Hope, Patrick Morgan, Elizabeth Perkins and Fay Zwicky. These papers were originally presented at a seminar by the Christopher Brennan Society at the University of Sydney in 1978. These essays aim to promote study of troubled academic Christopher Brennan (Associate Professor of German and comparative languages, University of Sydney). Some essays cover the various fields where he made significant contributions: poetry, Australian literature, European languages and literature, and notably religious thought and sentiment - perhaps as a substitute for his Catholic faith he lost as an undergraduate.

Top bump does not affect the book internally but there is evidence of the bottom bump throughout the book affecting a triangular area 2.5 cm by 2.5cm dust wrapper very slightly frayed Old price in ink to front cover. Apart from the bumping of the corner internally pristine with all plates and tissue guards present. No inscriptions or marking. We bought several copies of this book some years ago from the widow of someone who bought up books to sell when he retired. Unfortunately he did not manage to do this. We think he bought these when they were sold off either as remainders or as transit damaged items as there is bumping of corners to some of them. I am giving this information to explain why we are listing a number of copies but also to point out that these are unread having been in storage since 1952; either the publisher's warehouse, the first bookseller's shop, the home of the would-be bookseller, and lastly in our bookroom. As a result the internal condition of the books is exceptionally clean for a book which is 60 years old. This is a higher cost book, heavier than normal book (1.4 kilos with packing) which will incur extra costs for postage and insurance.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Chipped and Torn. Hardcover. A fascinating book with twenty-four gorgeous plates of birds by Axel Amuchastegui. The illustrator was himself an ornithologist, and his professional background shines through the skill and beauty of his art in this book. The author is described here as a observant philosopher, and a naturalist by vocation. The result is a book that combines serious science with lyrical prose. Bound in green cloth with a gilt outline of a bird in flight on the front cover and gilt titling to the spine. Except for light bumping to the corners and an unfortunate small tear to bottom edge of spine the covers are in very good condition. Internally the text pages and bird plates with tissue guards are in about fine condition. There are a few reminders of previous ownership, with a ownership plate of Isabelle Williams affixed to front pastedown, a handwritten letter from "Hunt" (Huntington Wililiams of Baltimore) dated 1972 affixed to a blank front Andrade bestowing the book as a birthday present to Joep (?). Inserted within the text pages is the original invoice from W. Dawson & Sons Booksellers in London to the Baltimore Commissioner of Health (Huntington William's) for three books, including this title. (At that time it sold for 2.15 pounds.) In the original illustrated dust jacket, which unfortunately is in poor condition, with tears and rips, particularly on the front cover. Despite the condition of the jacket, this is a very nice copy of a desirable work. Measures 9 x 12.25 inches. BIRDS/091026.…
