Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. London. Bloomsbury Circus/Bloomsbury Publishing plc. 2020. First Edition/First Printing (1 included in full number line on copyright page). Hard Cover. Demy 8vo, 8¾" x 5½" [22 x 14 cm] approx. 314 pp. Black boards with metallic turquoise titles and borders to the spine. Illustrated endpapers. Flat signed by the author without dedication to the title page. London, 1938. Alma Fielding, an ordinary young woman, begins to experience supernatural events in her suburban home. Nandor Fodor - a Jewish-Hungarian refugee and chief ghost hunter for the International Institute for Psychical research - begins to investigate. In doing so he discovers a different and darker type of haunting: trauma, alienation, loss - and the foreshadowing of a nation's worst fears. As the spectre of Fascism lengthens over Europe, and as Fodor's obsession with the case deepens, Alma becomes ever more disturbed. With rigour, daring and insight, the award-winning pioneer of historical narrative non-fiction Kate Summerscale shadows Fodor's enquiry, delving into long-hidden archives to find the human story behind a very modern haunting.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Greg Heinimann (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression with full number line. Some very slight edge wear to top of jacket and spine, top corners slightly bruised, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 272pp. At twenty three, after leaving graduate school to pursue her dreams of becoming a poet, Joanna Rakoff moves to New York City and takes a job as assistant to the literary agent for J. D. Salinger. She spends her days in the plush, wood panelled agency, where Dictaphones and typewriters still reign and old time agents doze at their desks after martini lunches, and at night she goes home to the tiny, threadbare Brooklyn apartment she shares with her socialist boyfriend. Precariously balanced between glamour and poverty, surrounded by titanic personalities and struggling to trust her own artistic sense, Joanna is given the task of answering Salinger's voluminous fan mail. But as she reads the candid heart wrenching letters from his readers around the world, she finds herself unable to type out the agency's decades old form response. Instead, drawn inexorably into the emotional world of Salinger's devotees, she abandons the template and begins writing back. Poignant, keenly observed and irresistibly funny, 'My Salinger Year' is a memoir about literary New York in the late 1990s, a pre digital world on the cusp of vanishing, where a young woman finds herself swept into one of the last great stories and entangled with one of the last great figures of the century. Above all, it is the coming of age story of a talented writer and a testament to the universal power of books to shape our lives.

Mudlark (/'mAdla;k/) noun A person who scavenges for usable debris in the mud of a river or harbour. Lara Maiklem has scoured the banks of the Thames for over fifteen years, in pursuit of the objects that the river unearths, from Neolithic flints to Roman hair pins, medieval buckles to Tudor buttons, Georgian clay pipes to Victorian toys. These objects tell her about London and its lost ways of life. Moving from the river's tidal origins in the west of the city to the point where it meets the sea in the east 'Mudlarking' is a search for urban solitude and history on the River Thames, which Lara calls the longest archaeological site in England. As she has discovered, it is often the tiniest objects that tell the greatest stories. Beautifully written, a future classic.

John Lock has come to India to meet his destiny, a destiny dressed in a white karate suit and sporting an impressive moustache. He has fled the quiet desperation of his life in England, decades wasted in a meaningless job, a marriage foundering in the wake of loss and a terrible secret he cannot bear to share with his wife. He has come to offer his help to a man who has learned to conquer pain, a world record breaker who specialises in feats of extreme endurance and ill advised masochism. Bibhuti Nayak's next record attempt, to have fifty baseball bats broken over his body, will set the seal on a career that has seen him rise from poverty to become a minor celebrity in a nation where standing out from the crowd requires tenacity, courage and perhaps a touch of madness. In answering Bibhuti's call for assistance, John hopes to rewrite a brave end to a life poorly lived. ut as they take their leap of faith together, and John is welcomed into Bibhuti's family, and into the colour and chaos of Mumbai, where he encounters ping pong playing monks, a fearless seven year old martial arts warrior and an old man longing for the monsoon to wash him away he learns more about life, and death, and everything in between than he could ever have bargained for.
