Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Acol in the 90s. Now for the first time in paperback, a complete account of modern Acol bidding. Acol has been the most popular system of bidding in Britain for over fifty years. New ideas are constantly proposed and tested and new styles have been developed in… many areas, such as Swiss game raises and the control-asking 4NT. An important convention such as the Multi-coloured Two Diamonds was noted in an earlier edition and is now part of every tournament player#s armoury, but there is still no general afreement about its best use. The authors describe many relatively new techniques in a system which is essentially practical and equally well suited to all forms of the game. The bidding style they advise is not difficult to master and is capable of carrying any pair to the highest level. 157 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.).

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. Mario Lanza. A Biography. Foreword by Jose Carreras.Few careers in modern music have been as colourful and controversial as Mario Lanza. The only son of Italian immigrant parents, the American-born tenor rose to dazzling heights in the world of entertainment in a career whic…h lasted a mere decade. Was he, as so many of his admirers fervently maintain, the logical successor to the great Caruso? Or was his talent misspent through his own extravagant and extrovert lifestyle? The author offers not only a carefully researched biographical account of this enigmatic star, but also a comprehensive listing of all his films, recordings and personal appearances. This fresh assessment of the man who did so much to popularize good music is a must for his countless admirers. Illustrated. 176 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Windmills have always been favoured by artists, and the book is illustrated by nearly 100 pen-and-ink drawings by the author. The windmill is not only an aesthetic delight, but also an important part of our technical development. For centuries windmills and watermills were the only complex pieces of machinery in use, and for the technically minded Mr. Brown describes the windmill's development in this country, its construction and how its intricate machinery worked.

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Our Gracie. Slight browning to bottom edge of back D/J. Foreword by Roy Hudd. This is the first full-length biography of an entertainer who was more loved and revered by her fellow-countryfolk than any other in modern times…. The BBC played her records to counter the Nazi propaganda of Lord Haw-Haw.We follow her life from childhood in Rochdale to the last years on Capril. We see her starring in stage shows in the 20s, in films in the 30s; incurring underserved publich hostility for her wartime marraige to an Italian citizen; boosting the morale of the troops; bouncing back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s with records in the hit parade and a triumphant last Royal Command performance at the age of 80; and finally, in the year of her death, made Dame Commander of the British Empire. Here is the full story of the woman inside the legend who became known the length and breadth of Britain - and indeed, the world - as 'Our Gracie'. Illustrated. 247 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
