London: John G Wilson, 1914. No dustwrapper, some bumping to spine ends and corners of black cloth-covered boards, some rubbing to boards at front and back, including a bit to the gray title panel on front board, but neither the title not the wavy-line decoration is affected. The cover design is attributed to Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Rock herself attested to the attribution when she presented a copy of the book to the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow before her death. Binding just beginning to start to give way inside front board, endpapers at front and back are a bit grubby, but otherwise a good clean tight copy of this uncommon little hard-cover collection of poems by the author (1884-1954). She was active in the Suffragette movement, and spent two months in Holloway for smashing windows in 1912; but the poems have no reference to politics or the Women's Suffrage movement. Signed by the author on f/ep "Madeleine Caron Rock". 52pp.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Description:
London: Robert Hale, 1978. Creasing and a couple of small tears to the edges of unclipped dustwrapper, the back panel of which is a bit grubby, minor bumping to spine ends and corners of black boards, some minor yellowing to the pages, and the book does smell a bit of being shut away in a cupboard or similar, but otherwise a not too bad tight copy of this hard-cover book. Part of the publisher's "Hale Science Fiction" series, the story deals with the discovery of a fossilised dinosaur in a clay pit in Bedfordshire. The creature is found with eggs which are all picked up except for one, which hatches out in the countryside and the resulting lizard-man type creature (hence the title) then proceeds to terrorise the area. The first novel by the author, a dentist in Bedford who wrote a few others back in the 1970s, one of which, "Child of Vodyanoi", was adapted by the BBC as "The Nightmare Man" in 1981.

Minor bumping to spine ends and corners of orange boards, a small faded bit at the top end of the spine where the dustwrapper has been torn away, but otherwise a good clean tight copy of this hard-cover book.

The book contains eighteen cat stories (and a poem) by different authors, namely: "A Little White Cat" by Dorothy Baker, "A Fine Place for the Cat" by Margaret Bonhan, "Smith" by Ann Chadwick, "When in Doubt - Wash!" by Paul Gallico, "The Blue Flag" by Kay Hill, "God and the Little Cat" by Selwyn Jepson, "The Fat of the Cat" by Gottfried Keller, "Broomsticks" by Walter de la Mare, "New Conquest of the Matterhorn" by T S Blakeney, "Johnnie Poothers"…

The first cinema, the Asakusa Denikikan, was opened in Tokyo in 1903 and within 13 years 300 cinemas had sprung up throughout the country... (The author) focuses on the historical development of Japanese film, illustrated by a series of typical Japanese film posters. She details an industry and an art form shaped by the competing and merging forces of traditional culture and of economic and technological innovation."
