"Life at Downe was terrifying, intimidating, overwhelming; it was also inspiring, thrilling, challenging and rewarding, and the place where I formed lifelong friendships, including one with the theatre." - Geraldine James (1962 - 1968). Olive Willis, founder of Downe House in 1907, was determined to create a school where each individual within the community mattered and where relations between staff and pupils should be normal. Her founding principles are very much in evidence a hundred years on. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. With the brilliant new Great North Museum project and a new Terry Farrell-designed Cultural Quarter for the city's Haymarket under way, the University of Newcastle upon Tyne stands as a key leader in the dynamic cultural and economic regeneration of Newcastle and the North East. Yet, the evolution of Newcastle's own University has been a slightly unusual process, in that it has not only celebrated a centenary in 1971, but can celebrate future anniversaries in 2008 (100 years), 2037 (100 years), 2034 (200 years), 2052 (200 years), and another centenary in 2063. Why this should be is only part of the story of this book, which for the first time offers a magnificently illustrated portrait of a much-loved institution. Much more than a history, the book draws on a wide range of contemporary archive and illustrative material to offer colourful glimpses of life and learning in the city of Newcastle from its Victorian industrial heyday to a vibrant present. In addition, Newcastle alumni of all generations have contributed their own memories to make this a truly representative volume. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Edited by Peter Pagnamenta, one of Britain's most distinguished documentary producers, this lavishly illustrated, beautifully designed and produced hardback volume traces the University's growth and development from its small beginnings to today's eminence and tomorrow's aspirations. Cambridge is one of the world's great universities, providing education, scholarship and research at the very highest level. Home to more Nobel laureates than any other institution, it attracts students and academics from across the globe and is internationally regarded as one of the major intellectual powerhouses extending the frontiers of knowledge. The book features expert, informative and entertaining contributions from leading Cambridge figures of every generation and offers a vibrant panorama of the past, present and future of a living community. "Suitably emollient on the whole, though with sharp edges in places, this compendium of low living and high thinking, of student press and Nobel Prizemen .will enjoy a wide readership." The Times Literary Supplement, 16 December 2009 "Chock-full of images and bursting with contributions from a veritable Who's Who of twentieth-century Cambridge alumni, Pagnamenta's book is entertaining, informative, and up-to-date. Four stars." Varsity, 30 January 2009 Edited by Peter Pagnamenta. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Founded in 1567 by Lawrence Sheriff, Grocer to Queen Elizabeth I, Rugby School grew to national fame under Dr Thomas Arnold in the early nineteenth-century as a model for progressive boarding school education, a model subsequently replicated throughout Britain and Empire. Rugby combines an illustrious past with a progressive spirit. Other famous names include the Doctor's fictional pupil Tom Brown, the legendary founder of rugby football William Webb Ellis, 'who with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time first took the ball in his arms and ran with it', and literary luminaries like the poet Rupert Brooke and children's author Lewis Carroll. Today Rugby maintains many valuable traditions such as the boarding house system, the cultivation of educated all-rounders and service to the community, but it is also seen as a leading coeducational boarding school, offering state-of-the-art facilities in many subjects (languages, science, sport, design) and taking a lead in the development of local inter-school partnership and access, through its Arnold Foundation, to less-well-off boys and girls who can benefit significantly from a boarding school education. Respect for tradition goes hand in hand with response to the needs of the modern world. This first full-colour celebration of Rugby School offers a richly illustrated and elegantly produced account of Rugby in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, with, in this case, a fine disregard for the rules of scientific scholarship as developed in our time. A distinctive feature of the book is its emphasis on the first-hand accounts of living Rugbeians of every age and stage - as well as the records of deceased Rugbeians - to give a vividly personal portrayal of School life as it was and is lived day-to-day. "This is the first book on Rugby School for 40 years and the response from all those who have bought it or seen it has been tremendous." Kerry Wilson, Development Director Book of the Month - Rugby World Magazine (June 2007 issue). The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Founded in 1511 according to the will (as interpreted by Bishop Fisher of Ely) of Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, St