Commissioned as a techno-thriller at a moment when Rankin was still finding his footing as a writer, it was reworked so extensively at the publisher's direction that he later said it no longer felt like his own work — and he expected it to disappear without trace. The novel centres on a British spy satellite called Zephyr that goes inexplicably dark for three minutes and forty seconds, and on the two men — ground controller Martin Hepton and the sole British survivor of a crashed American space shuttle — who piece together what that interruption conceals. The conspiracy they uncover reaches into the highest levels of British and American intelligence at a moment when transatlantic relations are fracturing and American troops are withdrawing from Europe.

By that point he had become, as the reissue's marketing noted, Britain's number-one crime writer.

His watercolours, by contrast, have been somewhat overshadowed in the public record by his more notorious productions — the oils and etchings of Bacchanalian subjects that attracted censorship and controversy throughout his working life and that have tended to define the popular understanding of his art. This volume addresses that imbalance with considerable authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 135 watercolours reproduced here, selected and documented by Lin Bloomfield from public galleries and private collections across Australia, cover the full arc of Lindsay's working life from 1897 to 1969 — from the earliest surviving student work of an eighteen-year-old in Creswick, through the long middle period at Faulconbridge in the Blue Mountains, to the works of his final years. The range of subject matter is characteristic of Lindsay's restless imagination: scenes from Greek and Roman mythology, Old Testament episodes rendered with the same absence of conventional piety he brought to everything, piracy and maritime adventure, figures from classical literature, and the figures — predominantly female, predominantly nude, predominantly at leisure in a landscape of Arcadian abundance — that recur throughout his work as embodiments of a particular aesthetic vision that Lindsay held with absolute consistency from his twenties to his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat the watercolour medium reveals about Lindsay that the etchings conceal is the quality of his colour sensibility. The etchings are masterworks of tonal control in black and white; the watercolours show a colourist of genuine subtlety, working with the translucency of the medium to achieve atmospheric effects quite different from those available to him in oil or in etching. Several of the works reproduced here are drawn from private collections and have rarely if ever been publicly exhibited, giving the volume documentary value beyond its appeal as a production object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eLin Bloomfield, the author of the scholarly apparatus accompanying the reproductions, had a long association with the Lindsay family and is among the foremost authorities on his work.

Founded in London in 1926 by Jack Lindsay, with financial support from P. R. Stephensen and the backing of his father Norman's reputation, it set out to produce limited editions of classical and Renaissance texts in a style that fused the ideals of the private press movement with the Dionysian sensibility that Norman Lindsay had been embodying in Australian art for two decades. The press took its name from a medieval French term for a jester's ornament and its productions were consistently among the most handsome of their period: typographically distinguished, explicitly erotic in many cases, and designed to shock the respectable reader as much as to delight the cultivated one. It operated until 1930, producing forty-three titles in four years, and its publications are among the most sought-after Australian fine press books of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEkklesiazousai\u003c\/em\u003e — variously translated as \u003cem\u003eAssemblywomen\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWomen of the Assembly\u003c\/em\u003e, or \u003cem\u003eWomen in Parliament\u003c\/em\u003e — was written by Aristophanes around 392 BC and is among his later and stranger comedies. Praxagora, a citizen woman of Athens, leads the women of the city in a conspiracy: dressing as men, they infiltrate the assembly before dawn and pass a resolution handing control of the state to the women. Once in power, they institute a radical programme of collective ownership: all private property to be held in common, and an equally radical reorganisation of sexual life, by which the young and beautiful are required to satisfy the old and ugly before satisfying each other. The play is a comedy of inversions, using the fantasy of female governance to examine the pretensions of Athenian democracy and the absurdities of utopian thought with the same irreverence Aristophanes brought to everything. Jack Lindsay's translation retains the play's linguistic energy and its willingness to be vulgar in the service of laughter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eJack Lindsay (1900–1990), Norman's eldest son, was born in Brisbane and educated in Queensland before joining his father in Sydney and subsequently emigrating to England in 1926 to help found the Fanfrolico Press. He went on to write over 170 books across his long career,becoming one of the most prolific and wide-ranging British writers of his generation. His classical translations, produced in the late 1920s and early 1930s, are among the finest of their period in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNorman Lindsay (1879–1969) needs little introduction to Australian readers, and none at all to collectors of Australian art. His etchings for the Fanfrolico Press editions are among the most significant contributions to Australian illustrated book production of the twentieth century. In this edition they provide an accompaniment to Aristophanes' comedy that is, in the best sense of the word, perfectly inappropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe unnumbered presentation copy status places this volume outside the regular limitation sequence — a copy set aside from the edition for distribution at the discretion of the press or its principals, and carrying with it the additional interest of an unknown specific recipient.

