Jaunty Jock
Reproduction of the original: Jaunty Jock by Neil Munro
Neil Munro
"Most widely known for his humorous 'Para Handy' tales, Neil Munro (1863-1930) produced a number of accomplished novels and some skillfully crafted collections of short stories. He was also a distinguished journalist and an important figure in British, and particularly Scottish, literacy circles of the first quarter of the twentieth century. There has been a recent revival of interest in his work - much of which is now back in print." "This biography, by his granddaughter, is the first study of the man and his background - the 'old' Gaelic world of his native Argyllshire and the 'modern' world of his successful journalism, his friendships with Conrad, Cunninghame Graham, George Houston and other figures of the time. Munro was a family man through and through but with huge energy and interest in the wider world and a remarkable gift for story telling." "Lesley Lendrum uses previously unpublished letters and journal entries as well as well-chosen extracts from his journalism and other writing to tell his story."--BOOK JACKET.

Coins of Japan
Originally written in 1905, this volume examines the coins of Japan, especially appealing because of a subtle and impersonal charm which pervades their inscriptions and the sentiments which they set forth. They are written in characters which are a manifest surviva of the picture writing of early man. He wrote, that is to say, scored or scratched, various outline sketches of his doings and the more intimate facts of his surroundings, on bone, clay or other material.
Some People are Crazy
Described by Empire Magazine as 'Britain's best ever blues singer', John Martyn was one of rock music's last real mavericks. Despite chronic addiction to alcohol and drugs, he produced a string of matchless albums. Loved by fans and critics, loathed by ex-wives and managers, he survived the music business he despised for forty years. This book documents his upbringing in Glasgow and rise through the Scottish and London folk scenes of the 1960s, his many career highs and lows, and his friendships with the great lost souls of British rock music, Nick Drake and Paul Kossoff.
