Author: Lewis Grassic Gibbon
Title: Cloud Howe
Description: Book is Good grey cloth binding, First Edition, Jarrolds, London, 1933. A sound though very shelfworn copy. The binding is solid, the pages generally clean on high quality laid-effect paper. Map end-papers and half-title lightly foxed. The spine is frayed at both ends, with 5 quarter-inch nicks and a torn flap a half-inch at the top, though not threatening to worsen along the seams, which are OK. Covers rubbed and dull, but no cup-rings or spills. The titling gilt on the spine has faded out completely, but the writing can still be discerned. Slight spine lean. Its hard to tell, but the book could also be missing a blank leaf between the map endpaper and the half-title. If a leaf has been removed, it has been done so neatly that the effect looks intentional, so I don't know, it certainly doesn't spoil the copy, and it could well be nothing was removed at all. To make up for all that, this is the true first edition of this classic Scottish story, part of the Scots Quair, and very scarce nowadays. Size 12mo

Author: Unknown
Title: Photographic studies of Japanese Tree blossoms in Springtime
Description: Book is Fine in Fine dust jacket. Red Cloth binding, First Edition, Japan, 1990. A spectacular large format book, full of photographic studies of blossoming trees amongst the Japanese landscape. The text is all in Japanese, so I am unable to read the author, title or publisher name, but the ISBN number should identify the book. Comes in a pictorial slip-case, finshed on the ends with red cloth. The book itself is sumptuously bound in red cloth, with bright gilt titling on the spine and front (which being a Japanese book, is the "back"). The book and slipcase are in beautiful condition, with just alittle dustiness on the top of the slipcase. 270 pages of colour studies on fine coated paper stock. Originally published at 18,000 yen.
