Abbott, Jacob
History of Queen Elizabeth
Publisher: Harper & Brothers Publishers New York, 1899
History of Queen Elizabeth. By Jacob Abbott. New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1899. Hardcover. "The author of this series has made it his special object to confine himself very strictly, even in the most minute details which he records, to historic truth. The narratives are not tales founded upon history, but history itself, without any embellishment or any deviations from the strict truth, so far as it can now be discovered by an attentive examination of the annals written at the time when the events themselves occurred. In writing the narratives, the author has endeavored to avail himself of the best sources of information which this country affords; and though, of course, there must be in these volumes, as in all historical accounts, more or less of imperfection and error, there is not intentional embellishment
." Originally published in 1849, this is a nice reprint edition of this classic biography. 281 pages. Book is in GOOD to VERY GOOD condition. NO dust jacket. No Jacket. Hard Cover. Book condition: Good to Very Good

Adams, Brian C.
Medical Implications of Karate Blows
Publisher: A. S. Barnes and Company South Brunswick, NJ, 1975
Medical Implications of Karate Blows. By Brian C. Adams. South Brunswick, NJ: A. S. Barnes and Company, 1975. Third printing. Hardcover. Although karate is an ancient art, it has only recently enjoyed a renaissance in the world at large, and in the United States in particular. Much as been written about the various methods of karate and the techniques involved. Little has been written on the effects of the many and varied karate blows. The Medical Implications of Karate Blows attempts to fill this gap
. "The main interest of this work is the examination of the medical implications of a karate blow and not the strict technique involved. Therefore only two photographs are used to demonstrate each technique discussed, but there are many accompanying anatomical and explanatory diagrams and drawings. "The blows used in this book are those familiar to most schools of karate. These blows include killing, paralyzing, and partially disabling blows in varying degrees of severity. Obviously this book will serve to familiarize stud4ents of karate with the intended purpose and result of the many maneuvers employed. The why and wherefore of the actions and their importance is made clear as they relate to the impact upon the human body. Furthermore a sense of responsibility will be developed in the student as he comes to realize the possibility of inflicting serious injury upon others
. "The Medical Implications of Karate Blows thus represents a complete, well-organized, sophisticated analysis of the medical aspects of basic karate blows which will satisfy the needs of the professional enthusiast, as well as the spectator who only wishes to enjoy a rapidly growing sport." Very well illustrated. 128 pages with index. Book is in VERY GOOD condition. Dust jacket is in GOOD condition. ISBN: 0498067866. Good. Hard Cover. Book condition: Very Good

Boston, Lee and Shepard, Publishers, 1873. Antiquarian hardcover. Originally published in 1872, this is a later printing of the original edition--not a modern reprint. "Cross and Crescent, the third volume of the second series of Young America Abroad, contains the history of a portion of the Academy Squadron on the voyage from the Baltic to Constantinople, and the experience of the young travelers in Turkey and Greece. As in the preceding volumes, an outline of the history of each of these countries is given, with its form of government, something about its commerce, the manners and customs of its people, and descriptions of its principal cities, and its natural and artificial objects of interest. In the journey of certain runaways, the details of a trip down the Danube, through Turkey, a sail on the Black Sea, and through the Bosporus, are presented. Various boat excursions are made in the Bosporus, the Golden Horn, and the Sea of Marmora, as well as in the waters of Greece, and many of the wonders of these distant lands are brought out in familiar conversations. The statistics and other information are derived from the latest and best sources, including books and pictures obtained by the author in Constantinople

Many, feeling the sincerity with which he tells his story, will brand him as an honest but self-deluded man and toss his adventures into the category of the mental or psychic. Still others, trained to reject everything not yet proven in the familiar three dimensions, will enjoy writing it all off as a clever hoax

"You are reading a new idea in fishing guides. It is written exclusively for the fisherman. There are many fishing guides in circulation written for the advertisers with some additional information for the fisherman.

Dedicated fishermen who have located this happy fishing ground try their best to keep the information from getting around so they will have plenty of room
.It is the opinion of the editors that fishermen like to have their guides pinpointed. This one doesnt try to take in fishing from Hell to Breakfast. Just the Florida Keys. The important items about boating and fishing tackle are covered in books devoted to that subject and may be obtained from the publishers of this book. Only information advantageous to fishing on the Florida Keys is included here

Annemann's Practical Mental Effects

Annemanns Practical Mental Effects: A Comprehensive Collection of the Best Mental Tricks pf Recent Years. By Theodore Annemann; edited by John J. Crimmins, Jr.; illustrations by Nelson Hahne. New York: Holdens Magic Shops, 1944. First edition. Hardcover. This is the first edition of this classic book on mental effects intended for the professional magician. "In offering this book of practical mental effects to the magical fraternity, we are paying tribute to the one man who probably did more to popularize this branch of entertainment than any other. To Ted Annemann, then, we bow in grateful appreciation for the many brilliant creations he left as his legacy to the world of magic. Each of the effects to follow were either performed by him, or were products of his editorship, for he attracted to his Jinx Magazine contributions from all the leading performers in recent years
.The popularity of his magazine bore out the truth of his convictions. In that bible for mentalists and magicians live effects that will be performed for many years to come. We have taken a fair share of these remarkable effects, edited them, arranged them for ready reference in separate chapters, and offer them to you for your pleasure
.We have endeavored
.to segregate the effects using the dominant feature of the trick as our yardstick. Tricks of every type are included
.those requiring a serious presentation or a humorous one; some are weird, such as Voodoo, others spooky, such as Sefalaljia, but all are solid entertainment and, as the title implies, practical." 310 pages.
