Cloth. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Waterstain mark to bottom edge of last few pages. Date to inside cover. Slight shelf wear and small repair to edge of D/J. Price clipped to D/J. This handsome volume portrays the horse in all his elegance and variety. Over 100 maginificent photographs - a third of them in full colour - illustrate the main breeds of horses and ponies and reflect the many different ways in which they are used by man for his sport and leisure. The author's accompanying text is as evocative as it is informative. While lamenting the imminent passing of such working horses as the Shire and the Clydesdale, he notes the revival of coaching; even more popular, and ever-grwoing in popularity, are the numerous Riding and Pony Clubs in which you can graduate from weekend hacking to dressage or ride any kind of pony from the Connemara to the Shetland. Sport is richly and dramatically represented - from Show Jumping, with such stars as Marion Mould on Stroller, and Three-Day Events to Polo and Hunting; or, if you're more of a spectator than a rider, Mr. Williams recaptures the excitement of the turf - be it flat-racing, hurdling or steeplechasing - and of the American Rodeo. Illustrated. 121 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Reprint. Hardback. Ex-libris name sticker to inside cover. Stratford-upon-Avon, Compton Wynyates, Kenilworth Castle, Henly-in-Arden, Ragley Hall, Warwick: these are the places traditionally associated with Warwickshire. Yet the author shows in this book, the country has much more to offer than the ordinary tourist ever sees. It is as much the biographical and historical association, however, as the purely topographical aspects of the county with which Mr. Bird is here concerned: Dr. Jephson and Leamington's rise as a spa; the Civil War battle at Edgehill; the royal visits, as expensive as they were honourable to the hosts, in particular Queen Elizabeth I's to Kenilworth; and a list of worthies which is diverse and distinguished, and includes Shakespeare of course, Joseph Arch, Michael Drayton, Piers Gaveston, Thomas Arnold, Keith Holyoake, Arthur Hugh Clough, and Rupert Brooke. With its 31 excellent illustrations and map this is an originaly and delightful contribution to the bibliography of Warwickshire.

Book First Edition
Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback First Edition The Place Names of Sussex.190 pages clean and tight. Place names, like historic architecture, are living evidences of the past. Once the meanings of the names in a locality are known, the history and development of a particular town, village or hamlet appear in a new and revealing light, and something can be learned of the way of life, the beliefs, the work, the pleasures and the personalities of those who once lived there. Judith Glover here presents a scholarly but fascinating A to Z of more than 2,000 Sussex place names. She traces their origins, very often rooted in Old English, and shows how they have changed over the years. In turn, this involves a wealth of intriguing local history and legend. An essential book for Sussex patriots and the many place-name enthusiasts.

Book First Edition
Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Shelf wear and a couple of small tears to edge of D/J. As the boundary between the two countries crosses the farm in which for more than a quarter of a century, Ronald Duncan has lived and worked, he is able to write with equal impartiality, critical or affectionate about both countries. Like all good topographers, Ronadl Duncan is as curious about people as he is about places. The wreckers and poachers figure here alongside the fifteenth-century splendours of the parish churches; the worthies of the past and present - Raleigh, Hawker of Mormenstow, Henry Williamson - side by side with prehistoric antiquities or present-day landscape beauties. Nor is the choice of people or places by any means a conventional one. Exmoor is appreciatively anatomised, but so too are the strange lunar qualities of the Cornish china-clay mines. Fine photographs reinforce the virtues of a book which, crammed as it is with facts, would nevertheless have been written only by Ronald Duncan. Illustrated. 191 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
