This is Mark Twain’s time travel novel. In it, Yankee engineer Hank Morgan from Connecticut is accidentally transported back in time to medieval England and the court of King Arthur. Hank fools the inhabitants of that time into thinking he is a magician—and soon uses his Yankee ingenuity and knowledge of modern technology to become a "magician" in earnest, stunning the English with such feats as demolition and fireworks. He attempts to modernize the society, but in the end he is unable to prevent the death of Arthur and a censure against him by the Catholic Church, which grows fearful of his power.
Twain wrote the book as a satire of romantic notions of chivalry after being inspired by a dream in which he was a knight himself, and severely inconvenienced by the weight and cumbersome nature of his armor. [Source: Wikipedia]
The story is accompanied by some 175 illustrations by Dan Beard. Hollywood put its own spin on the story with a 1949 musical comedy starring Bing Crosby, Rhonda Fleming, William Bendix and Sir Cedric Hardwicke.

I put together a small paperback photo essay of some of my favorite images and quotations I have been collecting in various notebooks. This is the first printing, and while I am very happy with it as is, I will be expanding it and eventually including some essays I am still working on.
This is ridiculously low priced on Blurb...

Including photographs showing the meet at Stratford-Upon-Avon, 1912. Skinny looking horses in the top one there. And the ladies have full length dresses - I imagine that was not always very practical!

Caravanning & Camping Out by J. Harris Stone
The author was the founder of The Caravan Club, in 1907. It's a very readable book, and depicts the very earliest days of caravanning when they were towed by horses and only a few hundred people (if that) had one. These early caravans bore most resemblance to the romanticised images of gypsy caravans of the past, although some looked like cottages on wheels! It's a fascinating read, and there are plenty of pictures. It evokes a lot of nostalgia for a time when there were almost no cars on the road and caravans like this could meander about the countryside and stop anywhere.
The book is old enough that there is no date in anywhere, so I searched about the net to find out about it. Google was in fact unsuccessful - it came up with a few reference to the revised 1931 edition, and an American 1914 edition, but not the one I have. To the British Library! After a few searches there, I pinned it down. It's a first edition, 1913, published by Herbert Jenkins, London (the publisher I knew, but not the date). This is the only reference I've been able to find to this edition on the net. Given that the few references to the 1931 edition I've seen are quoting $70-90 and the 1914 American editions are quoting $100 - $250, I would imagine this one is significantly more valuable... It's in pretty good condition too (although, having said that, one edge of the spine cloth has split from opening it to take the pictures :( oops! It was pretty fragile). Also, it looks more green than blue to me, but it's hard to tell - it's faded a lot.
The text itself is out of copyright, and can be read in full here.

The sequel to “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (1865), “Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There” (1872) was published seven years later and is set some six months later than the earlier book. This time Alice enters a fantastic world by stepping through a mirror. “Through the Looking Glass” is not quite as popular as “Wonderland” but it does include celebrated verses such as “Jabberwocky” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” and episodes involving “Tweedledum and Tweedledee” and “Humpty Dumpty.” The book features fifty in-text illustrations by John Tenniel.
Originally serialized in Galaxy magazine between 1872-74, Custer’s autobiography of life as a cavalryman fighting Native-American tribes on the plains appeared in book form only two years before his last stand at Little Bighorn. Introduced by his sketch of the landscape and speculations on the history and nature of the “Indian,” Custer’s narrative begins with the expedition of Major-General Hancock in the spring of 1867 and ends with the Washita campaign on the frontiers of Kansas.
Lion is caught in a net, but never fear, Rat will free him soon as in the La Fontaine fable. This wonderful, vibrant illustration is by Brian Wildsmith.

On February 20, 1962, after three years of training, John Glenn rocketed into space aboard the Mercury capsule Friendship 7. He became the third American in space and the first to orbit Earth. The historical flight was no easy feat. At the end of his first orbit, a yaw attitude jet clogged, forcing Glenn to abandon the automatic control system and use the manual electrical fly-by-wire system.
In 4 hours and 56 minutes, John Glenn circled the globe three times, reaching speeds of more than 17,000 miles per hour. The successful mission concluded with a splashdown and recovery in the Atlantic Ocean, 800 miles southeast of Bermuda.

