Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine. 4th Printing. 4th printing (Ford-Smith, Folio 76 #1140). Includes publisher's slipcase. Fine book in near fine slipcase. Slipcase faintly scuffed. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2003 Hard Cover. 288 pp. A collection of humorous vignettes by various authors, with contributions by William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, Charles Dickens, Winston S. Churchill, the Queen of England, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, etc., etc. Ever since Chaucer's day, when the host of the Tabard Inn in Southwark rose to welcome the Canterbury Pilgrims with a joke, the After Dinner Speech, designed, if possible, to reduce the assembled company to helpless merriment, has presented the ultimate challenge. The best speakers are natural story-tellers - Gerard Hoffnung, reading a selection of letters from continental hoteliers: 'There is a French widow in every bedroom affording delightful prospects'; John Mortimer telling the woeful tale of a man's numerous unsuccessful attempts to murder his wife: 'At no time did Mrs Scott feel that the magic had gone out of their marriage' - and in this collection of post-prandial treasures you will find the very best of them, from Groucho Marx on how to resist a femme fatale, to Ralph Steadman surreally addressing the Lewis Carroll Centenary Dinner. 'Goodness', said a friend on greeting Mae West, 'where did you get those beautiful pearls?' 'Goodness', replied Mae, 'had nothing to do with it.' Shaggy dog stories, practical jokes, sporting anecdotes, rousing toasts, travellers' tales and risque reminiscences rub shoulders in this essential collection with real-life revelations and moments of history. Among the guests are Peter Ustinov, Jilly Cooper, Brian Johnstone, Charles Dickens, Dorothy Parker, Robertson Davies, Henry Grady and A.P. Herbert. There is food and drink in abundance. There is gentle reflection and endearing charm as well as defiant frivolity. Above all there are stories for every occasion - witty, absurd, momentous, philosophical, fascinating, poignant, and forever entertaining.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - On September 29, 1982, seven people in the Chicago area swallowed Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide. and died. They didn't know they had been poisoned; they simply reached for the most trusted painkiller in America. The nation panicked. Johnson & Johnson pulled 31 million bottles. The FBI launched the biggest manhunt since the JFK assassination. The public was told a single person, in an unprecedented act of evil, had laced the capsules-one madman never convicted of the crime. The Tylenol murders didn't begin in 1982. They began in 1979 and continued through 1986. Multiple killers were involved. Johnson & Johnson may have known Tylenol was a target, three years before, when the first victim died in 1979. For more than forty years, the real story has been buried under silence, misdirection, corporate self-preservation, and an investigation too narrowly focused from the start. The author spent his career inside the pharmaceutical supply chain. He knows how drugs move from factory to shelf, and what it would take to tamper with sealed products. He's spent years reconstructing what truly happened-following the evidence across state lines, through FBI field offices, and into historical records that never made the newspapers. He found a trail of death far longer than anyone ever admitted, and a case for multiple perpetrators-including individuals possibly still alive who should be investigated. Seven Innocents names names. It lays out the evidence. It gives the FBI new direction to close out not just the Chicago case but a string of murders the public was never told were connected. The families have waited long enough. Seven Innocents is the third and most revealing book on J&J, preceded by No More Tears, (Harris) and Tylenol and Autism (Parker).…

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Format is approximately 12 inches by 15 inches. 267 pages. Illustrated endpaper. 278 illustrations, including 143 in full color (from DJ front flap) and fold-out mission diagram. Some illustrations are tipped in (two have some looseness. Includes essays entitled Man and the Moon by Silvio A. Bedini, A Step Toward Immortality by Wernher von Braun, and The Moon Gives Up Its Secrets by Fred Whipple. Other sections are entitled: Introduction, The Space Age, Apollo 11 To the Moon, Moon Talk, The Moon Revisited [about the Apollo 12 mission], and Space Age Chronology. There is a listing of Maps and Charts and Photo and Chart Credits. The title page has the signatures in ink of Silvio A. Bedini and the crews of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 (Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins, Charles Conrad, Dick Gordon, and Alan Bean). The pages are made of high gloss paper, and ink can bead before drying. It has been reported that NASA astronauts were provided with signature stamps they could personally use, in addition to, or instead of, personally signing items. In this book, there are variations in the color in some signatures, such as Dick Gordon's, which make his signature more likely to be personally signed than personally stamped. It is clear is that each of the six astronauts personally signed or stamped their signatures on this book, most likely at the same time. The book has been clearly signed by the author Silvio A. Bedini. This is a wonderful book that is focused on the missions of Apollo 11 and 12, and has this signature connection to each crew member. Rare in any signed form. This book traces the long history of man's striving to reach out to the moon, an effort that culminated in the Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 moon landings. Silvio A. Bedini (January 17, 1917 - November 14, 2007) was an American historian, specializing in early scientific instruments. He was Historian Emeritus of the Smithsonian Institution, where he served on the professional staff for twenty-five years, retiring in 1987. This publication date of this book is listed as 1973 in Dr. Bedini's bibliography, but elsewhere the publication dates of 1970 and 1972 have also been given. Fred Lawrence Whipple (November 5, 1906 - August 30, 2004) was an American astronomer, who worked at the Harvard College Observatory for more than 70 years. Amongst his achievements were asteroid and comet discoveries, the "dirty snowball" hypothesis of comets, and the invention of the Whipple shield, which protects spacecraft from impact by small particles by breaking them up. Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun (23 March 1912 - 16 June 1977) was a German-American aerospace engineer and space architect. He was the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Germany and a pioneer of rocket and space technology in the United States. Von Braun served as director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V super heavy-lift launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon. In 1967, von Braun was inducted into the National Academy of Engineering, and in 1975, he received the National Medal of Science. Very good (in a plastic sleeve).…
