Usual terms and conditions - please don't send payment with order: I will send an invoice with the book(s)if available. Payment can be made by cheque drawn on a UK bank. I also accept Visa and Mastercard.Postage and packing is extra. Books may be returned if not as described. The condition of the book isdescribed before that of the dustwrapper if there is one.This is a special 50th copy of my catalogue – all the books are signed by author, illustrator, editor orsomebody of interest often with a dedication. In some cases I refer to another item where there is moreinformation on the author, dedicator or dedicatee.If your interest is just, for example, in the Spanish Civil War, you will obviously find books under“Spain”, but there are books signed by members of the International Brigades in different categories; ifyou want books by early British Trotskyists, have a look in Religion and USA; if you want books signedby Harry Pollitt search under Fiction, China and so on. Some of these books came from the collection of Monty Johnstone (1928-2007). In compiling the catalogueit became apparent how widely respected he was, even by those who disagreed with him (with theexception of Palme Dutt and a few Trotskyists!), so I would like to dedicate this catalogue to his memory.

My Bibliography of the Communist Party of Great Britain is at last accessible via my web site, thanks to theBarry Amiel/Norman Melburn Trust.It’s worth having a look at my web site if you haven’t already done so – there are pages with material on thehistory of Radical Bookshops, Bibliography of the Paris Commune, Political Pseudonyms, images of some ofmy ephemera stock as well as special offers. The web site is updated every 2 months.
