214 pages including bibliography. Our economic future is dictated by the Federal Reserve. Jacque Rueff was aware of this fact when he alerted the West to the Fed's plot to control the free world's economy. So repugnant was this knowledge that it precipitated an economic war between our Fed and the world's central banks. To avoid a crisis - nationalization - the Fed and its Complex engaged America in a horrendous hoax: a war of containment (Vietnam), a war on poverty (the Great Society) and a war on gold (the London gold pool). Today's recession is the first stage of another misdirection conspiracy that will again attempt to make it possible for an international complex to wrest control of America's economy. Ridiculous, you say? Then read the proof! Publisher's stamp inside front cover. Library stamps upon each edge of textblock else unmarked. Binding sound. Moderate to average wear. Good working copy.

1938: She was one of the six sparkling Mitford sisters, known for her stinging quips, stylish dress, and bright green eyes. But Nancy Mitford's seemingly sparkling life was really one of turmoil: with a perpetually unfaithful and broke husband, two Nazi sympathizer sisters, and her hopes of motherhood dashed forever. With war imminent, Nancy finds respite by taking a job at the Heywood Hill Bookshop in Mayfair, hoping to make ends meet, and discovers a new life. Present Day: When book curator Lucy St. Clair lands a gig working at Heywood Hill she can't get on the plane fast enough...it's a dream come true to set foot in the legendary store. Doubly exciting: she brings with her a first edition of Nancy's work, one with a somewhat mysterious inscription from the author. Soon, she discovers her life and Nancy's are intertwined, and it all comes back to the little London bookshop--a place that changes the lives of two women from different eras in the most surprising ways" Book
(?700 FIG. MARINERIA-RARO). (cm 20,5) Solido cartonato policromo fine Sec. XIX, pp 144 con varie figure xilografiche di meridiane, strumenti di navigazione, notturnale, bussola, varie tabelle di problemi astronomici, calendari, latitudine e longitudine ed, in fine, la ricca: ?Table of difference of latitude et departure in minutes and tenth parts, to every degree and quarter point of the compass for the exact working of a travers?. Probabilmente prima edizione di uno dei piu' popolari calendari marinari inglesi della quale non abbiamo trovato riferimenti bibliografici o vendite. Houzerau-Lancaster n 15489, lo dichiara apparso dal 1727 al 1749. Sotheran n 4772 e 19929 ha edizioni posteriori, difettose, a caro prezzo e nulla riferisce circa una prima edizione. Purtroppo esemplare mediocre e scompleto. Mancano 4 carte (da pag. 9 a 16). Rifilato e macchiato con strappetti e vecchie note ai margini a causa dell?uso a cui era destinato. In ogni caso accettabile per la sua eccezionale rarita'. Il Census nazionale Opac SBN non registra alcun esemplare nelle biblioteche italiane. Manca a tutta la bilbiografia che abbiamo consultato.[f50] Libro