A tale of supernatural crime and punishment set on a becalmed sea, narrated by a mariner compelled to repeat his story to strangers until the end of time, haunted by what he did to an albatross and what that act cost him and everyone around him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eColeridge was twenty-five when he wrote it, and it is one of those poems that seems to have arrived fully formed from somewhere not entirely explained by the ordinary processes of literary composition. It has attracted illustrators from Gustave Doré onwards, each bringing their own understanding of its particular quality of nightmare. Harry Brockway — beloved for his wood-engravings for the Folio Society's Frankenstein, also in this collection — brings a printmaker's sensibility to the task: dense, darkly atmospheric plates in which the supernatural elements are handled with restraint, allowing the horror to accumulate in the margins of things seen rather than in direct confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Folio Society's decision to print the text on verso pages only, leaving each recto facing blank, is a considered one: it gives the reader space to sit with the poem before turning the page, and ensures that when a plate appears it commands the full attention of the opening.

It is a deceptively gentle work. On its surface it follows Mole, Rat, Badger, and the incorrigible Mr. Toad through the seasons along an English river — a world of picnics, open roads, and the deep security of burrows and boat-houses. Beneath that, it is a sustained meditation on friendship, belonging, and the particular consolations of the natural world. The chapter known as \"The Piper at the Gates of Dawn,\" in which Mole and Rat encounter Pan at daybreak, stands as one of the strangest and most genuinely numinous passages in English children's literature — a moment in which the book briefly becomes something else entirely, and then quietly resumes. A. A. Milne's stage adaptation, \u003cem\u003eToad of Toad Hall\u003c\/em\u003e, ran in the West End for decades; E. H. Shepard's illustrations, produced twenty years after first publication, became so thoroughly associated with the text that they are now nearly inseparable from it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eTo mark the centenary in 2008, the Folio Society commissioned the Canadian artist and illustrator Charles van Sandwyk to create an entirely new suite of illustrations for a limited edition of 1,000 copies. Van Sandwyk produced over a hundred original images for the edition — sixteen full-colour plates mounted on thick paper stock, together with more than forty chapter headpieces and tailpieces — in a style that draws on the English watercolour tradition while remaining distinctly his own: warm, intimate, and alert to the particular light of Grahame's riverbank. The edition has come to be regarded as one of the most distinguished illustrated versions of the text, holding its own against the Shepard and Rackham associations that have long defined the book's visual identity.

The Tour of the Americas, known to those who were there as T.O.T.A. '75, ran across forty shows from June to August, introducing their newest member Ronnie Wood to American audiences and presenting, on a series of ever more elaborately designed stages, a band at the peak of its powers and its appetite for spectacle. The tour's logistics were as theatrical as its performances: the band, their entourage, and their invited companions travelled aboard a specially commissioned Boeing 720 rechristened the Starship, equipped with a piano bar, deep carpeting, swivel armchairs, and a bedroom suite. It was less a means of transport than a declaration of intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eChristopher Sykes was brought along as the tour's official chronicler — a trusted friend with a photographer's eye and a documentarian's instinct for what would matter when the music stopped. For the full duration of the forty-show run, he was embedded with the band, travelling on the Starship, present at rehearsals and press encounters and the countless hours of waiting and movement that constitute the vast majority of any touring musician's experience. The photographs he made during those months — a substantial archive of which had never been published before this Genesis Publications volume — record the tour from the inside: not the stage-managed images of official photographers but the candid visual diary of a companion who was trusted enough to be unseen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe text of the book draws on Sykes's personal diary entries made during the tour, giving the photographs a narrative and contextual frame that promotional photography by definition cannot provide.

Where his contemporaries at the Heidelberg School — Roberts, Streeton, McCubbin — were engaged in rendering the Australian landscape with the clear-eyed directness of the plein-air tradition, Long was asking a different question: what would happen if Pan came to the eucalyptus forest? What would happen if the spirit presiding over the Australian bush were not a weather-beaten selector or a drover's wife but a nude figure playing pipes while children danced in the heat haze beneath the gum trees?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHis answer was \u003cem\u003ePan\u003c\/em\u003e (1898), the painting that made his reputation and that remains his best-known work: a panoramic horizontal canvas in which a young woman plays pan-pipes in a luminous golden landscape of native grasses and silhouetted eucalypts, while a procession of distant nude figures moves across the middle ground in a sinuous, decorative line. The work won the Wynne Prize — awarded for the best landscape painting of the year — and announced a sensibility that was both authentically Australian in its observation of light and country, and thoroughly international in its awareness of what Gustave Moreau and the Pre-Raphaelites and the Vienna Secession were doing to the figure in landscape. Long won the Wynne Prize four times in total, a record that reflects the consistency and the depth of his engagement with the Australian landscape as a subject over more than a decade of sustained production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFrom approximately 1906 Long turned primarily to etching and printmaking, and the Sydney Harbour etchings and drypoints he produced over the following decades constitute an equally significant body of work — meticulous, atmospheric, technically accomplished — that is now highly sought after in the print market. He taught at East Sydney Technical College for many years, shaping several generations of Australian artists, and remained a respected figure in Sydney's art world until his death in 1955.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eJoanna Mendelssohn's monograph, published by Copperfield Publishing in 1979, was the first comprehensive scholarly account of Long's life and work and remains the standard reference on the subject. Copperfield Publishing, the Sydney-based fine art press, produced the book in two formats: a trade edition and the signed limited deluxe edition offered here, bound in full crushed Morocco and limited to 275 copies. The reproduction quality throughout is excellent; the plates — glossy, vivid, and printed with the care the subject demands — do full justice to Long's colour and line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNear fine.
