372 pages. Index. "The most detailed book ever about the famous F-86 Sabre... the classic jet fighter of all time, the plane that made history by taking control of the skies over Korea and drubbing the MiG-15... Contains the largest number of Sabre photos ever published in one book. As well, there are drawings, a full production list, various specs and statistics, and even drinking songs, poems and cartoons. This book will surely bring waves of nostalgia to anyone who was involved with air force life in the 1950s and will delight anyone with an interest in some of the most exciting years in military aviation." - from dust jacket.

New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (32 x 25 cm). English Edition. 241, [1] p., color ills. The arms of the sultans. The arms collection of Topkapi Palace. Translated by Alev (Kerimoglu) Bulut. "Weapon is a device that was developed by the mankind in the ancient ages for protection against the events of nature and enemies. The arms that were used for the functions of drilling, cutting, defense, and the firing function to be acquired later, were accepted as works of art owing to the mastery and craftsmanship skills that they display. The present work title The arms of the sultans. The arms collection of Topkapi Palace was prepared for the purpose of presenting to the readers The Arms of Collection of the Topkapi Palace Museum, where some of the rarest examples of these works of art are on display, as a whole along with an analysis of its fundamental attributes". Covering 1,300 years and consisting of 52,000 weapons of Arab, Umayyad, Abbasid, Mamluk, Persian, Turkish, Crimean Tartar, Indian, European, and Japanese origin, the Topkapi Palace Museum's weaponry collection is also among the world's premier weapons collections. The collection is made up in part of weapons transferred from the cebehâne and those used by the palace guards; however, the collection's most noteworthy section consists of those weapons ordered by the sultan personally or specially made as gifts for him, which weapons are a part of the palace's private collection. This collection includes weaponry owned by such sultans as Mehmed II, Bayezid II, Selim the Grim, Suleiman the Magnificent, Selim II, Mehmed II, and Ahmed I, as well as the weapons of such high-level dignitaries as grand viziers, pashas, and palace chamberlains; all of these weapons are eye-catching with their fine craftsmanship and decorations. An additional factor that contributed to the diversification of the collection's highly artistic weaponry was the tradition of bringing to the palace the weapons of important figures that were obtained through plunder.

TULLIO PIRONTI 2002 681 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: SEGNI DEL TEMPO FRONTE RETRO IN COPERTINA, PER IL RESTO OTTIMO. Michel Zévaco (Ajaccio, 1º febbraio 1860, Eaubonne, 8 agosto 1918) è stato un romanziere, insegnante, giornalista, editore e attivista anarchico francese. Degno successore di Alexandre Dumas, Michel Zévaco, popolarissimo autore di feuilletons a cavallo tra Otto e Novecento, ci offre con Nostradamus, il primo romanzo del ciclo da lui dedicato alla figura del celebre autore delle profetiche Centurie. L'Autore dipinge il ritratto, cupo e sanguinoso, della Francia di Caterina de' Medici, delle guerre di religione, della caccia alle streghe. In un susseguirsi di duelli, agguati notturni, rapimenti, magie, evocazione di morti, prende corpo la trama della ventennale vendetta, con cui l'ormai anziano Nostradamus vuol punire coloro che gli hanno rovinato la giovinezza e sottratto Marie, la giovane sposa: re Enrico II di Valois, e i suoi infidi amici, Roncherolles e Saint-André. Recentemente ristampato in Francia dalla casa editrice Laffont, il romanzo ha riscosso un enorme successo.
