Lynch, EPF & Davies, Will (ed)
SOMME MUD The War Experiences of an Infantryman in France 1916-1919
Random House 2006 Edward Francis Lynch was a private in the First Australian Imperial Force who saw action in World War I on the Western Front between 1916 and 1919. Following his return to Australia he wrote about his war experiences in the 1920s and 1930s filling twenty exercise books. The work was eventually published in 2006 as a book entitled Somme Mud. The book's editor military historian Will Davies asserts that the "Nulla" character is based upon Lynch himself and that Lynch used the device to try to distance himself from the story. review >>> Somme Mud is Australia's version of All Quiet on the Western Front. Told with dignity candour and surprising wit it is a testament to the power of the human spirit a moving true story of humanity and friendship. Short gift inscription 345pp & just a shade over the 500g mark for post - maybe buy another and use up that extra post. Random House paperback

Crumb, Robert
The Sweeter Side of R Crumb
MQ 2006 The Sweeter Side of R Crumb is just that. Away with his 'reputation' this book illuminates a side that few see. The pages are filled with diverse images from musical legends to landscapes to self portraits. The beauty of the images lies not in their execution necessarily but rather the stories behind them. Some commentary describes the significance of the art while other images do not need any editorial letting the art or the dialogue carry it. review >>> A wonderfulbut different addition for your Crumb collection. unpaginated but about 120 all crispy white approx 900g packed for post MQ hardcover

London: Laurence King 2001 Will Allen Alsop OBE RA born 12 December 1947 is a British architect based in London. He is responsible for several distinctive and controversial modernist buildings most in the United Kingdom. Alsop's buildings are usually distinguished by their use of bright colour and unusual forms. He is according to an April 2007 article in The Observer "obviously not a man familiar with gyms" Will Alsop is one of the most exciting British architects working today responsible for such striking often colourful buildings as Le Grand Bleu in Marseilles the Ferry Terminal in Hamburg and more recently the Sterling Prize-winning Peckham Library in south London. This the first of two volumes on Alsop's work examines not only his architecture but also his distinctive creative process. Rarely for an architect his first development of a new project is through paintings.

Abraham Franzblau (intro) PS By Prof. Etiemble
Erotic Art of China
NY: Crown Publishers Inc. 1977 160pp clean white well-bound pp review > This book collects over fifty erotic images from the time of China's Ming dynasty. Although stylistically similar they cover many moments between man and woman or man and women or woman and herself . Some images depict the initial pursuit but most depict sexual activity of one kind or another. In addition to their innate charm these pictures also present cultural differences that I find appealing. Rendering of figures is much less literal than in Western art and less dramatic than in Japanese shunga. Male and female figures differ little except in hair styles genitals and the women's bound feet. Compared to Western exaggerations of figure it leaves an impression that I enjoy but can't put into words. approx 1 kg packed for post Crown Publishers Inc. hardcover

Conrad, Peter
Down Home Revisiting Tasmania
UK: Chatto & Windus 1988 Down Home - Revisiting Tasmania by Peter Conrad published by Chatto and Windus London in 1988 is an evocative and beautifully written autobiography. Every generation since 1804 has produced autobiographical accounts from literati travellers artists politicians convicts sailors scientists and many others of their experience as emigre transportee or "native-born" to Tasmania. In recent decades one publication in particular created world-wide interest: Peter Conrad's Down Home: Revisiting Tasmania Chatto & Windus 1988 which was republished in the United States with the title Behind The Mountain: Return to Tasmania Poseidon 1989. Hal Porter's The Tilted Cross and Peter Conrad's Down Home both portray Tasmania as a hellish outpost at the end of the earth a cursed and morally tainted place from which those who can escape do so as quickly as possible. While one is a convict novel set in the 1840s and the other is an autobiography set in the 1950s and 60s both contribute to the long tradition of condemning Tasmania in a fulsome and rhetorically extravagant manner. 230 clean well bound pp Chatto & Windus hardcover
