Listed below is my current

difficult to categorize some titles, which
overlap different subjects; in these cases, the
easiest procedure would be use the search box,
which covers my entire stock. However, if
searching for a particular title on this page
only, the simplest method is to use "Control-F"

have described the books as accurately as

particular item is inadvertently not as

foxing and the paper has tanned with age.
The foxing is heaviest on the end-papers,
preliminaries and first and last few pages
but does wear off in the actual text where
it is mainly confined to the margins. The
edge of the text block is dust-stained and
heavily foxed. The rear inner hinge is
cracked.

The Holy City : Athens

London : Marshall
Brothers, 1902
5½" x 9". [xv] + 446pp,
illustrations. Original pictorial red cloth
gilt with bevelled edges (top edge gilt).
The covers are rubbed and scuffed with a few
shallow scratches, but still reasonably
bright. The spine has faded noticeably with
marked loss of colour and has a slightly
mottled appearance. There is a small snag
in the centre of the front spine gutter. The
spine ends and corners are heavily bumped
with some minor splitting of the cloth.
There are some indentations along the edges
of the boards. There is a pencilled noted
opposite the Half-Title page: "From the
Author 30 July 1902" though it is
impossible to determine whether this is the
Author's hand or that of the recipient. The
front and rear end-papers and preliminaries
are very heavily foxed. The edge of the
text block is also heavily foxed with the
foxing extending into the margins. The text,
in general, is not affected though the
exception is those pages adjacent to the
illustrations, where the text is also foxed.
A number of pages remain unopened, so a good
paper-knife will be required for the study
of the complete text

Cooper, Clayton
Sedgwick
The Man of Egypt
London: Hodder &
Stoughton, 1913
5¼” x 8”. [xvi] +300pp,
frontispiece, illustrations. Original
decorative cloth. There are two large
patches of damp-staining, one each to the
front and rear boards. Where this has
happened, there is total loss of original
colour. There are also remnants of an old
paper label on the front cover. The head of
the spine is snagged with a half-inch tear
in the cloth. The spine ends and corners are
bumped. The damp-staining to the covers has
affected the first few, and, particularly,
the last twenty pages, which are also
stained. This is doubly unfortunate as,
apart from these pages, the text and
illustrations are very clean though the
paper has tanned with age.

Ghost Train Through The

309pp, maps, illustrations. Red cloth gilt
in a scuffed and rubbed d/j, otherwise Near
Fine. It was not until long after his
grandmother, Sophie, had died, that Michael
Jacobs was eventually permitted to read the
lengthy and passionate letters that his
grandfather Bethel had written her from nine
thousand miles away. In these letters,
Jacobs discovered a remarkable story of
hardship, deprivation and enduring love. His
grandfather's work on the railway through
the Andes was exhausting and desperately
lonely. He had little in common with his
fellow workers and became consumed by a
mounting despondency, from which only his
love for Sophie could save him. But, as the
months and years of separation passed, the
world in which Sophie was blossoming
appeared more and more remote from his own.
Michael Jacobs' journey back through time
takes him from a rain-swept Hull churchyard
to desolate Antofagasta in Chile and to the
former silver capital of Potosi. Climbing
through ghostly, lunar-like scenery towards
the snow-capped summits of the Andes, he
follows the route of his grandfather's
railway - across giant rocky plateaux,
through terrifyingly steep gorges and
valleys of tropical lushness, and past grim
mining townships buffeted by winds, rain and
snow - to reveal an extraordinary love
story.

Shah, Tahir
In Search of King
Solomon's Mines
London: John Murray,
2002
6" x 9½". 240pp,
illustrations, map. Red cloth in d/j, As
New. King Solomon, the Bible's wisest king,
also possessed extraordinary wealth. He
built a temple at Jerusalem that was said
to be more fabulous than any other landmark
in the ancient world, heavily adorned with
gold from Ophir. The precise location of
this legendary land has been one of
history's great unsolved mysteries. Long
before Rider Haggard's classic adventure
novel King Solomon's Mines produced a fresh
outbreak of gold fever, explorers,
scientists and theologians had scoured the
world for the source of the king's
astonishing wealth. Tahir Shah takes up the
quest, using as his leads a mixture of
texts including the Septuagint, the
earliest form of the Bible, as well as
geological, geographical and folkloric
sources. Time and again the evidence points
towards Ethiopia, the ancient kingdom in
the horn of Africa whose imperial family
claims descent from Menelik, the son born to
Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. Tahir Shah's
trail takes him to a remote cliff-face
monastery where the monks pull visitors up
on a leather rope, to the ruined castles of
Gondar, and to the churches of Lalibela,
hewn from solid rock. In the south, he
discovers an enormous illegal gold mine
where thousands of men, women and children
dig with their hands. But the hardest leg of
the journey is to the accursed mountain of
Tullu Wallel, where legend says there lies
an ancient shaft, once the entrance of King
Solomon's mines.
