A facsimile guide to the "Gents Loos of London" published originally in 1937 by Routledge. Hailed as the first queer city guide, "For Your Convenience" was first published in 1937.

This is a summary/study guide of Don Quixote. Don Quixote is the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon.

Ossman & Steel's Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms.

Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day "backwoods" healers interested in using them today.
