Description:
London: Atlantic Books, 2020. A New Unread Copy with New Dustjacket which is not price clipped. xi + 338 pages. 32 illustrations. Second impression. London hosts twelve major railway stations, more than any other city in the world. They range from the grand and palatial, such as Kings Cross and Paddington, to the modest and lesser known, such as Fenchurch Street and Cannon Street. These monuments to the age of the train are the hub of Londons transport system and their development, decline and recent renewal have determined the history of the capital in many ways. Built between 1836 and 1899 by competing private train companies seeking to outdo one another, the construction of these terminuses caused tremendous upheaval and had a widespread impact on their local surroundings. What were once called slums were demolished, green spaces and cemeteries were concreted over, and vast marshalling yards, engine sheds and carriage depots sprung up in their place.

London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1984. A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ price clipped dustjacket. In this book the author penetrates behind the images of the global airlines - British Airways, Pan Am, JAL - to show who really runs them, and how they have both opened up our world and circumscribed it. He shows how the European airlines first grew up in the 1920's, dependent on national ambitions, and how the wartime hopes of 'freedom of the air' were soon forgotten with the revival of European nationalism; while the thrusting American airlines raced across the world under their autocrats Juan Trippe and Howard Hughes. He also covers the development of other countries' airlines and the conflicts and cut-throat tactics of the cartels. **** NOT EX LIB **** 3. First Edition. Hard Cover.

London: Chancellor Press, 1997. A near Fine unmarked copy in pictorial laminated boards as dustjacket with VG+ complete dustjacket. Introduction by John Cooper. On August 26th 1959 the British Motor Corporation launched the mini, designed by Alec Issigonis, whose brief was to create a small four seater that was cheap to run and had sophisticated handling. Not a success at first, it soon gained acceptance and during the next decade, egalitarian but modish and supremely manouevrable, it was adopted by the in-crowd and acquired a veritable cult status. The book provides a fascinating portrait of this motoring legend, explores all aspects of the mini phenomenon and its numerous derivatives. A very large format volume profusely illustrated. **** NOT EX LIB **** 1. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.

Shrewsbury: Airlife, 1986. A near Fine unmarked copy with no inscriptions and some light foxing to fore and top edges with near Fine dustjacket. The author gives a vivid account of the postwar period in Canadian and American aviation circles, when war surplus aircraft abounded, to be bought and sold for a song; returning aircrew vied with each other and with governments for a slice of the action, but many newly founded enterprises went to the wall. Some, like the author's own Worldwide Aviation Company, survived only by the ingenuity of their founders in discovering fresh corners of the market to exploit. Interspersed with fascinatingly detailed accounts of some of the flights made by the giants of yesteryear such as Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart and Howard Hughes. B2C. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by Williams, L.R.. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