John's has grown steadily over the centuries to be the second largest Cambridge college. With its world famous choir, and distinguished alumni including the poet (William Wordsworth), five prime ministers, no fewer than eight Nobel laureates and at least one wizard (the astrologer John Dee, a favourite of Elizabeth I), St John's and Johnians can claim a notably eclectic tradition. St John's College, Cambridge - Excellence and Diversity celebrates that tradition, and conveys the life and spirit of the college in this beautifully illustrated volume. The voices of Johnians from all living generations, vividly recall their experiences of college and university life - the highs, the lows, work and play, college characters and personalities, the politics and the intrigues, the glimpses of the famous before they were famous, even the scandals - forming an unmissable record. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Vincent's Club was founded in 1863 above Vincent's the printers at 90 The High by the notably unconventional undergraduate oarsman Walter Bradford Woodgate of Brasenose College. Woodgate's vision was to bring together Oxford's leading one hundred sportsmen and, particularly, all-round characters, his 'originals', reflecting the founder's own lively disregard for convention. Vincent's, in Woodgate's own phrase, 'at once acquired a special prestige, which has never left it'. At its centenary in 1963, Vincent's members included the Prime Minister of the day, Harold Macmillan, his successor later that year, Alec Douglas-Home, and sportsmen such as the Olympian gold-medal winner and King of Norway, Olav V. In Vincent's: 1863 - 2013, Simon Lee has assembled a richly entertaining account of superhuman sporting feats, wild eccentricities, fascinating anecdotes and connections, as well as accounts of indomitable courage and endurance by and about Vincent's individuals. He identifies two great eras in the early history - that of the Pioneers (1863-1913), leading participants in the explosion of codified British sports in the mid-19th century, and that of the Heroes of two world wars and a hatful of Olympic medals (1913-63). At the same time, he shows convincingly that in the last five decades Vincent's members have continued to distinguish themselves well beyond their University careers at the highest level, whether in sport, the armed services, diplomacy, business, academia or politics - such as the new Prime Minister of Australia, elected in the Club's 150th year, as well as an earlier Australian Prime Minister who led the current Opposition party to four federal election successes in 1983, 1984, 1987 and 1990. With a cast composed of Prime Ministers, Presidents, ambassadors, Vice-Chancellors, international sporting champions, at least one Head of a Secret Service, CEOs and entrepreneurs, and not forgetting a walk-on part by the Beatles, this is a book which enshrines the ethos and spirit of the Club as it was, as it is, and as it will continue to be. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This handsome anthology, published to coincide with the school's 140th anniversary, will contain a wonderful collection of intimate, moving, funny and possibly outrageous memories from OEs, staff, parents, pupils and friends of the College. "Thirty years on, I look back at my days at Eastbourne College with considerable affection. Memories include treading the Big School boards, with much enthusiasm and little or no talent; cricket on College Field in the glorious summer of 1976; missed tackles in rugby; and the influence of outstanding teachers like Dickie Brent." - Adam Mynott, BBC East Africa Correspondent, Powell 1971-76. "I remember particularly the friendliness of the school and the three years of unbeaten rugby success which our team enjoyed from U16 to 1st XV level. Over these times I made my closest friends, and also ended up in a job that I love: playing professional sport." - Hugo Southwell, Professional rugby union player (Edinburgh & Scotland), Wargrave 1993-98. "My overall memory is of a splendid staff and civilised boys and girls. I consider my time at Eastbourne to be the best part of my life, for which I am extremely grateful." - Michael Birley, Headmaster 1956-70. "The College remains delightfully fresh in the memory as a place where everyone is genuinely at ease with each other and talent flourishes." - Charlie Bush, Headmaster 1993-2005. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. It is thirty years since the publication of John Buxton's and Penry Williams's irreplaceable New College, Oxford 1379-1979. It is also thirty years since the last great institutional change to College life, the arrival of women undergraduates. It is time to offer a new, different portrait of the College, less a formal history more an enjoyment of New College past and present. With the help of extensive illustrations, the book reveals familiar and unexpected dimensions to the living, changing society of academics, staff and students. New College's luminous buildings and gardens have framed the memories of generations, but a college is more than stones and flora. The aim is to evoke the experience of people as well as of place. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
