A foxing spot to page tips. 183 pages. This classic of natural history was first published in 1952, and did much to establish Richard Perry's now world-wide reputation as an observant, sympathetic naturalist and a brilliant writer. The story of the four seasons in the everyday life of the red-deer herds among the historic glens and pine forests of the Grampians, and on the moors and tops of the Cairngorms, is told in lucid, moving and informative style. Richard Perry, like other true naturalists, can put himself in the place of the creatures he studies and can vividly convey to the reader the excitement and achievement of watching their ways, and the impact on man himself of the Highland year in all its moods. Size: 8vo.

The history of river navigations other than the Thames is poorly documented. We now have, however, two excellent ones, Baron F. Duckham's The Yorkshire Ouse and Dorothy Summers' The Great Ouse. These give us the navigation history of two important rivers from the earliest times to the present, and very different they are. Navigation on the Great Ouse, completed to Bedford in the seventeenth century, had to contend for most of the time with powerful drainage interests: only occasionally, as under the South Level Corporation, were the two reconciled. Trade, too, was made more difficult because, right through the river's history from the seventeenth century to our own, navigation rights for most of the river were in private and not in company hands, with the right to charge tolls, except at one place, undefined. All this offers an absorbing and hitherto largely untold story. Dorothy Summers here develops the navigation history of the whole river from Bedford to King's Lynn and the Wash : the river and its tributaries, locks, staunches, bridges and mills, boats and boatmen, set against the endlessly recurrent need for good drainage. The Great Ouse adds greatly to our knowledge of navigation history: it is a book for all waterway enthusiasts, and for those who know and love East Anglia. Size: 8vo.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Robert Taylor Air Combat Paintings Volume III; Charles Walker & Robert Taylor; foreword by Group Captain Peter Townsend CVO, DSO, DFC; David & Charles, Newton Abbot, Devon. First published in 1991, reprinted in 1992 and 1995. This book is a presentation copy, signed by Robert Taylor, to Flying Officer Brian "Paddy" Finucane, RCAF. It would appear that this book was presented at the Duxford Legends Airshow in July of 1996 as it is signed by a number of participants, including WWII RAF ace H. Bird-Wilson, No. 17 Squadron. What is interesting, and I wish I knew the full story, was that there was a very famous WWII RAF ace by the name of Brendan "Paddy" Finucane, who was killed in 1942. In fact, "Birdy" Wilson wrote that he flew with the earlier Finucane. See the accompanying photo. The book is underlined with notes and circles by Brian "Paddy" Finucane, in a few places. A very interesting provenance. Widely regarded as the world's foremost aviation artist, Robert Taylor enjoys a popularity rare among living painters. Renowned for the sweeping panoramic scale of his air combat paintings, his characteristic style has ensured that there is today unparalleled worldwide demand for his superb paintings and limited-edition prints. His devotees include the British Royal Family, a former American President, legendary pilots and aircrews, aviation and naval museums, and a host of aviation enthusiasts from every continent. Twenty-four full colour reproductions of his works are accompanied by un-depth commentaries by the artist on each, revealing how he develops the painting from its initial concept to completion on the canvas. This large book, 128 pages measuring 360mm X 280mm, is in fine condition in a fine, French fold dust jacket. This large and heavy book may require additional postage. Inscribed by Author(s).
