Thomas Helmore, 1811 - 1890, was a teacher and choirmaster. Helmore's publications reflect his belief that plainsong was the perfect form of congregational singing, and include the Psalter Noted (1849), the Manual of Plainsong (1850), and the Hymnal Noted (1851), a collection of plainsong melodies with translations of the original texts by J. M. Neale (with whom Helmore also collaborated in two collections of carols). Helmore became the recognized authority on plainsong in Anglican circles. ODNB. A very good clean and complete copy of these two scarce works.

Laid in are the original pair of tickets for the show at which the book was signed (the National Ballroom in London, July 14, 1988). Author, songwriter, screenwriter, and actor Cave's first book, which collects early lyrics from his recordings with The Birthday Party and the Bad Seeds (up to and including the Bad Seeds' record, "Your Funeral, My Trial"), short stories and short plays. Cave's dark vision, coupled with his strong connections to primitive folk and blues music, and murder ballads in particular, has yielded an artist whose music rivals the intensity and integrity of Tom Waits and Johnny Cash.
