With the advances of technology and science, never before have we known so much about our universe. The Voyager and other space probes have given us exciting new insights into the planets, while satellite telescopes, such as the Hubble telescope, search for information at the very edges of the universe to discover how it all began. THE OFFICIAL LONDON PLANETARIUM BOOK OF SPACE is a fascinating journey through the realms of the "last frontier". It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the world of astronomy. There is a detailed tour of the Solar System, stopping off at the planets, their moons and rings. The Milky Way and other galaxies are explored in detail, and the mystery of distant quasars is revealed. Red giants, white dwarfs, black holes, supernovae and pulsars are also examined, as are comets,… Read More

New York: Book Of The Month. Very Good/Very Good. 1994. Hard Cover. 6.5" By 9.5" Tall. Dust jacket complete. Brown cloth spine over boards. Bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. 467 pages clean and tight. 0. Henry was in his lifetime-and possibly has been since his death-the most widely read writer in America. Like William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway, he has been honored by having a prestigious literary award-the 0. Henry Short Story Prize-named after him. But his very popularity has often worked against him in assigning him a place in the pantheon of American literature. This collection brings together a considerable selection of the work that won 0. Henry his millions of readers and also seeks to extend the limits of what we think of when we say the words "an 0. Henry story." For 0. Henry has perennial freshness: there's the voice, which is as smart and funny as a Damon Runyon story. There are the characters: the plucky shopgirls and… Read More

S.R. Publishers. Very Good/Very Good. 1970. Hard Cover. 8vo 0854095454 Reprint of the 1926 edition. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Red cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. 290 pp and 65 plates clean and tight. The author claims that he is attempting not a history, but some glimpses of Bedford's past. The book tells the story of Old Bedford up to the 17th November 1846, a date which, for the author, marks the end of an epoch. The earliest historical record of Bedford is an Anglo-Saxon chronical, and it is with Anglo-Saxons that the author starts this book. Famous people associated with Bedford and noteworthy events which have happened in the town are mentioned, and there are many illustrations. Old buildings, many of which have now disappeared are described. This is more of a personal account of Old Bedford than a formal history of the town, and the book is indeed, written in a personal style. .

Headmaster and Archbishop-these were the twin peaks at the beginning and end of R. H. Owen's career. He was only twenty-eight when in 1915 he became Headmaster of Upping-ham School, a remarkably early age at that period for such an appointment. He stayed at Uppingham for eighteen years during which time he carried out radical reorganizations and set his seal upon the school. In 1946, at the age of nearly sixty, he undertook fresh responsibilities in a new country by accepting the bishopric of Wellington, New Zealand. Six years later he was elected Archbishop and served as untiringly in that high office until ill health forced retirement. The years between brought a variety of experience. He… Read More
