Unrecorded Catalogue of Remainders from 1943

Remainder Centre Ltd. Catalogue, for sale

Catalogue of Books of World Wide Interest from Remainder Centre Ltd.

Remainder Centre Ltd. London, 1943

The date is not stated on the catalogue. A book advertised on the back cover is ’Published pre-war’ and inside the front cover this catalogue is numbered 1/43.

This is a fascinating insight into the history of the distribution of remaindered books. The catalogue, which I have never seen before, states specifically that it is for retail customers, and a loose order form is enclosed at the front. Read more about Unrecorded Catalogue of Remainders from 1943

Troubridge, Amy

Compositions and Working Papers.

  A collection of many hundreds of pages of manuscript material by this gifted female composer, focusing on four works.  Two of the works are present in finished form, one in full orchestral score.  The most interesting of these works, The Teraph, can be largely reconstructed from the vocal and orchestral parts.  At times she reaches out from the conventional, drawing on folk music, with echos of Wagner and Liszt.
