First Edition. Hubin listed mystery in which Allison writes in the preface: "This book was written at the rate of a chapter a day during two return voyages from Buenos Ayres to England, and in the circumstances the subject matter of it is not elaborately treated but the main point as to the want of fuller description of foals in the General Stud Book and - later on - in Export Certificates is, I hope, made perfectly clear, especially in the light of the Pentecost case, full and authentic details of which are given in an Appendix. A very large amount of evidence bearing on this point could be given, but I feel sure the Jockey Club Stewards will remedy the trouble when once they realise its existence, and I, therefore, will say no more, but commit my somewhat crude book to the mercies of its readers". Card affixed to front paste-down, dated Christmas 1910, "with the author's compliments, W. Allison." Very Good, modest wear. Item #20400

First Edition, Advance Review Proof Copy. Original printed green wrappers. Very scarce title by this obscure Australian author. " If a New Zealander wrote anything near so workmanlike a job we should be told that at last the great New Zealand novelist had arrived. For competence of writing, establishment of characters, wise selection of incident, and a quality of experience “White Horses Ride Home” could well be taken as a model by New Zealand authors. The story has the suggestion of autobiography that is common in first novels, but whatever its source, it is a remarkably interesting and straightforward tale of experience, without any fussy or psychological word-spinning. The story describes what happens to a girl, brought up. under “free discipline methods” who first of all throws over her musical education for a stolid suburban love, and then is swept off her feet by the matinee idol of a touring musical comedy company. She marries her idol, and then gradually learns what discipline life itself can impose as her husband’s career goes precipitantly downhill." Very Good in wrappers. Item #28927

First Edition. Original limp tan leather, blindstamped at front cover, 5" by 3 1/2", 48 pages. Fabulous little volume of cocktail recipes, one of only two recipe books to include the Liberal Cocktail. Two recipes are food items: Clam Cocktail and the Oyster Cocktail. Three of them are drinks that are technically not cocktails: Chocolate Cocktail (a flip), Coffee Cocktail (flip), and the Soda Cocktail (a soft-drink). The other forty-five recipes are true cocktails. "No cobblers, Collinses, coolers, fixes, fizzes, highballs, juleps, punches or sours in it. The majority of today’s so-called ‘craft cocktails’ (most of them actually sours or other short punches) would not have passed muster to get into the Gorham Cocktail Book." [Andrew Willett, Elemental Mixology] A lovely and scarce title. Very Good, front pastedown paper has mostly detached from inside cover, couple of 'drip' spots at covers. Item #26912
