Laminated illustrated wrappers, 4to, 123 pp, plates. 318 lots. A useful catalogue not least for its many plates each showing several dustwrappers. From the introduction: "Peter Apap Bologna's collection is all-embracing . but it is also highly personal. Alphabetically, we can run the gamut from Chinua Achebe and Peter Ackroyd (in spite of publishing the latter over many years, I had never heard of his early work Ouch) to Jeanette Winterson and John Wyndham. Indeed, these interesting juxtapositions give the flavour of the collection. Naturally, all the accepted great novelists - Golding, Durrell, Murdoch, Naipaul, Gordimer - are here. So too are the poets: Heaney, Gunn, Day Lewis, Larkin. In a real sense we have a microcosm of what we could, pretentiously, call the culture of the last sixty or seventy years. Another pleasure gained from such a group of books is the evidence of quirky taste. There are oddities: the publications of the Cuala Press and Wobum Books; the self-publicationsof J.L. Carr, Timothy Mo, and Jill Paton Walsh; out of the way items by Tom Stoppard, John Betjeman and John Fowles. And there are the writers of detective stories, adventure novels, and thrillers: Chandler, Simenon, Dick Francis and P. D. James of course, but also neglected authors like Roy Vickers, Edmund Crispin and Nicholas Blake. Here, you can find a complete set of Booker Prize Winners, Hornblower novels, the exploits of Inspector Morse, the experimentation of B. S. Johnson, the originality of Jane Gardam or Jennifer Johnston, the straightforwardness of John Grisham. You can be reminded of publishers, once flourishing, long defunct: John Lehmann, Rupert Hart-Davis, Macgibbon and Kee. You can find the names of publishers' editors (John Guest, Roger Senhouse, Charles Monteith) who inspired and encouraged their authors. You can revisit old favourites and gauge whether some writers who have flourished over the last few decades will still have currency in 2020. Martin Amis? Justin Cartwright? James Buchan?" Note on title-page, some lots marked with marginal marks and notes, rear wrapper slightly creased, otherwise Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-37634
