From the rear cover: Armed and Outrageous - When the Raging grannies sprang into being in 1987 in Victoria, B.C., they didn't plan to start a worldwide movement; they just wanted to protest - but in a different way. And they do. Armed with catchy, Hilarious songs, the Grannies have taken on a host of issues, from nuclear-armed ships to war toys, and challenged every level of government from municipal councils to the American presidency. For their messages of peace and justice, Grannies have been hosed by the U.S. Navy, arrested, jailed and pepper-sprayed.

Toward the Morning: Book + Ephemera Allen, Hervey
New York Rinehart & Co., Inc. 1948 First Edition, First Printing Hardcover Very Good Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Wyeth, Andrew
First Edition, First Printing. This presentation copy, a first edition with the publisher's colophon, is unique in several ways: pasted on the reverse of the frontispiece - a painting by Andrew Wyeth - is a presentation slip from Rinehart & Company, Inc., Stanley M. Rinehart, Jr., Frederick R. Rinehart, and Hervey Allen. Pasted on the half-title page is a letter from Rinehart & Company to screenwriter Garnett Weston ("Pony Soldier," "Bulldog Drummond," "The Great Train Robbery") dated 25th January 1950. The letter says the publisher does not yet know if the fourth book in Allen's series The Disinherited will be published. Allen had died a month earlier in Florida. Toward the Morning is the third of what was to be a five-volume saga, a pentalogy, spread across the formative years of the Unites States. Allen was previously best known as the author of Anthony Adverse, a novel in three trilogies (nine books in all), which topped the U.S. best seller lists in both 1933 and 1934. The previous owner (assumed Garnett Weston) has pasted on the front and rear endpages and the reverse of the half-title page coloured paintings and description from a January 1951 pamphlet featuring Hervey Allen's 'The City in the Dawn.' This copy of Toward the Morning, in pale tan linen-covered boards with blue lettering on front and spine and a blind engraving on front entitled The Disinherited; vi+458 pp.; very slight bumping at spine ends, four pencil point spots in front outside hinge, six similar in rear hinge and a half-cm/one-quarter-inch spot on rear; ink stain on bottom edge of final 63 pp. does not affect text; dust jacket, price intact and now protected in archival quality brodart, bears a duplicate of the Andrew Wyeth frontispiece; dj has neatly mended edge wear and chipping around the spine ends and points; spine panel is faded.

A House in Bow Street: Crime and the Magistracy London 1740-1881 Babington, Anthony
London MacDonald & Co. (Publishers) Ltd. 1969 0356028496 First Edition, First Printing Hardcover Near Fine Very Good 14 cm x 22 cm / 5.5" x 8.75"
First Edition, First Printing. Tightly bound in black boards with bright gilt lettering on spine; 252 pages including index and bibliography plus 8 pages B&W photos; slightest bump to spine top, else fine. Beige, black and red illustrated dust jacket, price intact, has a little edge wear and some rubbing; jacket now protected in a clear, archival quality sleeve. The "House in Bow Street" was from 1740 to 1881 the office of the Justice of the Peace for Middlesex and Westminster, the birthplace of the world's first organized police force - the Bow Street Runners - and modern methods of detection. Its notable magistrates included Thomas de Veil, author Henry Fielding who wrote 'Tom Jones' while succeeding brilliantly in office, and his blind half-brother John, who achieved social and penal reforms well ahead of the times. Anthony Babington, himself a Metropolitan Stipendiary Magistrate when he wrote this book, was also a student of eighteenth- and nineteenth-centrury social history and it is against the background of the contemporary scene - the poverty, misery and crime - that he traces the history of reforms that, for the most part, originated in Bow Street.
