- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

‘ This belated collection shows us the depths of Fitzgerald`s vision & talent. Only now are we beginning to appreciate what was lost’ The Pool I`d Die for You is a collection of the last remaining unpublished short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald, iconic author of The Great Gatsby & Tender Is the Night. All eighteen short fictions collected here were lost in one sense or another: physically lost, coming to light only recently; lost in the turbulence of Fitzgerald`s later life; lost to readers because his editors sometimes did not understand what he was trying to write. These fascinating stories offer a new insight into the arc of Fitzgerald`s career, & demonstrate his stylistic agility & imaginative power as a writer at the forefront of Modern literature. ‘ Superbly edited & annotated, this richly fascinating miscellany is a marvellous reminder of what was lost when, at forty-four, a coronary killed Fitzgerald’ Sunday Times‘ Forward-thinking for their time... Fitzgerald was a master of short story writing’ The Times‘ This much-vaunted collection of stories... is a ragtag bundle of surprises, curios, irrelevancies & delights... We can marvel at the strength of his imagination, his display of elegance & precision’ Sunday Telegraph‘ Readers will find much to enjoy in this gorgeously produced book’ New York Times‘A beguiling meditation on the dark side of wealth & the American dream’ Independent ...
