Booth, Tony

What's Left? [Illustrated]

Fine condition. Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2002. First edition-first printing. Black hardback(gilt lettering to the spine, small nick on the edge of the cover) with Dj(two small nicks, scratch and crease on the Dj cover), both in fine condition. Illustrated with b/w photos. The book is new with two small nicks on the edges of the pages, light shelf wear on the back of Dj cover. 216pp including Tony Booth's Family Tree, list of illustrations and index. Price un-clipped. Product Description nTony Booth didn't just hone his political skills arguing the toss with Alf Garnett. He was born in Liverpool, that hotbed of political activism; his uncle was close to Bessie Braddock, MP and de facto uncrowned monarch of the city; and he did his first canvassing (for Philip Voss, the beaten Labour candidate) at the age of 14 in the 1945 General Election. Throughout an incident-packed life, which includes a very cushy National Service in Paris where he became gigolo to a socialist and former resistance leader, a spell in the Merchant Navy, years in rep before sudden ‘overnight' stardom in Till Death Do Us Part, several marriages (including Pat Phoenix, the femme fatale of Coronation Street, who died of cancer) and an alcoholic lost decade, he has clung to the political principles instilled into him in his youth. These have brought him at various times into collisions with Hugh Gaitskill, Wilson, John Prescott and Gordon Brown, and lifelong friendships with the likes of Michael Foot and Tony Benn. n nNone of this, however, could have prepared him for the happenstance which led his daughter Cherie to fall in love with and marry the future Prime Minister. Tony Booth's position as Tony Blair's father-in-law has given him an uniquely privileged insight into the life of the nation's first political family. And he isn't shy of speaking his mind.

Price clipped. 443pp including List of illustrations, bibliography, source notes, index. Product Description: Spike Milligan was one of Britain's best-loved comics as well as one of the most original. In this reassessment of Spike's life and career, biographer Humphrey Carpenter has - through copious research and access to many of those closest to the great man - unearthed a character who could be as difficult and contradictory as he was generous and talented. The creator of The Goons was to influence a whole generation of comics, yet was never to feel fully valued. His periods of depression were matched by periods of high creativity - there were poems, novels, volumes of biography, as well as a television series and a one-man show as Spike searched for his best means of expression. There was also, as revealed here, his inveterate womanising. Married three times and with four children to whom he was devoted, two illegitimate children were to remain barely acknowledged.

Carre, John le (Preface)

My Name Escapes Me: The Diary of a Retiring Actor

Near fine condition. Viking, 1997. First American edition-4th printing(5 7 9 10 8 6 4). Cream hardback with tan borders(silver lettering to the spine, small nick on the cover) with Dj(very small tear, a couple of creases, nicks and scratches on the Dj cover), both in near fine condition. Nice and clean pages as new, date wtitten inside the back cover, light shelf wear on the Dj cover. Nice and clean book. 218pp including index. Price un-clipped. From Library Journal: In 1994, Guinness was approached by Charles Moore, the editor of the Sunday Telegraph, to keep a diary in 1995, from which he would publish two or three selections in the paper. Obviously, Moore recognized that what he got was a better product than he had bargained for, and the result is this book. Guinness was 81 during the year of his scribbling, and readers will hope that they are as vigorous and thought-provoking when they reach that age. The actor's comments on books, paintings, other actors, and the like reveal a sharp eye and an occasional endearing quirkiness?so much so that readers who finish the book will want to invite him to lunch. Perhaps as interesting as the book is the preface by John Le Carre, the author who created George Smiley and then watched Guinness bring him to life in a series of TV dramatizations. Le Carre says that Guinness is not a comfortable companion?but he says it so gracefully that Guinness forgives him, and so will you. Near Fine/Near Fine. ISBN: 9780670875894
