Vintage White Enamelware Coffeepot Rusty Shabby Rustic

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 00:00:00 -0600

Vintage white enamelware coffeepot with a three tiered lid, and a gooseneck spout. Measures app. 11 1/2 in. tall x 7 in. wide at the base. Old, rusty and shabby it looks great. Definitely not for making coffee any longer but will look great for displaying dried flower arrangements or kitchen utensils. There is an old screw/nut repair near the bottom to close up a small hole. The repair worked and the pot does hold water. I purchased the pot years ago in pretty much the condition it is in now (including screw/nut repair) and used it on top of my wood stove to add moisture to the air. The lid is no longer attached to the pot but a narrow bolt or heavy wire could be used to secure the lid to the pot again. The hinge and hinge holes are still sturdy. I don't heat with wood now so it's time to pass this rusty lovely on.

Florence Ceramics Shell Dish Pink Roses Vintage

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 00:00:00 -0600

A lovely vintage divided shell shaped dish measuring app. 9 x 6 1/4 x 2 1/4 inches. It is a creamy soft pink with soft gray peeking through the pink along the edges. There are delicate pink roses and green leaves decorating the center divide and some gold detailing. No cracks or breaks. With my magnifying glass I can see 4 teensy tiny nicks on the petal edges. My opinion is this was during manufacture because I see shiny glaze over, except for one nick where I don't see glaze and feel this happened after manufacture. The bottom is marked Florence Ceramics Pasedena California. These do not take away from how very pretty this dish is. A nice addition for your cottage or shabby chic decor.

Donna Parker - On Her Own Vintage 1957 Nice cover art

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sat, 01 Dec 2012 00:00:00 -0600

This is one title in the Donna Parker childrens book series of which there are seven titles published during the late 1950's to mid 1960's. The series was then revamped with new cover art in the late 1960's and then reprinted with a smaller, non-glossy picture cover and then discontinued in the 1970's. From what I found researching on the internet, this is #3 in the series BUT the back pages of this book have lists of several series with Donna Parker being one list. There are 5 titles in this list which place this title at #4. Donna Parker is a young teen living with her family in Summerfield, a small town about two hours from New York City. In this title she gets a taste of independence and with that come big responsibilities and new worries.

Never a man to leave something half done, even when the powerful Star Lords commanded otherwise, the Earthman Dray Prescot knew his task on the mysterious continent of Havilfar was far from completed.

There were cruel conquerors to be overthrown, there was pursuit of the manhounds and their masters, and there was Delia, his princess.

Delia was coming, with an air fleet from Vallia, but before he could hope for help, there was to be an arena. Could he survive the life of a gladiator against the killers and monsters of a spoiled queen - while the Star Lords waited for his mission to be resumed?

Water and Architecture Charles W. Moore HC DJ

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0600

The interplay of water and architecture has intrigued world-renowned architect Charles W. Moore and internationally acclaimed photographer Jane Lidz for decades. Their mutual interest has resulted in "Water and Architecture", a collaboration of vibrant, poetic images and words in which the two reveal the expressive force of water, one of the most powerful and versatile of architectural elements.

In his lively, insightful text, Moore first addresses the symbolism of water as a design element, then examines the specific uses of water in a wide spectrum of architectural structures - fountains and waterfalls, rivers and canals, lakes and pools, and oceans and island - concluding with a look at basic design principles and environmental issues. Following each chapter are Lidz's spectacular color photographs - 130 in all - which bring the sites and ideas discussed vividly to life. The inspirational beauty of these images captures the essence of each design.

The scope of the book is impressive. The architecture ranges in style from classical to postmodern and includes places both celebrated and secret, from splendid palaces to humble plazas, waterfront skylines to private pools. Equally broad is the worldwide geographical span of the book: Bali, Belgium, China, England, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Spain, Thailand, and the United States are represented in Lidz's photographs.

