Clean copy of this collection of pieces considering the challenge of the atomic bomb. Ink annotations to pp.51-4 but not too heavy. This copy has been dedicated by the editor to The Baroness Ravensdale with best wishes - almost certainly Irene Curzon (1896-1966), who was made a CBE for her work in support of Save the Children. Includes a newspaper clipping reporting a speech by Clement Attlee to the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association in Canberra, in which he argues that insistence on the absolute right of sovereign power leads to anarchy. Dust wrapper good - some nibbling to edges and one tear near top of spine but no significant losses; unclipped & now in protective sleeve. Language: eng.

Store description
Now in its 76th year, The Bookshop on the Heath is one of South London's oldest and last remaining second-hand bookshops. We offer a range of exciting out-of-print titles in most subject areas, including literature, art, history, travel, biography, guidebooks and local history volumes, with many signed first editions. We have an excellent selection of illustrated children's books and a variety of posters, original art, maps, prints, and other ephemera, including football and theatre programmes. We always welcome enquiries from anyone interested in good books. We have had significant good publicity in recent years and we were judged one of Britain's top 50 bookshops by The Independent newspaper in 2008 "An absolutely fabulous bookshop". Our shop was chosen by Kudos Productions in 2008 for location filming of two episodes of the BBC's award-winning spy series "Spooks" and features in one of ITV's 2010 episodes of "House Guest". …
