Chiang Kai-shek
AU$800 Read MoreAdd to cartHollington K. Tong
Taipei: China Publishing Company, 1953.The revised edition of Tong’s biography of the Chinese leader. Tong was a journalist and diplomat, serving as the Ambassador of the Republic of China to Japan when this edition was published later as the Ambassador to the United States. This revised edition, published 16 years after the first edition, condenses the story of Chiang Kai-shek’s life pre-1936, which was covered at length in the two volume first edition, and focuses on the epic years which followed, 1937-1953. This copy inscribed by Tong in Tokyo, 1953, to the polyglot Boris Strjeshevsky, an officer in the Imperial Russian Army that fled to China where he learned English and Chinese and taught Russian to the Chinese, before moving to Japan in 1939 where he learned Japanese and taught languages, before finally moving to Queensland, Australia, where he taught Russian at the University of Queensland.

After Sex
AU$35 Read MoreAdd to cartEdna Bonhomme; Alice Spawls
London: Silver Press, 2023.“The last decade has seen a rise in activism and arguments over women’s reproductive freedom reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s. This title provides personal and political perspectives from the mid-twentieth century to the present day, setting feminist classics alongside contemporary accounts and highlighting the experiences of women of colour and working-class women. Contributors include Nell Dunn, Anne Enright, bell hooks, Ursula K. Le Guin, Audre Lorde and Sally Rooney. These essays, short stories and poems trace past understandings of reproductive freedom and consider what it might look like in future, making urgent connections between womenÂ’s equality and access to contraception, healthcare and childcare. The writers pay special attention to people — both fictional and real — who have sought control over their sexual lives, and the joy, comedy, difficulties and disappointments that entails. But above all, After Sex testifies to the power of great writing to show us why that freedom is worth pursuing — without shame and without apology.” (publisher’s blurb)

Awakening a Curate’s Library: The Rev. William Arderne Shoults (1839-1887): His Life, His Book Collection, and his Legacy to New Zealand
AU$65 Read MoreAdd to cartDonald Jackson Kerr
: The Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand, 2022.“This book is the first to provide an account of the life of Rev. William Arderne Shoults (1839-1887) and his book collecting. It is also the first detailed examination of a true survivor, his book collection of some 5600 items, including medieval manuscripts, incunables, books on ecclesiastical history and primitive church rites and rituals, philology, bibliography, science, travel, and Arabic and Persian texts. The contents cover Shoults’s early years at St. John’s College, Cambridge University, his work in some of the poorer ritualistic parishes of London, his association with the Rev. Joseph Leycester Lyne (1837-1908), the controversial, enthusiastic, revivalist known as ‘Father Ignatius’, his work on Latin hymns, his marriage, and his travel overseas, which included visiting the Vatican Library. After Shoults’s death at 48, his collection was gifted to Selwyn College, Dunedin, arriving in New Zealand in 1893. The survival of this collection is remarkable and it exists as a fine example of what a nineteenth-century curate could collect.” (publisher’s blurb)