The text sections are accompanied by black-and-white documentary illustrations and architectural plans. A comprehensive list of the color photographs and an index round out this magnificent volume, which speaks not only to architects and designers but also to lovers of art, photography, gardens, and travel - to anyone who has ever been enthralled by the mystical power of water.

180 illustrations, including 130 photographs in full color.

Our Lady of Fatima Plaque N.S. Do Rosario Da Fatima

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0600

A lovely circular religious plaque made of wood with an inset bass-relief made of pewter(?) depicting Our Lady of Fatima, the three children she appeared to surrounded by sheep and trees and embellished with detailed floral work spaced around the border. A magnet does not stick to the metal so I'm guessing it is pewter. The bas-relief has the wording, N.S. Do Rosario Da Fatima 1917. N.S. are initials for Nossa Senhora which is Portuguese for "Our Lady". 1917 is the date Our Lady appeared to the three children. The bottom floral embellishment has the words, Recordacao De Fatima (Recollection Of Fatima). The plaque measures 5 1/4 inches across. It has a stand in the back for displaying the plaque on a shelf, your bedside table or wherever you would like to place it. The little ball feet have minor scuff wear. The wood has no cracks and is in good condition.

Zen The Art of Modern Eastern Cooking

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0600

Zen: The Art of Modern Eastern Cooking by Deng Ming Dao. Soma Books 1998. Printed in Italy. Hardcover with unclipped dustjacket. Measures 9 3/8 x 9 3/8 inches with 160 pages with index.

Balance and wholeness are important on every level. The cooking process itself, for example, begins by electing to use only fresh seasonal produce and ends by conscientiously recycling leftovers and minimizing waste. Classic Zen dishes like Five-Color Stir-Fry and creative East-West recipes like Mango Ginger Gazpacho teach the reader of this book that the concept of balance is the key to achieving a Zen approach to food, whether through mindful presentation or harmonization of flavors.

A zen approach to cooking is the perfect antidote to our harried modern lives, and by practicing it's basic tenets as they apply to our eating habits we open our lives to the simple clarity and reason that zen offers.

One way to cope is by using a slow cooker once or twice a week. This modern appliance uses an old-fashioned cooking method: long, slow cooking at a controlled temperature setting. Our great-grandmothers used this technique when they set a soup or stew to simmer at the back of the stove for most of the day. it's a good way to utilize less expensive cuts of meat and still produce a tender, flavorful dish.

Slow cookers relieve us of most of the last-minute fuss before a meal. By quickly preparing the ingredients the night before or early in the day and then putting the slow cooker to work, we can look forward to a delicious, home-cooked meal several hours later.

This book will provide you with many time-saving recipes that will surely become favorites in your household. The recipes are organized in order of cooking time; that is the shortest ones are at the beginning of the book and the longest ones at the end. Check each recipe for the temperature setting that will give you the cooking time you want.

Western Novel Author Alexander Leslie Scott

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0600

(1893-1974) began writing western novels when in his early twenties, often building the story line from his own experiences. A high volume writer, Scott wrote in the area of 250 western novels using various pen names.

Alexander Leslie Scott created the character, Texas Ranger Jim Hatfield and wrote 55 of the stories in the Texas Ranger series under the pseudonym/house-name of Jackson Cole.

A dispute with Standard Magazines led to Scott losing rights to the Hatfield character he created. He then went on to create the Walt Slade series writing under the pseudonym/house-name of Bradford Scott and contributed around 125 stories to the series.

Stratemeyer Syndicate

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0600

Nancy Drew
Hardy Boys
Bobbsey Twins
Tom Swift
Bunny Brown
The Dana Girls
Honey Bunch

These are just a few of the best loved series many of us enjoyed reading during our childhood. Countless enjoyable hours were spent reading and coming to enjoy a favorite authors works. But who really are the authors of these titles?

When one does a little investigation we find that many of the named authors are merely pen names or pseudonyms used by the Stratemeyer Syndicate.

Edward Stratemeyer was born in 1862 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He began writing stories for magazines in the 1880s. Stratemeyer married Magdalene Van Camp in 1891 and their daughter Harriet was born, in 1892.

