1946ABE-2356638188Constable London 1946 The very rare War Economy jacket is safe inside its mylar sleeve now but it was already a fragile thing the day it was issued. But at least it has protected the smooth blue binding and the silver gilt spine titling. Although the binding is not faded it is a bit spotted. A small owner signature is on the FEP and it has the date '1946'. Fortunately it is neat. Text block is tanned because of the paper of course. But this is a good collectable copy of an uncommon book.

1896ABE-5386825687Smith Elder & Co. London 1896 A rare Conan Doyle first edition beautifully rebound in navy quarter leather with gold titling on the spine five raised bands and hand marbled front and back boards. An important Sir Arthur Conan Doyle book and for many collectors it is a centre piece of their collection. Rodney Stone is a Gothic mystery and boxing novel first published in 1896. The rebinding adds a great elegance of course but it also adds durability and quality. This is an heirloom quality binding that will sit handsomely on any Conan Doyle collector's shelf. Illustrations are by Sidney Paget and this is the true first from 1896 which means the half tone blocks are fresh and clear. This is the true English and world 1st Edition. The eponymous narrator is a Sussex country boy who is taken to London by his uncle Sir Charles Tregellis a highly respected gentleman and arbiter of fashion who is on familiar terms with the most important people of Great Britain.

The book includes vignettes of a number of historical personages notably the Prince Regent Lord Nelson Sir John Lade Lord Cochrane and Beau Brummell.

1998ABE-5858626889Bloomsbury London 1998 Harry and Meghan have bought the Santa Barbara home that was the subject of this superb novel Riven Rock. The intriguing tale of a trailblazing women s rights activist who married the youngest son and heir to a vast family fortune may be of great interest to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Not only does the relationship between Katharine and Stanley McCormick draw the odd parallel with their own but the royal couple s new Santa Barbara home is built on what was once McCormick family land. The fabled 87-acre estate in Montecito California boasts a fascinating history - the place where Mr McCormick was confined for 40 years due to mental illness while a string of eminent psychiatrists were employed in a desperate but ultimately fruitless bid to cure him. The 19th century family saga is documented in this 1998 novel Riven Rock by the award winning American author TC Boyle. The villa also featured in an episode of The Sopranos.

Bound in contemporary pebbled morocco spine and tips over marbled paper boards; edges rubbed but a sound and attractive copy.
