Snowman, A. Kenneth; Faberge, Peter Carl
Faberge: Lost and Found - The Recently Discovered Jewelry Designs from the St. Petersburg Archives
176 pages. Index. Select bibliography. Endnotes. "Tells the story of the recent astonishing discovery of two of the original design books from the workshops of the House of Faberge in St. Petersburg. Within the pages of these record books are countless meticulous watercolor and ind drawings of, it seems, every jewel that was made by the firm from 1909 to 1915. Each design is dated and accompanied by detailed handwritten instructions as to type, number and weight of gemstones, precious metal setting, and color of enameling to be used in carrying out the piece. Hundreds of these invaluable - and incredibly beautiful - drawings are reproduced here for the first time, most in full color, with captions describing the jewel, the materials to be used, and the date of execution. And very often the actual finished jewels are photographed next to the drawings from which they were created." - from dust jacket. 205 illustrations, including 169 plates in full color. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Very slight lean to spine. An excellent copy. Book

Mullins, Eustace (Signed)
The World Order - A Study in the Hegemony of Parasitism
Signed by author on dedication page. 217 pages. "...The World Order, in its anxiety to maintain control of every aspect of our lives, has banned passion. As a poor substitute, it gives us drugs and degeneracy. There are many facts in this book which you, the reader, will not wish to accept. I ask you to accept nothing, but to make your own investigations. You may find even more astonishing true facts than I have managed to glean in thirty-five years of intensive and in-depth research." - from Foreword. Chapter titles include: The Rothschilds; Soviet Russia; Franklin Delano Roosevelt; The Business of America; The CIA; The Bechtel Complex; The Foundations; The Rule of the Order. Unread. Slight external wear. A superb copy, signed by possibly America's preeminent conspiracy researcher. Book
