hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Tear, Robert. Tear here. First edition, inscribed and signed by the author to title page. London: Andre Deutsch, 1990. Hardback, VG, in unclipped dustjacket in protective cellophane sleeve. Red cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Binding strong. Frontispiece b/w illustration. 162pp., b/w illustrations. Contents clean and bright. Robert Tear, CBE (8 March 1939 29 March 2011) was a Welsh tenor singer, teacher and conductor. He first became known singing in the operas of Benjamin Britten in the mid-1960s. From the 1970s until his retirement in 1999 his main operatic base was the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; he appeared with other opera companies in the UK, mainland Europe, the US and Australia. Generally avoiding the Italian repertoire, which did not suit his voice, Tear became known in leading and character roles in German, British and Russian operas. Outside music he was a polymath. He published poems and two volumes of quasi-memoirs Tear Here (1990) and Singer Beware (1995) both written in a style so odd, so metaphysical and so idiosyncratic as sometimes to defy comprehension.
