‎Faceting History: Cutting Diamonds and Colored Stones signed‎

‎Xlibris 2005. SIGNED by the AUTHOR directly on the title page "Enjoy reading" and his signature only NOT personalized to anyone. SIGNED copies are SCARCE. Fine condition in a Fine dust jacket. NO chips tears creases or fading. Bright and shiny. Sharp corners. Square and tight. Pages are fresh crisp clean and unmarked - apparently seldom if ever read. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. Illustrated with photographs drawings old prints and diagrams. List of bibliographical references. Bound in the original black boards lettered in bright gold. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "The author of "Faceting History: Cutting Diamonds and Colored Stones" has for a long time had a deep interest in learning how the early faceters cutters of diamonds and colored gemstones were able to complete their work. What methods did they use What equipment did they have to make success possible How soon did they discover how to complete the many phases necessary to accomplish their work How did the equipment and methods differ between fashioning diamonds and faceting colored stones These are just a few of the questions that the author wanted to find the answers for. In looking for answers to these and other questions the author found that there were bits and pieces of information available in many previous books but there was not a good book available that would answer most of his questions. Upon hearing the author's remarks about this fact one of the librarians at the wonderful library located at the Gemological Institute of America's Carlsbad campus said that if such a book was not available 'maybe you should write the book!' Well the author had been thinking of doing just that but the remark caused the author to see the light and agree to get started on the project. Little did he know then that the project would require many months of eight hour days over seven day weeks to get the book completed. He decided to write a book that would answer these and other related questions that he had. The thought also occurred to him that such a book would be a valuable volume to be placed in libraries of individual faceters around the world. He realized that such a book would also be of great value to anyone who works behind a Jewelry store counter. A successful sales person is one who is knowledgeable about the products that they are selling. A book of faceting information would be extremely valuable if read and re-read from time to time. A customer in the Jewelry store will no doubt be favorably impressed by a sales presentation that is made with the use of interesting and informative information about diamonds and the various colored gemstones. The customer will be convinced that the sales person knows about what they are talking. The author has spent nearly three years on the project of researching the GIA library and other libraries along with the extensive personal library of gemstone related books that he personally possesses. Many conflicting reports were noted in his study. He has made the statements in his book reflect the most commonly accepted opinions of the most respected authors' works that he has found in his research. History is only obtainable from the earlier works of other authors. We cannot go back to the long past centuries ourselves to see first hand what really happened and when it happened. A study of faceting history requires making the best choices of the information that is available. This completed book answers questions as to why the fashioning of diamonds was/is so different from the faceting of colored gemstones. The book compares the needed equipment and the methods that have brought the greatest successes. In addition a great deal of other information connected to faceting is included. There are seven chapters in the book and there are over 125 photographs of the early equipment and methods that were used. The photographs show the faceters the workroom conditions and the tools and equipment that they used to complete beautiful and lasting gemstones. The book chapters are titled: An Introduction to Faceting Early Man's Stone Appreciation Diamond Fashioning Procedure and Equipment Colored Stone Faceting Procedure and Equipment The Evolution of Cut Designs Famous and Historic Gemstones Sources of Diamond and Colored Stone Rough and lastly Advances in Faceting Over the Past One Hundred Years. Within each of these chapters the reader will find a multitude of additional and interesting information.". SIGNED by Dick Cole his signature only. 1st ed No additional printings listed. Hardcover.

‎Dating Shakespeare's plays : a critical review of the evidence‎

‎Kent U. K.: Parapress 2010. Very Good condition but for small crease to bottom corner of the front cover and several page corners behind it. NO text is affected. PHOTOS UPON REQUEST. Flat uncreased spine. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are clean and unmarked. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Illustrated with title page facsimilies. Bound in the original green pictorial wraps. From Goodreads: "This critical review challenges the orthodox scholarly consensus about the order in which Shakespeare composed his plays and when they were written. It reveals surprising discrepancies in date comparisons. King John has been placed by scholars in every year of the decade up to 1598 and there are suggestions that Hamlet's date of 1602 could be as early as 1589. In this authoritative work evidence is reviewed methodically to produce a range of dates supported by in-depth analysis of aids to dating such as language historical allusion the testimony of title pages as well as works by other authors including Palladis Tamia and the Stationers' Register. In considering Oxfordian dates the intention is not to prove the Earl of Oxford authorship but the possibility of a range of earlier dates for each of the 36 plays in the First Folio and four other plays which have been attributed to Shakespeare. Kevin Gilvary gained a BA and MA from the University of Southampton and is currently a research student at Brunel University. He has taught in Canada and South America as well as Hampshire."
