<span style="font-size: large;"><b>There are many things that people will collect. One of the less obvious choices is that of collecting vintage cheques. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I collect too many things already but I can see the appeal of this. It`s an object that tells a story, a record of a transaction that took place between two parties in the past.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The cheques may be drawn on banks that no longer exist in that form. The account holders may be ( to pick a few random examples from past and present stock ) a historic brewery, a hospital, a firm of valuers or some other organisation. The firm concerned may have had their own cheques designed to highlight their company name.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The particular cheques in our picture are from a US bank, Bloomsburg Banking Company, and date from the nineteeenth century. We have nine of these, with four for sale singly and the remaining five available as a job lot.</b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Vintage badges are always popular with collectors and vintage trade union badges are particularly sought after.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">These three </span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">relate to the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, a body which existed from 1949 to 2006. This was a group that broke away from the World Federation of Trade Unions in 1949 citing undue Communist influence, and existed independently until 2006 when it became part of the International Trade Union Confederation, which still exists today.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The flag-shaped badge and the larger of the two round ones are of particular interest, being Conference badges (The flag-shaped badge was worn by a delegate at Berlin, 1962 and the round one relates to Brussels, 1959).</span></b><br />

</div>
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Exonumists are not badly spelt economists but are in fact collectors of exonumia . Usually that means tokens, though strictly speaking exonumia is a term referring to "numismatic items other than coins or paper money". </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b>
<b>I myself dabble in collecting tokens a bit and also buy and sell them as part of our business.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b>
<b>We will feature more of these items in the future but for the meantime here is a picture of some transport tokens issued by the Conestoga Transportation Company ;</b></span> <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">As far as I can make out, collecting American transportation tokens is not widespread amongst UK exonumists, certainly nowhere near as popular as, say, Co-op tokens, market tokens and the like. Still, they are do have a certain appeal.</span></b></div>

<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Which brings me nicely to this rather likeable copy of Simon Drews` Still Warthogs Run Deep, signed by the author in his trademark green ink.</span></strong><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: medium;">Collecting Uncirculated (UNC) banknotes is an ideal hobby for anyone short of funds or storage space, an the notes themselves are often very attractive.</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Often the most attractive notes come from the poorest countries, probably because sales of UNC notes are a useful source of much-needed revenue for them.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>The notes in our picture are Trinidad and Tobago $1 notes, dated 2006. They are especially interesting as they feature addition features not seen in some earlier versions of this note, which were introduced to make it more difficult to deter counterfeiters.</b></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It`s always a good feeling when a customer gets in touch to express their appreciation, so we were glad to hear from Andy J, who had recently purchased some uncirculated banknotes for his collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Andy contacted us "to say how very very very very pleased I am with all the purchased notes. Very crisp, clean notes, efficient and excellent service. ". </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Contacted to ask if he minded being quoted he responded "I have no objection to you using me as a quote, I was only telling the truth.".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks to Andy for his generous comments and for his continued support.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">That brings me to some banknotes we have recently added to our listings, a selection of which are pictured here ;</span> <br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In truth, uncirculated banknotes have been selling well recently, and this little top-up order of around 24 notes will be followed by further acquisitions soon so we can</span><span style="font-size: large;"> continue to provide collectors with the range of choice they want.</span> <br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">At any given time you can always find a supply of Egyptian banknotes and First Day Covers among our listings. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Recently we were lucky enough to acquire a job lot of Egyptian FDCs dating from the period 1958 - 1966 to add to our existing stock, which tend to be mostly modern. Putting them all online </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">is time-consuming but we are making good progress.</span></strong><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Collecting uncirculated banknotes has become a popular hobby in recent times, no doubt due to the affordability and attractiveness of many of the notes on offer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Budding collectors are presented with an almost mind-boggling level of choice often for a very limited outlay.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I myself began a collection a while ago and it seemed natural as our business began to diversify to begin to deal in them myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are a few recent additions to our stock ; </span><br />

<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">Each week, we`re planning to highlight one item from our stock of badges, books, First Day Covers and Banknotes.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">This week we have selected this American badge from a branch of Lions Clubs International ;</span></strong> <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">It relates to a particular Lions Club branch in Chicago, which seems to have a strongly Hispanic American membership.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">The Branch is identified on the badge (Chicago District 1A), as is the year (1980). Around the edge of the badge are a variety of phrases representing different aspects of HIspanic American culture ( Pan American / Azteca / Jose Marti / Borinquen etc). </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">The badge is clean, intact and undamaged with only light wear. </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">Along with a selection of other items from our stock, this badge can be found at ;</span></strong> <br />

