The New Life (La Vita Nuova) -
Dante Alighieri. Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti (translator)
c. 1915 - George G. Harrap & Co, New York
Written by Dante over a ten year period from 1283, as an expression of the mediaeval genre of courtly love in a prosimetrum style, a combination of both prose and verse. The most appropriate translator is Dante Rossetti, English poet, illustrator, and painter. He founded the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in 1848 with William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais, and was later to be the main inspiration for a second generation of artists and writers influenced by the movement, most notably William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones. His work also influenced the European Symbolists and was a major precursor of the Aesthetic movement.
A wonderfully produced work, with the illustrations and designs of Evelyn Paul, whose role model was Rossetti. Musical score by Alfred Mercer.

Thomas Elliston
1894 - Weekes & Co., London - First Edition
Elliston was organist of St. Gregory’s in Sudbury. This appears to be a late issue, as adverts contain selections from reviews extolling Elliston’s work.
An important book, widely quoted and utilised by contemporary and later organ makers and organists, with second and third editions published in 1895. Elliston was also active in proposing and developing improvements to the instrument, as can be seen in the letter sent to the Musical Times of April 1, 1879 - assuming of course that it is not the obvious.

31 Songs -
Nick Hornby
2003 - Viking Press, London - First Edition
'I decided that I wanted to write a little book of essays about songs I loved ... Songs are what I listen to, almost to the exclusion of everything else.'
In his first non-fiction work since Fever Pitch, Nick Hornby writes about 31 songs that either have some great significance in his life - or are just songs that he loves. He discusses, among other things, guitar solos and losing your virginity to a Rod Stewart song and singers whose teeth whistle and the sort of music you hear in Body Shop.
