He found his vocation in buying and selling rare, second hand books. It was through his experience in finding that publications had a much greater re-sale value with the author's signature, that a lifelong obsession with autographs began. His essays featured in The Saturday Book 1945-1972, presenting his work on the same platform as major literary and artistic figures of postwar Britain./Ben Travers (1886Ð1980) was an English writer and playwright. His output includes more than 20 plays, 30 screenplays, 5 novels, and 3 volumes of memoirs. He is best remembered for his long-running series of farces first staged in the 1920s and 1930s at the Aldwych Theatre Very good. Slight lean. Covers slightly rubbed. Signedes.

"Henry Cockton (1807 - 26 June 1853) was an English novelist. Born in London, he is remembered as the author of The Life and Adventures of Valentine Vox, the Ventriloquist (1840) which was parodied by Timothy Portwine (pseudonym of Thomas Peckett Prest) as The Adventures of Valentine Vaux; or, the tricks of a Ventriloquist (1840). Other Cockton novels include Sylvester Sound, the Somnambulist, The Love Match, George St George Julian, The Prince, Lady Felicia: A Novel, Percy Effingham: Or, The Germ of the World`s Esteem, The Sisters; or, England and France, Stanley Thorn, and The Steward: A Romance of Real Life. Cockton`s death in Bury St Edmunds on 26 June 1853 was noted in The Times newspaper on Sat 2 July 1853. His remains were interred in the churchyard of the ruined abbey at Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. No stone marks his grave, but in 1884 a few admirers raised a tablet which is still seen today on the wall of the abbey`s charnel house." (Wikipedia). "ONWHYN, THOMAS (d. 1886), humorous draughtsman and engraver, born in London, was youngest son of Joseph Onwhyn, a bookseller and newsagent at 3 Catherine Street, Strand, London. The elder Onwhyn published a number of guides for tourists, chiefly compiled from his own notes and observationsto the Highlands (1829), Killarney (1838), Wales (1840), &c. When the 'Owl,' a society newspaper appearing on Wednesdays, was started in 1864, the elder Onwhyn was selected as its publisher. The success of the paper, however, affected his reason. The son, Thomas Onwhyn, attained some note early in life by contributing to a series of 'illegitimate' illustrations to works by Charles Dickens. He executed twenty-one of the whole series of thirty-two plates to the 'Pickwick Papers,' which were issued in eight (though intended to be in ten) monthly parts (at one shilling each, 8vo, two shillings India proof 4to), by E. Grattan, 51 Paternoster Row, in 1837; they are for the most part signed with the pseudonym 'Samuel Weller,' but some bear Onwhyn`s initials. In June 1838 Grattan issued a series of forty etchings by Onwhyn, illustrating 'Nicholas Nickleby;' these also appeared in parts, which were concluded in October 1839; some are signed with the pseudonym of 'Peter Palette.' After Onwhyn`s death an additional set of illustrations to 'Pickwick' was discovered which Onwhyn had executed in 1847; they had been laid aside owing to the republication of the original illustrations in 1848; they were published in 1893 by Albert Jackson, Great Portland Street. Onwhyn also published illustrations, under the name of 'Peter Palette,' to two series of a work entitled 'Peter Palette`s Tales and Pictures in Short Words for Young Folks' (1856). In his own name he contributed the illustrations to the humorous works of Henry Cockton [q. v.], such as 'Valentine Vox' (1840), 'Sylvester Sound' (1844), down to 'Percy Effingham' (1853). He also illustrated, among other works, the 'Memoirs of Davy Dreamy' (1839); the 'Maxims and Specimens of William Muggins,' by Charles Selby (1841); the 'Mysteries of Paris,' by Eugène Sue (1844); 'Etiquette illustrated by an X.M.P.' (1849); 'Marriage-à-la-Mode;' 'Mr. and Mrs. Brown`s Visit to the Exhibition, 1851;' and '300l. a Year, or Single and Married Life' (1859), &c. He sometimes etched the designs of others, as in 'Oakleigh, or the Minor of Great Expectations,' by W. H. Holmes (1843). Onwhyn was an indifferent draughtsman, but showed real humour in his designs. His fame was somewhat overshadowed by those of his most eminent contemporariesCruikshank, Hablot K. Browne, and others. Onwhyn, who drew also views of scenery for guide-books, letter-paper, &c., abandoned artistic work for the last twenty or thirty years of his life, and died on 5 Jan. 1886."

Excellent double album collecting Dizzy's first outings as leader, here with the signatures of Dizzy together with 10 other eminent participants seemingly fortuitously gathered at the Nice Jazz Festival in 1976, original photocopy programme for both days loosely inserted; Dexter Gordon, Shelly Manne, Percy Heath, Sonny Stitt, Harry Sweets Edison, Slam Stewart, John Lewis, Jimmy Heath, Milt Jackson & Sarah Vaughan. "All of trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie's earliest sessions as a leader, recordings that have greatly influenced jazz to the present time and set the standard for bebop. In addition to "Blue 'N' Boogie," there are seven classics with Charlie Parker (Sarah Vaughan guests on "Lover Man"), a session with Sonny Stitt and eight exciting big-band performances including "Things to Come." This essential music. concludes with three songs from a fun but less-significant small-group session from 1950" (Scott Yanow, allmusic). Wonderful collection of signatures from contributors to a sequence of ground-breaking recordings. 2 12-inch vinyl LP records in pictorial gatefold sleeve, lined paper sleeves. Disc rings to front and back slicks, some scuffing of the spine, discs in excellent condition, bright and scuff free, very good.
