20182055New York: Skyhorse Publishing 2018. Second printing. Hardcover. Good/very good. Signed without inscription by Dick Foasbury and Bob Welch on a corporate Sapient holiday book plate affixed to the front free endpaper. Black hardcover with silver spine titles 2nd printing in dustjacket. A good only copy with wear to the spine tips bumping to the lower board corners and some dots of brown to the bottom of the front board. Interior is clean and unmarked other than the ghost of a previous bookstore price erased at the top of the ffep. The book opens widely at the half title page but the binding is solid as are the hinges. The unclipped jacket is much better - clean and bright with minimal edgewear. 282 pp. indexed black and white photo gathering at the center. Fosbury's passing in early 2023 was a blow to the track and field community in Oregon where he pioneered the Fosbury Flop - used by most competitors in the high jump to this day. <br/><br/> Skyhorse Publishing hardcover

Light wear and soiling to extremeties head of spine chipped. Internally with a few vague stains but generally nice and clean. 629 11 pp. Engraved half-title included in the pagination. <br/><br/><em>The rare first Danish translation by Pakington’s popular “The practise of Christian gracesâ€. The original English version went through more than 30 editions and three more Danish editions were published in 1740 1765 and finally in 1779. For two centuries it was both a popular and influential work within primarily Anglican but also protestant tradition. It was first published anonymously in 1658 with an introduction by Henry Hammond 1605-1660. The authorship was initially attributed to Lady Dorothy Pakington but the consensus view of modern scholars attributes the book to Richard Allestree. The authorship remained a secret and over the years it has been attributed to at least 27 people beginning with Hammond himself. Thesaurus 312Biblioteca Danica 1 282. </em> hardcover
198726763Fairbanks:: University of Alaska Press 1987. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket . By the thousands they came the gold-seekers of 1897 pouring through Alaska’s White and Chilkoot passes on their way to the Klondike and to fortune. Fast behind them came the entrepreneurs the bunco artists and before long the engineers and financiers whose driving ambition was to build a railway through the White Pass’s rocky precipices. This is the epic northern adventure of the men who rushed for gold the workers who toiled in winter storms and thaw-time muck carving the grade and laying rail and the ingenious characters who dreamed schemed promoted and finally built the White Pass and Yukon Railway.

1852ST20768London: Simpkin & Marshall 1852. FIRST EDITION. 153 x 102 mm. 6 x 4". 64 pp. <br/> Publisher's deluxe red pebble-grain morocco gilt covers with graceful Romantic-style frame central panel of upper cover with gilt lettering that of lower cover with gilt ornament spine blind-stamped to resemble raised bands panels with gilt ornament gilt turn-ins pale yellow endpapers all edges gilt. With title page vignette frontispiece portrait of Wellington and three full-page engravings of battles. Printed entirely in gilt on "enamel" gloss paper. Front free endpaper with faint pencilled signature. Binding very slightly soiled joints and extremities a little rubbed trivial soiling to front endpapers otherwise quite a fine copy the text entirely clean fresh and bright with sparkling gold.<br/> <br/> This now-scarce luxuriously produced little volume celebrates the life and military achievements of Arthur Wellesley Field Marshall and 1st Duke of Wellington perhaps the most widely admired Briton of the 19th century--and does so in glittering fashion. The key facts of Wellington's life and the decisive battles of his storied career are related here in sparkling gold text and images on alabaster white pages. Poet laureate Tennyson's funerary ode described Wellington 1769-1852 as "the last great Englishman" and his death evoked great mourning in response to his life of public service. DNB notes that his defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo crushing the emperor's ambition for European dominance put him in a class of his own: "No man certainly no Briton had ever been in such a situation before in Europe the object of universal hero-worship and gratitude." Wellington was particularly notable among senior military officers for his determination to lead his troops on the frontline in battle. The three battles depicted in the illustrations here attest to this: in "The Battle of Assaye" we see him on horseback two horses were shot from under him during the conflict wielding his sword as he bears down on enemy cannon. At the "Battle of Vittoria" he is shown leading the infantry to face the enemy with bayonet fixed. And in the decisive "Battle of Waterloo" scene he is once again with the cavalry wheeling to attack the advancing French. The frontispiece shows Wellington astride his famed horse Copenhagen who was his mount at Waterloo. Our volume concludes with a chronology of principal events in the duke's life. It is notable that such a handsome memorial work was produced so quickly after Wellington's sudden death on 14 September 1852: a contemporary ad in Bent's Literary Advertiser notes our title was published on 15 November three days before Wellington's state funeral on the 18th. Copies of this work are rare: we could trace no auction sales and OCLC records only seven copies just one in North America. Simpkin & Marshall unknown
