Paul Kimmage
Engage: The Fall and Rise of Matt Hampson
2011. First edition. Fine hardback and Wrapper with MATT signed by Hamson on the first itle page. The biography of a rugby player who had to comes to terms with sports injury that paralyzed him from the neck down. 416 pages. Engage!' was the last word Matt Hampson heard before dislocating his neck while in rugby training with other young England hopefuls. On a cold grey overcast day in 2005 the cream of young English rugby gathered at a Northampton training ground. Matt Hampson 'Hambo' to his mates was one of them. He had dreamt of playing rugby for England ever since he had picked up a rugby ball at school. His skill conviction and dedication had brought him to the cusp of realising that dream in an England U21 team that included Olly Morgan Toby Flood Ben Foden and James Haskell. But as the two sets of forwards engaged for a scrum on the training field the scrum collapsed and Matt who played tight-head prop took the full force of two opposing sides. In that moment his life changed forever. Paul Kimmage went to visit Matt as he recuperated and wrote a piece for the Sunday Times which won him his third successive SJA sports interviewer of the year award. They struck up a friendship and here Paul tells Matt's whole story in all its intimate detail. From the build-up to the dreadful day to Matt's recuperation to his struggle to adjust to normal life again to his family and friends to other tragic incidents on the rugby field to the response of the RFU this is a story of terrible sadness yet unadorned triumph and joy of anger yet of reconciliation and peace .of a boy who became a man. <br /><br />A1 Simon & Schuster UK hardcover

Lowe Kevin. With Stan and Shirley Fischler.
CHAMPIONS: THE MAKING OF THE EDMONTON OILERS.
Scarborough Ontario: Prentice-Hall 1988. 356 pp 9 1/4" H. B&w photographs. "When the Edmonton Oilers won their first Stanley Cup in 1984 Albertans rejoiced. They had waited 91 years for just this moment. When they won it again in 1985 a new era in hockey was born: The Edmonton Era. Just six years after being incorporated into the National Hockey League the Oilers had won back-to-back Stanley Cups and rewritten half the record book. In these few years they had grown from a cocky immature team into a championship team with character and charisma. Kevin Lowe describes all of this and more. In particular he talks about his teammates - the magnificent Mark Messier the Flying Finns the unbeatable Grant Fuhr Boy Wonder Wayne Gretzky and of course the controversial Glen Sather. This is the complete dynamic chronicle of the team that Gretzky helped to propel to greatness told from the point of view of his roommate and teammate Kevin Lowe." Slight wrinkle at bottom of spine.

Henderson Paul. With Mike Leonetti.
SHOOTING FOR GLORY.
Toronto: Stoddart 1992. 211 pp 9 1/4" H. Inscribed on title page: "Best Wishes Rob / Paul Henderson". B&w photographs. "Paul Henderson tells the story of the first Canada-Soviet Union series that kept Canadians riveted to their radios and televisions. Although the 1972 series was the highlight of his career he has a lot more to tell. As a Detroit Red Wing he played with such greats as Gordie Howe Alex Delvecchio and Ted Lindsay and experienced the heartache of being on the losing side in two Stanley Cup finals. Dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1968 he found himself on the ice with the team that had won the Leaf's last Cup the previous year skating alongside Dave Keon Tim Horton George Armstrong and Ron Ellis. Participating in one of the game's golden eras Henderson had the privilege of locking horns with the likes of Phil Esposito Bobby Orr and Bobby Hull. And like Hull he too jumped to the World Hockey Association where he witnessed the arrival of Wayne Gretzky Mark Messier and a new breed of superstar. Finally Henderson describes the difficult transition he and all professional athletes must face when retirement inevitably comes."

