Catherine Beatrice "Caddie" Edmonds Caddie A Sydney Barmaid
UK Constable and Company Ltd. 1953 Hardcover Good No Jacket 20.5cm
Caddie is the partially embellished autobiography of Catherine "Caddie" Edmonds, who worked as a barmaid in Sydney during the Great Depression. Published anonymously in 1953 under Edmonds' nickname, which was coined by a lover who likened her to "the sleek body and class of his Cadillac motorcar", Caddie attracted wide critical acclaim upon its original publication in London, and became a bestseller when it was adapted into a feature film in 1976, one year after International Women's Year. Edmonds chose to write under a pseudonym because she was publicity-shy. Book has intro by Cusack - who Edmonds worked for. Book spine sunned (darker), bottom corners bumped but not torn. 274pp with sewn-in binding.

In 264 BC friendly relations between Rome and the great African power of Carthage were disrupted by a seemingly unimportant incident in north-east Sicily.

Cervantes - Reeves, James (retold) Exploits of Don Quixote
Blackie 1959 Hardcover Very Good Very Good 22cm Edward Ardizzone
A retelling of the exploits of an idealistic Spanish country gentleman and his shrewd squire who set out, like knights of old, to search for adventure, right wrongs, and punish evil. Publisher comment > In the hands of a lesser writer, the great classic, Don Quixote, might suffer irremediably through adaptation and abridgement. But James Reeves is a gifted and scrupulous writer and approaches his subject with exemplary taste and understanding. Here is the fantastic knight and his little squire with all the comic impact of the original, and all the pathos. The book has 2 or 3 school stamps and at the rear a borrowers' card in a pocket - shamefully the card is blank! Plastic wrap has kept this in nice condition. A classic tale and a masterful illustrator - stop looking at other windmills & click Buy It at this pathetically low price for such a classic!

Charlotte De La Bedoyere Starting Out with Native Plants
UK New Holland Publishing 2007 Excellent Excellent 29cm
There are huge advantages for the gardener in growing native plants: local plants are low maintenance because they are adapted to local soils and they will usually withstand adverse weather conditions, such as summer droughts. Many will also grow in difficult areas in poor soil conditions. But perhaps the best reason for growing them is that they help to sustain and preserve the natural biodiversity of the local area: insects, birds and other animals depend on them for food and shelter. Starting Out with Native Plants illustrates and catalogues all the plants, excluding trees and shrubs, which are native to Britain. For each plant there are details of its size, habit, flowering season, hardiness, soil and site requirements, propagation and pruning methods, providing British gardeners with an instant and valuable source of reference for their local plant heritage. Book in great order.