<strong><span style="color: blue;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">There have been a number of changes in the last six months.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">The major one is that we are no longer a business that deals only in books. After a few false starts we have re-invented ourselves as Hoonaloon Collectables, dealers in books, badges, banknotes, tokens, first day covers and related items.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Following on from that we no longer trade on book trade sites such as ABE, Antiqbook and Mare Libri. The reason is the obvious one, that such sites are really geared up for the needs of sellers of books and related materials and not for those of us who need to list a variety of types of items.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">We can be found here ;</span> <a href="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/hoonalooncollectables"><span style="color: black;">http://stores.ebay.co.uk/hoonalooncollectables</span></a> </strong><br />

Our intention with these is to provide a range of inexpensive items aimed primarily at those just starting a new collection. Most are attractive and many have historical interest in one way or another.</span></strong> <br />

<strong><span style="color: blue;">We also stock a range of badges, both military and non-military. One of the more interesting is the badge pictured above, which commemorates STS-44, a Space Shuttle Flight which took place in 1991.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;"> We have a few other badges with a space travel theme, and many originating with clubs and associations, whether that be Bowls Clubs, Trade Unions, Lions Clubs or others too numerous to mention. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Given our background in the book trade it would be surprising if we didn`t have a range of book available. Our current stock includes a number of signed books, proof copies and titles relating to the history of the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area.</span></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">A few of these are pictured below ;</span> </strong><br />

<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">Apologies for the absence of new postings to our blog/newsletter in recent times.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">The reason is that we are diversifying our business to incorporate a wider range of collectables - banknotes, coins, tokens, badges etc - in addition to our continuing book sales business. </span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">It`s quite a steep learning curve !</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">The next posting here will reflect the full range of our actvities and will hopefully appear before too long. </span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">All the Best,</span></em></strong><br />

<strong><span style="color: black;">Hello and welcome to the latest Hoonaloon Books Newsletter.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">This month we`re going to start with some news, then hear from a satisfied customer. After that, we`ll look at some recent additions to our stock and then I`ll just provide the usual links etc so that you can access our catalogue.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="color: blue;">News</span></u></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">This is not really anything to do with our business, but I thought it might be of interest.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">Over the last month or so, along with a number of others, including authors Ray Elmitt and Keith `Chap O`Keefe` Chapman, I`ve been involved in seeing to it that a previously unpublished story by the late Walter Tyrer is made available to the reading public for the first time.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">I`m pleased to say that our efforts have been crowned with success, thanks in part to the enthusiastic support of Walters` daughter Jennifer de Fries.</span></strong><br />

<strong> </strong><strong><u><span style="color: blue;">The Satisfied Customer</span></u></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">As I`ve mentioned before, selling things online can seem a touch impersonal, so its` always good to hear from happy people who`ve made online acquisitions at our esteemed online emporium.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">Such a man is Robert from Newmarket who purchased a formidably weighty volume from us not so long ago. </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">Robert was kind enough to get in touch to say "The book is exactly as your description and I am delighted with it." </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">Contacted to ask if we could quote him, he responded "I`m perfectly happy for you to quote me. It was a prompt and painless experience buying from you (and you can quote me on that if you like)."</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">Thanks to Robert for that, and also the customers who agreed to be quoted in previous newsletters.</span></strong><br />

<strong><em><span style="color: black;">Welcome once again to the maelstrom of magnificence that is the <span style="color: blue;">Hoonaloon Books Blog</span> !</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">First up, we reflect on comments received from some satisfied customers who have kindly agreed to be quoted in this online epistle ; </span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em> <span style="color: red;"> **** ***** ***** *****</span> </em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">"Many thanks indeed for the two books. They arrived on Wednesday, both in excellent condition...As before, thank you for taking such great care over the packaging. I`ve bought quite a lot of books online, but very few have been as well packaged as these were. I`m extremely pleased with both these books, and look forward to reading them at the earliest opportunity."</span> </em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"> NC from Bristol</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">"I just wanted to say a great big thank you for your fantastic speedy service. My daughter has texted me to say she has received the book we ordered yesterday and is thrilled. Thank you so much. "</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">Brenda </span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">(On being asked for her agreement to being quoted, Brenda was kind enough to add "I was thrilled you were able to help and so willingly. It`s like a breath of fresh air today."</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;"> I have been called many things in my time, but "breath of fresh air" is a new one !)</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">"I`m pleased to say the book arrived this morning - thank you so much ! I will most certainly call you first when I need new books."</span></em></strong><br />

<strong><em><span style="color: black;">In common decency, I should make it clear that we can`t take all the credit for these words of praise- Post Office Counters Ltd, Royal Mail and, occasionally, the courier Collect Plus all do their bit too !</span></em></strong><br />

