Dumfries, Scotland: Maxwell, 1906. The very uncommon 1st Edition of this title. This copy was Signed by the Author in 1907. Andrew McCormick's 'The Tinkler-Gypsies of Galloway' was published in 1906. It was one of the first books to look at the life and culture of Scottish Traveller communities and is now regarded as a classic of Galloway literature. 'The Tinkler-Gypsies' is a fascinating mixture of folk tale, popular anecdote, historical research and social observation which McCormick described as 'some gleanings along a literary Gypsy by-path.' In it he looked at the origins of the area's Travellers and explored the myth and reality of Billy Marshall, the self-styled King of the Tinklers who, together with his band of Travellers, was the focus of many Galloway folktales. But the main value of the book today is its depiction of Traveller life in the early years of the 20th century. McCormick visited Traveller camps, talked to individual Travellers and listened to their tales. He also tried to record the 'cant' or dialect of the Galloway Travellers and found many words related to Romany, the Gypsy language. This convinced McCormick that Galloway's Travellers shared a similar cultural background with the Gypsy communities of England and Europe and led him to coin the term 'Tinkler-Gypsy.' This copy was also Signed by the Author in 1907. p. xvi, 477, xxx, errata page. With numerous b/w illustrations and photographs and one fold-out map in red illustrated cloth covers, a tad dulled to spine, with light rubs to spine ends. Tightly bound, pages clean throughout. [ Location: BR2/1 ]. Signed by Author. Hard Cover. Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾".

Description:
London: National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations, 1945. Political edition," only printing. Pamphlet. This is an extraordinarily fine example of the only printing of the "Political" edition of this striking wartime speech pamphlet. Published in April, 1945, by the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations, this was a campaign piece for the forthcoming General Election, containing Churchill's March 15, 1945 address to the Party Conference at Central Hall, Westminster. It attests to the fact that, as the war in Europe drew toward an inexorable close, the suspended tensions of domestic politics intruded ever more urgently on the politically unified war effort, fracturing the wartime coalition that had acknowledged Churchill as its indispensible Prime Minister. Having done so much to win the war, Churchill faced frustration of his postwar plans when his wartime government fell to Labour in the General Election of July 1945. He would remain Leader of the Opposition until…

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).
