless skill as a short-story writer. Very small usage of 'white-out' on ffep. Illustrated price-intact dust jacket.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.

New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1989. Robert M. Fomon was a man dedicated to E.F. Hutton. He envisioned the firm's new, pink marble headquarters in Manhattan as a prominent symbol of the giant corporation that Hutton had become under his leadership. Everything about the building bespoke success. Unfortunately, by the end of 1987, when Bob Fomon's twenty-nine story memorial to his own achievement was finished, so was the firm. 'The Fall of the House of Hutton' untangles a web of intrigue unlike anything Wall Street has experienced in recent years. Hutton, one of the oldest and best-known names on Wall Street, did nor fall victim to a stock market crash or the industry's relentless drive toward consolidation. The end began with check-kiting...a scam to defraud large and small banks that almost gave the company interest-free loans..... A bright square copy....remainder mark to bottom edge.

Description:
London: B.T. Batsford Ltd., 1981. Some of the best poems about childhood, Samuel Carr believes, have been by writers who were themselves childless, and he cites the verses of William Blake, Charles and Mary Lamb, William Cowper, Thomas Gray, R.L. Stevenson and Christina Rossetti as cases in point. These poets are all here represented, but so too are many others by writers who knew children from a parent's point of view, not least Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth. Twentieth century poets, American and British, are also represented, among them John Betjeman, Frances Cornford, Phyllis Grinley, Anthony Thwaite, Randall Jarrell, John Wain and R.S. Thomas. As a complement to the poems there is a selection of paintings, drawings and prints by, for example, Rembrandt, Berthe Morisot, Gainsborough, Hogarth, Constable, Thomas Bewick, Winslow Homer, Mary Cassatt, etc, etc. The collection is thus a double anthology in which poems and pictures mutually illuminate one another. Four colour plates....30 b/w…
