GIFT QUALITY- 19 X 19 CM- BRAND NEW-" Here is a tribute to hard work, to our many wonderful Stanislaus customers and their families who share our commitment to excellence. It is signed(Printed) as a gift from Dino and Giovanna Cortopassi, owners of Stanislaus Food Products. The story tells of a poor immigrant setting up a hot dog stand selling the best hot dogs on the best buns with the best condiments--six of them on the first day of business, with the profits, reinvested the next day in twelve hot dogs? The business did well, and after years his son went off to college. He came back and talked the father in a time of recession into selling less than the best, but sales only slumped as a result. The son went on to work for a big chain, and the father finally sold the hot dog stand--to a hard-working young immigrant with the bright idea of selling the best hot dogs. Two things strike me as curious about the book: the self-congratulatory praise of hard work and good taste as appropriate for Christmas,… Read More

First Edition Second Printing.No DJ-Other than a name on inside cover this is an unmarked copy- illustrated-" A biography of Ferdinand Magellan. New title for the second edition of So Noble a Captain.-"Enlightening, harrowing and inspiring- This is an excellently researched and written history and biography. While some might feel it is a little too well-researched and that the author included biographies of too many people only peripherally involved in Magellan's life, I found that he's such a good writer that my attention was gripped throughout. And I was delighted to be introduced to Philippa of Lancaster, who became the queen of Portugal and seems at least as impressive as her fellow countrywoman, Elizabeth the Great. Why wasn't I introduced to her in school?-It was also fascinating to get to know Magellan better as the amazing--if misfortune dogged--adventurer and explorer that he was. His loyalty to those close to him was outstanding and sheds a different light on a man who is often vaguely… Read More

Buck) was a bestselling and Nobel Prizewinning author. Her classic novel The Good Earth (1931) was awarded a Pulitzer Prize and William Dean Howells Medal. Born in Hillsboro, West Virginia, Buck was the daughter of missionaries and spent much of the first half of her life in China, where many of her books are set. In 1934, civil unrest in China forced Buck back to the United States. Throughout her life, she worked in support of civil and women's rights and established Welcome House, the first international, interracial adoption agency. In addition to her highly acclaimed novels, Buck wrote two memoirs and biographies of both of her parents. For her body of work, Buck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938, the first American woman to have done so. She died in Vermont."Minor soiling on rear cover.

BRAND NEW-" Fighting Sail covers the half-century or so up to and including the Battle of Trafalgar. Perhaps Whipple can be criticized for his Anglo-centric bias, but a certain slant was inevitable - this was the golden age of the Royal Navy. Their mighty ships-of-the-line ruled the oceans, and no figure stood taller (metaphorically speaking) than the flawed, captivating Horatio Nelson. A certain concentration on the details of his life and career cannot be avoided.- Handsomely bound, richly detailed and superbly illustrated, it vividly evokes faraway places, distant times, and the characters that inhabited them."

A tight and unmarked copy-" A reference guide for artists illustrates the proper depiction of human anatomy with detailed drawings of muscle structure, joints and skeletal structure, movement of different areas of the body, and figures in motion."-minor edge wear.
