But in my heart I knew I wasn't entirely different from him. He was homeless: I was uncomfortable in my own home, even in my own skin. He was plagued by voices; I was tortured by memories. How much and what kind of pain, I wondered would it take to push me over the edge of sanity? Forensic psychologist Frank Clevenger is closer than most to understanding his personal demons. They give him a unique insight into the minds of the criminally insane it's his job to study.But neither his career nor his rational understanding even begin to help him deal with his problems. Clevenger is so deep into dependency - on drink, drugs, gambling, sex - it doesn't look as if he'll ever be free. Hired by the police departement to assess the competency of a homeless schizophrenic accused of murder and mutilation, he realises this may be his last chance to get it right. Then another desecrated corpse turns up. And so Clevenger is caught up in the search for a killer whose mind he can read as if it were his own..A dark, erotic and disturbing psychological thriller. .

	VASSILY AKSYONOV The Island of Crimea : A Novel London England, Hutchinson, 1985. First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" Tall 0091597005 Harback Hardback. Translated from the Russian by Michael Henry Heim. Imagine that the Crimea, instead of being a peninsula in the Black Sea, is an island. And imagine that island as a capitalist playground with sleek architecture, more cars than people, and every kind of luxury - a thorn in the side of the USSR in much the same way that Taiwan is an irritant for Communist China. Aksyonov drops us into this strange but plausible terrioty to tell a rollicking, suspenseful story of intrigue and romance that is also a cautionary take about the USSR and the fate of the West. Offbeat, dazzingly energized, and people with a battalion of KGB and CIA agents, film directors, rogues, freaks and heroes, this book is the work of a satirist of cheek, charm and remarkable insight who has as much to say to the citizens of his new homeland as he does to his Russian admirers who can no longer read him. 369 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) .

First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall 0002182041 Hardback The fifty years from the birth of Wisden's Almanack to the beginnng of the First World war represents perhaps the most important and significant period in the history of cricket. During this time cricket came of age, fully established as a national sport, ferried abroad with missionary zeal and providing a showcase for personalities that to this day dominate the length of its existence by their legendary appeal. This is a fascinating anthology reflecting cricket at the time of its greatest influence and fascination. With MCC celebrating its bicentary, it is appropriate to look back to a Golden Age, when the written word was the sole means of reporting matches and before broadcasting destroyed much of the mystique of the legendary characters of the game. In terms of nostalgia alone, this was the time of Cricket's Silver Lining. Illustrated. Very slight foxing to end pages. .

Message to previous owner to inside cover. Slight foxing to edge. With extracts from George Adamson's letters. Preface by Lord William Percy. Foreword by Captain Charles Pitman. The history of their lioness 'Elsa', reared from earliest infancy to three years old and finally returned to a wild life, forms a unique and illuminating study in animal psychology - a subject to which the last half-century has seen a wholly new approach. To whatever way of thinking the reader of Elsa's history may lean, it provides a record of absorbing interest depicting the gradual development of a controlled character which few would have credited as possible in the case of an animal potentially as dangerous as any in the world.

Translated from the Russian by Michael Henry Heim. Imagine that the Crimea, instead of being a peninsula in the Black Sea, is an island. And imagine that island as a capitalist playground with sleek architecture, more cars than people, and every kind of luxury - a thorn in the side of the USSR in much the same way that Taiwan is an irritant for Communist China. Aksyonov drops us into this strange but plausible terrioty to tell a rollicking, suspenseful story of intrigue and romance that is also a cautionary take about the USSR and the fate of the West. Offbeat, dazzingly energized, and people with a battalion of KGB and CIA agents, film directors, rogues, freaks and heroes, this book is the work of a satirist of cheek, charm and remarkable insight who has as much to say to the citizens of his new homeland as he does to his Russian admirers who can no longer read him. 369 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) .

'There were giants in the earth in those days.' To the present-day members of the Bar many of these eminent men are now not even names. In these pages I have tried to describe some of them as they appeared to me. It has also been my aim to picture the life of the ordinary young barrister of that time. I describe him in the Temple and in the Law Courts, as well as in his hours of ease outside. I am indebted to my friend Mr. Theobald Mathew for the sketches which illustrate this book.'

First Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall 0002182041 Hardback The fifty years from the birth of Wisden's Almanack to the beginnng of the First World war represents perhaps the most important and significant period in the history of cricket. During this time cricket came of age, fully established as a national sport, ferried abroad with missionary zeal and providing a showcase for personalities that to this day dominate the length of its existence by their legendary appeal. This is a fascinating anthology reflecting cricket at the time of its greatest influence and fascination. With MCC celebrating its bicentary, it is appropriate to look back to a Golden Age, when the written word was the sole means of reporting matches and before broadcasting destroyed much of the mystique of the legendary characters of the game. In terms of nostalgia alone, this was the time of Cricket's Silver Lining. Illustrated. Very slight foxing to end pages. .
