BATTISTA Orlando A. 1917 ?

No decorative cachet at left; no distracting recipient's name/address present. Much of the front side except for the stamp and cancellation is filled with a typed biographical statement about Battista as follows: "The Battista boy liked the idea of writing letters to tell major corporations how to improve their products. In the 1930's he told a chewing gum company it should coat the sticks with starch so they couldn't stick to the paper in hot weather. In 1955 while working on an idea to make a better rayon tire cord to compete with nylon he came up with a water suspension of cellulose crystals. 'The resulting product is still "revolutionary"' Battista said. He stayed at Princeton until 1970 and in those days came up with a micro-crystalline collagen. This led to the creation of the Avitene hemostat which uses collagen and is now used in every operating room across the nation." Below this on the cover's lower margin the scientist boldly inscribes and signs in black ballpoint: "Wishing Paul Johnston every / success / Orlando A. Battista / 10/31/79." Attractive and most unusual. unknown

A swimming gorilla a test-tube of mustard gas and a lost nose along with storm force winds and shipwrecks have all played their part in Roger Nowell's thirty years at sea.As the skipper of the trawler William Sampson Stevenson from Newlyn in Cornwall Roger's roguish attitudes have brought him to the edge of the law on many occasions while his seamanship has earned the respect of fellow skippers throughout the country.In this log he describes the adventures accidents and emotions encountered during one year of fishing along with anecdotes drawn from a lifetime at sea.It's the gritty truth about a tough life an insight into how dangers boredom and humour bind together a small group of men who spend much more of their lives on board ship than they do at home and how their families ashore cope with the strains.The year Roger records saw major changes in the industry with unresolved threats to fishermen's livelihoods from new regulations accidents in overcrowded waters and more and more fishermen chasing dwindling numbers of fish.But in spite of the uncertainties and dangers - and the job of a fisherman is more than twenty times as dangerous as that of a coalminer - what emerges is a portrait of a man with a great zest for life who loves the freedom the excitement and the laughs.'The Skipper' is the nearest you'll get to the story of a modern-day buccaneer.After reading this book you'll treat your next plateful of fish and chips with new respect.The book accompanied the BBC TV series of the same name.

After two years of frustration first at Cardiff in 1989 and then at Murrayfield in 1990 Will Carling's England team finally achieved the Grand Slam against France at Twickenham on 16th March 1991.Although the French out-scored England by three tries to one including one of the most memorable tries ever seen at Twickenham the English victory was built on the power and discipline of the forwards supported by dogged defence in the backs - with a try from Rory Underwood a drop-goal by Rob Andrew and 14 points from the boot of Simon Hodgkinson. From the beginning of the 1991 Five Nations Championship it was obvious that England were not to be denied again.Although there were still some occasional signs of the open flowing rugby that had brought so many tries the previous season there was also clearly an intention to capitalise on the strength and experience of a daunting pack to overwhelm the opposition.Wales fell to England at Cardiff for the first time since 1963.The Grand Slam defeat of 1990 at Murrayfield was avenged at Twickenham and the Calcutta Cup regained.The Irish playing with a new enthusiasm under Rob Saunders were only just overcome in the final quarter of the game to secure the Triple Crown in Dublin.Finally Serge Blanco and his rampaging French team were held at bay in the rain and gloom of a glorious March afternoon and England finally won the Five Nations Championship and the Grand Slam.This is a lavishly illustrated book by England's most-capped outside-half Rob Andrew and dean Richards a major force in the dominance of the England pack.England's grand Slam 1991 commemorates a remarkable triumph and will be a welcome addition to the library of every rugby enthusiast.

HUTCHINSON William Henry 1910 90
Typed Letters Signed 2
The biographer of cowboy novelist Eugene Manlove Rhodes and executor of his literary estate this writer authored such titles as "A Bar Cross Liar: Bibliography of Eugene Manlove Rhodes" 1956 "California: The Golden Shore by the Sundown Sea" 1980 and other Western histories -- along with popular Whitman juvenile Westerns such as "Gene Autry and the Golden Ladder Gang" 1950 and "Gene Autry and the Big Valley Grab" 1953. Two ALsS each 1p 8�" X 11" and 7" X 10�" respectively Chico CA 1947 January 10 and February 11. Addressed to Owen Davies. Near fine. Fine content concerning Davies ordering copies of Hutchinson's edition of Rhodes' short story collection "The Little World Waddies" which he had designed and printed for him by the legendary printer/typographer/book designer Carl Hertzog. "We have been swamped with orders" writes Hutchinson "and have fallen far behind due to bindery output; we are filling orders in chronological sequence but have made an exception in your case." As an unrelated aside he comments: "I would judge that you are of Welsh extraction. the most soul-stirring experience I have ever had or expect to have was watching the debarkation of a Welsh regiment at Oran in Algeria when they marched from the quay up the steep sloping hillside into the town singing the 'March of the Men of Harlech'." Davies ordered 52 copies of "The Little World Waddies" by the way -- a book that today generally sells for several hundred dollars. A great pair of letters both signed simply and boldly "Hutchinson." unknown
