E. L. Campbell Two for a Penny: a Post-war Childhood
Twickenham Athena Press 2005 1844015017 / 9781844015016 First Large Soft Cover New Fiction 8" x 5" By the Author
209 pages. This is a new book in fine condition, signed by the author. "From his birth in May, 1945, Tommy Calvert's young life is shadowed by events of momentous historical significance taking place in the world around him, but it is the smaller scale, personal histories of Tommy and his friends which hold us spellbound in this beautifully evocative book. A cictorious assent of Pendle Hill, the purchasing of a television set and an FA Cup Final trip may not go down in te history books with the defeat of Nazi Germany or the death of King George VI, but these anecdotes bear witness to a changing world as the memories of a time gone by, and they cannot but make you smile. Like Tommy in the book, the author was born on Merseyside and brought up in Nelson in the immediate post-war years. He is now a retired Headteacher, married with one grown-up daughter, and still lives in East Lancashire, having spent several years abroad earlier in his career."

Janet Jones Woman : Her Own Worst Enemy
Trinidad and Tobago 1987 Second Edition Hard Cover Very Good Women's Studies Malcolm Malo Matthews Signed by Author
This 61 page hard backed book has been written based on the author's own impressions she believes have affected and afflicted ( and still do affect and afflict ) the Trinidad and Tobago woman , the Caribbean woman , the West Indian woman and woman in other countries all over the world. While the opinions in this book are the authors own , as a woman she does not pretend , but feels more at ease by allowing the woman to see herself in the given society , how they performed over a period of time , how she was and is able to overcome during a period of time. What in fact did happen to her ; where , how and why did it happen.Who or what caused her suffering , embarrassment , humiliation and shame and why. ---- In this book the author has listed her own impressions in alphabetical order and the topics covered are for discussion and debate or personal reading. ----- This may have been the author's own book as her signature is across the corner of the inner front board, and dated in the style of someone who owns a book , rather than on the title page. --- Dark breen boards with mother and daughter drawn in silhouette form by artist Malcolm 'Malo ' Matthews - ( it says - well-known artist and sign-painter ) The original price seems to be in pencil of £28.75 but I could not find another copy for comparison.

Binding is dark blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine; 376 pages. Signed by author on title page. Dj now protected inside a mylar cover. In the great age of fighting sail, life ranging the seas for prey and prize money in the crack frigate HMS Artemis is fast and exciting. It is also a world away from the harsh experience of a man pressed aboartd the old ship-of-the-line Duke William that was wig-maker Thomas Paine Kydd's brutal introduction to the sea. Now a true Jack Tar, Kydd sails into Portsmouth Harbour and a hero's welcome after a ferocious battle against the French. However his jubilation is cut short when a family matter threatens to take him from the life he has grown to love; he must return to Guildford. But the sea beckons irresistibly and Kydd manages to ship out again in his beloved Artemis - a voyage that will take him to the fabled East and present him with fierce challenges, both personal and physical. Finally homeward bound, he faces death itself in the cruel waters of the Great Southern Ocean. Artemis is based on dramatic real events and is classic storytelling at its very best - fast-paced and filled with exceptional characters.
