Brown cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine and upper cover. No ownership inscription. ix, 267 pages clean and tight. The publishers T N Foulis, operating from Edinburgh and London, published more than 400 titles during the period 1904-25. The vast majority of their books were produced to the most exacting of standards. The hallmarks of a Foulis book in the form of coloured buckram bindings, tipped-in colour plates, the elegant Auriol typeface and rose-watermarked paper have, in recent times, drawn collectors to these elegant volumes. Today, such features are virtually unheard of in a world of generally uniform book production and, once handled, any true bibliophile must find it difficult to put down a Foulis book. From the handsome classics sturdily bound in buckram to the charming so-called envelope books developed in the first decade of the… Read More

Colour and b/w plates. 350 pages clean and tight. Sifting myth from history, Piers Paul Read reveals the Templars - the multinational force of warrior monks, in their white tunics with red crosses over chainmail. They were not only unique among Christian institutions but constituted the first uniformed standing army in the western world and became pioneers of international banking. Expropriated by Philip IV of France in 1307, and confessing under torture to blasphemy, heresy and sodomy, the Order was finally suppressed by Pope Clement V in 1312. In a narrative that incorporates the story of the crusades and the many colourful characters who had links with the Templars, Piers Paul Read examines the question of their guilt and identifies their relevance to our own times. .
