EDINGTON, SARAH VEGETARIAN RECIPES: B&W THROUGHOUT 7 1/2 " X 10", 0 PGS | |
|
It is a fact that great eaters of meat are in general more cruel and ferocious than other men; this observation holds good in all places and at all times; the barbarism of the English is well known. This was Jean-Jacques Rousseau's opinion of the benefits of a vegetarian diet. These days The National Trust is providing more and more vegetarian dishes to suit growing demand from the swarms of 'barbarians' who visit National Trust properties every year! Whether you are choosing to eat vegetarian dishes as a permanent diet or as part of a healthier lifestyle, Vegetarian Recipes is packed with ideas to tempt the most committed carnivore. Sample Spiced Bean Pottage, a Tudor favourite from Oxburgh Hall, the sophisticated and luxurious Pinenut and Spinach Jalousie from Charlecote Park, or Carrot Halwa, an exotic dessert from Claremont Landscape Gardens inspired by Clive of India who used to live there. To keep the cook entertained there are details of our ancestors attitudes towards health and food and quotations from all manner of notable vegetarians, from the Romantic Percy Bysshe Shelley, to the irascible George Bernard Shaw. Enjoy the extravagant hospitality of the Earls of Egremont at Petworth House in Sussex, and yet spare a thought for the unfortunate inhabitants of the Thurgaton Hundred Incorporated Workhouse at Southwell in Nottinghamshire. Sarah Edington was for many years a professional cook, running her own catering business, with the National Trust and the Victoria & Albert Museum among her customers. She now specialises in tours of historic kitchens. |

EMERING, EDWARD J. WEAPONS AND FIELD GEAR OF THE NORTH VI OVER 400 COLOR AND B 8 1/2" X 11", 160 PG | |
|
Field gear and inert weapons and ordnance have long been popular items with militaria collectors. The Vietnam War by its very nature offers an incredible range and variety of these items for the interested collector. The North Vietnamese and their puppet troops of the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong or VC) relied primarily on communist allies (Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba and various Eastern Bloc countries of the era) for their weapons and field gear. For this reason, Vietnam represents a microcosm of gear from all of this century's wars, dating back to World War I, as well as a wide range of improvised weapons and equipment. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the variety of hand grenades used by the enemy, including Russian, Chinese, North Korean, Eastern European, French, Japanese and even modified, captured U.S. grenades. Although impossible to completely catalog the extreme variety of weapons and field gear used by the PAVN and VC, author Edward Emering has made a determined effort to present a wide overview of the weapons and field gear used from the late-1950s through the modern era. He has been aided in his goal by obtaining access to the world class collection of the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum, located in Chicago, Illinois and by material from a number of extensive private collections. This book will help both the serious collector as well as those individuals interested in acquiring only a token piece of history to avoid potentially costly mistakes. A value guide is included.

All medals are exquisitely photographed in color with the exception of a few of the rare commemorative medals, which are reproduced in black and white. The work also covers a number of interesting foreign awards which have accompanied the award of a number of U.S. campaign medals.

Never before in German military history did the German Artillery possess such variety and magnitude as in the World War II era. From North Cape to Tobruk, Biscay to Lapland, Den Helder to the Caucasus, there were more than 1000 light and about 340 heavy artillery units, as well as the light and heavy field howitzer units, assault gun units, brigades and batteries, observation units, railroad batteries, mountain artillery units, light gun units and launcher regiments. The German Artillery included 655,000 men in 1943, or 22 percent of all the soldiers who went into action. Thirty-nine German gun tipes and forty captured gun types from ten different European countries were utilized by these units.The German Artillery took on special significance in the spring of 1943 when the fighting strength of the exhausted infantry began to decrease and armored vehicles became less and less effective in their battle against overwhelming Soviet power. During this period, the Artillery again and again provided the backbone of the German resistance and defense. This volume of photographs presents a look into the operations, action and everyday life of the German artillery - a frequently over-looked aspect of Wehrmacht history. Price: $24.95 |

One of the hottest fields in collecting, Tarzan memorabilia ranges from comic books at a dollar or two to first editions valued in the thousands! Part of our cultural heritage for nearly a century, the chest-beating ape man (what other fictional character can be described by a gesture?) has been a hero for generations of boys and girls. Appearing in books, movies, radio, comics, toys, television, cartoons, and even on luggage and vitamins, the image of Tarzan is sure to spark childhood memories of Saturday movie matinees or evenings spent reading the latest issue of the Tarzan comic book.Tarzan collectibles can be found at the priciest auction house or your neighbor's yard sale. Recently a movie poster from the 1928 production Tarzan The Mighty went under the gavel for over $30,000. Many of the Tarzan cereal premiums from the '30s and '40s are today worth several hundred dollars. Tarzan comics and books (both hard cover and paperback) offer the collector a chance to obtain samples of artwork by some of the greatest illustrators, past and present. Just as the worth of vintage items grows, today's toys, comic books, movie, and other Tarzan memorabilia have the potential to increase in value. Price: $29.95 |

ESTEP, KEITH E. THE SHAVING MUG & BARBER BOTTLE BOOK 240 PAGES, CLOTHBOUN 9 X 11 1/4 | |
|
Although the shaving mug is nothing more than a container designed to hold a bar of shaving soap that grew out of a necessity for sanitary barber shops, it has evolved into a beautiful, desirable object of art. Customers who wanted to protect themselves from "barbers itch" had the opportunity to purchase a shaving mug of their own; they could have their name printed on it in gold script, and if they desired could add an illustration that would represent their trade, fraternal organization, or hobby. This has resulted in one of the most interesting and beautiful forms of American folk art, that gives us a rare glimpse of bygone people and their trades. It is little wonder that shaving mugs are now so avidly sought by collectors! The book contains hundreds of superb full color illustrations with the information collectors need to appreciate their history and value. It also includes collectors terms, a section on barber bottles, value guide, and much more. This book is sure to be loved by collectors, dealers, barbers, artists...pretty much everyone!

|
Described by Horace Walpole as "An original genius, a citizen of nature", English woodcarver Grinling Gibbons, who lived from 1648 to 1721 was all of that, and more. Gibbons' spectacular carving style, which ornaments, among other places, Windsor Castle, St. Paul's Cathedral and many of the great country homes of England, has influenced woodcarving in the British Isles and beyond to this day. Here in this beautifully presented and well researched work author David Esterly recounts the life of Gibbons, including his early failures and, later, his spectacular success. Spectacular color photographs of his greatest carvings, commissioned especially for this volume, make this a book that will be consulted form years to come. Esterly's background as a woodcarver himself is especially helpful and evident in his analysis of Gibbons' carving style. Whether you are a student of history, a lover of art, a carver of wood or all of the above, this book will provide countless hours of enjoyment. Price: $0.00 |

Fascinating details on various pieces, their origins, and their makers make the jewelry come alive.Beautifully arranged full-color photographs of cameos, hair combs, hat pins, necklaces, buckles, chokers, lockets, and many other pieces handsomely complement the text.

The effects of history, culture, and materials on jewelry-and the effects of jewelry on culture-are intricately interwoven. A price guide and index are included. Price: $29.95 |
