Pub Beer Mugs and Glasses
ISBN: 9780747806561 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Pub mugs form an interesting aspect of Britain's history. They were not just drinking vessels, but also measures, and as such the subject of much regulation, because drinkers wanted to be sure of receiving what they had paid for. The pint itself has a chequered history and is an anomaly alongside today's metric system. The question of a fair pint has never been resolved: should it include the 'head' or not? Drawing from a wide range of sources, the author has brought together all these strands to give the first ever overview of 350 years of beer mug history.

Anniversary Clocks
ISBN: 9780747807339 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The mechanical anniversary clock, also known as the 400-day clock or torsion pendulum clock, is one of the most popular clocks ever invented. Anniversary clocks are recognizable by the decorative balls beneath the dial that rotate one way and then the other. To house the attractive mechanism, every style of clock case has been used although perhaps the most endearing is the glass dome. The dials, hands and ornamentation have also varied steadily over the last century. Called the anniversary clock because it needed winding only once a year, it has carried on into the days of no winding at...

ISBN: 9780747807315 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Jet, a hard, black, shiny gem closely related to coal, has been fashioned into jewelry and trinkets for generations. During the Victorian period, when the ritual surrounding death and the long mourning of Queen Victoria made black fashionable, jet became hugely popular. Although jet is found elsewhere in the world, it is the jet from Whitby that excites collectors to such an extent that even jet jewelry manufactured elsewhere is often called Whitby Jet. This book traces the history of jet and the Whitby jet industry, examining different types and styles of jet jewelry, and pictures the work...

British Campaign Medals of the First World War
ISBN: 9780747808435 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Britain has issued medals rewarding war service since at least the early nineteenth century, and increasingly through the period of its imperial expansion prior to 1914, but examples of many of the early types are now scarce. However, few families escaped some involvement with "the Great War" of 1914-18, and many still treasure the medals awarded to their ancestors for wartime service. Today, with a growing interest in British military history and particularly in family history and genealogy, more and more people want to trace their ancestors' past. This book looks in detail at the origin,...

Confederate Currency
ISBN: 9780747810803 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. With the outbreak of the U. S. Civil War in 1861, the Confederate States of America began issuing its own paper money. Over the years, seven different series of currency were issued. Counterfeiting became a significant problem for the South, as did depreciation and inflation. By the end of the war, the notes were worthless, but within the decade their collectability was on the rise. Today, some notes can easily garner thousands of dollars. Uniquely designed and hand-signed, the paper money of the South tells the story of the new nation. Confederate currency expert Pierre Fricke illustrates...

Old television embraces more than eighty years of progress, from the crude experiments of John Logie Baird in 1925, through the pioneering 405-line days at Alexandra Palace just before the Second World War, to the era when television entered most homes in the 1950s, and the growing sophistication of the 1960s, with the introduction of 625-line colour transmissions. Andrew Emerson explores the British heritage of the black-and-white era of television, and the first years of color up to the early 1980s and the launch of the popular British television channel, Channel 4.

Wherever in the world today children play with toys, the odds are that their playthings will have been made in the Far East and carry the imprint of a major American Corporation like Mattel or Hasbro. It was not always so: for much of the twentieth century, it was the British firm of Lines Brothers which claimed to be the Earth's largest toy manufacturer, growing so rapidly after its foundation in the 1920s that it became the world's first multi-national toy enterprise. Aided by ownership of the internationally-renowned toy shop, Hamleys of London, manufacturing plants in Europe and the major...

Bookplates of the Kings: Christine Price's Catalogue of Royal Bookplates
ISBN: 9780944285824 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Possibly the formal study of book plates can be dated to the work of Lord de Tabley in the 1880s. He attempted a schema of British plates, starting with the pre-Reformation period and identifying Jacobean, Queen Anne and Georgian styles. Plates as a reflection of the times have continued to multiply and, with the advent of the ebook, a growing number of plates are appended to electronic books. Royal bookplates, as this volume illustrates, are an important aspect of the subject. A Guide to the Study of Book-Plates (Ex-Libris), by Lord de Tabley (then the Hon. J. Leicester Warren M.A.) was...

ISBN: 9781494970000 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From the author of "Train Madness," Model Train Madness tells the story of the author's obsession with model trains. The book describes the author's early interest in model trains starting with the Lionel train sets he received as Christmas presents as a child. It continues with how this interest was renewed when he was a young man by visits to a HO scale model railroad in his neighbor's basement, to building his own model railroad, then building one for his three children and later expanding it to be part of his model railroad layout. The book then covers the evolution of his model railroad...

State Revenue Stamps
ISBN: 9781517764357 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. I have been a stamp collector for over 40 years, a postal historian and a philatelist for about 15 of those years and a specialist collector of revenue stamps and documents for the last 5 years. I've been a member of some the most friendly and well-run groups you could ever imagine - the State Revenue Society and the American Philatelic Society are both examples of best practice - and I even flirted briefly with philatelic exhibiting. Despite having served such a lengthy apprenticeship I still don't have an answer to a really basic question: Why are postage stamps catalogued, collected and...
