Strauss waltzes, honky-tonk blues, hymns, and the most contemporary compositions. In Keyboard Instruments, Clive Unger-Hamilton explores the world of keyboards in depth and detail.

Finally, he lists the hundred most significant performers, from Oscar Peterson to Artur Rubinstein,… Read More

The KGB, or Committee for State Security, is the principal instrument through which the Soviet Union is ruled and Soviet foreign policy is executed.

Until now, there has been no definitive book that explains precisely what the KGB is, all that it does, and precisely how it exercises its largely unseen influence upon the world. This comprehensive work, the result of four years detailed research, fills a significant void in the literature of contemporary affairs. The author has enlisted the cooperation of… Read More

London: Guild Publishing. Very Good/Very Good. 1985. Hard Cloth Cover. Lge 8vo Dust jacket complete. Red cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. 245 pages clean and tight. Long before the 'Green Berets' were engaged in South East Asia or before even the elite SAS was raised in the deserts of North Africa, Germany had used special forces. In a prelude to the Second World War, an offshoot of the SS employed some of its men in Bohemia as agents-provocateurs to foment the political crisis that led to the German invasion of Czechoslovakia. A short while later, the SD carried out a similar operation in Poland, where it successfully fabricated the justification needed for Hitler's declaration of war on that unhappy country. Another special force meanwhile had infiltrated Polish factories and mines to ensure that these installations would pass intact into German hands. These successes went unnoticed, submerged in the greater victory that the army had won, but… Read More

Warne. Good/Very Good. 1978. Hard Cover. 0723228574 Dust jacket complete. Black cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. Slight waves to pages. Numerous photographs. Clean and tight. The 160 period photographs for this book were chosen to show the evolution of the farm tractor in Britain between 1900 and 1960. As it is impossible to give a complete pictorial record of so vast a subject, it was decided to use the Kaleidoscope formula. This allows a selection of random fragments of motoring history to be depicted in carefully reproduced photographs with detailed captions. Looked at as a whole, the book gives a broad outline of the main trends - the pioneer years, technical developments, American dominance, crawlers, diesels and Britain's major role as a producer since the Second World War. Looked a individually, the photographs give a fascinating insight into the changing country scene and long-forgotten methods of the past. .

Catherine Greenaway, forever afterwards known as Kate, was born in Hoxton, London, on St Patrick's Day, the second daughter of John Greenaway, a prominent wood-engraver and draughtsman whose work is to be found in early volumes of the Illustrated London News and Punch. It was her father who first encouraged her to draw, an interest which increased throughout her student days at the National Art Training School in South Kensington- now the Royal College of Art - and at the Slade, where she attended evening classes. After illustrating many fairy stories, her first great triumph came when her own Under the Window, a collection of pictures and rhymes, was published in 1879 and revolutionized the children's book world. The children of her pictures and rhymes became the darlings of the English nursery, so much… Read More

Amberley Publishing. Very Good. 2014. Soft Cover. 1445635925 Unread paperback. Uncreased spine. No ownership marks. Clean and tight. Katharine of Aragon was a central figure in one of the most dramatic and formative events of Tudor history – England’s breach with Rome after a thousand years of fidelity. She lived through traumatic and revolutionary times and her personal drama was played out against dramas of European significance. The heroic and dignified first wife of Henry VIII, Katharine was cast aside for reasons of dynastic ambition but resolutely and unbendingly stuck to her principles and her dignity at enormous cost to herself. Katharine’s story tells so much about the exercise of power, and about being married to a lover who became slowly but perceptibly a tyrant in public life and a monster in his private affairs. Professor Patrick Williams has been immersed in Spanish history for over forty years and his monumental new biography is the first to make full use… Read More
