A Japanese lithograph, of a young man with an elaborate floral body tattoo and black cape from the series "Mishima Go Book of Young Men", signed Mishima Gô (1921-81), circa 1972, 41cm x 27cm. Tsuyoshi Mishima, who worked under the name Mishima Go, was one of the first contemorary gay artists of Japan. He contributed illustrations to "Barazoku"(The Rose Tribe), the first commercial gay magazine in Japan, published by Daini Shobo in Tokyo in 1971. Dissatisfied with the bishônen art style of Barazoku, Mishima founded the magazine Sabu in 1974, which focused on imaged of masculine men, and was more explicitly pornographic. Mishimaalso created a seris of lithograph portraits of young men, most of them with tattoos, titled "Mishima Go Book of Young Men" in 1972. Published by Danini Shobo, the series was a portfolio of 24 portraits. Considered gay erotica, his images feature rugged young men with short cropped hair and, most of them with impressive full body tattoos. Works by Mishima Go are rare.

Rowling, J.K. - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone The first edition, first impression of the London: Bloomsbury, 1997. First edition, first impression, with the 10-1 numberline on the publisher's imprint page, hardcover, 8vo, original publisher's pictorial laminated boards, library circulation label indicating withdrawal, laminated barcode to front free endpaper and neat label pasted to publication page, some restoration work, very slight browning and slight soiling internally including a couple of small ink marks to first page, star stamp to upper edgeFootnote: Note: Few books have inspired the imaginations of a generation of children like J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. The franchise has now expanded to encompass eight Harry Potter films, two Fantastic Beasts films, a sell-out stage play, three theme parks and a studio tour. As of 2016, the Harry Potter industry was estimated to be worth $25 billion. It is therefore very poignant to encounter the point at which all this began: J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was published in London, by Bloomsbury, in 1997. Unsure of its success, the publishers issued only 500 copies of the first edition, first impression in hardback. The book is the jewel in a Harry Potter collector’s crown. This copy, being one of the 500 first impression hardbacks produced, has the numberline reading 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 on the publisher’s imprint page, the publisher is listed as Bloomsbury, the error of ‘1 wand’ is listed twice in Harry’s school equipment list and ‘Philosopher’ is misspelt ‘Philospher’ on the lower cover. It is an exceptionally rare book to find. Wendy Cooling's review on the upper cover states: "A terrific read and a stunning first novel", another key issue point of the first edition, first impression. The book is indeed a story that has captured the hearts of generations around the world, with this copy representing the birth of a true classic.
Rowling, J.K. Two signed novels, comprising Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Bloomsbury, 1999, First edition, 3rd impression, signed by author on half-title, original pictorial boards, very slightly bumped at head and base of spine, a few small marks to boards; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Jeffrey Quill (1913 1996) OBE, AFC, FRAeS was a British test pilot who served on secondment with the Royal Air Force and Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve during the Second World War. He was also the second man to fly the Spitfire after Vickers Aviation's chief test pilot, Joseph Mutt Summers. During WW2 Quill was in charge of development and production flying at Vickers, a job that he took so seriously that he felt he must obtain first-hand combat experience. He successfully argued the need to gain front line operational experience and was temporarily released on 5 August 1940 to join No.65 Squadron at RAF Hornchurch. On 16 August he shot down a Messerschmitt Bf109 and two days later he shared a victory over a Heinkel Hw 111. His combat days were short lived because he was recalled after nineteen days to test the Spitfire Mk III.
