Octavo, blue boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 176 pp. Bookplate, otherwise, Fine; in a Very Good+ dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: Here, for the first time, the activities of aerial smugglers have been brought under review. In preparing this book the author has enjoyed full facilities for interviewing top customs officials; and records covering the past fifty years have been made available to him. Some incidents read more like fiction than fact. There is the story, for example, of the mysterious man in the green car who made fifty-seven flights across the Channel to organize a smuggling pipeline which extended over four countries. There are innumerable revelations concerning the activities of big-scale operators and their bids to win fabulous fortunes by smuggling gold, currency, diamonds, watches and dangerous drugs. There is a chapter on the wiles of expert women smugglers, and many sidelights are shed on the thousand-and-one tricks and stratagems devised by twentieth-century smugglers in their efforts to outwit the authorities. Aviation, Smuggling, Contraband, Smuggler, Bootleg, Illicit, Unlawful. yslic.

Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm. 188 pp, 8 plates. From the blurb - "George W. Beadle, then professor of genetics at Caltech, was a visiting professor at Oxford University. While there, it was announced that he had won a Nobel prize. The events of that year gave him and his wife, Muriel, a chance to know England, not as tourists but more as the English know it. It also gave them the chance to visit Europe s 'ruins'. Being a writer by nature and profession, Muriel Beadle set down the family s many experiences and impressions into this delightful book. It is both anecdotal and autobiographical. It illuminates, with good sense and great good humour, the English character - within an American frame of reference. They were shocked to find Oxford was no sleepy university town, but resembled mid-town Manhattan at high noon. They were faced with mundane problems of stoves and heaters, electrical outlets, and library research. As for Mrs. Beadle, she found such familiar friends as Heinz, Lux, Birds Eye, and Betty Crocker. These Ruins Are Inhabited is sheer enjoyment. It also offers a discerning commentary on English and American education, both at the university level and at secondary schools like the one the Beadles' fifteen-year-old son attended. (He went home saying 'jolly good' and with a taste for cricket.) The Beadle family explored much of England, took a fairy-tale trip to Stockholm, where Dr. Beadle claimed his Nobel prize, and toured France and Italy. They found that the ruins were indeed, inhabited, as is this book - with several of the nicest people you've ever met." Non-authorial inscription on front free endpaper, covers a little rubbed, otherwise Good in used dustwrapper.

Cloth, gilt cover device, 8vo, 372 pp, plates. The classic biographical and bibliographical account of Wise , expanded from the American edition published in 1939 as "Forging Ahead ". Highly readable, well-illustrated and fascinating. From the blurb: "In spite of the fame he attained before the exposure of many of the pamphlets in his Ashley Library, Wise was largely a Mystery Man. Practically nothing was known of his early origins and career. He was just accepted by the world as a wealthy, fastidious, and able connoisseur who was the possessor of superb collections of rare books and manuscripts. This work supplies his biographical background. But it does much more. Apart from information given by Wise to him personally, the author has had exclusive use of private papers of well-known men with whom Wise formed associations. In the building-up of his rich library he made great scoops. His most wonderful was the acquisition of the mass of Swinburne's unpublished manuscripts; and the author's two chapters giving a first-hand account of the astonishing events at the poet's retreat 'The Pines' brings out intimate and hitherto unpublished stories of Swinburne. Nor are these the only biographical sidelights. Into the general picture the author - partly from his personal reminiscences and partly from new sources - works in anecdotes and glimpses of Joseph Conrad, Thomas Hardy, Edmund Gosse, Ruskin, the Pre-Raphaelites, Dr Furnival, Clement Shorter, and that little known but much abused worthy Richard Herne Shepherd; all of which throw reflective light on the main character of this forthright book." Errata slip tipped-in, Good in remains of badly torn dustwrapper.
