After I posted the photos on this car I discovered it was an error car....no windows. I've no idea why I didn't notice before I opened it, but it went straight into a plexiglass container. Going to have to be more careful before I open these I suppose.
"Though Cliffjumper had died, his body still had uses. When Megatron wanted a corpse on which to test Dark Energon's resurrection powers, Cliffjumper's was used as a guinea pig. Once his torso was stabbed through by a shard of the material, Cliffjumper did spring back to life...though as a psychotic, screaming zombie that attacked anything in its path! Only being sliced in two by Megatron stopped Cliffjumper's rampage, and his two halves decorated varying levels of the Decepticons' energon mine." Source: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cliffjumper_(Prime).

The Gutenberg Bible at the University of Texas Harry Ransom Center. This is one of the 48 surviving copies of the 180 that were the first book printed with the radical new technology - movable type. Only 5 complete copies are in the US. Since the 1455 printing it was used in monasteries in Germany until the 1600's when it was purchased by an English collector. There are notes in the margins about which passages are to be read on certain religious holidays. After printing the book was illuminated by hand with the colorful letters and markings to make it look more like the completely hand lettered editions of the day. The text is Latin using an old style typeface that is hard for us to read today. The book is about 18 inches high (450 mm) Volume 2 is in the background. [MG_0122]
This guy has a pretty awesome transformation sequence - great engineering. I'm not a huge fan of Bayformers (the Michael Bay movie version of The Transformers), but I really like the Transformers: Prime show. It seems to strike a nice balance between Bayformers and G1.
I'm glad Hasbro made this Voyager Class version of Optimus, because I really didn't like the design of the Deluxe Class one... Still waiting for Megatron!

Art by George Cruikshank.
“Oliver Twist” is Dickens’ second novel and it is full of greed, corruption and dark humor. Orphan Oliver Twist starts his life in a workhouse and is sold into an apprenticeship with an undertaker. He escapes from there and travels to London where he meets the Artful Dodger, a member of a gang of juvenile pickpockets, which is led by the elderly criminal Fagin.
Dickens presents an unromantic portrayal of criminals and their sordid lives, as well as exposing the cruel treatment of the many orphans in London in the mid–nineteenth century. An early example of the social novel, Dickens satirizes the hypocrisies of his time, including child labor, the recruitment of children as criminals, and the presence of street children. The novel may have been inspired by the story of Robert Blincoe, an orphan whose account of working as a child laborer in a cotton mill was widely read in the 1830s. It is likely that Dickens's own youthful experiences contributed as well. “Oliver Twist” is a good example of Dickens’ belief that the novel should do more than merely entertain.
Oliver Twist has endured as one of the most compelling child protagonists in fiction. His story has been the subject of numerous adaptations, for various media, including a highly successful musical play, “Oliver!”, and the multiple Academy Award-winning 1968 motion picture. [Source: Wikipedia]

Unlike most of Dickens’ novels, “Oliver Twist” was not issued in monthly parts. It did appear in “Bentley’s Miscellany” magazine from February 1837 through April 1839, but the three volume book edition was published complete in November 1838. The book included 24 engravings by George Cruikshank and identified the author as “Boz.” Dickens decided that he would no longer be known as “Boz,” but his decision was too late for the earliest copies, those published between November 9 and 16, 1838.
“Under the Sunset” is the author’s first book and features eight grim fairy tales by Bram Stoker who, fifteen years later, would spawn one of the most enduring literary bloodsuckers, Count Dracula. The tales in Stoker’s first book are “Under the Sunset,” “The Rose Prince,” “The Invisible Giant,” “The Shadow Builder,” “How 7 Went Mad,” “Lies and Lilies,” “The Castle of the King,” and “The Wondrous Child.” The stories are illustrated with six aquatints and ten wood engravings by W. Fitzgerald and W. V. Cockburn.

“The Blue Poetry Book” was Andrew Lang's first and only “colored” book of poetry. It collects nearly 150 poems by masters such as Blake, Wordsworth, Scott, Longfellow, Burns, Byron, Shakespeare, Poe, Marlowe, Coleridge, Milton, Macaulay, among others. The poems are accompanied by 100 black and white illustrations by Henry J. Ford and Lancelot Speed.
Andrew Lang (1844 -1912) was a Scots poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales and for his twelve “colored” fairy books, published between 1889 and 1910. Each volume is distinguished by its own color, beginning with “The Blue Fairy Book” (1889) and ending with “The Lilac Fairy Book” (1910). In all, 437 tales from a broad range of cultures and countries are presented. The series was immensely popular, helped by Lang's reputation in folklore, and by the packaging device of the uniform books. The series proved of great influence in children's literature, increasing the popularity of fairy tales over tales of real life.

"To supply a lunar base, Krafft A. Ehricke would send up cargo carriers which would drop their cargo in inflated cushion-like containers from several hundred feet above the Moon's surface. Low lunar gravity would assure little or no damage to the contents. Cargo ships would be supplied from an Earth-orbiting satellite warehouse. (Convair, General Dynamics Corp.)"
The book presents the best information, ideas and assumptions on the conquest of the moon as of 1958. The authors, who were experts on missiles and space flight, tell how the moon would be approached, first with instrumented probes and then with man himself as a payload. Fascinating conjectures, based on the latest scientific findings, show what life on the moon might be like, how men would build a base there, how they would explore the moon, and how they would push on from there to further explorations of outer space.
Vol. II, First Series, First edition.
Originally written as newspaper journalism, “Sketches by Boz” is the public record of Dickens’ apprenticeship. The 56 sketches concern London scenes and were originally published in various newspapers and other periodicals between 1833 and 1836, including the “Morning Chronicle,” the “Evening Chronicle,” the “Monthly Magazine,” the “Carlton Chronicle” and “Bell’s Life in London.” Fist published in book form in 1836, the whole work is divided into four sections: “Our Parish,” “Scenes,” “Characters,” and “Tales.” Dickens’ writings are enhanced by the regular inclusion of illustrations by George Cruikshank to highlight key scenes and characters.
"Who the dickens 'Boz' could be
Puzzled many a learned elf,
Till time unveiled the mystery,
And 'Boz' appeared as Dickens's self."
Dickens took the pseudonym from a nickname he had given his younger brother Augustus, whom he called "Moses" after a character in Oliver Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield. This, "being facetiously pronounced through the nose," became "Boses", which in turn was shortened to "Boz".

Graham, the central character of the novel, awakens into a troubled world after a two-hundred year slumber, much like Rip Van Winkle. The compound interest on his bank accounts has made him the richest man in the world and a very powerful one indeed. A trust known as the White Council used Graham’s wealth to establish a vast political and economic world order, which is now much hated by the people. Word spreads that the fabled sleeper has awakened and the people demand to see him. The Council, which rules the world in his name, prefers that he remain out of the way and places him under house arrest. He is liberated by revolutionaries and he soon learns the ugly truth about this new world, which persuades him to take part in the revolution.
The novel has plenty of action which more than makes up for the author’s socialist inclinations. It has engine-driven “aeroplanes” with 600-foot wing spans and smaller, nimbler “aeropiles,” it has a revolution and a counter-revolution, and there are battles fought in the air for supremacy.

A casual walk down a farm path in a quiet Wisconsin town leads an archaeologist into the Pleistocene era and he uncovers an interstellar mystery from before recorded time. In short order, the time trails in the quiet town of Willow Bend become the focus of global attention, government scrutiny and the target for an unprecedented solution to overpopulation. Time-traveling turns into big business and big trouble.