Stratemeyer completed several manuscripts left by the late authors Horatio Alger and William T. Adams. With that accomplished he then started his own adventure series for boys, The Rover Boys adventures under the pen name Arthur M. Winfield and published between 1899 and 1926.

As Stratemeyer succesfully captured much of the fiction market for boys' and girls', he started to contract out most of his stories to ghostwriters who filled out general plot outlines he had scripted.

Laura Lee Hope was one such pseudonym. She is attributed to having authored:

The Bobbsey Twins

The Outdoor Girls

The Moving Picture Girls

Bunny Brown

Six Little Bunkers

Make Believe Stories

Blythe Girls

The actual authors taking up the pen name of Laura Lee Hope were Edward Stratemeyer, Harriet (Stratemeyer) Adams, Nancy Axelrad and Howard and Lilian Garis.

No matter who the actual writers were, I have many fond memories reading my favorite books as a child.

The Dray Prescot Series

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0600

A rousing adventure series of the science fiction "sword and planet" sub-genre. Comprised of fifty three novels and numerous related short stories written by Alan Burt Akers, a pseudonym of Kenneth Bulmer. The series consists of eleven cycles of novels with each cycle forming a series within the series. There are four novels and three short stories that are stand-alone narratives which fall outside the system of cycles. Each tale is narrated in the first person by the central figure who is Dray Prescott. The later volumes were by lined "by Dray Prescot as told to Alan Burt Akers" to make it appear that fictional Dray Prescot was the real author.

The first thirty-seven titles were published by DAW Books from December 1972 to April 1988. Later volumes were published only in German by Wilhelm Heyne Verlag from 1991 to 1998, except for volumes 38 to 41, which were also issued by electronic publisher Savanti, as ebooks in the English language from September 1995 to December of 1998. Savanti is no longer in business. Mushroom eBooks picked up publishing the series as English language ebooks of the saga.

The setting for this series is the fictional world of the planet Kregen, a planet of the Antares star system in the constellation of Scorpio. Seeded with intelligent life-forms from other worlds, Kregen, being similar to earth, is also inhabited by human beings.

Earthman Dray Prescot, an English sailor of Nelson's navy is mysteriously teleported to the planet Kregen. Carrying out various missions and rising to power he secures his place on Kregen, and marries his beloved Delia. Prescot's ongoing goals include the suppression of slavery in Paz and building a coalition against the marauding Shanks, a Viking-like race of fish-headed Diffs who raid the coasts of Paz from a base in the opposite hemisphere of Kregen.

The cycles are:
The Delian Cycle The Havilfar Cycle The Krozair Cycle The Vallian Cycle The Jikaida Cycle The Spikatur Cycle The Pandahem Cycle The Witch War Cycle The Lohvian Cycle The Balintol Cycle The Phantom Cycle

Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0600

Cookbooks have become a main attraction for me over the past few years so I always have my eyes open for them. This gem of a cook book turned up in a box of books. It's a 1956 version of the Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book. Its 472 pages have lots of illustrations in color and black and white. There are over 2,000 recipes. I like spiral, comb and ring binders. This cookbook is the 5 ring binding format with a handsomely illustrated cover.

Looking through this cookbook brings back fond memories of my Grammy's kitchen and Sunday dinners. Among my favorites were her pot roast and the hot homemade rolls that were often served with a pot roast dinner. Or beef stew with dumplings. And strawberry shortcake with garden fresh strawberries. Yummy!

The illustrations are so charming.

Oh and I found a recipe for golden rod eggs! Who remembers preparing golden-rod eggs in home-economics class? They are so easy to make. I used to make them for my kids when they were little and they always looked forward to putting the yolks through a sieve and sprinkling them over the creamed eggs and toast. I still love eggs prepared this way!

Rose Leaves 1937 Yearbook Knox School Cooperstown NY

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0600

Rose Leaves for 1937 Yearbook

The Senior Class at Knox School, Cooperstown NY. The Dubois Press.

