Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. Book Club Edition. This is a fictional story- fast paced, exciting, richly textured with memorable characters. Yet we think you will find it more than a story. It could be about your airport too. Lincoln International Airport calls itself boastfully: Aviation Crossroads of the World. Yet those with inside knowledge- like Mel Bakersfield, the airport's brilliant yet career-jinxed general manager- are aware of grave deficiencies. Operational areas are outmoded to the point of danger; air traffic control is overtaxed; the supposedly- modern glass and chrome main terminal has become a whited sepulcher. Against this background is set a dramatic, behind-scenes story of seven eventful airport hours during a mid-winter snowstorm, and of the men and women- with pressures, passions and problems of their own-who share them. You will meet: Joe Patroni, cocky and genial airline maintenance chief, striving to clear a disabled aircraft from an urgently needed runway; Air Traffic Controller Keith Bakersfeld, suffering stress and conscience stricken by the memory of an air disaster for which he was responsible; Tanya Livingston, passenger relations agent (and attractive divorcee) whose suspicions, triggered by a sharp-eyed Customs Inspector, reveal an unsuspected crisis; Captain (and check pilot) Vernon Demerest, arrogant, admired by women, and despising "ground bound penguins,' especially Airport Commissioners; Elliot Freemantle, crusading lawyer, leading a group of homeowners incensed by airport noise; Gwen Meighen, hot tempered English brunette from "Stewardess Row;" Ada Quonsett, a prim old lady who explains her so-easy techniques as an aerial stowaway; D.O. Guerrero, a psychotic with a homemade bomb.and many others. round bound penguins," especially Airport Commissioners; Elliot Freemantle, crusading lawyer, leading a group of home owners incensed by airport noise; Gwen Meighen, a hot tempered English brunette from "Stewardess Row;" Ada Quonsett, a prim old lady who (illustrator).…

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Booklet with white plastic comb binding. Many of the seafood recipes are, of course, from the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers. The egg mousse recipe, however, is from Mr. A.J. Balcombe, Master of the Worshipful Company of Tin-Plate Workers. The Drapers, the Barbers, and the Plumbers are also heard from in turn, though the recipe for Filet of Beef Wellington (a bit heavy on the bacon for our taste, though she does note liver pate can be substituted) is from Mrs. Ralph M. Snagge. (Pamela Scrimgeour, 1913-2004, as most of us surely know, married Ralph Mordaunt Snagge (1911-2001), son of Sir Mordaunt Snagge, at London in 1938. And no, none of these people were characters in a Harry Potter novel.) Heavy on the desserts, of course (including Sherry Hedgehog, though lamentably no mention of Spotted Dick.) No, we cannot explain the spellings "Bortsch" or "Spinach Roularde." We also reluctantly conclude Mr. George Vine, Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers, was not pulling Lady Heap's leg when he submitted with a straight face his recipe for "Greek Moussaka a L'Anglaise," entirely lacking bechamel and substituting "young cabbage" for eggplant.
