Farming Press Books, Ipswich, Suffolk, 1994. Second Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. This is an authentic first-hand account of life as a 16-year-old farm pupil in the early 1930s. In Suffolk, as elsewhere, the tractor had not yet displaced the horse, farms were full of labourers and the working day was long and hard. Hugh Barrett "lived in", received five shillings a week and learned to plough, build a stack, hoe beet and grind the pig food. His accounts of rabbits, rats and plagues of fleas are, like all the book, factually accurate and told with humour. The author sets out to convey "neither the bad old days nor the good old days" - just the year when he earned his first wage, the larks sang and the heavy tasks began to sort out the men from the boys.

Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. a volume in the 'The Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature' series; title page design is a reproduction of one used by the earliest known Cambridge printer John Siberch, 1521; Earthworms and their Allies, written in 1912 by Frank E. Beddard, offers both an introduction to the principal facts about earthworms and an analysis of their distribution across the world. The author states that: "The importance of earthworms in questions relating to geographical distribution is so universally admitted that it seemed to me convenient to embody in a short volume the principal facts. It became necessary in order to accomplish this task in an adequate fashion to preface the distributional facts with some anatomical and zoological data. I have reduced this section of the book to a minimum and I trust that the illustrations will enable the reader, who is not specially… Read More

In a book reminiscent of Oliver Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, psychologists Louis Franzini and John Grossberg take us behind the tabloid headlines and media exposes to tell the real­life stories of emotionally damaged men and women driven to horrific extremes in their efforts to gratify their basic human needs for love and attention.

John Bartholomew & Son Ltd, Edinburgh, 1973. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. It is not only succulent enthusiasts who are taking up the cultivation of these colourful plants. Certain species with showy flowers have long been offered by the trade as houseplants.

Herbert Jenkins, London, 1940. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. In the heart of Londons clubland there stands a tall and grimly forbidding edifice known to taxi-drivers and the elegant young men who frequent its precincts as the Drones Club. Yet its somewhat austere exterior belies the atmosphere of cheerful optimism and bonhomie that prevails within. For here it is that young gallants of Mayfair forgather for the pre-luncheon bracer and to touch lightly on the topics of the day. But all is not idle chatter that passes at this hour of the morning snifter--life in its sterner aspects often comes under review and is discussed with a candour that loosens tongues and encourages confidences. Then it is that the Eggs and Beans cluster round and with bated breath listen while a Crumpet holds the floor with a dramatic narrative of domestic disturbances in the life of Bingo Little or perhaps the heart-throb story of Freddie Fitch-Fitch at Droitgate Spa.
