Much happening around the production of Catalogue 180. The big hoohaa that was Albany has come and gone. (Well done to all involved) That was last week when a re-enactment of the AIF/NZ fleet leaving Albany 100 years ago heading for England (or so they thought—in fact it was Egypt to prepare for the then unknown and secret attack on the Ottomans). By early 1915 they were in place and training out of Mena Camp in the shadow of the great pyramids. What a thing this must have been for all those country boys who had never been anywhere to see this cradle of civilization. The Light Horse Regiments left their horses there and became infantry units for the task ahead. It would be close to 12 months before they would see their horses again. So...GALLIPOLI became our ‘cause célèbre’ - to attempt to take Turkey out of the war. But, we got our butts kicked big time losing close to 8000 men (including Kiwis) before they came to their senses and pulled our bedraggled army out of the hell hole. It was the first big disaster and wouldn’t be the last (Fromelles was next cab off the rank on the Western Front). The Light Horse Regiments had better success against the Turks in the Sinai-Palestine Campaign. So to this list: it contains many Gallipoli title under ‘The Great War’ section. As we lead up to ANZAC Day in 2015 I will hopefully list all Gallipoli titles in stock here. If anyone wishes to come here and trawl through the book room in search of that rare title give me a call and we can set up an appointment (and coffee). The ‘Ray Simpson, VC, DCM Biography Project’ which Pete Lutley and I have been plugging away at for close to 5 years is nearing completion. The ‘1st draft’ will be finished by 20 Dec and the follow up to final draft to be finished by ANZAC Day. 4 September 2015 is ‘publication/launch date (details will follow next year). This enormous project will be worth our time and effort. Pete and I are doing it ‘pro bono’ with all profits going to various charities. Again I dedicate this list to those in harms way especially those who are sent to deal with these IS pirates and vagabonds in the ME. Stay safe boys and return in one piece. Via Con Dios Mick and Jo.

Other dealers use a variety including ‘fine’ which I would rather leave to coins etc. Illus = illustrations (as opposed to ‘plates’); ex lib = had an earlier life in library service (generally public) and is showing signs of wear (these books are generally 1st editions mores the pity but in this catalogue most have been restored); eps + end papers, front and rear, ex libris or ‘book plate’; indicates it came from a private collection and has a book plate stuck in the front end papers. Books such as these are generally in good condition and the book plate, if it has provenance, ie, is linked to someone important, may increase the value of the book, inscr = inscription, either someone’s name or a presentation inscription; fep = front end paper; the paper following the front cover and immediately preceding the half title page; biblio: bibliography of sources used in the compilation of a work (important to some military historians as it opens up many other leads). or.cl. = original cloth generally indicating there is no dust wrapper; restored; generally means a book has had the treatment by a book binder. New end papers, glued or sewn spine, even new boards. The value of rare books can be greatly enhanced if they are restored professionally. ‘Back-yarders’ should desist from attempting to restore books! There are many reputa-ble binders around the place who will do a good job at a good price. By the way, the number that appears in brackets in the catalogue, ie (1814) is a data base number so no need to quote it when ordering. Postage is always extra and insurance is available upon request. Overseas orders by credit card only. Postage will be by cheapest and most practical means possible unless otherwise requested. (In Australia, Express Post is the quickest and carefully handled by Australia Post. Express Post has increased to $17 for a 3kg satchel (this includes everything OVER 500gms and under 3kg).
