A beautifully executed watercolour painting depicting a well dressed young lady, seated, reading a book in front of a large tree. The ruins of an abbey or church are in the background, with hills in the distance. 'Glasgow Girl' Katherine Cameron (1874-1965), studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1889 to 1893 where she became associated with a small circle of female students who called themselves 'The Immortals'. The group included the sisters Frances and Margaret Macdonald, Janet Aitken, Agnes Raeburn, Jessie Keppie, John Keppie, Herbet McNair, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Her paintings, blending Art Nouveau, Celtic Revival, Arts and Crafts movement, and Japonisme aesthetics lent themselves to book illustration. As a student she contributed illustrations for 'The Yellow Book' and was later contracted by the London publishers T. C. and E. C. Jack to illustrate Fairy Tale gift books. Cameron exhibited widely in a career spanning nearly seven decades. Her first was in 1891 at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, where she exhibited 'September Flowers'. A year later she was elected a member of the Glasgow Society of Lady Artists, and of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour in 1897. Her final solo exhibition took place in 1959 at T&R Annan & Sons, Glasgow.

21 original paintings by Ingrid Gibb in watercolour, ink, acrylic and pencil on paper, many mounted on card with hand-written captions. Most are signed. One is dated 1978. The paintings range in size from 4 x 6 cm to 20.5 x 20 cm. The paintings vividly depict 'the Middle Kingdom', or fairyland, and its many inhabitants such as gnomes, salamanders and elves. The pieces are in very good condition, a few have lightly creased corners and some of the card mounts have some spotting and rubbing. Together with two softcover books in which some of the paintings are published: 'Nature Spirits: Brush Drawings by Ingrid Gibb', 1975 and 'Fairy Worlds and Workers: A natural history of fairyland by Marjorie Spock', 1980. Both volumes are first editions and are profusely illustrated in colour by Gibb and contain text by Spock. They are in very good condition, the extremities a little rubbed and creased. 'Fairy Worlds and Workers' has a few small pen corrections to misspelled words in the text, the contents of both volumes are otherwise clean. A lovely and unusual collection.

Ingrid Gibb is an artist about whom very little is known, though through the dedications to Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) in both of the present books (in 'Nature Spirits': "In memory of the Good Man, Rudolf Steiner / who understood so well the living forces behind nature"), her collaborations with Marjorie Spock, and her having taught Eurythmy (a performance art developed by Steiner and his wife Marie Steiner von-Sivers) in South Africa in the 1920s, it can be gathered that the spiritual science philosophies and theories of Steiner were of lifelong importance to her. The paintings depict a misty fairy realm, which Gibb and Spock both name 'the Middle Kingdom', and its inhabitants, fluidly rendered in transparent jewel-like colours which suggest glowing light, reminiscent of the art made by Steiner and the style adopted and encouraged by the Anthroposophy movement, as well as visionary art and modern spiritual art in general. In 'Fairy Worlds and Workers', Spock explains the Middle Kingdom by stating "if God's is the world of creative power and ours the world of created objects, the Middle Kingdom is the land of life that lies between them, serving as the bridge for their interaction". She also describes Steiner's belief in and teachings of this realm, and how the elemental spirits that inhabit it serve as custodians of nature. Marjorie Spock (1904-2008) was an American teacher and biodynamic gardener. She studied Eurythmy and Anthroposophy with Marie Steiner von-Sivers and Rudolf Steiner at the Goetheanum in Dornach for many years before returning to the USA where she taught at a number of progressive schools. She was a passionate organic gardener and in the 1950s brought a case against The United States government in relation to the heavy and indiscriminate spraying of the harmful pesticide DDT. The case became one of the initial inspirations behind Rachel Carson's groundbreaking environmental science book 'Silent Spring'. Spock described her understanding of the fairy realm as coming from her close relationship with nature as a gardener. A wonderful collection of original art and accompanying books, portraying the lasting influence of a new spiritual movement upon two women and how they reinterpreted it and made it their own within the context of the modern world that they lived in, four decades after the death of Rudolf Steiner.

I was to look after the equipment of the biggest band in the world, The Beatles. I know it was unique and a privilege because only one other person had done the job before me, his name was Mal Evans and he was the Beatles' Roadie. Over the past 40 odd years since the Beatles split up there have been countless books published on the band. I can't add anything new to their story, I can only tell mine. My job with the Beatles has been described as various different things in books and on the internet, some right, some wrong. I am writing this book to clarify my role working with the boys. How you view me after you have read my account I leave to you" - Introduction.

Signed by Seamus Heaney to the limitation page at the back of the book. 'Spelling It Out' was published on 9 January 2009 in both wrappers and this signed, limited hardback edition of four hundred copies, three hundred of which were available for sale. A tribute to the Irish playwright Brian Friel to mark his eightieth birthday, it comprises of a series of short sections, each headed by a letter of Friel's name. As Heaney notes in the prefatory note, "I [...] thought it worth the risk to spell out some of the things we know and love and value about Brian by focussing on the letters of his name. So this is not so much an abecedary as a befrielery." Heaney greatly respected Friel and the essay includes much about his own debts to and affinities with a writer sometimes referred to as an Irish Chekhov. The final paragraph of the final section reads the letter L as for "letter, the first one Brian wrote to me after 'Death of a Naturalist' was published in 1966, a gesture that was generous, typical and of immense significance for me. It was an admission to the guild of makers, permission to draw up a stool to the edge of the magic circle, and as such an honour to be cherished and a standard to be lived up to ever since."
