Publishers' Binding Thursday

This week's publishers' binding is Tommy and Grizel by Scottish novelist and playwright J.M. Barrie (1860-1937). This is the first American edition of Tommy and Grizel, which was published in 1900 by Charles Scribner's Sons. The illustrator is not named in the book but we found out that the illustrations are by English cartoonist and illustrator Bernard Partridge. Some of the illustrations are quite strange, featuring ghostly figures and strange captions like "'I woke up,' she said."

The cover was designed and is signed by renowned publishers' binding designed by Margaret Armstrong—her signature MA stamp can be seen in the bottom left of the design. The design includes leafy vines with berries on them (perhaps a nod to Barrie's name?), a shield with two 3-leaved clovers in black and gold, and the title and author's name. On the spine the title and author's name are again stamped in gold accompanied by a floral decoration. The cover is a warm brown book cloth.

Growing Up in 70s Television: The Addictive Glory of Marshall, Schwartz, Larson, and Slade

The 1970s in the United States, as seen through the innocent, yet perceptive eyes of a child, was a period marked by profound cultural, political, and religious shifts. The 1970s were a decade where the vibrant promises of the 60s’ counterculture movements began to clash with the realities of ongoing political strife and societal change. The Vietnam War lingered in the background, its echoes felt…

Дафл — это сорт грубой шерсти бурого верблюжьего цвета, названный в честь города Дюффеля в Бельгии, в котором к концу позапрошлого столетия находились фабрики по производству шерсти. Здесь и закупал шерсть для производства рыбацких курток англичанин Джон Партридж, которому, по мнению различных источников, принадлежит авторство разработки классического кроя дафлкота. Во время Первой мировой войны дафлкот был утвержден, как униформа для матросов и офицеров Британского Королевского военно-морского флота. За это время и материя, и пальто настолько сроднились с образом моряка, что словом «дафл» начали обозначать и самих моряков и матросские сундуки. Настоящую популярность этой одежде принёс фельдмаршал Бернард Лоу Монтгомери, уже во время Второй Мировой Войны. Именно благодаря фельдмаршалу дафлкот долгое время называли monty coat.

Duffle is a type of coarse wool of brown camel color, named after the city of Duffel in Belgium, where wool factories were located at the end of the century before last. It was here that the Englishman John Partridge, who, according to various sources, is the author of the development of the classic cut of the duffle coat, purchased wool for the production of fishermen's jackets. During the First World War, the duffle coat was approved as a uniform for sailors and officers of the British Royal Navy. During this time, both the material and the coat became so closely associated with the image of a sailor that the word "duffle" began to mean both the sailors themselves and sailor's chests. Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery brought real popularity to this clothing, already during the Second World War. It was thanks to the field marshal that the duffle coat was called a monty coat for a long time.

The Allahakbarries was an amateur cricket team founded by author J. M. Barrie, and was active from 1890 to 1913. The team's name was a portmanteau of Barrie's name and the mistaken belief that 'Allah akbar' meant 'Heaven help us' in Arabic (rather than its true meaning: 'God is great'). Notable figures to have featured for the side included Rudyard Kipling, H. G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, A. A. Milne, E. W. Hornung, Henry Justice Ford, A. E. W. Mason, Walter Raleigh, E. V. Lucas, Maurice Hewlett, Owen Seaman, George Cecil Ives, and George Llewelyn Davies, as well as the son of Alfred Tennyson.

Barrie's enthusiasm for the game eclipsed his talent for it; asked to describe his bowling, he replied that after delivering the ball he would go and sit on the turf at mid-off and wait for it to reach the other end which "it sometimes did". The team played for the love of the game, rather than the results it achieved, and Barrie was generous in his praise for his teammates and opposition alike. He praised one teammate's performance by observing that "You scored a good single in the first innings but were not so successful in the second" while he lauded the opposition's effort by pointing out how "You ran up a fine total of 14, and very nearly won". He instructed Bernard Partridge, an illustrator from Punch magazine who was afflicted with a lazy eye, to "Keep your eye on square leg" while bowling, and told square leg, "when Partridge is bowling, keep your eye on him." He forbade his team to practise on an opponent's ground before a match because "this can only give them confidence".

