Skua is a wild, lonely island, visited mainly by bird-watchers and botanists. When Tim and his father are searching for a rare orchid, they scramble down a cliff to a cove. tim pokes around the rocks, and in a cave, looking for stones, and comes across one that he thinks must be a very large ruby. On their way home they pass a car bogged down in a ditch and give the driver a lift back to Skuaphort; they show him Tim's ruby. He pooh-pooh's the idea of a precious stone, but offers to take it and look it up in a book. Tim will not let heim - he wants to show it to Janey. That night Tim's father has a most suspicious accident... (Wrapper flap). 8" x 5", 160pp, pinkish-red cloth, gold blocked spine lettering, hardback.

It was their custom to take turns to ride it at top speed down the hill of the rue des Petits-Pauvres. Sometimes they crashed, sometimes not. Then strange things began to happen, and when a stranger offered them ten thousand francs for the horse, they were bothe impressed and suspicious. It disappeared, and the gang reported the matter to the police, but... a child's toy stolen? The police had more important things to spend their time on, and would not undertake to investigate this trivial crime. So the children tackled it themselves, and the scent led them into some fine exciting scenes in their wild country at the end of the Paris Metro line. (Blurb). Illustrated with monochrome drawings within the text by Richard Kennedy. Front cover split 1" a foot of the spine, spine sunned, slight page-edge browning, good reading copy.

Blackmore, R. D. - Lorna Doone. Sampson Low for Boots the Chemists, not dated, 1930s?. 10¼" x 7½", 530pp plus plates, blue art-silk with gold blocking, hardback. Illustrated with 16 colour edge-mounted (tipped-in) plates: 12 landscapes by Charles E. Brittan and 4 portraits from painting by Charles E. Brock. The last item in the List of Illustrations refers to a Portrait of Lorna Doone 'Front of Cover' which, I understand, means the dust-wrapper not the front-board; all copies I've ever seen have gold blocked titles on the front-board but I've never seen a wrapper belonging to this title. Spine and portions of boards sunned/dulled; edge-wear; slight endpaper browning; a number of pages were originally uncut and some of these have been pulled apart leaving chips and edge-tears; the lower edge of the half-title and frontispiece moung-page was (still is partially) uncut and this has been mostly torn open (see photo), this is by far the worst example of this, the others are nowhere near as bad; the odd fox spot(s); hinges weak; what appears to be a surplus spot of gule to the top-edge of the frontispiece; pages 478/479 slightly browned due to envelope being left between them; 1 corner of 3 plates slightly creased; good only, no wrapper; this is, actually, an average copy of this edition.
