› Find signed collectible books: 'The Far Side of the Lough'Book summary:This title is illustrated by Yannick Vu. This collection of fictional short stories by Polly Devlin, are based on her own childhood in Ardboe, in Northern Ireland. The narrator is a little girl whose mother has died and who is being looked after by a strong, plain-speaking country woman called Mary Ellen Martin. Mary-Ellen's father was a fisherman on the Lough and their lives were simple. She tells her small charge about the characters who made up the little community: Old Forbie, Jem the Bridge, Barney Dugh, Mickel Heron. Hers are the stories of a child's world, where places seem bigger than they really are and events more momentous. Her 'world' is her immediate environment: the car lane, the pin tree, Golloman's Point, the graveyard and the Lough. One of the most gripping stories is "The China Doll", where Mary Ellen tells of the wonder of receiving, in a parcel from an aunt in America, a beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed doll - her very first. The delight in the story makes its shocking conclusion all the more heart-rending. Mary-Ellen's tales are full of the colloquialisms of Northern Ireland. Beautifully and seamlessly told, they evoke a time long since passed and a child's unique view of the world. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Vogue Book of Fashion Photography: The First Sixty Years'Book summary:Elusive, transparent, striking, passionate, and, above all, representative of the times, fashion presents an elegant and challenging subject to the best of photographers. Here, in one beautiful volume, is a collection of the best fashion photography to appear in 'Vogue,' the world's leading fashion magazine.
Some of the most talented photographers of the century are included - artists such as Baron de Meyer, Edward Steichen, Man Ray, Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, David Bailey, and Helmut Newton. Concerned with portraying the ideal image of the woman of the day, these photographers create a vision at once attractive, elegant, and seductive - real and surreal, admired and unattainable. At its best, this vision combines art, techniques, psychology, and salesmanship with an understanding of the motivations and desires of the public.
This collection provides a rare opportunity to study the evolution of dress, behavior, and attitudes in our society, and to appreciate the development of the art of fashion photography and its principal subject -the image of woman. (includes 235 illustrations, 25 in color). [via]More editions of Vogue Book of Fashion Photography:

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Year in the Life of an English Meadow'Book summary:Andy Garnett and his wife, the writer Polly Devlin, bought Cannwood Meadow in 1983. Realizing that this Somerset meadow, which has benefited from benign husbandry over many years, contains an amazing variety of wild flowers, grasses and rushes that provide feeding for moths, butterflies and other insects some of them very rare they asked English Nature if they would be interested in making a survey of the field. As a result of this survey Cannwood Meadow was nominated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) by the Nature Conservancy Council.[via]
This book presents an illustrated record of Cannwood Meadow through the seasons, an account of its ecology and a review of its plants, animal life and husbandry, compiled by the Garnetts with the assistance of botanist Dr Chris Smith. A special feature is that it includes reproductions of pressings of 108 plants, which can thus be examined in minute detail. It is an invaluable record of a year in the life of an English meadow.More editions of A Year in the Life of an English Meadow:
