‎David Abbott - RARE SIGNED FIRST PRINTING‎

‎The Upright Piano Player - BBC SELECTED OUTSTANDING FIRST NOVEL‎

‎Mclehose Press Quercus London 2010 SIGNED & DATED on the 8th April in London. A first novel of huge quality with great praise from Justin Cartwright and others. This meant that first printings rapidly disappeared and this superbly written novel went into several hardback printings. THIS IS A FIRST PRINTING NOW RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER in this pristine state. The author has signed the book on the title page. Worthy of a prize or two anyone reading this must end it hoping the author will be getting his next work ready. It has a sinuous and elegant prose style and the characters involve the reader at several levels. Very hard to find in an unread signed first this has been carefully stored and the perfect new jacket is sleeved in mylar. One of the finest first novels of the last few years I look forward to the author's next work. PUBLISHER RELEASE: "Henry Cage seemed to have it all. A successful business career considerable wealth and a reputation for being a just and principled man. But public virtues can conceal private failings and as Hen! ry faces retirement his well-ordered life begins to unravel. On the eve of the new millennium he is the victim of a random act of violence which soon escalates into a prolonged persecution with tragic consequences. Family secrets are revealed and when his ex-wife Nessa summons Henry to Palm Beach he realises that there is little time to redress the mistakes of the past. The Upright Piano Player explores with a tender yet unflinching eye the small but devastating flaws in human nature that can shape our destinies."

‎ANNE HIGONNET - FIRST PRINTING‎

‎Lewis Carroll - BRILLIANT PHOTOGRAPHY SELECTION‎

‎Phaidon London 2008 A man of many talents Lewis Carroll 1832-1898 the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was a distinguished Professor of Mathematics at Christ Church College Oxford and a successful author of children's books. But long before he published the famous Alice's Adventures in Wonderland story Carroll was a fine and accomplished photographer. Most famous for his exceptional photographs of children which include portraits of Alice Liddell the inspiration behind his classic book. Carroll compiled his photographs into albums and send them to major cultural figures in Victorian society in the hope that they might want similar portraits of themselves or their children.His photographs thus include sitters such as the family of the Pre-Raphaelite painter and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti John Everett Millais and Alfred Lord Tennyson amongst others. His work also features portraits of close family and friends as well as landscapes and still lifes demonstrating the remarkable extent and complexity of Carroll's photographic art. His work has become embedded deeply in modern culture influencing many artists and his photographs have seen a recent resurgence in popularity demonstrating their importance to the history of photography. Carroll is now considered one of the greatest Victorian photographers. Anne Higonnet's perceptive discussion of Carroll as a photographer and as a prominent member of Victorian society offers fresh insight into his relationships with his sitters in the light of social conventions of the time and emphasises Carroll's dreamlike vision of childhood. This beautiful book echoes the albums Carroll sent out by clipping the corners of the pages as he did. This first printing is a brilliant presentation of some significant Victorian photography.
