128 p.; profusely illustrated. Dust jacket has general shelf wear and an impression to rear (also affecting read board). Faint watermark to Contents page, otherwise clean, bright, tightly bound, Fine condition. From dust jacket flaps: In a society governed by laws, there are perhaps no more important members than those who maintain order and ensure justice. Some use a gun and a badge, some an attache case and a book of statutes. But they all share a common zeal—to safeguard the lives and rights of their fellow citizens. Now in Lawmen, Crimebusters and Champions of Justice, these guardian angels, the institutions for which some of them work, and the system itself are given their due. In the first part of the book, "The Men," you will meet a diverse group of dedicated individuals. There is Wyatt Earp, the legendary lawman of Dodge City, Kansas; Wild Bill Hickok, the equally famous marshal of Abiline, Kansas; and Pat Garrett, the Lincoln County sheriff who gunned down Billy the Kid. There are the Old… Read More

4 leaves [unnumbered]; ill. (colour). Mild shelfwear and some erased pencil numbers inside, but all stickers are in Fine condition. 16 stickers of sixteen different paintings by Modigliani, including Paul Guillaume, The Swedish Girl, The Little Milkmaid, Reclining Nude, and others. From inside/back: Perhaps the greatest Italian artist of the twentieth century, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) created a number of memorable paintings during the last five years of his life that revealed an intriguing distortion of form and a sensitive use of color. Modigliani was an individualist whose paintings couldn't be categorized into any art movement. He was, however, influenced by Fauvism, Cubism, and African art. His artwork consists of portraits and nudes with simple forms and lines—many of them with elongated faces. To use the stickers, simple peel and apply.

From dust jacket (Googletrans):
Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine, Egypt: the titles of the chapters of this album immediately evoke images of violence, heartbreaks, armed conflicts... Charles Luke Powell has deliberately chosen to show only the beauty of these lands. An exceptional serenity permeates, like a light, his photographs: grandiose landscapes, lands and lives on the margins of time, ancestral gestures. His particular sensitivity, his sense of color and… Read More

From the DJ flaps:

The history of Scotland is like its landscape—full of peaks and valleys, of ruggedness and grandeur, of gentleness and calm splendor. Its story is inextricably linked with its larger neighbor England, but is completely individual. Although joined by the union of the crowns in the form of James VI of Scotland who became James I of England, there is no doubting Scotland's unique and special place in history. From Bannockburn to Braveheart, Bonnie Prince Charlie to Rabbie Burns, the Scots have proved to be a people whose character and ability have made their world influence disproportionate to the size of their country. This book looks at the many facets of Scotland from its Crown Jewels to its stunning geography… Read More