Brown sueded leather binding with impressed seal and a name. The name and seal are time worn but using my magnifying glass I can make out the name "Ginny Newberrry" and judging by the well wishes written inside, her peers expected her to be class president the following (senior) year. The lighting and my camara managed to capture the name and seal but under normal lighting it is not that easy to read. The back of the yearbook includes names and addresses of all faculty and students and Ginny was from Ridgewood, New Jersey. Advertisements in the back pages. One advertisement page is for the champion, underwood typewriter which is detached. Measures 10 3/4 in. x 7 3/4 in. with 93 pages.

Faculty, student and class photos throughout. This is an extremely rare yearbook.

Just some interesting notes.......Research has shown that from 1920 to 1954 the Knox School for Girls occupied a portion of the land mark Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown NY which is confirmed at knoxschool.org/page.cfm?p=10. The Otesaga Hotel is said to have a haunted history and was a subject for the TV show Ghost Hunters.

Condition:

The leather has some chipping at the head and heal of the spine. Aside from the one detached ad the rest of the yearbook is intact with cover attached.

Outlaw Land by Bradford Scott Pyramid Books G 951 1st Walt Slade

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:00:00 -0600

Black Gold was replacing green grass as a source of profit in Gunlock, Texas, when Walt Slade rode in to investigate a case of cattle rustling. Like the Comanches of old, a vicious gang of renegades had suddenly swept out oft the barren Cito hills, and Slade's orders were to track them down, single handed.

The Ranger ace took one look at the tall derricks dotting the blue skies at Gunlock and knew that the stakes were far higher than local short horners imagined. His suspicion fell on a smooth-talking businessman from back East. When lead slugs hammered into his blanket one night and a heavy beam barely missed his head the next morning, Slade figured he was right. But the ranger had to match bullets against five outlaws on a shaky oil rig before peace came at last to outlaw land.

Scord kicked Felipe viciously and said, "Peel off his shoes and socks and go to work."

In his hiding place in the barn, Colt tensed and took a tighter grip on his gun.

"Got plenty of matches?" Scord asked. "Put them under his toenails and let them burn down to the stub. See how many you can get under his big toenail at once. Old Comanche trick. "Scord's men roared with laughter.

"If he hasn't talked by the time I get back, I'll coach you," Scord said, walking away. "Must be twenty, thirty ways I know of."

Now Colt knew he had to act fast. He lit a match along the sole of his boot and tossed it into the straw. Then he made his move....

Softcover cook book measuring 7 1/16 inches x 4 7/16 inches with 336 pages.

Part 0ne - Herbs for health beauty
Part Two - Herbs for cookery
Part Three - Cookery recipes

Many requests have come to us for a book of herb recipes. We feel, however, that health and cookery can and should go hand in hand. To many people healthy eating conjures up tasteless lettuce leaves and expensive meats. We endeavour to explode this idea....

Herbs as cures for a host of bedevilling ailmentsâ€”refreshing, invigorating herb teas, herbs as the natural way to beauty, herbs in diets and invalid cooking, herbs for sheer delight in everyday cooking of meat, fish, vegetables, sweets, etc., herbed drinks both alcoholic and soft.

In these days of drugs with unpleasant side effects and of synthetic packaged foods there is a marked re awakening of interest in nature's pure herbal remedies and recipes. Here is a book that admirably covers both fields. It is at the same time an excellent cookery book with simple as well as gourmet recipes.

condition: No inscriptions or markings noted. Has light toning. The pages and cover are intact and in very good condition.

The Bird Book, Bird Neighbors by Neltje Blanchan Ill. Pairpoint

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0600

To Neltje Blanchan, birds were not merely natural history specimens to be measured and classified and ticketed with Latin names, although she was familiar with all the scientific facts about our feathered neighbors and her descriptions were authoritative. Her interest in birds lay in their character, their beauty, and their economic relation to the balance of nature. She knew and has described the friendships and the feuds between bird families. To Neltje Blanchan, in short, each bird, whether of thicket, field, swamp, forest, or the heights of mountain peaks, was a thing of life and individuality. In one of her notes we find this description of a crow: With a heart as black as his feathers, common as sin itself. This pungent phrase is characteristic of the author's writing.

