The Party Entertainer: A storehouse of questions, catches, puzzles and problems that will serve for many, many parties, and hundreds of quiet fireside hours.

£5.00
96 pages of fun, with no hint of onanism I particularly like “The Mystic Hand of Fatima” but was more than confused by Nine Men’s Morris.
However if you are desperate to entertain yourself I would be willing to part with this fascinating (undated) publication for the princely sum of two pounds and ten shillings (£2.50)

If I was being cynical (obviously something I am not) I would call the title into question in todays climate, as there is no “Independent” Labour Party. The current entity using the title being a servant of the Capitalists ensuring that as always “it’s the rich what get the pleasure”.

The Battleground: Syria and Palestine the Seedplot of Religion – H Belloc
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.
