First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 297 x 210mm; spiral-bound at head. Produced at the September Press. Documentary film-maker and collector extraordinary, Jonathan Gili (1943-2004) was also a quirky small-press publisher who deployed his eye for design not only for books as grand as John Betjeman's Metro-Land (1977, with lithographs by Glynn Boyd Harte) but also for calendars for his sometime school-friend David Game's group of tutorial colleges, founded in 1974. Latterly, he used his own artful photographs; his early calendars deployed a talented team of illustrators. These drawings by Peter Brookes were reproduced from The Sunday Times, The Times, Radio Times and The Listener.

Christopher Brown applied himself to linocuts at the suggestion of Edward Bawden, who is a benign and obvious influence.
