A Country Still All Mystery, A Wild Tumultory Library, Sphinxes and Obelisks

Three volumes: Ninety-six essays on writers and themes, residents of the darker corners and baskets of secondhand bookshops, as well as the author's accounts and methods – 'always look at the pamphlets' – of his forays to outlying bookshops; the range of his enthusiasms - 'Cricket in Babylon', 'Some Books on Tea Cup Reading', 'The Club of Bad Books', 'Dandies of the Thirties' - is contagious and his net for authors, books and categories is generous; each volume published in an edition of 350 copies, 'A Wild Tumultory Library' and 'A Country Still a Mystery' are both signed by the author.
