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.…

Soft cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. THE GREAT COAL SCHOONERS OF NEW ENGLAND 1870-1909 W.J. LEWIS PARKER 1948. If you have read through any of my maritime history related book listings, doubtless you will have noted that I lament having been born after these huge sailing vessels stopped plying our coasts. I cannot say the same for the boats described in this book. How would you like to be aboard a multi-masted wooden sailing vessel with more than 1000 tons of coal aboard in the rough and rocky seas of New England. Please find then: "The Great Coal Schooners of New England 1870-1909," by Lt. W.J. Lewis Parker, U.S.C.G. (not surprising that this book was written by a Coast Guardsman!). This medium-sized soft cover book (7 x 10 inches, 135 pages) was published by the Marine Historical Association, dated December 1948, with no mention of edition. The book is bound in dark blue soft boards with silver gilt titles on the cover and spine. The book is nicely illustrated, as the list shows, with 22 plates and one fold-out diagram of the configuration of the vessel in question. Condition: This book is in good condition, with some issues. The soft cover boards show wear, from rubbing and bumping but the titles, on both cover and spine, are still easily legible. Inside, the book is unmarked but there are some minor instances of soiling including the rust marks from a paper-clip that was once affixed to the covers. The interior pages and plates themselves are generally clean and bright, without toning or foxing. The binding is still tight, in part because someone applied some librarian's tape to the first pages. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
