A propos de cet article

THREE SIGNED ITEMS: 1st Listed: This is a Review copy, with Review slip laid in. Signed by Duncan Glen in ink to ffep. This makes this a Scarce item. About Duncan Glen: As well as his own poetry, he has produced a number of anthologies and an impressive range of publications in other areas, including an influential history of typography. His book, Hugh MacDiarmid, and the Scottish Renaissance (1964) was the first full critical study of the poet and did a great deal for his reputation. Glen also edited Akros magazine for 25 years, providing a vehicle for Scottish literature in an international context. A nice copy, fine in the original brown cloth, in very good dust jacket, one very short, closed repaired tear to top edge, light fade spine, one nick to top edge rear panel. 2nd Listed: Published by Akros Publications, Preston 1977, Red Card Covers, a Fine copy, small mark inside rear cover/pastedown. P.12 [iv], Signed in ink to front pastedown "To Alex from Duncan / 1st March 1977, also Flat Signed by Duncan Glen again, this is NO: 36/300 copies. Alex is Alexander Mackie Scott was a Scottish poet, literary journalist, playwright, and pioneering academic who, in 1971, helped to found (and serve as the Head for) the first and still the only independent department for the study of Scottish literature at the University of Glasgow. During the Second World War he was actively involved in several major conflicts, and in February 1945, he led his squadron through the Reichswald (Imperial Forest). This was a decisive operation ('Operation Veritable'), to clear and cross the forest near the Dutch-German border. In terms of the firepower of the artillery barrage, it was a bigger battle than even that of El Alamein. Throughout the battle, Scott looked after his men and exposed himself to danger first. For his actions, he was awarded the Military Cross (M.C.) but in later life was taciturn about his role in the War and very 'touchy' about his medal. 3rd Listed: by Duncan Glen: Published by Akros Publications, Preston (14 Parlands Avenue, Penwortham, Preston, 1971- The first twenty-five copies are numbered and signed by the author - title page verso. This copy unnumbered. However, this copy has a Signed dedication from Duncan Glen - " To Alex Scott contributor to the tradition and individual friend from Duncan Glen 21st October 1971".

Description de la boutique

I have collected books most of my life. My collection has reduced now to about 4,000 items. I list a few more as time goes by! It is difficult sometimes to allow old friends to move on. Of course, they can find fresh enthusiasm from their new owners. No matter how many items you handle, there's always excitement and interest. It is vital however that my items are described accurately and I would hope to offer good value. If you see something that you feel is 'too high' for your pocket, don't hesitate to make me an offer. I try to keep the postage costs down, and within the United Kingdom this will be free. Posting abroad will be competitive, and often I will not ask for additional amounts if this is viable. But weight of items is the deciding factor. I will add images to my descriptions, and I hope that the combination will help you to decide. Regardless, always double check or take time to contact me for further information, or merely just to clarify a point. Ask for more images. If I can reduce anything I will do so. If you purchase more than one item, then offering a decent discount is likely. If items are not as described or you have a valid problem with any item, then I am happy to make a full or partial refund. This will be in line with all Statutory guidelines e.g returning the book in the condition it was delivered, and do let me know as quickly as possible. If damage has occurred then try to provide images. Ring me on 01352-810931…