The artist, Nellie M. Pairpoint, has somewhat the same feeling about birds that Neltje Blanchan had, and her drawings, both black and white and color, are an interpretation with pen and brush of the living, glowing creatures. These pictures are made as the birds would be in action when the sun and shadow enhance the plumage, and not as the dry-as-dust specimens exhibited in museums.

The publishers take great satisfaction in bringing together in one volume Neltje Blanchan's text and Miss Pairpoint's pictures, one being a complement of the other.

The Bird Book, Bird Neighbors by Neltje Blanchan. Illustrated with beautiful drawings in color and b/w by Nellie M. Pairpoint.

Cheyenne Saturday by Richard Jessup Gold Medal 647 PBO

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 00:00:00 -0600

Somewhere out there, beyond the buffalo, Goose Face was waiting and planning slaughter.

Goose Face, the savage, young Cheyenne marauder thirsting for the blood of the enemy whites for the blood of the army of sweating men who drove the great iron horse straight at him.

For the Union Pacific was going through, its shining tracks flung westward to the sea.

Riding point for the railhead was Nathan Ellis, the tall Texan scout who gloried in battle and longed for a chance at the renegade chieftain hidden in ambush in the tall grass beyond.

Pounding hard at his heels was Liza Reeves, the dirty-faced beauty in buckskins, fighting as fiercely as any three men until the woman in her laid eyes on Nathan Ellis.

Together they led the Union Pacific's stand against Goose Face, hurling back his charge in a ring of fire, smoke-blackened and bloody with wounds but vowing not to fall back one inch until every howling warrior had fallen or until the railhead was no more.

USS Arkansas BB 33 Navy Crew Photo Framed

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 00:00:00 -0600

This is a panorama photograph of the crew of USS Arkansas BB 33. This is not a print. The photo is framed in a brown wooden frame and is ready for hanging. The frame measures 49 inches x 12.5 inches.
The photo shoot takes place with the crew on board ship and on the dock along side the ship. It is unknown where the ship was docked at the time of this photo.

There is no date on the photo.

Research of visible characteristics of the ship shows this photo may have been taken between late 1930s to early 1940s.

The USS Arkansas (BB-33) was one of the oldest battleships to serve in World War Two. 562 feet long, weighing 27,000 tons, armed with twelve 12 inch guns. A Dreadnought era battleship and was sunk in postwar weapons tests.
Laid down on January 25 1910 at Camden, N.J., by the New York Shipbuilding Co. She was launched on January 14 1911; commissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on September 17 1912 with Capt. Roy C. Smith in command.

It was hard to get pictures without any glare. I have shown the full width along with some closeups. Included is a closeup of some of the officers on of the ship. If anyone recognizes any of them or has any other information feel free to contact me.

The photo does have a 1/2 inch horizontal closed tear at the left edge.

Much can be learned about the USS Arkansas at this website

The I Hate to Cook Book Peg Bracken Quick and Easy Recipes

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 00:00:00 -0600

More than 180 Quick and Easy Recipes
By Peg Bracken

Harcourt, Brace and World, New York. Copyright 1960, twentyfifth printing. Hard Cover with blue cloth binding with 176 pages. Measures 8 1/4 in. x 5 3/4 in. Drawings by Hillary Knight.

To come right to the point if you have a kitchen (pullman or otherwise) in your home and are expected to cook in it, but HATE to cook this book is for you. It is such a clever book that no one need ever know how much you do hate to cook. The more than 180 recipes are quick, easy, and tested by other housewives who used to feel hostile to the kitchen. Not only are the recipes as simple as ABC, but they're imaginative as well. Easy meals don't have to be dull, and Peg Bracken proves it.

