Hard Cover Full Gloss. Condizione: As New. No Jacket. ### The NEW Observers Book of Cats - 1987 ### THIS BOOK: New Series and format, hardcover that is laminated and a 'Glossie'. The same quality of content and images, just more upto date and looks as though a higher resolution is used or the printing method is upto date also. They feel a quality and able to stand up to use far better than previously. The Observer's Books were a series of small, pocket-sized books, published by Frederick Warne & Co in the United Kingdom from 1937 to 2003. They covered a variety of topics, including hobbies, art, history and wildlife. These books aimed to interest the observers, and they have also been popular amongst children. Some of them have become collector's items. For the dedicated collector, this could be a lifetime's work as there are over 800 variations, some of which are now rare. The values of the books can vary from 50 pence to hundreds of pounds. Until 1969, books printed had dust covers. Each one had a unique pattern of squiggly lines at the top, but these were not very especially practical because they were easy to rip and stain. From 1970, the covers received a glossy coating. Books of this type are generally called "Glossies". From the late 1970s, Warne decided to laminate the books cover to the actual books to make them sturdier and more resistant to wear. The first Observer's guide was published in 1937 and was on the subject of British birds. A mint copy with a dust cover is worth hundreds of pounds: also a British wild-flowers book was produced. A mint copy of this book is worth around £220. When the popularity of these was recognized, more titles produced. 'uniform in the series', but during World War II production was limited due to paper and labour shortages. Even so, by 1941 Warne had published the first six Observer's books. ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS?

Lots of photograph's over 200. ## ~#~ The railway companies were the most extensive patrons of new architecture in the nineteenth century. Many of their buildings were of a new kind, and others posed novel problems of construction. Style and technique united as the railways sought to combine the prestige and elegance of this new form of travel with crucial and imaginative innovations in engineering. As a result of this synthesis, the railways have left a significant contribution to our architectural heritage. The railway stations themselves, both big and small, provide a compendium of Victorian eclecticism ? with styles ranging from Classical, Gothic, TudorJacobean, "Renaissance" and Deuxiäme Empire to cottage orné and vernacular revival. But the glories of railway architecture do not stop at stations. Engine sheds, bridges, viaducts and the towns and villages built by the companies all show the same attention to detail, the same combination of functional and aesthetic, and often the same vitality as their more familiar counterparts. The hotels were to accommodate the wealthier passengers also have their special sumptuousness. This study of the various types of railway buildings has contributions by leading authorities in their fields. Particular attention is paid to the spoliation, destruction of buildings under attack, a reduction in the rail network and the modernization of what remains. The extent of danger is assessed and, the experience of other countries is drawn upon to suggest uses for redundant buildings. An appendix of stations gives an unrivalled collection of dates, architects' names and styles. The book includes over 200 photographs, many of them especially taken. Together with the comprehensive essays, they form a unique record of the British industrial architectural heritage ~#~ ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS?
