A Town Like Alice
By Nevil Shute
First edition, first impression. A romance novel set in Australia and, briefly, in Malaya; published in 1950 soon after the author had settled in Australia. Adapted into a film and popular TV series in 1956 and 1981 respectively.
Original red cloth with lettering to spine in gilt and book title and author's monogram to upper cover in blind and publisher's imprint in blind to lower cover. Red top-stain. Some toning to edges and marginal, moderate browning to half-title. 'June' written in biro to front endpaper. Upper board ever-so-slightly bowed. Else a very good copy or better with the red top-stain nicely preserved and the contents nice and clean.
The original and unclipped dust jacket has several chips to spine ends and to upper panel with a few closed tears to edges, most notably to the top of lower panel. Some spotting to verso and, more faintly, to flaps.

Unended Quest: An Intellectual Autobiography
Modern First Editions, Non-Fiction, Philosophy, Showcase, Signed First Editions
Unended Quest
By Karl Popper
First revised edition, first impression. Signed and inscribed by the author in the year of publication to the title page: 'To Ian Hunter From Karl Popper October 1976. Popper's autobiography was originally published a couple of years earlier in 1974 as part of 'The Philosophy of Karl Popper'. The present edition represents its first separate publication, containing Popper's subsequent revisions to the original text.
Sir Karl Raimund Popper (1902 - 1994) was a highly influential Austrian-British Philosopher, academic and social commentator regarded as one of the most important and impactive philosophers of science of the 20th century. He proposed and developed ideas such as 'critical rationalism' and 'empirical falsification'; the idea behind the latter being that, given the impossibility of the attainment of definitive proof of a particular scientific theory, all theories should be subjected to rigorous testing and, therefore, potentially disproved by means of decisive scientific experimentation. This idea led to the establishment of the Department of Philosophy at the London School of Economics.
A touch of rubbing to spine ends. A few soft creases to spine and corners of covers with the usual toning to edges. Otherwise a uniquely well-preserved and near fine example, not often encountered inscribed in the year of publication and in such good condition.

Planet Plane
John Wyndham, Modern First Editions, Science Fiction
Planet Plane
By John Beynon (John Wyndham)
First edition, first impression in the rare green first issue cloth, rather than the later yellow binding. Later re-published under the title 'Stowaway to Mars'. The author's second science fiction novel and third published novel overall, preceding those he wrote as 'John Wyndham', such as 'The Day of the Triffids', 'The Chrysalids' and 'The Midwich Cuckoos' that so dramatically influenced the genre.
Original green cloth. Gift inscription to front paste-down. Some spotting, primarily to preliminaries, edges and final leaves with far lighter and more isolated spotting to contents, else very good. Lacking dust jacket. A rare edition of one of the author's earliest works, seldom found in its first issue green binding.