SHIPWRECKS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY & NAPOLEONIC ERAS.
London: Caxton 2002. 430 pp 9 1/2" H. "A chronicle of shipping disasters during the last great war of the age of sail based almost exclusively on the reporting of the time. Listed are some fifteen hundred ships vessels naval and mercantile of many nations whose tribulations were covered in the national and local newspapers as well as the specialist press like the 'Naval Chronicle'. These reports run the whole gamut of maritime tragedies - the bizarre curious and quirky as well as the familiar - and in all their inconsequential detail. Through the medium of the reporting of the time what is here presented is a truly contemporary perspective of events in itself a fascinating revelation of the mores and attitutudes of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Given the sheer number of craft lost at sea it cannot be entirely exhaustive but no other book contains so much non-technical information on the maritime disasters of the period 1793-1815." Creases at bottom edge of spine. Dust jacket has very minor edge wear. Reprint. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Caxton Hardcover

KEVIN PIETERSEN
Kevin Pietersen on Cricket
2015. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. SIGNED by Kevin Pietersen without dedication on the Title Page. In 2014 Kevin Pietersen's autobiography was one of the most talked about sporting media stories of the year largely due to the shock waves it sent through the cricketing establishment. Now Kevin turns his focus to events on the pitch offering his views on what it takes to be a successful cricketer in the modern age. This summer's Ashes series has demonstrated just how demanding and unpredictable the game has become and Kevin is ideally - perhaps uniquely - placed to comment on those developments. In KEVIN PIETERSEN ON CRICKET we'll see exactly how today's player approaches batting bowling bowling captaincy preparation and many other aspects of the game itself through the prism of the author's own experience. We'll see what it's like to face a bowler like Mitchell Johnson at his menacing best learn how cricketers cope with the challenges presented by foreign climates and conditions and gain a fresh understanding of how players manage the psychological side of the game. <br /><br />A1 Shere hardcover

Pethick Derek.
FIRST APPROACHES TO THE NORTHWEST COAST.
Vancouver: J.J. Douglas 1976. 232 pp 9 1/4" H. Illustration section on green stock at front of book map. "An ocean-going ship built of copper-sheathed mahogany. A trans-Siberian expedition that builds gallows every 20 miles. A circumnavigator who starts his working life as an apprentice to a Scottish grocer. Of the marvels and quirks of Europe's 18th-century forays to the northwest coast few signs remain on Canada's Pacific shores. Yet before 1792 twenty-nine voyages reached land between what is now the California-Oregon border and the Bering Sea. Each of these voyages permanently altered the balance of power among European courts - as well as setting the tone of relations between the native peoples and the 'mau mau'l ney': those who came 'floating on the water without land'. Derek Pethick captures the political significance of each voyage while conveying the important details that make the men their failures and accomplishments come alive: for instance the journal entry showing how the crew of the fated second Bering expedition marooned on a desolate northern island still debated whether they might lighten their misery by playing cards or whether this behaviour would be at variance with the tsar's orders."

Together they present a fascinating view of sea life. Gilles Proulx has used official correspondence between the Minister of Marine and the Canadian colonial authorities and the papers siezed on boarded vessels as well as over one hundred log-books and personal diaries to obtain a wealth of detail about the rigours of the colonial shipboard experience."

FROM HUDSON BAY TO BOTANY BAY: THE LOST FRIGATES OF LAPEROUSE.
Toronto: NC Press 1987. 228 pp 9 1/2" H. B&w photographs reproductions maps. "Recounts the global voyage and the efforts to uncover the fate of a hero of 18th century Pacific exploration long familiar with Australians and Europeans but little known in North America. Count Jean Francois de Galaup de La Perouse now called Laperouse had a distinguished naval career serving in the West Indies Mauritius the Indian Ocean and North America. He defeated the British off Louisbourg and captured forts York and Prince of Wales on Hudson Bay. His scientific expedition in 1785 rivaled in popular interest the space voyages of today. The expedition rounded Cape Horn sailed north to Chile Easter Island and Hawaii and then explored and charted the coast of today's Alaska and British Columbia. They made their way south to San Francisco before sailing across the Pacific to Macao the Philippines Korea and Japan. They charted the Tartary Coast and the Kamchatka Peninsula the farthest outpost of the Russian Empire. Turning south again they made for Botany Bay via Samoa. On March 10 1788 the Boussole and Astrolabe headed north and disappeared. Despite several search parties it was not until 1827 that evidence of one of the wrecks was discovered by an Irish sea captain named Peter Dillon. It was only in 1962 that Reece Discombe an expert in underwater salvage found the flagship. Archaeological teams from Australia France and Vanuatu continue to probe the wrecks to this day."

