Thank you for reading and please check out my signed books.An epic love story and adventure set against the stunning backdrop of Antarctica. As a buyer my real pet hate is signed books offered for sale with a stock photo of the cover only - so essentially I'm buying something blind? Is it really that much effort to add a photo of the signature? That's why I'll always have photo's of the actual books and signed books I have to offer. As a book lover I understand the joy of receiving a much wanted book in good condition. I will be honest with a book's description as I would expect to be in return and I will pack and send securely. I also collect and sell certain signed prints - mainly water colours such as William Russell Flint and animal and bird prints by David Shepherd, Peter Scott, Basil Ede and more modern artists such as John Trickett and John Weiss.

I also have a few signed autobiographies. I've also purchased odd lots at auction so I have some older books particularly stories for boys. I generally buy at auction houses, book fairs or over the internet so the books are almost never new but I try and sell only books in very good or fine condition. To me a signed copy means the author has handled and added a little more of themself to that particular book when they would never generally see the vast majority that go on sale. I specialize in modern first editions (first printing in most cases), especially signed by the author. if she survives.Ībout Preloved books and prints:- I am a small amateur collector selling books to augment an even smaller pension.

And where she discovers something else that will change her life forever. Where she feels such a strong attraction to a man with danger in his face that she cannot speak to him. A base where tensions run high, where the hostile environment traps them, and where the distance means no-one has a past. And nothing has prepared her for the close confines of a small base shared with eight men and one other woman.

Little does she expect the strangeness of a place coloured blue and white, lit by an unearthly permanent sunlight. Alice accepts an invitation to go in Margaret's place to the southernmost point of the earth, and stay there for months, away from the world that has let her down. Alice's mother, Margaret Mather, is famous as an adventuring anthropologist, one of the first women in Antarctica many years before. In her thirties, childless, tied to Oxford by her work, it is time to break away. But when her relationship with Oxford artist Peter Brown collapses spectacularly, she is forced to evaluate her own life for the first time. Alice is a scientist: she relies on method, precision, proof. An epic love story and adventure set against the harsh, beautiful background of Antarctica.
