Description:
Montreal: McGill Queens University Press, 2009. First Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. This book looks almost new. The interior is crisp and fresh. The top corner of the rear end paper has been clipped off, but this is the only flaw. The grey covers are fresh, with just a hint of wear at tips and corners. The dust jacket is not price-clipped, and shows no wear. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. An excellent copy. Synopsis: "David Williams shows how classic Great War literature, including work by Remarque, Owen, Sassoon, and Harrison, was symptomatic of a cultural crisis brought on by the advent of cinema. He argues that images from Geoffrey Malins' hugely popular war film The Battle of the Somme (1916) collapsed social, temporal, and spatial boundaries, giving film a new cultural legitimacy, while the appearance of writings based on cinematic forms of remembering marked a crucial transition from a verbal to a visual culture. By contrast, today's digital media are… Read More

Description:
Ottawa, ON: CEF Books, 1999. Soft cover. Near Fine. This book looks almost new. The interior is crisp and clean, with no marks, signatures, or signs of use. The illustrated paper covers are bright, with next to no wear. A very nice copy. Synopsis: "This is the memoir of Lieutenant James Pedley of the 4th Canadian Infantry Battalion [The Red Patch]. Pedley fought in France in 1917-18, was wounded, and awarded the Military Cross. His memoir is unique for its exceptional detail and his not always friendly, observations of the men he served with. The description of the positions at the Quarry, and of the deadly trenches in front of Avion have no equal. It was originally published in 1927.

Description:
London: Henry Frowde and Hodder & Stoughton, 1916. Hardcover. Good. The book supplied neither the publishing date nor the names of author or illustrator, so the 1917 date and identification of Charles Robinson as illustrator come from the British Library entry for this work. The book is complete, but has many condition problems. The front cover is bright, with edgewear and rounded corners and handling. The back cover also has water stains. This is a cutaway book, with an opening in the front cover to show an illustration on the title page. The opening has one chip of paper missing from the top edge. The 'belongs to' box on the inside of the front cover has been completed (dated December 25th/17). The paper on the title page has darkened, particularly where the cutawy exposed the paper to air. Excluding the title page, the book has 31 unnumbered pages, including four full-page colour illustrations, and many smaller black and white ones within the text. The paper covering the back hinge,… Read More
