First edition, first printing. 1" bump and short tear to lower edge of front board, crisp bright pages; unclipped jacket lightly creased along upper edge and top of spine. "Marsh’s writing is engaging, clear, and his contentions are well-supported through extensive research. The most interesting aspect of the book to me was how much the daughters were involved in political discussions and debate — and that their opinions were well-respected; of course with that respect came somewhat of an obligation to support and help sustain the males’ political careers, which may have been part of the reason three of the four sisters never married."

Craftsman House , 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Tightly bound, clean bright pages, lightly shelfworn jacket. This work explores the deranged psycho-spiritual imagery that flowed into "alternative" Soviet art in response to the oppression of the State. The eccentric artists whose work are discussed here, experienced fantasy as reality and felt that, collectively, their lives resembled "a competition of madness". However for them there was no alternative - the standards of the totalitarian state were even more terrifying than insanity itself. The "Moscow Schizoids" lived in two worlds at the same time - the physical and the imaginary - but both dimensions were equally real in different ways. For these artists, creative expression provided a path culminating in liberty and "truth" - an escape from social oppression to a visionary realm beyond. Illustrated. 120 pages.

Faber & Faber, 1997. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Fine. Inscription to previous owner on front endpaper. Contents clean thou;gh age toned, age spotting to top edge; very light wear to jacket. This third part of a biography of Jean Sibelius provides an account of his career from the outbreak of World War I, which found him poised on the brink of his 5th Symphony, to his death in 1957. It traces the genesis of the 5th Symphony and gives a portrait of Finland during the early years of independence and civil war. The author relates in detail Sibelius's financial plight during these years, and his struggles with his own psyche. He follows the composer's career through to the 7th Symphony and "Tapiola", and the increasing corrosive streak of self-criticism which blighted his last years, resulting in the destruction of the 8th Symphony. 347 pages.

Haynes, 2018. Hardcover. Fine Condition. Clean unmarked pages, very slight wear to boards. Although it follows the standard Haynes format, this book is definitely a bit wordier than the average "workshop manual." While there's still plenty of excellent diagrams and photographs, a substantial chunk of the text is devoted to the development of British MBTs in the second half of the Cold War, the introduction of the tank into service, and first-hand accounts from crewmembers who fought in the Iraq War. For once this doesn't feel like potted history; the level of detail in the historical sections is fairly substantial and added to my overall understanding of the tank's design. The technical sections are also fairly well done, with quite a few "how it works" bits (how to start the engine, how to engage an enemy tank, etc.), a photographic "walkthrough" of a tank's interior, and descriptions of each CR2 variant.

Continuum, 2004. Softcover. A Very Good copy-clean, no loose pages, just light wear to cover edges, bright pages. Steve Taylor's A-X on Xfm is one of the most impressive shows on commercial radio in the UK - a thorough, genuine, intelligent and analytical trawl through fifty years of alternative music and the personalities, culture and social influences behind it. The book is an ideal companion to the series, but also very interesting on its own as both a reference (to look up details of a particular artist or band) or to be dipped into at random. Taylor's style has the right blend of knowledge and enthusiasm with sufficient cynicism to prevent this being a mere hagiography.Ideally, the book would come with an accompanying set of CDs or DVDs with the entire radio series on it. Possibly one day Xfm will make such archival material available; if it does not, it will be something of a tragedy. 320 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1kg.
