Landmark Books were a series of history books published in the 1950's for children. I loved reading them as a kid, but got most of them from the library where the had dull covers without dustjackets. I've been picking some up at thrift shops. I really enjoy the cover art, and since I seem to barely be able to make a dent in my monthly upload limit, I'm sharing them with you.
The newly-wed adventurers.
The Voyage of the Waltzing Matilda by Philip Davenport 1953.
The newly-wed Philip and Roz Davenport, sailed around a major part of the World in a small 46’ Bermudian Cutter with a 53’ mast, leaving Sydney Harbour on October 1950. The cutter had just been constructed in Tasmania for the three adventurous Sydney brothers: Jack, Philip and Keith Davenport, who had all seen service as bomber pilots during World War 2 with the Royal Australian Air Force. Accompanying the 32 year-old Philip, and his wife Roz, was his brother, Keith and a sailing friend, Don Brown.
The Waltzing Matilda, named after a popular Australian folk song, visited New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil along the way before finishing in London in late 1951.

When the Comics Went to War is a colourful, authoritative history of the British war comic-book genre, from the first publications to appears in the 1860s to the last wave of new titles in the mid-1980s.
Featuring a wealth of materrial sourced from the original boys' comics and story-papers, this lavishly illustrated book charts the evolution of warfare as children lived through it, from the Boer War and the Great War of 1914-18 to the rise of the Nazis and the Second World War - and much more besides.
In the late 19th century, war comics had such a powerful effect on readers that they acted as recruitment tools for the British Army and Navy, inspiring young men to sign up to serve their country. Their popularity grew substantially throughout much of the 20th century, with titles such as Champion, The Wizard, Victor and Tiger achieving huge weekly sales from the 1950s to the 1970s. While the genre experienced a sharp decline in the late 1980s, by 2009 many vintage war comic titles were being resurrected and reprinted in significant numbers - a testament to their enduring popularity.
From Union Jack and Boys of the Empire to Battle and Combat, this unique and nostalgic celebration of war comics will jog the memories of older readers and introduce the magic of these war stories to a whole new generation.

I couldn't find this jacket on Amazon when I looked, so I'm posting it here, in case anyone needs/wants it.
Great book! Hugh Greene's introduction to these little-remembered, but prolific, mystery writers of the late 19th/early 20th century is fascinating and highly informative. William LeQuex (1864-1927) wrote perhaps 240 books in his lifetime!
Max Pemberton, Arthur Morrison, Guy Boothby, Clifford Ashdown, LTMead & Robert Eustace, Baroness Orczy, Austin Freeman, William Hope Hodgson, and Ernest Bramah are the others profiled and included.

"A Tiny Tidbit of Information for Your Enlightenment"…
A lot of different expressions have the word "dicken" in them.
Whys is that?
It goes back a lot further than Charles Dickens, though it does seem to have been borrowed from the English surname, most likely sometime in the sixteenth century or before. (The surname itself, no doubt, derives from Dickin or Dickon, familiar diminutive forms of Dick.)
It was, and still is, though people no longer know it, a euphemism for the Devil...much like the word deuce, as in old oaths.

“Opinions vary as to who is considered America’s greatest magician during the era of Thurston, Dante, Blackstone, Houdini, and Carter? But if we could ask these famous performers to name their favorite illusionist, we would likely hear five identical answers. Each of these legendary magicians was inspired by America’s reigning king of conjurers: Harry Kellar.
“The story of Kellar is a classic American success story. Shortly after arriving in Erie, Pennsylvania from Germany, a young couple gave birth to Heinrich Keller who would grow up to become the brightest star in the conjuring world. Kellar’s face was so universally associated with magic that he is believed to be the model for L. Frank Baum’s wizard in ‘The Wizard of Oz.’ But his struggle from total obscurity to the top-most rung on the ladder of success is a tale fraught with disappointment, personal tragedy, financial ruin, wild Indians, and shipwrecks. But ultimately it is a story of unbridled success achieved only after a considerable amount of luck, a few shady dealings, and a lifetime of hard work. Other men achieved fame in America using these same three attributes but in the world of magic, none climbed higher than Harry Kellar.” [From the blurb on the dustjacket]
----------------------------------------------
Harry Kellar (1849-1922) was one of the most famous American magicians of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known as the “Dean of American Magicians,” Kellar was renowned for his elaborate stage shows and innovative illusions. He began his career as an apprentice to Robert Heller and Isaiah Hughes, and later worked with the Davenport Brothers before forming his own successful magic troupe.
Kellar performed extensively on five continents, featuring iconic illusions such as the levitation of a girl (advertised as the “Levitation of Princess Karnac”) and “The Nested Boxes.” He captivated audiences, including royalty and presidents, with his grand and theatrical presentations. Kellar’s use of spiritualism and dark forces in his advertising was somewhat controversial. He implied that his skills were derived from supernatural powers, which attracted audiences but also raised eyebrows among skeptics. Despite this controversy and other challenges, including a shipwreck and financial difficulties, Kellar’s dedication to his craft and his ability to captivate audiences solidified his legacy as one of the greatest magicians of his time.
Kellar retired from performing in 1912 and passed away on March 10, 1922, in Los Angeles, California. His contributions to the world of magic continue to be celebrated, and his influence can be seen in the work of many magicians who followed in his footsteps.

The sun has gone mad and stripped the earth of its ionosphere. For decades blasting radiation has poured upon earth, melting the polar caps and turning permafrost into streams, rivers, oceans. Huge deltas have been built, lakes formed, seas have risen. The continents have been entirely altered. Jungles have crept and then rushed from the equator to Greenland. Siberia is a tropical nightmare. Mosquitoes the size of dragonflies carry horrendous new malarias. Mammals are on their way out, and iguanas have grown as large as horses. Ferns and clubmosses smother those part of ancient cities - New York, Berlin, Moscow, Peking - that are not drowned and offering steaming shelter to gigantic alligators and other saurians. As for humanity, well, there are only 5 million men and women left, living in the sub-tropical confinement of the Arctic and Antarctic circles.
It is as if history were rolled backward, as if the Triassic Age were here again. Man's science is useless against the solar furnace. And man's mind? Is that also slipping backward, far backward, to before the apes, to order the mammels, to the Triassic terror itself?
This novel - written in lucid, convincing, matter-of-fact prose - is both fierce and unsensational. It has a compelling authority which grips the reader at once and keeps him in its power long after the book is read. This is an unforgettable work.
