1805Best.-Nr. 11760London: Tabart and Co. Good with no dust jacket. 1805. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Front & back covers are loose and the spine is missing. ; Note that this is five books bound as one. Wilkinson's first book is a first edition. "Visit to a Farm-House" is a second edition also dated 1805. "The Benevolent Widow" is a third edition. "Prince Lee Boo" is undated and page 31/32 is clipped.

1885Best.-Nr. 4622Anhée Wallonia, Belgium Abbaye de Maradsous 1885
1885Best.-Nr. 4622Anhée Wallonia Belgium: Abbaye de Maradsous 1885. First edition. Complete. A collection of 20 large albumen photographs laid onto backing card with description of each printed to the bottom edge showing the Abbaye de Maredsous and the Ecole Abbataile. These are held in a red clamshell box with black and gilt decoration crest and titles. The box has significant fading / spotting from damp but is still holding well and has done its job of protecting the photographs inside. The photographs are of high quality and show the building of the abbey and the new school there. They are dated by the fact that the school was founded in 1881 earliest date and that the the Abbey was completed in 1892 but in these images is still some way off completion. Interesting architectural prints but also of the students and staff at the school both being educated and relaxing. A very nice collection. Images are mostly 17cm x 24cm and backing cards are 25cm x 32cm. Box is 35cm x 27cm. Abbaye de Maradsous unknown

1950Best.-Nr. C1029781950. Paperback . Good. Anon Abishag n.d. Circa 1950 or late 1940s. subtitled ' A luscious tale of a successful physiological search after Rejuvenescence. Fully disclosing the secret of the only natural and true elixir capable of effecting such a desirable necessity.' In this ten page samizdat style 'Soho script' purporting to have been first published in 1884 the narrator an unnamed man past his middle age endeavours to prove that by copulating with a series of voluptuous young women he can stave off old age. He recalls that at thirty after six months of marriage he had become dissatisfied with his wife and had turned to 'futtering' their virginal maid Edith and assorted whores for sexual excitement. His wife anxious for sex plies him with aphrodisiacs but he yearns for Edith. After she leaves to get married he takes advantage of Polly the eighteen year old virgin they hire to assist the cook. The man discovers that only by copulating regularly with her can he continue to satisfy his wife. He decides to divulge his guilty secret to her and when Polly leaves she supplies him with a string of suitable girls. After five or six years of experimenting in this way he concludes that only warm and enthusiastic virgins or those who have had little ' commerce ' with men can keep him rampant. He ends his tale by advising all men whether single or married to avoid whores and seek out young virgins if they wish to preserve their sexual power. This is a narrative that caters to the male fantasy that young virgins always welcome sex with older married men. Its considerable erotic effect relies on explicit descriptions of such encounters which are always compared favourably to marital sex and sex with prostitutes which are seen to be equally cold experiences. The item. A typewritten carbon copy of ten foolscap leaves bound in a Giant Manilla folder from John Dickinson. The two original button-like devices used to bind the leaves to the folder are missing. Tears to spine of folder and to its edges. Slight staining to leaves which are loose. Some light wear; good only. paperback
