I would have liked to put "The greatest swordsman throughout the known world" but eclectic book dealer and motorcyclist and ex politico would be slightly more accurate. (the pic is not up to date by the way)

Most of these have good artwork on the rear covers as well as the fronts. There is a bit of a theme here (with at least a couple of exceptions), in these days I should probably not admit that I like these covers so I wont (admit it that is).

I remember watching the first two series as they were shown (pre video), the time when “anti-heroes” came into vogue. I thought Edward Woodward was super cool, then he did that ridiculous American series and managed to be a big enough drip to get burnt in a Straw Man.

I have two hard back first editions, both with water damage, one much worse than the other, thankfully the rarer book is in better condition. A Magnum for Schneider, which I have just watched on YouTube, the damage is a slight wrinkling to the dj, the book has no faults not clipped and no inscriptions. Death and Bright water has extensive repairs to the cover and the dj is stained and has bits of the flap missing.

Because of the condition of Death and Bright Water I am giving that free with the other book, it is available on line from £15 upwards. I am asking £50 for both books. Please ask me any questions if you are interested.

The Battleground: Syria and Palestine the Seedplot of Religion – H Belloc
collage-stock-960

The Battleground: Syria and Palestine the Seedplot of Religion by Hilaire Belloc

In this religious-biblical oriented history, Belloc provides a full and fair treatment of the ancient Jews and other Middle Eastern cultures and their impact in history, and in today’s world. He affirms a special divine design in the story of Syria and particularly of Israel, reaching a climax in the event of the Crucifixion of Christ. His famous motto, “Europe is the Faith, the Faith is Europe” has been interpreted as a form of religious ethnocentrism. But he was making the point that what we regard as the greatest cultural, political and artistic achievements of Western civilization stem from the old creed. Without the one, the other would not exist.
