Hardback. Condition: New. Ever wondered how to make a garden attractive in December? Or what to do with that corner by the dustbin? Answers to these questions can be found in this compact and charming book of tips for the green-fingered, accompanied by Heath Robinson's highly inventive and humorous cartoons. First published in 1938, the book gives an insight into gardening trends on the eve of the Second World War while also addressing common concerns faced by gardeners. It features many typically elaborate contraptions such as the Combined Telescopic Spaderake for digging and raking at the same time, the Inebriate Roller for making wobbly garden paths and the Osoeezi Slugsticker. While some are patently ridiculous - a lawn is de-thistled and resown with the help of a barrel of grass seed strapped onto a small donkey - others are before their time, such as a special pump that can divert your bathwater into your garden hose, a contraption that is not wildly dissimilar to gadgets on the market today. Finally, the growing of vegetables inspires some sage advice: 'with the right kind of upbringing, a marrow will attain astonishing dimensions, and can be used for boasting purposes.' Poking gentle fun at a British obsession with a detailed illustration on almost every page, this book will delight both aspiring and experienced gardeners alike.…

Hardback. Condition: New. W. Heath Robinson is best known for his hilarious drawings of zany contraptions, though his work ranged across a wide variety of topics covering many aspects of British life in the decades following the First World War. Starting out as a watercolour artist, he quickly turned to the more lucrative field of book illustration and developed his forte in satirical drawings and cartoons. He was regularly commissioned by the editors of Tatler and The Sketch and in great demand from advertising companies. Collections of his drawings were subsequently published in many different editions and became so successful as to transform Heath Robinson into a household name, celebrated for his eccentric brand of British humour. Presenting such innovations as the 'Zip-Opening Bonnet', the 'Duo-car for the Incompatible' and the handy 'New Rear Wheel Gear for Turning the Car in One Movement', this volume of Heath Robinson illustrations with commentary by K.R.G. Browne will appeal to 'everybody who is ever likely to drive, be driven in, or get run over by a mechanically propelled vehicle'.…

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. First edition. Jacket edges a bit rubbed with light creases along base of front panel and shallow chip from base of rear panel. 1954 Hard Cover. 260 pp. In addition to being a history of the comparatively modern science of fingerprinting, this book also reveals how an impressive number of apparently baffling murders, robberies and crimes of passion have been solved by fingerprint detection. Though the modern possibilites of fingerprint detection are quite new, the Chinese employed them a thousand years ago as an aid to criminal investigation. It was not until Scotland Yard successfully made use of a system of fingerprint identification that it began to play an important role in the annals of crime. The authors have assembled an impressive array of cases from English, French and American criminal records which yield a rich harvest of fascinating problems that were solved by fingerprint experts. There is even a chapter on notable fiction stories about fingerprinting in which a portion of Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi is cited as anticipating the methods used by police today in their detection work.…
