Amsterdam, Jacob van Meurs, 1676.
Folio (220 x 330 cm). 3 works in 1 volume. (6), 428, 349, (16); (1), 121, (4) pp. Title-page printed in red and black. With a richly engraved allegorical frontispiece representing Africa, a large folding engraved map of Africa (445 x 560 cm), 14 double-page engraved maps of parts of Africa and the adjacent islands, 27 double-page and 1 larger folding engraved plates and views, and 55 half-page engraved views, plans, illustrations of costumes, animals, plants, etc. in the text. All illustrations hand-coloured by a contemporary hand. Contemporary vellum at a later date with elaborate blind-tooled decorations, including oriental portraits. With 2 decorated brass clasps, signed B-I. First impression of the second, much enlarged Dutch edition of Dapper's famous description of Africa. Olfert Dapper (1636-89) was celebrated by his contemporaries for his descriptions of faraway lands. He began his writing career with a description of Amsterdam, where he spent his whole life. His description of the entire continent of Africa and its islands was first published in 1668, which was still early in his career. It is now accepted as his best work and was translated into German and English in 1670, and into French in 1686. The present second edition was thoroughly revised. - Dapper's attention was drawn mainly to the Islamic North of Africa, and he gives extensive descriptions of the area between Morocco and Egypt (with a magnificent illustration of pyramids) and the Ethiopian Empire (Abyssinia). He maps the whole of Africa, Egypt and Ethiopia including the Arabian Peninsula as far as the Gulf and the Red Sea. He includes an impressive double-page plate with a view of a Hajj caravan from Cairo to Mecca. - Of special interest are the book's abundant, exact and finely executed illustrations - especially as they are here coloured by a contemporary hand, a highly unusual feature for this work. The illustrations include engraved maps of the states, provinces, and towns, engraved plates and a large number of engravings in the text representing the residents, the lesser-known plants and animals. - Dapper's interdisciplinary approach was innovative. He compiled his description of Africa from various sources, including unpublished Dutch reports and eye-witness accounts, most of them now lost or scarce, which lends this early work on Africa an enduring historical value. - Faded manuscript title on spine. Covers and spine slightly rubbed, clasps reattached, new ties. Otherwise in very good condition. Cox I, 361. Gay, L'Afrique, 219. Mendelssohn I, 413f. Tiele 298.

D-Day Bombers : The Veterans' Story : RAF Bomber Command and the US Eighth Air Force Support to the Normandy Invasion 1944
Bounty Books 2007 D-Day Bombers : The Veterans' Story by Stephen Darlow is 288 pp with a centre photo section & 750g packed to post. D-Day Bombers: The Veterans' Story is largely an eye-witness account of the vital heavy bomber contribution to the success of the D-Day landings and therefore to the winning of the war in Europe. It is told using considerable first-hand experience from the veterans of the campaign something not really covered in any other books on the subject together with background information from primary source documents on the tactics and strategy employed before during and after the invasion. Eight different aircrews five RAF and three USAAF tell widely differing stories of their part in the operations. Their vivid and dramatic accounts are supplemented by numerous contributions from other aircrew and ground crew veterans army personnel and French civilians which have been carefully gathered by Stephen Darlow from interviews with the participants and their relatives through correspondence and contemporary diaries. Certain raids have been selected and described in detail and there are numerous previously unpublished photographs. As Winston Churchill wrote: '.This is no war of chieftains or of princes of dynasties or national ambition; it is a war of peoples and of causes. There are vast numbers not only in this island but in every land who still render faithful service in the war but whose names will never be known whose deeds will never be recorded.' By meeting with the veterans themselves Stephen Darlow has helped to record such deeds. Here is their story sixty years on. Bounty Books hardcover

The outcome was my first book Lancaster Down!"
