Wardy really leaps out of the pages. His infectious personality comes through from the start and the revelations are both choice and amusing. I particularly liked the format using the memories of others interspersed with Ward's observations and thoughts. --John Vinicombe, legendary Brighton Sports journalist and author, Dec 2009 256 pages.

Thomas Hoving

Two Worlds of Andrew Wyeth: A Conversation With Andrew Wyeth

Houghton Mifflin, 1978. Softcover. Near Fine Condition. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, slight wear to cover edges. A fascinating book, it gives a detailed commentary from the artist as to what motivated him to paint a particular picture, where his interests within the picture lay, what changed as the work progressed and his thoughts on its final state. So much better than an art critic giving his/her opinion and interpretation. Andrew Wyeth explains his techniques and the reasons he chooses a particular technique for a particular effect or subject. There is no pretentious nonsense just a marvellous insight into his work. The paper quality is not good and the plates are mediocre but other better presented work doesn't always have the insights that this book offers, combine it with a more recent publication with better reproductions.

London Parish Maps to 1900 : A Catalogue of Maps of London Parishes within the Original London County Council

London Topographical Society, 2020. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780902087705 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, very slight wear to jacket edges. A well looked after copy. This catalogue records how the parishes of inner London were mapped up to 1900 when they were replaced by the precursors of the modern London boroughs. It identifies over 470 parish maps, predominantly dating from 1750 to 1900, of which over 340 are illustrated. The maps chart how London parishes evolved from ecclesiastical divisions that did little more than maintain the church and relieve the poor, to prototype civic councils which towards the end of the nineteenth century promoted sanitation, ran libraries and even generated electricity. Introductory essays by Peter Barber and Laurence Worms place the maps in a wider cartographical context, describing how and why they were made, who made them, and the information they contain. 470 pages.
