Oxfam Online Shop Product Information
Parliamentary Profile Services Ltd, London, 2002. Card Covers. Book Condition: Very Good Plus. Caricatures By Ed Pentin and Terry Roth (illustrator). 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. BOOK DESCRIPTION : c2002, 1st Edition; complete 4 volume set covering the A to Z of politicians; 2474 pages in total; illustrated with caricatures; all 4 volumes in VG+ Condition. The "indispensable" guide to all the political characters frequenting the English Parliament in the years '97 to '02. Andrew Roth, the founder of PP has been digging around in Westminster since 1950 after four years as a foreign correspondent in twenty countries. His credentials are that he is a political biographer (eg. of Wilson, Heath and Powell), a parliamentary correspondent (with the Manchester Evening News), a columnist (for the New Statesman), and an obituarist (for the Guardian). Before his journalistic career, he spent five wartime years in US Naval Intelligence. He has combined objective profiling with a nose for scandal (Profumo, Greer). Co-author Byron Criddle is a Reader in Politics at the Aberdeen University, and is well known as the co-author of the classic work, The Almanac of British Politics, as well as being a contributor to the British General Election Nuffield series since 1983. The Parliamentary Profiles investigate each politician in the round, making interesting revelations and gathering together many quotes about each politician in the spotlight. Objectivity is offset by occasional comic slants which range in style from the facetious aside to the panache of perceptive comment. The topics covered in each profile are : Name, party, region where elected and when; vote majority, description of electoral region, positions held; outlook, history within politics; date and place of birth, details of family and education; former occupations; physical traits and character traits, address and telephone numbers given. BOOK CONDITION : VG+ : slight signs of shelfwear/shelf marking to upper and lower pages faces; very minor shelfwear to covers; minor narrow edge fading to front covers of two volumes; otherwise well preserved; former owner's signature to title pages at top; slight signs of erasured pencil underlining to one profile; otherwise inside pages in excellent condition with preserved whites and tones; binding excellent - secure and tight like new.
