Imprint: London, Doubleday, 1998 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. A novel based on Albert Einstein's daughter Lieserl, of which little is known, but not to literature, for here the author has imagined an amazing yet plausible life for this indomitable woman, one that spans the scientific history of the modern world. From the theory of relativity to the atomic bomb, as she moves from the plains of Hungary to the death camps of Germany to the laboratory at Los Alamos, for Lieserl's sole burning desire is to beat her father at his own game, to teach him that his actions - whether giving away a daughter or unlocking the secrets of the universe - have consequences that cannot be denied.

At a rambling Victorian country house in the Buckingham countryside thousands of young men and women had spent the last war working arduously long hours minding deafening Bombe machines, decoding and translating intercepted messages, while some of Britain's most brilliant mathematical minds effectively invented modern computing. The result, and their greatest collective achievement, was the cracking of Germany's 'Enigma' code, in which its most important military communications were couched. Now for the first time the history of Bletchley Park from the point of view of the ordinary men and women who worked there is written. D4F. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

When a young girl's body is found on a stretch of Devon wasteland, the finger points at local man Angus Dillon. Although there's not enough evidence to charge him, the trauma of the accusation tips Angus into depression and alcoholism, causing his marriage to crumble. Five years later, when a second body is found in the same desolate place, Angus finds himself under suspicion again. This time the DNA evidence is compelling. With police, press and public opinion firmly against him, only one person is convinced of his innocence: the first victim's aunt has come to know this gentle, intelligent man and is determined to prove he is the victim of a flawed investigation.

Imprint: Stroud, Gloucestershie, The History Press, 2017 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An As New unmarked copy with an As New dustjacket which is not price clipped. First illustrated edition. Oblong format of 118 pages. Fought over three torturous months in 1917, the Third Battle of Ypres, or Passchendaele, was one of the most pitiless and iconic sets of battles of the First World War. The fighting raged through some of the worst physical conditions of the entire conflict, across battlefields collapsing into endless mud and blood as the weather turned against them. When it ended, the front line had moved by only a few hundred yards. Casualties numbered 500,000. In his richly illustrated commemoration of this bloodiest of battles, Chris McNab brings to life the Passchendaele story using fact boxes, maps and poignant first-person accounts, while images from AirSeaLand Photos provide a stark, moving look at the horrific conditions men of all sides were tasked to fight in. 11.

Imprint: London, Century, 2001 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 32 illustrations.The tragic tale of the Romanovs is well known : how on 17th July 1918 the Tsar, the Tsarina, their four daughters and sick son were led down to a basement in Ekaterinburg and murdered in cold blood by a Bolshevik firing squad. The DNA analysis and identification of the bones were the conclusive proof the world was waiting for, and the case considered closed - until now. The author's controversial, groundbreaking new account challenges this accepted view, and she presents convincing new scientific analysis questioning the authenticity of the 'Romanov' bones and uncovers an extraordinary tale of espionage and double dealing that has been kept secret for more than 80 years. Based on the extensive study of Allied and Bolshevik documents, including recently declassified intelligence files, McNeal reveals the existence of a shadowy group of intelligence working at the highest levels of Allied, Bolshevik and German governments to free the Imperial family and guide them to safety. Most controversially of all, she believes that one of these plots may, possibly, have succeeded - and she has compelling ecvidence to support it. L. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

Before she was a detective, before she was a reluctant wife and distracted mother, before she was even a debutante, Dandy Gilver spent one perfect summer with the Lipscotts of Pereford. The golden memories of it have sustained her through many a cold snap in Perthshire. So when two of the Lipscott sisters beg her to help the third, she can hardly refuse. Sweet, pretty Fleur Lipscott: where is she now? The astonishing answer to this is that Fleur - still Miss Lipscott, indeed more Miss Lipscott than ever - is buried alive in the tiny seaside village of Portpatrick, working as a schoolmistress at St Columba's College for Young Ladies. But she is one of the few remaining, for St Columba's has been shedding mistresses as a snake its skins and the exodus is far from over. With mistresses vanishing and corpses mounting up, can Mrs Gilver, detective, pass herself off as Miss Gilver, English mistress, to solve the one and stop the other?. Book Condition: As New.

The author gives a vivid account of the postwar period in Canadian and American aviation circles, when war surplus aircraft abounded, to be bought and sold for a song; returning aircrew vied with each other and with governments for a slice of the action, but many newly founded enterprises went to the wall. Some, like the author's own Worldwide Aviation Company, survived only by the ingenuity of their founders in discovering fresh corners of the market to exploit.

A near Fine unmarked copy which has a small name to front endpaper with VG dustjacket which is not price clipped. xiv + 253 pages. 19 illustrations. Versatile, gregarious Henry Monnier was so typical of the 19th century Paris of which he was a quasi-satirical exponent that this colourful biography takes the reader on delightful excursions into the mores of French life and the changing modes of thought during the Restoration, the July Monarchy, and the Second Empire. As lithographer and illustrator second only to Daumier among the satiric artists, he created that epitome of the bourgeois type, Monsieur Joseph Prudhomme, the French Babbitt. Monnier's realistic techniques as monologuist and character actor foreshadowed the later work of Antoine and the Théâtre Libre. As a writer he produced lifelike scenes of manners that influenced Balzac and the Realists, and possibly Flaubert. The diversity of his talents and variety of his friendships included Balzac, who admired him greatly, Mérimée, Eugène Sue, George Cruikshank, Gavarni, Dumas, Latouche. **** NOT EX LIB **** 24.

Sir Robert Gordon Menzies was Prime Minister of Australia from 1939-41 and 1949-66. The book is the second volume of reminiscences of the most distinguished and best-loved Commonwealth statesman. He brings to it all the frankness, informality and humour that made Afternoon Light such a refreshing rarity among political memoirs - the same quaities that he displayed during the eighteen years in which he presided over the making of the modern Australia. The record of those eighteen years is the heart of the book. C3C. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Near Fine Stock number: 009956. ISBN: 0304936464

Imprint: London, Doubleday, 1990 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy apart from a neat inscription and date to front endpaper with a VG+ price clipped dustjacket. 228 pages. 18 illustrations. Princess Ekaterina Meshcherskaya was born in 1904, and lived the latter part of her life in Moscow in a tiny caretaker's apartment surrounded by relics and souvenirs of her family's past, the last of the Russian princesses living in Russia. Glasnost has enabled this remarkable woman to publish her story for the first time. She was only 13 years old when the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917, and unlike the vast majority of aristocrats who fled the country after the Revolution, she and her mother forged new lives in a society now resentful and hostile towards the privileged classes. Their world of servants, pedigree dogs, a Greek tutor, French and German governesses, vast estates, was lost at a stroke, leaving them alone and penniless. Yet Ekaterina and her mother, a musically talented and iron willed young woman, overcame the challenges, denounced and arrested constantly, and Ekaterina worked in countless jobs as seamstress, dancer, singing teacher, even wartime ditch digger, in order to survive.