Croil James.
STEAM NAVIGATION AND ITS RELATION TO THE COMMERCE OF CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.
Toronto: Coles 1973. 381 pp 8 5/8" H. Burgundy cloth with black title block gilt lettering/banding on spine gilt lettering/banding on front board - one of the Coles Canadian Collection. B&w photographs drawings reproductions maps. A facsimile of the edition published by William Briggs Toronto 1898. "This is an exciting study of the development of steam navigation in Canada. In tracing the transition from sailing ships to the paddle-steamer and from the paddle-steamer to the revolutionary screw-propeller the author writes with the kind of imaginative insight that brings back to life a past age of challenge. One of the delightful features of this book is the vivid study of shipping on the Great Lakes. Croil's account of the lake ships catches the imagination with its comprehensive study of past glories: LaSalle's schooner of ten tons whose journey was halted by the Niagara Falls; the first lake steamer the 'Frontenac' 1816 said to be the best example of naval architecture in North America; the 'Queen Charlotte' 1818 which carried passengers from Prescott to the stage-coach station at the head of the Bay of Quinte; the 'Gore' built at Niagara in 1838 which was one of the earliest passenger steamers on Georgian Bay; and the 'Bruce Mines' which carried copper ore on Lake Huron. The reader will be equally delighted by the large number of illustrations Croil provides. They present a glorious pictorial record of early shipping showing the curious Miller Twin-Boat of 1788 C.P.R.'s astonishingly modern 'Empress' line of 1891 the Ottawa river steamer the 'Sovereign' and the 'Passport' a mail paddle-steamer which sailed from Lake Ontario to Montreal."

MacInnis Joe. Introduction by Walter Cronkite.
THE BREADALBANE ADVENTURE.
Montreal: Optimum 1982. 171 pp large 8vo 9 1/4" H. B&w photographs map. "In 1975 Joe MacInnis pioneer in the great frontier of the Arctic Ocean discovered a new challenge. Through an old Arctic loner and a reclusive English scholar he learned of a sailing vessel locked for 127 years beneath the polar ice. The 'Breadalbane' was one of many ships dispatched by the British Admiralty to find Sir John Franklin the explorer and the 129 crewmen aboard the 'Erebus' and the 'Terror'. Like many before them the ships had sought the fabled Northwest Passage to the riches of the Orient. Neither ship nor crewmen were ever found. On its ill-fated supply run the 'Breadalbane' had stopped at Beechey Island and then became caught in the ice. The ice lifted the craft from the water and crushed its hull but gave the crew time to scramble to safety before opening briefly to swallow its prize. Since 1853 the 'Breadalbane' has stood upright on the ocean floor unseen by human eyes. Joe MacInnis spent three grueling years searching for the lost ghost ship battling fierce Arctic winds the lethal polar waters and icebergs weighing up to a million tons. Here he takes us on his unique quest right up to the electrifying moment when he finds the ship largely intact in the sub-zero waters." Minor wrinkling at bottom of spine.

Ferguson John. With Stan & Shirley Fischler.
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.
Scarborough Ontario: Prentice-Hall 1989. 334 pp 9 1/4" H. B&w photographs. "If the Montreal Canadiens had a weakness in the early 1960s it was size. Too often small Canadiens were being battered against the boards and checked out of action. In 1963 that problem was solved and a big part of the solutions was John Ferguson. Chosen out of the American Hockey Leauge by Frank Selke Ferguson showed up in training camp with a reputation as a good hockey player and one who hadn't lost a fight in the AHL. He lived up to his reputation during his first game in Boston. At the opening faceoff he got into a fight with Ted Green which he won. Not only that Ferguson proceeded to score twice in that game which ended in a 4-4 tie. John Ferguson played for the Canadiens for eight years until he retired in 1971. During those years he shared in five Stanley Cups played five hundred games scored 145 goals and 158 assists and spent 1214 minutes in the penalty box. An extremely aggressive forward he acted as the club's policeman and extended his dislike of opposing players off the ice. Ferguson retired from the Canadiens in 1971 to begin a new career as a businessman. He came back to hockey as Coach and General Manager of the New York Rangers in 1976 then as General Manager of the Winnipeg Jets and finally as General Manager of Team Canada. Having retired once more from hockey he will dedicate himself to his second great sporting love as President of The Windsor Raceway."

