LIMITED EDITION one of only 225 copies bound in cloth and SIGNED by the author this being # 78. Eighteen stories. Accompanying each copy is a seperately printed pamphlet "The End of the Line' by Marston. TWO THOUSAND YEARS OF MURDER!!!! Iddo the Samaritan finds a severed head in a barrel of fish. A stammerer tries to save the life of the Emperor Charlemagne. William the Conqueror stares death in the face. Gerald of Wales solves a crime with the help of a shoulder blade of a ram. Nicholas Bracewell encounters murder on the high seas. A deadly assassin stalks a Victorian politician. A mild-mannered author is driven to an act of slaughter. Someone steals the statue of Nelson from the top of his column in Trafalgar Square. A violinist plots the death of a female musician. Friends fall out on a boat trip to France and one of them disappears overboard. Edward Marston's mystery stories cover two thousand years of history yet they all have an eerie topicality. What does vary is the mode of detection. While a Samaritan in the Holy Land has to rely on instinct to catch a villain the Scotland Yard detectives who hunt for the missing Lord Nelson can call on all the resources of modern technology. Horror and humor walk hand in hand in these yarns. Crimes of all kinds are woven into them but the abiding theme is murder - of a person of a hope of a reputation. . Signed by Author. First Edition.

HOWE, STEVE
ALL MY YESTERDAYS tpb. 1st. - Signed by Steve Howe of YES
London U.K.: Omnibus Press 2020. Book. New. Trade Paperback. Signed by Authors. 1st Edition. Trade Paperback - 1st. Print - NEW - Signed by Steve Howe on bookplate attached to ffep - Renowned guitarist Steve Howe tells his own story in his own words often unflinchingly as he recounts times of triumph and torment amidst the cream of the UK's prog rock bands. Best known for his work with Yes a group prone to sudden upheavals and AOR supergroup Asia Steve Howe's passage through these and other bands is a roller-coaster ride of constant touring tense recording sessions and frequent trips to all corners of the globe. A workaholic he soon realised that the temptations of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle weren't for him and instead dedicated his life to excellence in musicianship. Born in North London in 1947 Steve got his first guitar at the age of 12 and thereafter devoted himself passionately to mastering its intricacies. After spells in psychedelic bands of the late sixties he was invited to join Yes in 1970 thus finding himself in a spotlight that shines to this day. In the meantime he raised a family adopted vegetarianism as a lifestyle and watched as many of his peers succumbed to the impulses he managed to avoid. As well as Yes and Asia Steve has led bands of his own released numerous solo recordings in many different musical styles and amassed a legendary collection of priceless stringed instruments.

to/from FRANKLIN J SCHOFIELD, DECK ENGINEER et al
c1935 - 1950s ORIGINAL GROUP OF 120 MANUSCRIPT LETTERS AND EPHEMERA OF A BALTIMORE MAN OF MANY PARTS: HUSBAND FATHER STEAMSHIP DECK ENGINEER SEAMAN'S UNION REPRESENTATIVE SHIP BOARD NEGOTIATOR AND LABOR ACTIVIST
S.S. NORFOLK BALTIMORE MARYLAND. Good. 1935. On offer is a fascinating eclectic archive of original mostly manuscript correspondence and some ephemera relating to Franklin J. Schofield Deck Engineer aboard the S.S. City of Norfolk. The 120 or so letters date c1935 through to 1950 present a diverse group of papers to flesh out this man's life: husband sailor engineer union representative and much more. There are letters to and from his wife in Baltimore Maryland there are letters to them both in Baltimore there are many letters sent to Schofield while aboard ship with postmarks from Cuba England Scotland and many other locations. A fair bit of the correspondence relates to his union activities and the concerns of he and his fellow seaman making for a fascinating insight to the machinations of the seafaring unions: one letter from a fellow seaman references a sit down strike in Boston that Schofield helped organize and this seems to have come back to haunt him later in life. There are several typed letters from the Seaman's Union preparing for major unrest and strikes. A particularly fascinating piece of ephemera appears to be a handwritten resolution to negotiate with the powerful ship owners which Schofield wrote while he was aboard ship in Panama. Overall G. HISTORICAL NOTES: One online source: The ship was built by the British Admiralty at Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation in Alameda California and completed as SS Independence for the War Shipping Board on November 16 1918. With the commencement of World War I the ship was acquired by the US Navy and commissioned the USS Independence on November 18 1918. After service in the War the ship was decommissioned on March 20 1919 and turned over to the United States Shipping Board for merchant service. In 1930 it was acquired by the Baltimore Mail Steamship Company rebuilt as a passenger liner renamed the SS City of Norfolk and sailed regularly to Europe. In 1940 it was then acquired by the US Navy again recommissioned the USS Neville and served in both the Asiatic-Pacific and the Europe-Africa-Middle East theaters during World War II. Decommissioned on April 30 1946 the ship was eventually towed to the James River National Defense Reserve Fleet in Lee Hall Virginia and ultimately sold for scrap on March 25 1957. The USS Neville earned 5 battle stars for World War II service.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF S.S. NORFOLK FRANKLIN J.
