MILNE & ASSISTANTS Planned from a Scale of one Inch to a Statute Mile THE WHOLE EXECUTED & Published at the expense of the PROPRIETOR William Faden Geographer to HIS MAJESTY & to HRH the PRINCE of Wales London August 12th 1797”. Andrew Macnair’s innovative digital redrawing at 1.4” to a mile is larger than the original map & adds colour to highlight parks of the nobility & gentry, woodlands & commons or heaths. The removal of the original hachures not only ensures greater clarity in the presentation of villages & connecting roads, but also enhances the features of particular interest in Norfolk: the marshes of the Broads & especially the rivers, drains, dykes & fens in the western part of the county. Included in map corners are insets with street plans of Swaffham, Great Yarmouth & King’s Lynn & the four sheets are printed with an overlap to ensure that no place names are lost when combining them into one overall map. The whole set is presented in an A4 cover with notes on how the original map & its present version were produced. ...

One of Britains foremost printmakers, Norman Ackroyd CBE RA has spent a lifetime recording the coastal landscapes of the British Isles. A Shetland Notebook contains forty of his vivid landscape sketches in watercolour. Made in the open air, often aboard a pitching & tossing fishing boat, these lively, spontaneous works capture the unique atmosphere of these remote & beautiful islands. The notebooks unusual format is due entirely to the artist, who uses sheets of various types of paper torn to fit into a loose-leaf ring binder made from two pieces of wooden picture-backing; this he tucks into his coat pocket, ready for use whenever the need arises. His brief but engaging commentaries place each sketch in its context. Following the success of A Line in the Water, Ackroyds collaboration with the award-winning poet Douglas Dunn OBE, published by the Royal Academy in 2009, A Shetland Notebook is an essential purchase for all admirers of this most characterful artists work. ...

Norman Mailer: A Double Life

Norman Mailer was one of the most famous writers of his generation. People who have never read a word that he wrote know who he was because of his fame as a novelist or journalist, or his notoriety because of his womanising, his rivalries with other writers, his appearances on television, his political outspokenness and his prominence as a leading intellectual of his era. A provocative chronicler of the second half of the twentieth century, both as a journalist and a novelist, works such as The Naked and the Dead and The Executioner`s Song vividly define a moment in American history. J. Michael Lennon was authorised by Mailer to write his biography, and as such has had access to family and friends, and to unpublished documents and letters. Norman Mailer: A Double Life reflects
Mailer`s dual identities: journalist and activist, devoted family man and notorious philanderer, intellectual and fighter, writer and public figure, Jew and atheist. Whether you admired him or loathed him, he was remarkable and unique. His was an astonishing life.
