'Dove-Marks on Stone' is a gathering of poems for George Mackay Brown by fellow poets on what would have been his 75th birthday - a gesture of celebration rather than sadness. Brown's poem 'Carol' appears here for the first time. Contributing poets are Seamus Heany, R S Thomas, Christopher Jenkin-Jones, Catherin Fisher, Deborah Rendall, Sheenagh Pugh and K A Perryman. The renowned photographer Gunnie Moberg contributes a tipped in photograph of Brown. This book is one of only twenty-five copies signed by all the poets and Gunnie Moberg. Very slight blemish to front. A very scarce title.

(The author) focuses on the historical development of Japanese film, illustrated by a series of typical Japanese film posters.