The Subway Sect Mark II shattered after performing their Club Left 'Songs For Sale' set in Paris in 1981 as captured by Sarah Partridge (photo no.1).

So what did punks do after the early days of filth and fury? By ’78, the early UK punk scene was already fracturing: after the Pistols crashed & burned, a fraternity of post punk musicians attempted to break from punk clichés and experiment with non-rock styles, Crass declared that punk was dead, as did Pete Shelley with Buzzcocks entering their pop punk formative phase while street punk and Oi! Bands attempted to redefine punk.

Vic Godard was there right from the very start, since his Subway Sect were among the performers at the legendary 100 Club ’76 Punk Festival sharing the bill with Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Clash and the Sex Pistols.

theguardian.com/ : “Vic, in league with Bernie Rhodes, was thinking of an even more shocking revolt against conventional taste: cocktail jazz. Rhodes persuaded Godard to ditch the original Sect and hired a fresh group of musicians with a little more swing than the original band. One of the first public expressions of this was Club Left, a regular night that ran at the Whisky a Go Go in Soho as the ‘80s began. The idea was to annoy everyone. But this sonic handbrake turn went on to point a lot of music – and a lot of punks – in a very different direction.”

The Clash’s manager Bernard Rhodes recruited keyboardist Dave Collard (photo no.2 by Coneyl Jay), bassist Chris Bostock (photo no.3 by Ian Usher), guitarist Rob Marche (photo no.4) and drummer Sean McLusky (photo no.5), key members of various Bristol groups, who along with Vic Godard formed a new incarnation of Subway Sect with a completely different sound influenced by ’40s-style crooner music mixed with jazz, soul, rockabilly and skiffle, which was referred to as ‘Cool Bop and Swing’. These cool cats, a London ‘Rat Pack’ with Johnny Britton as the regular Club Left DJ, even toured extensively and their refined set became the “Songs for Sale” album.

“I remember looking down from the club’s floor-to-ceiling window one night just before opening, and seeing a queue stretching round the corner into Shaftesbury Avenue. We attracted an amazingly eclectic crowd, and you never knew who would turn up together with our hard-core regulars…”. Rob Marche “Club Left hosted a weekly array of great performers. If it had an ethos, it was a simple nod to the Beatnik past of Soho and Paris of the 60's”. Sean McLusky

The far-retro Club Left project reintroduced various people to easy listening. Artists such as Sade or the group of young women, who had supplied occasional backing vocals for the likes of Shane McGowan’s first band, the Nipple Erectors, and went on to become Bananarama. When Vic Godard got married and took a break from music in ’82, the rest of the band with the addition of Dig Wayne became the JoBoxers, fusing elements of northern soul, rockabilly, NY disco and funk.

Xander is Joss’s insert or mouthpiece - 'If I have to look at Xander for one more minute I will explode. Yes I know he’s a main character. Yes I know that he’s probably in every episode of every season. I am in Hell.'

#WHYYYYY DOES HE GET SO MUCH SCREENTIME???#if there is one thing I'd bet my life on it's that xander is a self-insert for the person who made this show. idk who that was but I can -#tell they're infusing themselves in the narrative through him#anyways he's definitely a self-insert and also I just don't like him so whenever he's on screen I'm painfully aware of it

These are the same feelings I have about Danny Partridge - his character is the main focus of the show, basically a self-insert of the creator. i'm only halfway through season 1 and every episode is about DANNY, with the exception of one or two episodes. it's so obvious that it is painful (he does have some good moments but still !! so overwhelming) and when the storyline is about another character, suddenly danny becomes the centre of the episode.

"But oddly enough, everybody on that show was oddly enough connected to my family. My daughter's name is Laurie, her boyfriend was Keith. Our dog was called Simon, but they got a female dog so her name was Simone." - Bernard Slade, creator and writer.

Larry and his manager at Ripley 2000

Their dynamic reminds me of the trope in britcoms where there's a guy in power that abuses his authority, and his punching bag that does everything he wants.

Here are the ones that come to mind:

Alan Partridge and Lynn Benfield from the Alan Partridge series, and

Bernard Black and Manny Bianco from Black Books to name a couple.
