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.…

Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Dust Jacket Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 184 Seiten, 114 Abb. gebunden mit Schutzumschlag - Als »fashion girl« sorgt Sylvie Fleury seit Anfang der neunziger Jahre für Aufsehen. Wirken ihre Arbeiten auf den ersten Blick auch wie eine Bestätigung der Wertmaßstäbe der Konsumgesellschaft, so verbindet sie mit ihnen doch eine subtile Kommentierung des schönen Scheins: Die von Fleury aufgegriffenen Slogans sind nicht nur Logos international bekannter Modehäuser, Parfümerien oder Hochglanzmagazine. Fleury benennt mit der Benutzung dieser Zeichen vielmehr die mit ihnen verbundenen menschlichen Sehnsüchte und Wunschbilder. Farbige Räume, magische Lichterscheinungen und glänzende Oberflächen gewinnen in ihrer Arbeit neuerdings an Bedeutung. Farbpsychologie und Esoterik (aus diesem Bereich leitet sich der Titel »49000« her) bestimmen den Charakter vieler Werke. Somit beschreitet Fleury über die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Warenfetischismus der world of fashion hinaus neue Wege. Magische Aura, Schönheit und Erhabenheit der inszenierten Objekte wie Kristalle oder Pendel rücken hierbei in den Mittelpunkt. Die Publikation, die von der Schweizer Künstlerin selbst gestaltet wurde, präsentiert neben »Klassikern« der neunziger Jahre im Wesentlichen Arbeiten der letzten zwei Jahre.…

Publisher's beige-coloured flexible covers, 3-post split-pin binder (old scotch tape repairs head & foot of spine, minor creasing to corners), still a VG copy w/ the map in excellent condition w/ no tears. First edition of this map devised by the Ralph Heald for his company which operated initially as Heald-Menerey, and then Heald & Walkup as the first of its kind for automobile, airplane, and office use. The map shows hard surface highways, main & improved highways, roads, trails, steam & electric railways, rivers, lakes, dry lakes, aqueducts, lighthouses, county lines, and more. The format of this predecessor to the modern Thomas guide provided a convenient portable map for early 1930's travelers to reference, with the state divided into four East to West strips. This map was executed originally around 1930, as the Portland Railway Light & Power CO. interurban is still shown between Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR. Heald (1898-1974) was a World War I veteran, who operated a successful map and real estate survey publishing business into the Great Depression, but by the beginning of World War II is listed as unemployed, and we could find no employment records after that. Worldcat locates 3 copies of a later 1934 edition featuring a companion 28 pp. index (Seattle Public, U of W, Washington State Library). …