THE VAGABOND FLEET: A CHRONICLE OF THE NORTH PACIFIC SEALING SCHOONER TRADE.
Victoria B.C.: Sono Nis Press 1988. 260 pp 9 1/4" H. Map endpapers. Sepiatone photographs colour ship portraits. "This gripping history of Canada's unknown seal hunt is a saga of greed and subterfuge of bumbling diplomatic intrigue that almost led to war. At the same time it is the story of brave men who battled stormy seas in aging ships many of which had seen better days. Countless lives were lost. Many of the victims were native Indians recruited with their canoes and spears from villages along the west coast of Vancouver Island. The effect of these tragedies on the Indian population and the economic impact of the fur seal hunt on their way of life is examined here for the first time. Threaded throughout the book are stories of the colourful characters who skippered and manned the sealing schooners. After years of acrimonious negotiations a four-nation treaty was finally signed in 1911 which saved the fur seals from extinction. It was a landmark agreement in the conservation of marine life which set the pattern for a number of other international treaties over the years."

Whitney Harry. Introduction by Dillon Wallace.
HUNTING WITH THE ESKIMOS. THE UNIQUE RECORD OF A SPORTSMAN'S YEAR AMONG THE NORTHERNMOST TRIBE - THE BIG GAME HUNTING THE NATIVE LIFE AND THE BATTLE FOR EXISTENCE THROUGH THE LONG ARCTIC NIGHT.
Toronto: Coles 1974. 453 pp 8 5/8" H. Burgundy cloth with black title block gilt lettering/banding on spine gilt lettering/banding on front board - one of the Coles Canadian Collection. B&w photographs. A facsimile of the edition published by The Century Company New York 1910. "Here is an exciting episode to stir the blood of the most jaded adventure lover - a fourteen-month hunting expedition with the Eskimos of Greenland and Ellesmere Island in 1908-09. Thrilling incidents and hair-breadth escapes were the fortune of Whitney and his Eskimo guides and companions in their quest for polar bear wolves musk-ox seal and narwhal. The fast-paced concise style makes every page absorbing reading as he documents a life of constant battle for survival in the Arctic territory at the turn of the century. Innumerable photographs and extensive observations of the Eskimo way of life make this book a unique contribution to the early study of Arctic regions and their peoples. Breath-taking drama unfolds from the first page when the author departs aboard Admiral Peary's exploratory sailing ship; through the last page when an injured sailor is lost and finally tragically abandoned as the party leaves for home. Through the pages of this book we discover life as it existed in the Arctic frontier of a century ago." A few tiny soiling specks on boards.

STEAM NAVIGATION AND ITS RELATION TO THE COMMERCE OF CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.
Toronto: Coles 1973. 381 pp 8 5/8" H. Burgundy cloth with black title block gilt lettering/banding on spine gilt lettering/banding on front board - one of the Coles Canadian Collection. B&w photographs drawings reproductions maps. A facsimile of the edition published by William Briggs Toronto 1898. "This is an exciting study of the development of steam navigation in Canada. In tracing the transition from sailing ships to the paddle-steamer and from the paddle-steamer to the revolutionary screw-propeller the author writes with the kind of imaginative insight that brings back to life a past age of challenge. One of the delightful features of this book is the vivid study of shipping on the Great Lakes. Croil's account of the lake ships catches the imagination with its comprehensive study of past glories: LaSalle's schooner of ten tons whose journey was halted by the Niagara Falls; the first lake steamer the 'Frontenac' 1816 said to be the best example of naval architecture in North America; the 'Queen Charlotte' 1818 which carried passengers from Prescott to the stage-coach station at the head of the Bay of Quinte; the 'Gore' built at Niagara in 1838 which was one of the earliest passenger steamers on Georgian Bay; and the 'Bruce Mines' which carried copper ore on Lake Huron. The reader will be equally delighted by the large number of illustrations Croil provides. They present a glorious pictorial record of early shipping showing the curious Miller Twin-Boat of 1788 C.P.R.'s astonishingly modern 'Empress' line of 1891 the Ottawa river steamer the 'Sovereign' and the 'Passport' a mail paddle-steamer which sailed from Lake Ontario to Montreal."
