200726252Hong Kong/Köln/London/Los Angeles/Madrid/Paris/Tokyo: Barnes & Noble / Taschen. Fine in Fine dj. 2008 c.2007. Reprint. Hardcover. nice clean copy with no discernible wear to either book or jacket. Movie Icons Series B&W and color photographs There are certainly better and definitely bigger books about Steve McQueen than this small-format tome 6"x8" but if you're in search of a kind of "essence of McQueen" you couldn't do much better. There's an intelligent introductory essay "Steve McQueen: King of Cool" by Alain Silver followed by a "Visual Filmography" which takes up the heart of the book and presents stills from all his films all credited to The Kobal Collection and beautifully reproduced in the best Taschen manner. The Chronology Filmography alas with just the director's credit plus McQueen's role and Bibliography are all quite brief but that doesn't take away from its pleasure as a pictorial survey of his career. All text and captions are in English German and French. The original 2007 Taschen edition seems to have been issued as a paperback only; this edition hardcover with dust jacket appears to have been produced basically for the American remainder market yet seems to be less common than the paperback. Go figure. . Barnes & Noble / Taschen hardcover books

177097Birmingham or Sheffield 1770. Oblong folio. 390 x 220 mm. 15 1/4 x 8 3/4 inches. Vellum spine over decorative blue paper wrappers paper label with title in Italian on upper board and ink title in Italian on spine. Paper stock toned with age a few leaves with staining in the margin otherwise in good condition. Silversmith model book containing 80 full-page engravings of candles sticks and holders candelabra pitchers plates salt and pepper shakers serving utensils silverware and other household pieces. Each image is beautifully and careful engraved with rich detail and ornamentation. Each includes a printed product number as well as one in ink with a different item number and a price. Although there is no title-page or signatures of engravers this large sales catalogue appears to be English as some of the engravings have English words of explanation engraved in the text. The binding is definitely Italian and the paper label is in an Italian hand. The watermark is a "fleur de lis" pattern suggesting an international company manufacturing the silver. There were only a few English companies with the capacity to export at this time including silver works in Sheffield and Birmingham both of which by 1770's had established networks of dealers selling their wares across the continent. This catalogue with specific Italian connections is very unusual and suggests the scope of the business had reached export capacity by the third quarter of the century. The most important Italian silver makers at this time were Giardini of Rome and Venuti of Naples. unknown books
