Description:
Adelaide: Corkwood Press 1999-2003 Special Editions 6 vols 8vo, 1999 Very Fine leather-bound matching set of all six of Len Beadell's often humorous autobiographical writings detailing his pioneering road-building projects throughout the Central Australian deserts on behalf of the Woomera Rocket Range. Each volume is beautifully bound in kangaroo leather, with gilt titles, gilt maps to covers, map end-papers, and illustrated with b&w and colour photographs and Len's original line drawings. A special limited edition of 50 copies of each volume, each volume offered here being no.41 of the series. Blast the Bush is autographed by Len's widow Anne Beadell, and his children, Connie Sue Beadell and Gary Beadell, after whom two of the great outback highways are named. Too Long in the Bush is also signed & inscribed by Anne Beadell, and Bush Bashers is signed and inscribed by Connie Sue Beadell. A magnificent set that does justice to Len Beadell's writings, and looks great on the shelf.

Angus and Robertson Limited , 1915. 1st Edition. Hardcover. VG++/VG+. 1st Edition, 1st printing. 8vo., 15.5 x 19cm, xii, 13-126pp. Publisher's original green cloth with title to spine and titles & vignette to front board. Inscribed and signed to his great friend, Sir David Low, in the year of publication. Publisher's original dust jacket with ad for The Snowy River Series (listing sixteen titles of verse and four of prose) on the back panel as called for. The green cloth is in very good condition, noting a 1mm diameter black dot near the bottom of the front joint. The spine is a little toned with two tiny chips at the tip of each spine end. The bottom fore edge corner of the lower board has a tiny bump, the others remain firm and square. Internally, the book is generally in very good condition. There are a few light finger and other marks to the first few pages. The front free endpaper has two newspaper clippings stuck to it. One shows Hal Gye standing beside C J Dennis' memorial tablet and the other shows C J Dennis and his wife. The half title is inscribed in his characteristic green ink, as follows: 'To Dave Low / with a cobber's disrespect / C J Dennis / Nov. 9/15'. Sir David Low came to the UK from New Zealand via Australia and lodged with C J Dennis. In his autobiography (Low's Autobiography, Michael Joseph, 1956) he states: "I shared a studio with Hal Gye, caricaturist, and C.J. Dennis, poet, was our inseperable. Before settling in Melbourne, I lived as a fellow-lodger with Den for a space and finished my cartoons by night on his wash-stand while he read proofs aloud in bed. After that, Hal and I took our studio, and Hal arranged to illustrate Den's book. Thus the association was confirmed". The rare, original dust jacket is in remarkably good condition. It has minor chipping to the extremes of the spine ends, the worst of which is some 4cm down from the top of the upper joint. There is a 4mm closed tear at the top edge of the front panel, closed tears of 4mm & 1mm at the top edge of the rear panel and one of 4mm at the bottom edge of the rear panel. The spine is a little toned and its shoulders are lightly rubbed. There are a number of foxing spots and general age related light toning - please see the images with this listing. A signed first edition of this book is a very scarce thing but one as complete, in a dust jacket is exceptional. An outstanding example of this Australian cultural touchstone. If you would like any further information or images please do not hesitate to contact us. spine ends, the worst of which is some 4cm down from the top of the upper joint. There is a 4mm close Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.

Calcutta: Surveyor General of India, 1925. Revised Edition. Linen-backed. Near Fine. Calcutta, India, 1925. Color "heliozincographed" map. Measures 46.5cm x 43cm (18¼" x 17"). Backed with linen as issued (for 3 anna extra). "Published under the direction of Brigadier E. A. Tandy, DSO, Surveyor of India, 1925." Condition: Slight edge toning, old folds. With the rubber-stamp of "Henri Vetch, The French Bookstore," Peking. Detailed topographic map of the territory that would become critical in the CBI - China-Burma-India Theater - during WWII. From a historic-cartographic standpoint, the need for accurate maps in executing Allied wartime logistics cannot have been more vital. Approaches to China by land and sea had been cut off by the Japanese. As a result, the burdensome "Hump" had to be surmounted. The E. A. Tandy-directed survey that generated this map would prove invaluable in negotiating that effort. That this copy was sold by Henri Vetch adds a hint of intrigue. More than a bookstore, Vetch's…

Hulme, Keri: The Bone People. Louisiana State University Press, A tale of New Zealand. Stated United States First Edition, 1985. 450 pages, indexed. 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).
