  • Geological Reconnaissance between Roma, Springsure, Tambo and Taroom [The Carnarvon Range and Buckland Tablelands] – H.I. Jensen

    Geological Reconnaissance between Roma, Springsure, Tambo and Taroom [The Carnarvon Range and Buckland Tablelands] – H.I. Jensen

    A substantial report issued by the Queensland Department of Mines, Brisbane in 1926.

    Standard size, 215 pages, folding coloured map near front and a further 12 maps and sections within the text. Staple bound and as often has lost its front paper cover which is a mirror of the title that now form the front. Other than that, a pretty good copy.

    Content covered includes after general notes on geography of the region … The coals of Walloon, Yingerbay, Cornwall-Alcurah and Injune and the prospects for Oil. The geology of the Upper, Middle and Lower Bowen = Mineral Resources and Palaeontoology. The Taroon geology ditto Tambi-Barcaldine and again the possibility of Oil.

    A scarce one on the Roma to Springsure [South of Emerald] area – and what an area it has been.

  • TRUMP – Strategies for Real Estate [Billionaire Lessons for the Small Investor] George H Ross

    TRUMP – Strategies for Real Estate [Billionaire Lessons for the Small Investor] George H Ross

    Topical. And an alternative or companion to the Art of The Deal. Published by John Wiley in 2005 a first edition. Octavo, 232 pages with the odd image of the TRUMP successes in New York real estate.

    Forward by TRUMP … who much admires George Ross who in turn much admires TRUMP … we think that is rule number one.

    We could be critical and make more corny remarks but in reality [no attempted pun] the book is very informative, and the TRUMP tactics and ploys make a lot of sense … suggestions of a very through approach even if masked as casual. Enough said.

    Can we learn from TRUMP … swallow hold breath – we think so!

  • Antarctica – a Traveller’s Tale – Jean Bailey

    Antarctica – a Traveller’s Tale – Jean Bailey

    First edition published in 1980 by Angus & Robertson. Tall octavo, 182 pages, well illustrated from the author’s couloured photographs and charcoal drawings by Lorraine Hannay. Good condition.

    Jean Bailey is neither and adventurer or a scientist, which makes this book a bit different for the subject matter as easy going informative travel books on the Antarctic don’t come along very often.

    She did the Argentinian route … around the Falklands [Islas Malvinos] then down through the Scotia Sea south of the South Shetlands and into true Antarctic waters, Anvers Island and Palmer Station through the Lemaire Channel and beyond the “Circle” proper to Adelaide Island. Deception Island with all its history follows … before making north across Drake Passage to Ushuaia.

    Like we say written in a familiar story telling style with some gritty elements such as the tussle for the Falklands … not sure whose side she is on?

    Antarctica a more relaxed, still informative approach.

  • Jack O’Lantern – George Goodchild – First Edition 1930 – Dust Jacket Designed by “Gene”

    Jack O’Lantern – George Goodchild – First Edition 1930 – Dust Jacket Designed by “Gene”

    First edition published by The Mystery League in 1930. Scarce and in very good condition albeit the dust jacket chipped at the corners and spine ends … but what a beauty

    Jack O’Lantern the cleverest of criminals ever to pit his wits against the machinery for man-finding! Superb entertainment and the “Gene” Art Deco dust jacket a Voyager favourite.

    Could anyone beat Jack O’Lantern?

  • Antique Medical Instruments – Wilbur

    Antique Medical Instruments – Wilbur

    Published in 2008 by Schiffer, the pen people, of Atglen, USA. Revised edition with updates by the distinguished Keith Wilbur MD who can trace back his descendants to Rhode Island 1636.

    We mention the “pen people” as the book is produced in an unusual cursive font with matching line drawings of instruments.

    Quarto, softcover 149 pages, very good condition.

    Great content we really rate this as an introduction to the subject and for serious collectors. We also like that it has a very good section on the development of the microscope often omitted. A useful price guide provides some perspective on value.

    A list of medical museums in the USA good prove a valuable starting point for a holiday focused on such matters. Plan your next trip.

    Wilbur’s Medical Instruments a great place to start … and more
