FREEMAN (Arthur & Janet Ing)
Anatomy of an Auction: Rare Books at Ruxley Lodge, 1919.
First edition, viii, 169, [1]pp., frontis., orig. cloth, d.w. The dispersal of the Foley family library in October 1919 was notable for the richness of the books sold - and for the general inadequacy of the prices they fetched. Drawing on records kept by principal participants in the sale and in the four subsequent "knock-outs", the Freemans reveal the intricacies of a practice whose workings have not previously been subject to such detailed and informed scrutiny.

G. Declercq (ed.)
Early Medieval Palimpsests
Paperback, VI+155 p., 210 x 270 mm. ISBN 9782503524801. Palimpsests are texts from which the primary text has been effaced to make room for fresh writing. The practice was particularly important in the early Middle Ages, when numerous, often precious, books were subjected to this treatment. As a result, many ancient texts lay hidden in European libraries for centuries. Ever since the first palimpsests were discovered in the seventeenth century, scholars have been fascinated by the possibility of discovering hitherto unknown texts. For a long time, the lower script of palimpsests could only be brought back to the light of day through the use of chemical reagents that proved very detrimental to the manuscripts. The great advance away from these destructive techniques came at the beginning of the twentieth century with the application of ultra-violet photography. Today, striking advances in this field are again being made with the development of digital imaging. The contributions in this volume focus mainly on the cultural evidence offered by palimpsests from the early Middle Ages. Some contributors have examined particular manuscripts in great detail (the London palimpsest of Jerome's Chronicle or the Munich palimpsest codex from Benediktbeuern); others have looked at specific types of texts that have suffered deletion in this way (liturgical palimpsests, Carolingian letters). The volume also contains a handlist of all known palimpsested manuscripts in Beneventan script. Languages: English.

Garson, Barbara
Money Makes the World Go Around : One Investor Tracks Her Cash Through the Global Economy, from Brooklyn to Bangkog and Back
342 pages including index. Author set out to discover the extent to which each of us is affected by the free flow of capital around a world without barriers? The result is this hilarious and instructive gallop through international finance. Few of the people she meets know or care about capital flows, but by the time the tour is over, the mechanisms of global finance are no longer obsure or abstract. Part detective story, part business report, this is a primer on today's dizzying economic dynamic and a surprising account of modern life. Unread. Clean and unmarked with faint signs of handling.
