| AIR OF MANN : Aerials Views of the Isle of Man [Roy McMillan] There is something magical about being able to see the world from above. In this book, Michael Thompson reveals an island not just alive with history but also disclosing both its present and some hints of its future. From coastal views to townscapes, over glens and hamlets, "Air of Mann" takes a snapshot of the lsle of Mann at the beginning of the 21st century. It shows the development of the island as more people and businesses locate here, illustrating how the island is coping with the changes of the last decade. But the view from the skies also shows just how much the past is still imprinted on the land, and how much the land itself determines the Island's character. Michael Thompson is well-known for his work capturing the Spirit of Mann on film, but here he gives a fresh approach to familiar landscapes, and a chance to see the island as never before. It is a view of the lsle of Man which will make this book something to treasure for those who know and love the Island, as well as those who have yet to discover it. { 148pp, 215x310mm, May 2007; HB, £25.00, 189960281X:9781899602810 , Lily Publications Ltd } |

| AMARYLLIS TONTINE : The Tale of a Topsail Schooner [Denys Drower] Captain Ffynlo Quick, a Manxman, is the captain of a three-masted schooner, Amaryllis. On the owner's death he acquires a share of the ship by joining in a 'tontine'. Each of the tontine's five members has invested the same amount of money in the venture and the annual profit will be split between them. If any member should die, his share would be divided between the others. The story tells of the various adventures, which befall the ship and her crew including storm, collision, dangerous cargoes, and, on one occasion, the saving of a steamer in peril, resulting in a salvage claim in the Admiralty Court. Threaded through this is the story of the relationship of the members of the tontine. Their deaths, one-by-one, often in strange circumstances, leads eventually to the dramatic conclusion. { 252pp, 145x210mm, December 2005; PB, £6.95, 1899602828:9781899602827 , Lily Publications Ltd } |

Mervin's MBE is a just reward for his achievements.

| SPIRIT OF GUERNSEY : A Photographic Profile of the Bailiwick of Guernsey (Including Sark, Herm, Alderney, Brecqhou & Jethou) Geographically, the Bailiwick of Guernsey, lying in the bay of St Malo, is much closer to France than it is to England. Historically, the Bailiwick owes its allegiance to the Queen of England through her ancient title of Duke of Normandy and is very proud of its separate identity. Likewise, the people of Guernsey, Herm, Alderney and Sark see themselves as a very particular breed of British islanders. The spirit of these resourceful people and their beautiful islands is captured in this book. The words of Peter Davies tell of the history of the Bailiwick -- how, over the centuries, the islanders have made their living by trade, agriculture, privateering, horticulture, quarrying, tourism and, latterly, finance. The photographs, by Michael Thompson and Miles Cowsill, show the islands and their communities as they are today, facing all the challenges of the early 21st century -- a time when a rapidly changing world threatens to impinge on their traditions, customs and liberties. Containing over 160 superb images, "Spirit of Guernsey" is a book to enlighten and entertain all those familiar with the Bailiwick, either as locals or visitors, and to encourage others to come and see the islands for themselves. { 148pp, 215x310mm, October 2003; HB, £22.50, 1899602178:9781899602179 , Lily Publications Ltd } |
