Coutts and Co. 1692-1992: Portrait of a Private Bank SIGNED

Hodder & Stoughton, 1992. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780340558263 Inscribed by person(s) connected with book. SIGNED by David Money-Coutts to the previous owner, on Coutts notepaper affixed to the front endpaper. Clean unmarked pages, lightly creased jacket, slight discolouring to slipcase. A history of the private bank that has served royalty and flourished through three centuries of great change, presenting its human face rather than merely a record of a financial institution. Part one describes the Bank's origins with the Scottish goldsmith John Campbell and its other strong Scottish roots. Part two concentrates on Thomas Coutts, 1750-1837, his reorganization of Campbell's bank in the Strand (where it still remains), his two secret marriages and his pursuit of powerful and royal customers. Part three is the period of Angela Burdett-Coutts, whose span is virtually identical with the reign of Queen Victoria. Part four brings the story right up to 1992, describing the modernization of the Bank in its new premises. It ends with a look into the future and a look back in the modern banking hall. Illustrated. 448 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Economics; Inscribed by person(s) connected with book. ISBN/EAN: 9780340558263. Inventory No: dscf10082.

Gordon Heath

Deep are the Roots: Memoirs of a Black Expatriate

University of Massachusetts Press, 1992. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Very Good. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages; top corner clipped from front flap of jacket, colour faded to rear, slight rubbing. An accomplished actor whose career spanned 5 decades on the stages of New York, London and Paris, Gordon Heath (1918-1991) achieved national prominence in 1945 for his starring role in the Broadway production of "Deep Are the Roots", a searing exploration of American race relations at the close of World War II. In this memoir, Heath tells the story of his formative years - his childhood on Manhattan's West Side, his summer sojourns at a camp for black youngsters in upstate New York, his awakening sexuality, his education in and out of school, his training in music, art, voice and dance, and his plunge into a life in the theater. Recounting his experiences from Broadway to London's West End, he offers deft sketches of such friends as Owen Dodson, Elia Kazan and Pearl Primus. The result is an engaging portrait of a black artist as a young man and an important contribution to theatre. Illustrated. 192 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
