Description
London: George Bell And Sons, 1886. First Edition. I have been unable to find out anything about this title but it is certainly rare. A collection of stories and tales. The dedication page reads: To My Brother Who Sleeps In The Bayuda Desert. The Bayuda Desert was crossed by the Desert Column of the Gordon Relief Expedition in January 1885 in a failed attempt to relieve the Siege of Khartoum. The Desert Column was led mainly by Major General Sir Herbert Stewart but after he was mortally wounded, command passed to Brigadier General Charles Wilson, the column's intelligence officer. The Expedition saw the Battle of Abu Klea and the Battle Abu Kru. Small 8vo., decorative green cloth, stamped in gilt & black; 88 pages. Very Good (contents clean & tight but with one front & rear page somewhat browned; covers minor wear & bright).

Description
New York: The Storm, 1977. 12p., 6.25x8.25 inches, illustrations, stapled pictorial wraps; some small stains to covers. Includes a discussion of anarcho-capitalism versus anarcho-communism. As later stated in issue 9/10, “The purpose of The Storm has been from the beginning to explore and advocate anarchy — life without compulsory authority. In the execution of this purpose, we have criticized authority as it is embodied in the corporate-state and as it manifests within the various counter-movements of anarchism, libertarianism, and gay liberation. We have also looked back to those whose lives exemplified anarchy in action: Emma Goldman, John Henry Mackay, Thoreau, the European Egoists, and Voltairine de Cleyre.”.