The Illustrated News of the World – First Edition 1858.
‘The Illustrated News of the World and National Portrait Gallery of Eminent Personages’ was a new publication with the strong visual emphasis of numerous large woodcuts to illustrate local and world events, and also featuring a number of fine steel engravings of eminent persons. The publishers stated their hopes that the publication would match or supplement the existing illustrated magazines:- The Illustrated London News and Punch Magazine .
Published by Illustrated News of the World, The Strand, London. Annual bound collection, red cloth boards 338 pages 42cm x 29cm.
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.

So, how well articulated is the figure? Depends on how you want to move him. The shoulders and hips ratchet out horizontally and vertically, giving a nice range of movement (until they hit the damned backpack), the ankles have some pivot, meaning you can get some nice actiony poses out of him. The elbows are actually double jointed, and there is a bicep swivel. All in all, not bad. What the figure lacks is any waist or wrist articulation. I don't really miss the waist movement, but the wrists would have been nice.

The illuminated initial around Mowgli is from the story “The Spring Running.”
“The Second Jungle Book” is a sequel to “The Jungle Book” by English author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936). First published in 1895, it features five stories about Mowgli, the abandoned boy who is raised by wolves, and three unrelated stories. All but one is set in India and all were previously published in magazines in 1894-5. Kipling was born in India, spent the first six years of his childhood there and returned as an adult to work there for about six-and-a-half years. He put into his stories everything he knew about the Indian jungle. His father, John Lockwood Kipling, spent most of his career in British India as Principal of the Mayo School of Arts and curator of the Lahore Museum. He did the illustrations for the book.
The Wonderful Fire Proof Phenomenon,
Who lately caused so much Astonishment in Paris, by his supernatural Powers, and in consequence of GOING INTO AN OVEN, in Presence of the Royal Academy of Physicians, WITH A LEG OF MUTTON, and remaining shut up in it until the meat was well-baked. This Experiment he will have the honor of performing again, whenever a liberal subscription shall be made for the purpose.
IVAN IVANITZ CHABERT,
The only Really Incombustible Phenomenon
His performance will consist of the following extraordinary proofs of his supernatural Power of RESISTING THE MOST INTENSE HEAT OF EVERY KIND, and he pledges himself that no sleight of hand (as is usual in these Things) will be practiced:
1. He will forge with his Hands and Feet a Bar of Red Hot Iron, which he will, without other means, widen and lengthen considerably.
2. He will undergo the Torture by Fire, as used in the Spanish Inquisition.
3. He will drink, positively, boiling Oil and wash his hands and feet in it.
4. He will drop on his Tongue a large Quantity of Burning Sealing Wax, from which any of the Company may take impressions of their Seals.
5. He will eat burning Charcoal.
6. He will inspirate the Flames of a Torch.
7. Will bathe his feet in boiling Lead, and pour it into his Mouth with his hand, or any of the Company may do it with a spoon.
8. Will pour the strongest Aqua Fortis on Steel Filings, and trample on it with his bare Feet.
9. He will hold in his Teeth a Bar of Red Hot Iron, until it shall lose its principal heat.
10. Will rub a Red Hot Shovel on his Arms and Legs, and hold it on his head until the Hair Shall be too warm for any By-stander to hold his Hand on it.
11. He will pour Vitriol, Oil, and Arsenic into the Fire, and hold his Head in the Flames, and inhale the vapours.
12. He will eat of a lighted torch with a Fork, as if it were a salad.
13. Will dissolve a Piece of Copper in the Hollow of his Hand, with Aqua Fortis.
And in the Evening, to complete the Astonishment of those who may honor him with their Presence, a brilliant Display of FIREWORKS will play on him, till his SHIRT shall be burnt on his Back.
