Taking the Stage: Twenty-One Years of the London Theatre by John Haynes

Taking the Stage: Twenty-One Years of the London Theatre by John Haynes hits the £1 shelf in my shop.

Thames & Hudson, 1986, Paperback.

First in this, paperback, edition. Illustrated by way of: Black & White Photographs;

From the cover: "When Shakespeare said it, it was true: 'These our actors… are melted into air, into thin air'. True no longer. In this book, we see how the theatre photographer can fix for us those special moments when we have been overwhelmed by the brilliance of the artists of the stage. John Haynes has been photographing plays, players and playwrights in London for over twenty years: he began as photographer-in-residence at the Royal Court, then worked at the National and the Royal Shakespeare Company, and widely throughout the West End and the Fringe. He has photographed almost every star — greater and lesser — in the astonishing galaxy of London theatre. Playwrights such as Osborne, Beckett, Pinter, Storey and Bond. Performers from Olivier and Ashcroft, Gielgud and Richardson, Scofield and Redgrave, to their shining successors: Albert Finney, Alan Bates, lan McKellen, Maggie Smith, Joan Plowright and Glenda Jackson… And scenes from over a hundred plays, from the classics to the most adventurous drama of today. This enthralling collection preserves the magic of productions and performances which make the London theatre the most exciting place of entertainment in the world."

Very Good. Gently rubbed at the edges of the spine and wrappers which are lightly scuffed. Text complete, clean and tight.

State of the Ark: An Atlas of Conservation in Action by Lee Durrell

State of the Ark: An Atlas of Conservation in Action by Lee Durrell hits the £1 shelf in my shop.

The Bodley Head, 1986, Hardback in dust wrapper.

Illustrated by way of: Black & White Photographs; Colour Photographs; Black & White Drawings; Colour Drawings; Maps; Tables;

From the cover: "If Noah were alive today, he would perceive a new deluge approaching — an extinguishing flood of human overpopulation, overconsumption and environmental abuse on a catastrophic scale. And his concern would be for more than the "animals two by two" saved in his first Ark. The modern Noah fears for the whole natural world — the wild places and wild creatures, insects, plants and microbes, the very soil and air and climate on which we depend -and understands that the vital fabric of this world is, itself, the Ark which carries all living things.

The last 25 years have seen a huge upsurge of popular awareness and activity in defence of this living Ark. Conservation, in its broadest sense, has become the central issue of our times. Today, Noah has an army of millions to call under the global banner of The World Conservation Strategy.

The State of the Ark addresses this powerful theme. Lee Durrell's clear and illuminating text weaves between a series of stunning pictorial maps and moving case stories of conservation success and failures around the world. The atlas maps and describes its subject in five major chapters: The State of the Ark; The State of the Wild; The State of Species; The State of the Regions; and Noah's Army.

It is compulsive reading, and an essential source of information for all who are concerned with the state of the natural world today, and the race against time to save what we can for future generations."

The Edge Of Being by Stephen Spender

The Edge Of Being by Stephen Spender hits the £1 shelf in my shop.

Faber & Faber, 1949, Hardback in dust wrapper.

From the cover: "When we brought out Mr. Spender's Poems of Dedication two years ago, we wrote: 'This is Mr. Spender's first volume of poems in five years. It represents only a part of his work during that time, but a part which forms a unity by itself and which must therefore appear as a volume by itself'.

During these two years, Mr. Spender, in addition to his other activities, has spent much time lecturing in America, and his output has been small. But we think that this more varied selection which he has made, of poems of the same period and later than Poems of Dedication, will fully support his reputation and satisfy his admirers."

Good — in Good Dust Wrapper. Unlaminated dust wrapper a little edgeworn and faded with loss at the spine ends and corners. Previous owners' inscription to the first blank. Pages lightly age-tanned. Hinges starting at page 49.

England: A Concise History by F. E. [Frank Ernest] Halliday

England: A Concise History by F. E. [Frank Ernest] Halliday hits the £1 shelf in my shop.

Thames & Hudson, 1999, Paperback.

2nd printing, 2nd (revised) edition. [First Published: 1989] Illustrated by way of: Black & White Photographs; Facsimiles; Black & White Drawings; Maps; Previously published as: A Concise History of England from Stonehenge to the Atomic Age.

From the cover: "Widely praised when it first appeared, England: A Concise History is a superbly illustrated volume which presents the history of England in a form short enough to be grasped — and seen — as a whole. The author emphasizes the achievements and constructive features of English history — above all, the evolution of democratic institutions and the creation of a social order strengthened by extensions of liberty, tolerance and freedom of speech.

He clearly identifies his central theme: the successful reconciliation of order and liberty in English life and society. Stonehenge, the Norman Conquest, Magna Carta, the Wars of the Roses, the Spanish Armada, the Civil Wars, the 'Year of Victories', Nelson and Trafalgar, Churchill, Thatcher — here are the key-events, places and personalities of English history, brought together in the perfect introduction to a fascinating subject."

Very Good.

240 pages. Index. Bibliography. 9" x 7".
