Paperback. Condition: Very Good. An eccentric homage and passionate clarion call TLS 'A hymn of praise to the palaces of delight that should grace every street corner. Absolutely exquisite.' Ian McMillan John Bevis is a writer and book-lover on an eccentric quest: to obtain a membership card from every library authority in England. In a ten-year mission criss-crossing the country from Solihull to Slough, from Cleveland to Cornwall he enrols at libraries of all shapes and sizes: monuments to Art Deco or Brutalism; a converted corset factory; one even shaped like a pork pie. With the architectural eye of Pevsner and the eavesdropping ear of Bill Bryson, he engages us at every step with anecdotes and apercus about the role of the public library in our national life, while ruing its decline in the age of austerity. As interested in the people he finds as he is in the buildings and their history, he is a humane, witty and erudite guide. The result is a book to be treasured by anyone who has ever used a library. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Eric Parkers 'Surrey Naturalist' (1952) is the source of the poetry in this collection: using those same words, detached from their original context, would allow me to build new meanings from locally-sourced materials. This would be a way of by-passing the selectiveness of my memories, the bias of my experiences, the taint of hindsight.