In addition to the recipes, there is lots of sound�and very amusing�advice about kitchen problems. Peg Bracken discusses leftovers ("when in doubt, throw it out"), surefire entrees like Stayabed Stew and Sweep Steak, things to do with vegetables, salads and salad dressings, last-minute meals, potluck suppers, lunches for the girls, children's parties, and dinners to impress people. The recipes are excellent and Peg Bracken is very funny.

Foreword:

This edition of The Complete Saint Bernard is a major revision of the original book written by Milo Denlinger and others, and published in 1952. The historical portions remain substantially unchanged. Discussion of the breed as it exists today has been almost entirely revised, in order to keep pace with the increasing number of Saint Bernard fanciers, and with the widespread improvement they have created in the individual representatives of the breed.

Since the Saint Bernard was first recognized as a breed, there have been good, and great, representatives thereof. Along with the good ones, there have been many of the not so good. A breed so large, magnificent, surrounded by legend and beset by press agentry, true and untrue, and endowed with a size which magnifies every virtue and fault out of all proportion, is bound to have had trouble in achieving a definition as to what constitutes a good Saint Bernard.

This difficulty is now approaching resolution. Though it is neither cheap nor easy to have a Saint Bernard around the house, in the sense that it is neither cheap nor easy to have a wife, husband, son or daughter, the Saint has become a member of the family, a task for which he is well equipped.

During the past few years, Saint Bernard breeders and owners have grasped the vision of the ultimate dog, as big as canine structure will permit, as heavy of bone and body as his work requires, as gentle and yet indestructible as we hope all the members of our family will be.

We thank all Saint Bernard breeders and owners who have contributed to the support of this growing vision.

Dead In Texas by Bradford Pyramid Books 409 Scott Walt Slade

"I'm used to having folks do what I tell 'em," Bart said.

In a blur of movement his huge hand shot down and up. A long blade caught the light in evil gleams as it started toward Slade.

Splat! The forward lunging hand was blocked before it had traveled six inches around Bart's big wrist. Then Bart sat rigid, the razor edged point pressed against his own hairy throat. Every man present knew that a single jerk would rip Bart's throat from ear to ear.

"I'm going to give you a word of good advice," Slade said quietly. "When you pull a gun or a knife on a man, use it, before he uses it on you."

The Flavor Of France Cookbook The Chamberlains Vintage 1969

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0600

This delightful illustrated cookbook combines the best in traditional French family cooking with a photographic profile of France. The recipes demonstrate the good sense and good taste of the every-day French cook, whose kitchen repertory is less elaborate—and even more delicious—than many people suppose and adapts itself gracefully to American methods and menus. Samuel Chamberlain's nostalgic views of French chateaux and cathedrals, villages and cities, country roads and provincial architecture lend the flavor of France herself to this outline of practical French gastronomy.

Also included are an introduction giving the simple rules for French menu planning and for serving wines; a regional index of pictures; check-lists of provincial specialties and famous classic recipes; a bilingual index of recipe titles; and a collection of sample menus. The recipes have been translated into familiar American kitchen language and measurements, but they will give results as authentically French as the mellow landscapes of France which accompany them.

About the Authors:

Samuel and Narcissa Chamberlain have for many years championed the cause of French food for Anglo-Saxon kitchens—and in a fashion distinctly their own, for their books on the subject have always dealt as much with the charms of France herself as with the well known virtues of her food and wines.

To complete the present volume the family team of authors—Mr. Chamberlain, artist, photographer, and gastronome, and his wife, expert cook and kitchen tester—has been joined by a new member, their daughter, Narcisse, who planned and edited this collection of recipes.

The Chamberlain family learned to respect the traditions of French food during long residence in France. A French cook who once reigned in their kitchen was the heroine of their first cookbook. Clementine in the Kitchen. Since then, besides Samuel Chamberlain's many illustrated books in other fields, they have published two pictorial and gastronomic epics, Bouquet de France and Italian Bouquet, Mrs. Chamberlain's The Omelette Book, and, with their daughter, the annual Chamberlain Calendars of French Cooking and of American Cooking.