<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">First up we have number</span> 6167, Turner and others - The Story of Large Print - Ulverscroft, Leics, 1999.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">An unusual book. The first part of the book, unsurprisingly, tells the story of Ulverscroft Large Print Books, a Leicestershire-based company. The second part, largely written by Prof Ralph Rosenthal, deals with visual impairment, and the third part comprises five short stories ; The Cat that Walked by Himself (Rudyard Kipiling) , Lucky Cat (Charlotte Wallace), Dick Baker`s Cat (Mark Twain), The Wolves of Cernogratz (Saki) and The Ferry (Joan Aiken).</span></em></strong> <br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">There must be a danger here of not so much `falling between two stools` as having a similar mishap between three of the aforementioned seating items ! Nevertheless, this is an unusual and intriguing publication.</span></em></strong> <br />

<strong><em><span style="color: black;">This versatile young woman`s unusual skills aside, this brings us to the interesting subject of Advance Review Copies and Uncorrected Proof Copies</span> (</em></strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_copy"><strong><em><span style="color: blue;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_copy</span></em></strong></a><strong><em>).</em></strong> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><strong><em>These differ from the `normal` edition in many ways. Some have plain covers, often cheaply produced, with lettering but no artwork.</em></strong> </span><strong><em><span style="color: black;">Some have the same, or similar, artwork to the finished product, but others have quite different designs. Some publishers have a generic design they use for all their ARCs.</span> </em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">Inevitably, something that began as a purely practical matter is now sometimes treated as a marketing tool, so you get such relatively new phenomena as the `numbered, limited edition proof copy` which is plainly not a proof copy in the original sense of the phrase.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">Collecting proof copies is not as popular a passtime as it once was, but is still an affordable and pleasant hobby. Handily, we habitually have a supply of these delectable items in stock.</span></em></strong><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: blue;">The Farming Press began in 1959 when Bradbury Agnew, publishers of Punch and The Countryman, purchased and renamed Dairy Farmer Ltd, a specialist publisher of agricultural books and magazines.</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><span style="color: blue;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><strong> The company had considerable success with the published works of vet <span style="color: black;">Eddie Straiton</span>, a popular TV personality of the `60s, and d</strong><strong>uring the early `80s found a new star in the person of Northumbian cartoonist <span style="color: black;">Henry Brewis</span>. While the bulk of the FP`s output continued to be non-fiction/agriculture, they also began to issue more accessible titles, usually humorous in tone, aimed at the general reader. An advantage here was that <span style="color: black;">Henry Brewis</span> was happy to supplement his income from his own books by illustrating the works of others.</strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><span style="color: blue;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: blue;">During it`s existence, the company changed hands many times - perhaps too may times - eventually becoming part of Miller Freeman/United Business Media. In 1997 the parent company made a number of FP staff in Ipswich redundant, prompting the departure of Roger Smith, manager of Farming Press Books and Videos since 1979. Smith claimed, with some justification it seems, that the parent company were prioritising short-term profit over growth. He subsequently founded his own company, Old Pond Publishing, which he still runs today.</span> </strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><span style="color: blue;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: blue;">In 2002 Farming Press ceased trading. The rights to their books now reverted to the authors which left them free to find another outlet if they saw fit to do so.</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><span style="color: blue;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Here at Hoonaloon, we are happy to be able to offer a number of titles published by the FP ;</span> </strong></div>

<strong></strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong></strong> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: blue;">These are not expensive titles, but they have a certain appeal, being what I would think of as a `Sunday afternoon read`, ideal for half a days relaxation.</span></strong></div>

<strong><span style="color: black;">On a personal note, I have to say that it`s a pleasure to be dealing with Antiqbook once again as our previous experience of them was very positive.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">It is also a matter of personal satisfaction to be part of Local Studies UK, a project which I wholeheartedly support and which I hope will prosper. It will certainly to a great asset to anyone intersted in local history, whether they are academics or ordinary enthusiasts.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">Having set metaphorical pen to paper, I`ll just take this opportunity to show you a few of the titles we have added to our listings over the last couple of days ;</span> </strong><br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"></span><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">After a rather more lengthy break than usual, here`s the latest Hoonaloon News, full of bits and bobs and odds and sods guaranteed to raise your spirits in these troubled and troubling times.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">As regular readers of our online epistle will know, at any given time we have 4,000 - 5,000 titles in stock. All are physically present in the UK on our shelves - we don`t do drop-shipping or any variation thereof.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">To view our entire stock, click here ;</span> </em></strong><br />

