19867940Apollo Beach FL: M.A.P. Company 1986. First Edition First Printing. Original wraps. Very Good. 5 3/4 X 8 1/2 Inches. 120 PP. Stated "First Edition" on the copyright page. Although the author states this to be the "only" book on the market written for the toy soldier hobbyist we have not been able to verify this. That said this is obviously an important guide for the toy soldier creator and/or collector. While Wales' spelling and grammar are interesting to say the least his instructions for casting in metel and rubber seem clear and concise. Illustrated throughout with B/W photographs. Original comb-binding complete and intact. Includes sections on "Over Seas Companys" selling toy soldiers and supplies as well as listings for exhibitions and clubs in the United States. Stain to lower front cover. OCLC locates "0" copies and very scarce in commerce. M.A.P. Company unknown

Thank you <u>so</u> much for that magnificent & highly original inkwell I don't know how you manage to find these things with feathers on Is there anything which <u>hasn't</u> got feathers on!</em></p><p><em>I was so touched that you managed to ensure your present reached me on my birthday in Tokyo. I felt very spoilt!</em></p><p><em>All best wishes as always</em></p><p><em><u>Charles"</u></em></p><p>The King was in Tokyo on his birthday in 1990 as the then Prince and Princess of Wales were attending the enthronement of Emperor Akihito.

Poplak was a highly successful interior designer receiving commissions from the British royal family and British nobility. He initially came into contact with the royal family via Frances Shand-Kydd 1936-2004 the Mother of Diana Princess of Wales.

Poplak's 2005 obituary in The Times characterised him as "a shy and private man" who was deeply valued and trusted by his clients for his "courtier-like discretion and marked reticence with the press." When The Times wrote a story that he was refurbishing Highgrove House for the Prince and Princess of Wales he stated:</p><p>"I certainly won't tell you what the colour schemes are. That would be like disclosing the design of Lady Diana's wedding dress."</p><p>After the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales Poplak carried out further interior design projects at the royal residences and also on the royal train.

In many ways it helps to keep me reasonably sane and if it doesn't appeal to the critics then it's just too bad! I only hope that those who are rash enough to thumb through this book may be helped to discover what infinite beauty and delight there is in the details of God's creation".</p><p>The Queen Mother wrote the preface for the book. In part the Queen Mother wrote:</p><p>"I am delighted that this book is being published and it is nice to think that a wider audience will now have a chance to see some of the watercolours painted by my grandson in many different parts of the world. Ever since he was a small boy Prince Charles has taken an interest in his surroundings and has developed his powers of observation to the point where painting became a necessary and vital expression of that interest."</p><p>The money raised from sales of the book was given to the Prince of Wales's charities.</p><p>Please contact us for shipping costs if ordering from outside the UK.</p> Little, Brown and Company. hardcover

pp. vi, (1), 455, (10) [Index, Proposals and Advertisement] + Twenty-seven engraved plates, many folding. Engraved and decorated title page. Some offsetting from plates. Foxed. All edges decorated red. 4to. Rebound in three quarters leather over marbled boards. Spine paper label. Hardbound. Thomas Pennant (1726-1798) was probably the foremost 18th century Welsh intellectual. A naturalist, zoologist, and antiquary, he is best known for this 'A Tour in Wales'. In his famous autobiography The Literary Life (1793) he states that he sometimes marvelled at his own industry. His first book was the 1766 folio, British Zoology. This made a financial loss as it had been printed on paper that was too large. Thereafter all his major works appeared in smaller formats, either octavos or quartos. The current view of his contribution to natural history is that its importance lies in the fact that he popularized and promoted its study. His tours and topographic works also display his insistence on detailed research. Among the accounts of tours he published are those of two separate visits to Scotland, a tour from Chester to London, and an account of London itself. His A Tour in Wales (1778-1783) is regarded as being quite outstanding and easily the finest work in a considerable corpus of Welsh tour literature published from ca. 1770 onwards. Pennant also became a collector more as a scholar than as a connoisseur. As a patron he tended to purchase pictures which were directly commissioned from the artist.
