Walking the Dales by Mike Harding

Walking the Dales by Mike Harding hits the £1 shelf in my shop.

Michael Joseph, 1986, Hardback in dust wrapper.

Illustrated by way of: Colour Photographs; Maps;

From the cover: "When Mike Harding was fourteen, he set off with a friend for a bicycling holiday 'in a sort of northerly direction out of Manchester'. During the next fortnight, he fell under the spell of the Yorkshire Dales and its dazzling scenery.

Walking the Dales is not a guide book. It's first and last a book about Mike Harding's love for the high fells and the rivered valleys, and the marvellous Dales people. Since walking is, to Mike, the best way of getting to know anywhere, this is the story of many different walks he has made and photographed over the last fifteen years.

All the famous names are there — Pen-y-ghent, Great Shunner Fell and Swaledale; but also a number of walks that are less well known — Baugh Fell and Garsdale, Ease Gill and Mallerstang. There is a little history, conversations with people he meets on the way and any number of quirky Hardingesque asides. The text is complemented by his own superb photographs — angry skies over Dentdale, the gypsies on their way to Appleby Fair, a derelict mine shaft or a lonely church. This is a book for everyone who loves the British countryside in all her moods."

The Royal Family: A Year by Year Chronicle of the House of Windsor by Edited by Duncan Hill, Alison Gauntlett, Sarah Rickayzen & Gareth Thomas

The Royal Family: A Year by Year Chronicle of the House of Windsor by Edited by Duncan Hill, Alison Gauntlett, Sarah Rickayzen & Gareth Thomas hits the £1 shelf in my shop.

Parragon, 2007, Hardback in dust wrapper.

Illustrated by way of: Black & White Photographs; Colour Photograhs; Illustrated endpapers and blanks;

From the cover: "During the twentieth century, the House of Windsor has had its share of difficulties — the abdication crisis of 1936, the very public break-up of the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales and the death of Diana in 1997 were all dark days for the monarchy. But there has also been much to celebrate — the birth of seven grandchildren to the Queen; the celebration of her Silver and Golden Wedding Anniversaries with the Duke of Edinburgh; and most recently the Queen's Golden Jubilee of 2002.

The Royal Family has never before been so accessible: modern technology has allowed the public to follow the lives of the Queen and her family much more closely. Media and public fascination has grown to unprecedented levels over the last three decades; the House of Windsor has had to adapt to being in the public gaze, and accept that the days of unquestioning reverence are long gone. Despite this, the Royal Family is held in high regard by Britons and throughout the world, acting as a focus for national identity, unity and pride, and giving an enduring sense of stability and continuity to many."

The Ultimate Golfer: A Complete Step-by-Step Teaching Course from Getting Started to Achieving Excellence, Plus the Great Players, Courses and Championsips by Ian Morrison & Richard Bradbeer

The Ultimate Golfer: A Complete Step-by-Step Teaching Course from Getting Started to Achieving Excellence, Plus the Great Players, Courses and Championsips by Ian Morrison & Richard Bradbeer hits the £1 shelf in my shop.

Acropolis Books, 1993, Hardback in dust wrapper.

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

From the cover: "Over the last century golf has evolved from an idle pastime of the rich and privileged into an international professional sport, played and followed by millions. Great champions of the past decades — Nicklaus, Palmer and Player — have become household names, while contemporary stars such as Ballesteros, Faldo and Fred Couples are instantly recognized anywhere on the globe from their television appearances. Every day a new course opens somewhere in the world, and thousands of fresh players take up the sport every year. The Ultimate Golfer is designed to be the ideal introductory reference book for those who have just fallen under the game's spell, and the perfect advance teaching course, instruction manual and problem solver for more experienced players.

Illustrated with over four hundred step-by-step photographs of one of the world's leading teachers, the first two-thirds of the book is devoted to professional guidance on equipment selection, the grip, stance and alignment, and to detailed coaching in putting, pitching and chipping. There are additional chapters on overcoming hazards and on common errors, and this practical section is enhanced throughout by features on the top professionals.

The last third of the book is a delightful armchair journey through the sport's rich history, including biographies of the great champions, descriptions of the finest and most famous courses, and accounts of the major championships from their origin to the present day.

Comprehensively covering every element of the sport from starting out to achieving excellence, and designed for those who love the game and want to play it and understand it better, The Ultimate Golfer is the only book the truly obsessed golf fan will ever need."

Very Good — in Good Dust Wrapper. A little rubbing to the edges of the dust wrapper with some short but untidy nicks at the spine and corners. Previous owners' inscription to the first blank. Text complete, clean and tight.

Pictorial boards.

Sunday, 6 January 2008

Nice start to the year...

Had a replacement for one of credit cards arrive yesterday, so thought I might activate the mighty beast.

Quick phone call, job done. Or, not. It appears that I have now joined the ranks of the scammed, spammed and ripped off... yep, someone got the card details (a card I use only at one place, PayPal!) and decided to test the credit limit.

First, a £1.49 at iTunes... and then, in like Flynn, £2600 at dabs.com... of course, I did wonder if I had bought that plasma TV I want in my sleep but apparently not... that'll please the wife of course!

Luckily, no harm done as the card company (Alliance & Leicester) had spotted the trend and cancelled the transaction. What I don't understand is how, or where, the details were nicked. I haven't had a physical card for this account for over a year - registered at PayPal for occasional business purchases only. Odd, very.

Ahh, the world's a better place thanks to the interweb.

Some bargain books for you all...

Please find below this week's list of bargain books - you can order these directly from the website (which is now working correctly I promise!) or by dropping me a note by email. There are no free books this week as I've not had the time to do any stock taking. This coming week I promise!

I display around 500 secondhand books in the Post Office, here in Peasedown St. John. Each week I replace between 80 and 100 of them with fresh books - those removed are then repriced (upwards!) and put on my web sites.

Each week I will make available a small list of books that you can get at my shop prices (typically half what I will advertise them for in the future) by buying here.

I try and price all these books below other internet venues - not a practice I endorse or apply anywhere else to be honest - I do this so that people who visit the shop can be sure of getting a bit of a bargain even if the range is limited.

You can pay by cheque, Postal Order and PayPal only on these books - please indicate at time of order.