<strong></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong> <span style="color: purple;"> *** *** *** *** ***</span> </strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">Following on from that, here are a selection of recently acquired items you may wish to see. I have no real process for selecting which items to feature, though I do like to include a couple of lower price items.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSekrA5BntLStULcY2pkVGw6Ju5cz8QP8TKe15Camq3P_BMG5bz3m35ZsisxL8Ws0KUV52eOZxjLHweOnNEF4JrSe40hjvvAzj-3ZwJd6WpgAJYRxeDteelmbeWt-7xFm0Azs9Cr38Tsrz/s1600/5957.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSekrA5BntLStULcY2pkVGw6Ju5cz8QP8TKe15Camq3P_BMG5bz3m35ZsisxL8Ws0KUV52eOZxjLHweOnNEF4JrSe40hjvvAzj-3ZwJd6WpgAJYRxeDteelmbeWt-7xFm0Azs9Cr38Tsrz/s320/5957.jpg" width="227" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">At 5957 in our listings we have `Lion People ; Intercosmic Messages from the Future` by Murry Hope. Ms Hope, sometimes also known as Athene Williams, was a member of a group called The Atlanteans, described as a `spiritual and healing` group, but eventually departed their ranks citing differences between Christian members and others, like herself, who leaned more towards Paganism.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">Prior to that, perhaps surprisingly, she had been involved with the Women`s Royal Air Force and the British Legion.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">Her varied interests included Ancient Egypt and the Gaia movement.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />

<br />
<br />
<em><strong><span style="color: blue;">If inter-cosmic message are not your thing, why not consider collecting old buttons ? It used to fashionable to sneer at this sort of thing (particularly among those who had no interests of their own !) but I like this charming little booklet, not least because author Primrose Peacock sounds like a character from a P G Wodehouse novel. </span></strong></em><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">`Discovering Old Buttons` can be found at 5976 in our listings.</span></em></strong><br />

<br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">At 5987 we find Lawrence D Hills` `Fertility Finder ; The Good Plant Food Guide for Gardeners` (Henry Doubleday Research Association, undated).</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">This is a reprint of a booklet previously entitled `The Sludge Guide` (Observer, 1961) and contains he authors` thoughts on such subjects as Sludge and How to Use It, Compost From the Council, Sludge Suppliers, Municipal Compost Suppliers and much else.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">Tempting though it is to poke fun at this unusual item, we should hesitate before we dismiss it out of hand. </span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">Lawrence D Hills was a founder of the Henry Doubleday Research Association. He wrote many books and booklets on organic gardening and farming and was gardening correspondent for The Observer. </span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">Henry Doubleday himself was an English scientist and horticulturalist , not to be confused with his cousin, also named Henry Doubleday, who was a noted expert on insects and birds.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">The Henry Doubleday Research Association still exists, though it is better known by it`s trading name, Garden Organic. Its` activities range from an enquiry service for budding organic gardeners to projects promoting sustainable agriculture in Africa, Asia and Latin America.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">I had never heard of the HDRA until yesterday, but I like it already !</span></em></strong><br />

<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">This month we`re having a change of approach and taking a look at some of the pamphlets we have in stock.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">There`s a lot to be said for the humble pamphlet. They`re normally cheap to produce and cheap to acquire. Within their pages all manner of views and attitudes can be encountered, and the format obliges their authors to express themselves with brevity.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">Why waste your time and money on the outpourings of over-paid pundits ? The time is right to rummage in the pamphlet box. It`s contents are affordable, take up little space and don`t need to be fed.</span></em></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: blue;">Here are a few examples of the pamphleteers` art, currently in stock at Hoonaloon Books at very reasonable prices. </span></em></strong><br />

<strong><span style="color: blue;">Personally, I`ve come to the age where I prefer moths to butterflies, but Kelam and Wood`s `Butterflies Shown to the Children` (5640 in our listings) is a visual treat by anyone`s standards. I think this is a case where a couple of pictures are worth more than a whole bunch of words, so here are said images.</span></strong></div>

<strong><em></em></strong><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">Elizabeth Goudge (Elizabeth de Beauchamp Goudge) was an English author of novels, short stories and children`s books. Her career received a posthumous boost when it was found that a modern author, whose books were critically very well-received, had lifted vast tracts of her work word for word ! </span></em></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><em></em></strong><span style="color: black;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong><em><span style="color: black;">Goudge was an unusually prolific writer who still commands a loyal following decades after her death </span><span style="color: blue;">(see </span><a href="http://www.elizabethgoudge.org/"><span style="color: blue;">www.elizabethgoudge.org</span></a><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: blue;">).</span> I doubt very much that she was writing for posterity, or for critics, but life`s like that !</span></em></strong></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"><em><strong>Elisabeth Hargreaves is often remembered as a writer of romantic fiction. As is so often the case, convenient pigeon-holes are not always accurate.
