[Signed] [First Edition] Off 13: The Eastern Shore of Virginia Guidebook [VINTAGE 1987] [SIGNED FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING] Mariner, Kirk
90.18 CAD
Fine unread condition glossy illustrated softcover wraps. Includes Index. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings and maps. Signed and inscribed by the author, Kirk Mariner, with blue pen at the upper section of the title page. "It's not surprising that the Eastern Shore of Virginia remains largely undiscovered by tourists: it is often even left off the map! Two isolated Virginia counties unconnected to the rest of the state, the Virginia Eastern Shore is a quiet little slice of countryside wedged between ocean and bay, dotted with small villages, generously endowed with history. The water is never far away here, and the pace of life is noticeably easier. This guidebook takes you to virtually every corner of a part of the state that even most virginians have never visited: Chincoteague Island, famous for its ponies and a fine ocean beach; remote Tangier, where the streets are too small for automobiels; historic Accomac, with its beautifully preserved old buildings and homes; and many even smaller and more out-of-the-way places like Oyster and Cherrystone, Pungoteague and Wachapreague, Franktown and Horntown and Modest Town. And islands as diverse as Wallops, from which rockets blast off into outer space, and uninhabited Cobb, for which you'll need your own boat. No need to worry about where to eat or lodge when visiting places like greater downtown Eastville (population 230) or the giant metropolis of Onancock (population 1700). You'll probably be surprised at the variety of what the Virginia Eastern Shore has to offer, and pleased at the prices. And this guidebook lists all the possibilities." - from the rear outer cover.

[First Edition] Culture and Power in the Reconstitution of the Chinese Realm, 200-600 Scott Pearce; Audrey Spiro; Patricia Ebrey (eds) [Used - Fine]
100.18 CAD
First Printing, 2001. 374 pages. Book measures 6.25 x 9.25 inches. Harvard East Asian Monographs, 200. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. A clean tight copy. "The period between the fall of the Han in 220 and the reunification of the Chinese realm in the late sixth century receives short shrift in most accounts of Chinese history. The period is characterized as one of disorder and dislocation, ethnic strife, and bloody court struggles. Its lone achievement, according to many accounts, is the introduction of Buddhism. In the eight essays of Culture and Power in the Reconstitution of the Chinese Realm, 200-600, the authors seek to chart the actual changes occurring in this period of disunion, and to show its relationship to what preceded and followed it. This exploration of a neglected period in Chinese history addresses such diverse subjects as the era's economy, Daoism, Buddhist art, civil service examinations, forays into literary theory, and responses to its own history."

[First Edition] THE LOWLANDS OF SCOTLAND (First edition in a complete pre-war dustwrapper) George Scott-Moncrieff [Used - Very good] [Hardcover]
139.4 CAD
First printing of the true first edition, published just before the Second World War in 1939. Illustrated throughout with monochrome photographs, and with a beautiful wraparound dustwrapper illustration by Brian Cook. Published in Batsford's notable 'The Face of Britain' series. ***Very good in pale-blue cloth-covered boards with dark-blue titles and rules to the spine and front board. The boards are clean and unfaded - just showing some light marks and rubbing commensurate with age and handling. Some light browning to the edges in places. Head and tail of spine slightly creased, but no serious bumps or creasing. Corners sharp. Top edge of the page block stained blue to match the boards by the publisher - now faded. All page block edges lightly foxed. There is a slight reading lean to the binding, but the spine is tight, with no loose pages. Internally also very good with no previous ownership inscriptions - just a small contemporary bookseller's label at the bottom of the front endpaper. Map endpapers showing North East Lowlands at the front and South Lowlands at the back. Some offsetting and foxing to the endpapers, and particularly to the first few pages. Interior pages clean. No internal creases or tears. Very thick quality paper used, which was much thinner in later post-war printings of the book. ***In a very good colour illustrated dustwrapper, with the beautiful wraparound illustration by Brian Cook. The dustwrapper has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 8s. 6d. net at the top corner of the front flap. The dustwrapper is virtually complete, with just some loss at the top of the spine - not affecting the lettering. Some light edge-wear and rubbing to the edges, and a little browning to the spine. No significant tears. Some creasing to the top edges of the large foldover flaps, but no other creasing. ***216mm x 145mm. viii prelim pages plus 120 pages including a four-page Index at the back of the book. ***Contents: Forward, Acknowledgment, Chapter I. Galloway, II. The Border, III. Lothian, IV. The Middle West, V. Fife, Angus, and the Mearns, VI. The North-east, Index. ***'If the Lowlands may be described as "the norm of Scotland" they are certainly a norm of quite exceptional interest and charm. --- Mr. George Scott-Moncrieff himself lives in the Lowlands, and he knows the country as well as any man alive. His book is at once a penetrating and sympathetic study of everything that is most individual and permanent in land and people, and, so far as the 115 brilliant photographic illustrations go, an objective picture of them.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***'George Irving Scott-Moncrieff (9 April 1910 - 11 March 1974) was a Scottish novelist, playwright, poet, journalist, editor, and author of several well-known books on Scotland.' ***'Batsford was founded in 1843 by Bradley Thomas Batsford.
