Zustand: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1976). (1964) 1976 2nd edition. 8vo (142 x 222mm). Pp93. B/w cartoon illustrations by John Tickner. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Slight browning, good-plus. Paint spots / marks to dust-wrapper. Humorous essays on shooting, accompanied by the author's cartoons. This 1976 second edition includes a new chapter on training gundogs. "Since the publication of To Hounds! with John Tickner in 1962, the famous artist-author has been unnaturally silent, licking the wounds inflicted by Horses, Hounds, Horse people, and people who look like horses. Now, sallying forth again, courageous and unrepentant (but carefully eschewing all Horse-flesh), Tickner brandishes his pen in the face of the fowler, gamekeeper, poacher, gundog, feather quarry and rough shooter, with a particular thrust at the Big Shots of the Big Game World. It is sufficient to say that in Tickner's Rough Shooting the reader will find numerous helpful and practical suggestions on a wide range of ticklish points, from how to get rid of unwanted guests at shoots, to how to behave when drowning in marsh mud in pursuit of wild duck." .…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. First edition hardcover in red paper covered boards with bright gold titles. Spine ends barely bumped, tips still sharp. No names, tears or soil in the 177 pp text. Unclipped dj shows light color loss at extremities and a repaired chip at the head of spine, dj now in new mylar and displays well. Little did Neil Hart - racing correspondent of The Mercury - imagine when assigned by the Editor, Mac, to probe and expose the crooks battening on the Turf that he would be caught in the lethal crossfire of Carlo Feretti's Mafia and Toni Ricci's Grand Circle. A car crash murder, a bomb blasted betting shop, a cock-fighting main, are merely curtain raisers in this exciting novel. Hart's involvement with the glamourous Pauline Montana - Ferettis moll - predictably does nothing to take the heat out of a torrid situation, which culminates in the brilliantly exciting climax of an airfield 'battle'. The Best Will Always Do is a racing thriller. A first novel of violence, suspense and sex, written against a racing background as authentic as it is realistic.…
