Description
(London): New English Library / Times Mirror, 1980. First printing. Very good.. Scarce first edition of this final entry in Allen's SKINHEAD series. Prolific pulp writer James Moffatt - often writing under one of his many pseudonyms - published hundreds of pulp novels in his lifetime, but none more commercially successful than the provocative SKINHEAD series of "youthsploitation" novels. Centered on on the exploits of the terminally delinquent Joe Hawkins (the Skinhead in question) the series is rife with sex crimes, violence, sentiments of racial hatred, and general thuggery. This volume, the final of the series, follows Hawkins's son against the backdrop of the Mod-revival subculture. 7'' x 4.25''. Original color photographic wrappers. 180 pages. Some wear, shallow cut to bottom edge, else sturdy and sound.

Jena:: Gustav Fischer, 1905., 1905. 8vo. viii, 152 pp. Original orange printed wrappers; spine mended with kozo. Rubber stamp on cover « Rezensionsexemplar » [review copy]. Good. First edition (three editions were issued by 1920). Nine lectures on the philosophy of medicine (the title says history, but it isn't really that!). / "Dr. E. Schwalbe is professor of general pathology and pathological anatomy in Rostock. His book is very different from the others, the aim of it being philosophical or propedeutic rather than historical. It is obviously the outgrowth of lectures given to medical students and the emphasis is laid on the evolution of medical theories. Biography is reduced to a minimum. The professor's main purpose has been to explain to his students how the ideas which now dominate medical thought and practice have slowly been developed." – review by George Sarton, ISIS, vol. 4, no.3, April, 1922. / Dedicated to Professor Dr. Julius Arnold on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. / Ernst Theodor Carl Schwalbe was a German pathologist, Heidelberg. He was killed during the 1920 Kapp Putsch, an attempted coup against the German national government in Berlin
