ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2007). 2007 1st edition. 4to (198 x 258mm). Pp215.

Slightly bumped o/w near fine in dust-wrapper. Signed and numbered by Bryan Holden. "BB grew up a keen observer of birdlife and was expert in recognising the songs and sounds of the various species, as well as understanding their particular characteristics. He drew and painted hundreds of pictures of birds and described their antics and way of life in his many books and magazine articles in a most fluent and intimate manner. Perhaps his greatest attribute was his skill in observing and describing the commonplace and everyday happenings and bringing them vividly alive. The arrival of the year's first swallow; the squabbling of house sparrows; the fairy-like song of the reed warbler; the emotive sight and sound of flighting geese - 'the hounds of heaven' - streaking across a sunset sky. BB's Birds is a book to dip into and to return to time and again, as one might a book of favorite poems. It is a joyous celebration: an anthology which includes extracts from some of the finest writings of this true-born countryman and self-taught naturalist. Never again will anyone be able to observe and record the English countryside as he did. There will never be another like BB." .

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. Reprint. Hardback. The Wicked Wit of Winston Churchill. He was the greatest orator of his day, the greatest leader of the Second World War, the greatest statesman of his age, and the greatest Englishman of the twentieth century, perhaps of all time. The debt owed to Sir Winston Churchill by the free world remains immeasurable. Yet at the heart of this often intimidating colossus lay a man of vast humanity, enormous wit and boundless humour. His most famous speeches and sayings have passed into history and into everyday language, but many of his aphorisms, puns, bons mots, jokes - often at his own or others' expense - are less well known. This unrivalled collection gathers hundreds of his funniest and wickedest quips in tribute to the exhilarating wit of this great-hearted, infuriatingly conceited, wildy funny, and brilliantly talented Englishman. Illustrated. 160 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, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