He Hanged Them High Homer Croy True Story Judge Parker

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0600

The true story of Judge Isaac C. Parker who ruled the Arkansas frontier with a hangman's rope.

"Fort Smith in 1875 was the wildest town in the United States. It had a population of 2500 last souls, thirty saloons doing a booming business and a red light section that never closed.

Into this hell on the border of Ihe Indian Territory came Isaac C. Parker like the conscience of the Lord, and as a Federal Judge he proceeded to make himself the most efficient legal executioner in American history. Within four months he had sentenced six men to be hanged and they were all executed at a public hanging to which 6000 people came. Year after year his dance of death went on. It never ceased. By the time his court was finally dissolved, this fanatical judge had actually hanged eighty eight men.

This is the authentic story of those rough days in Arkansas, bloodthirsty and brutal, yet still an exciting and true picture of what the frontier of the United States was really like in its turbulent and roaring heyday."

DEATH STRUGGLE!

A flat loop dropped over Slade's shoulders and pulled tight with a force that hurled him to the ground. His arms were pinned just above the elbows. He could not draw his guns, but he could reach the rope. Gripping it, the Ranger jerked with every ounce of strength. The outlaw at the other end gave a wild yell as he was swept off his feet and pulled through the air to land almost on top of Slade. The pair were locked in a deadly grapple. Over and over they writhed and tumbled. Slade's head hit a rock with stunning force. He knew he couldn't last long. He couldn't free his arms and the fingers clutching his throat tightened. The Ranger flung out his right hand and gripped the rope. With a sideways twist he flipped a loose coil around the outlaw's neck and hauled it downward, putting forth in one frantic effort the last of his failing strength. If he was going, he wouldn't go alone...

Walt Slade, Texas Ranger, target for a killer gang, in a land too wild for law!

What does a man do when fate makes him the protector of the royal head of his enemies? If it is Dray Prescot, Earthman on Antares, he sets aside his quest to do his duty. His duty was to reach Vallia and his princess. His duty was to defend Vallia's ancient foe and place its rightful heir on its throne, sworn to attack Vallia.

So when the third force, the pirate fleets known as the swordships came between the two contending demands, Dray saw that only by following his own personal star could the contradiction be resolved.

The Big Chocolate Cookbook Gertrude Parke 1968 cook book Vintage

sales@booksandunusuals.com (M.L. Rocha) — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 -0600

by Gertrude Parke

Funk & Wagnalls BCE, copyright 1968. Hard Cover, brown cloth binding with gold lettering and decoration on cover and spine measuring 9 1/4 in. x 6 3/8 in. with 325 pages.

Because chocolate is such a universal favorite no introduction to the pleasures of the table that are brought by chocolate need be given here. Not many cooks, however, take full advantage of the possibilities offered by chocolate, and The Big Chocolate Cookbook intends to remedy that situation immediately.

You will find in these pages not only the most appealing array of desserts— cakes pies. cookies, torten, angel food and sponge cakes. puddings, frozen and gelatin desserts—plus candy, beverages, and cake icings and frostings but also a very unusual chapter that gives several recipes for using chocolate with poultry in the Latin American manner. In the more conventional sections of the book the same imagination and flair for the unusual is combined with practicality by Gertrude Parke to bring new delights to the average cook's repertoire of sure-fire dishes.

A special chapter on the use of packaged mixes for quick tricks, all using chocolate to give them verve and distinction, will please busy cooks, and even those who are usually more leisurely will find this section useful when unexpected company arrives.

Even pancakes, waffles,and doughnuts can make good use of chocolate on occasion. Fruits with chocolate, cream puffs, eclairs and other small pastries, and sauces and syrups round out this collection and show that it lives up to its title, The Big Chocolate Cookbook.

The dustjacket has some spotting and edge tears. The page edges and rear end pages have some minor spotting. No inscriptions, not an ex library. The cover and pages are intact and in good condition.
