Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. This fascinating book charts Philip Larkin's arrival in Hull, his relationships with the Hartleys. Jean Hartley evokes the 50s and the 60s brilliantly, and the small press became an important chapter in the literary history of the time.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is the largest book I have come across; it measures 2 feet high by 1 foot wide. I have never sent a book like this in the post so if you are interested I'm sure we can work something out. It is a FIRST EDITION HARDBACK, and it weighs a fair bit. It is an astonishing publication. For the aviation fan it is very simply STUNNING. Whether you are ten years old or a hundred; if you enjoy looking at wonderful photographs of exciting aircraft this is ESSENTIAL. The pleasure is further enhanced by the expert text. The jacket is complete and undamaged but it betrays a few signs of having been opened, hence my jacket rating of Near Fine. There are some people who will look at this and frame the pages, others will simply drool. It is special, it really is. Needless to say there will be extra postage depending on destination.…
