This commemorative edition contains new and revised text and photographic material in addition to material previously published in The Untouchables in 1993. "Shul and Watson take you with them on their hottest SR-71 missions during the Libyan Crisis in 1896. Flying in support of the F-111 bombing raid on Libyan terrorist camps, they were the only SR-71 crew ever to fly three missions in three days. Roaring across the African desert faster than a Magnum .357 bullet, the crew reveals in riveting detail what it was like to outrun enemy missiles and complete the most exhausting missions of their Blackbird career. Masterfully intertwines cockpit action with the fascinating revelations of that unique cadre of civilians who helped design, build and maintain the most remarkable aircraft of the 20th Century. Lavishly illustrated with rare [color] photographs, [this book] is a riveting complementary volume to Sled Driver, taking you straight into the thick of combat through the firsthand perspectives of both Pilot and RSO. Transports you directly into the cockpit as the mission clock ticks down, revealing through the poignant words of those who were there why the people and the plane were truly untouchable." - dust jacket.

Publisher's black cloth adorned with bright gilt lettering and illustration. Unmarked. Contents clean and bright. Binding intact with minor lean. Boards mildly undulating. Somewhat above-average wear to dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A worthy signed copy of this epic SR-71 memento. Book
1818réf. 25055Paris: De l'imprimerie de Mme. veuve Agasse Rue des Poitevins no 6 1818. First Edition. Contemporary half leather. Very good; occasional spotting; modest rubbing. 8vo xl 1 - 192 2 - folding tables pp. 6 leaves of plates Rare. Among the most lethal of the commercial decorative-arts trades practiced in the 18th & 19th centuries. The gilding of bronze castings and the high finish and design achieved for such articles was a defining characteristic and mainstay of the Parisian clock furniture and arts trade. So dominant were the Parisian merciers in this that attempts to establish competitive practitioners of gilding in other nations all failed. The author's Ottomeyer & Pröschel have characterized the trade in their epoch two volume Vergoldete Bronzen 1986 as vol.1 p.323: "Das Pariser Vorbild blieb im 19. Jahrhundert wie auch auf vielen anderen Gebieten der Mode und des Luxus stets tonangebend. Die Geschichte der Bronzearbeiten während des Empire und der Restauration die sich nicht davon trennen läßt ist geprägt von der Abkehr von handwerklicher Gestaltung und Produktionsweise und dem zunehmenden Übergang zu Groß- serien der Luxusindustrie. Die genau nach Plan gefertigten Teile gingen durch viele Hände. Die additiven Strukturen der Herstellung durch die Serienfertigung bestimmt finden sich in der Formgebung wieder bei der die präzise abgestimmten vorgefertigten Metallteile wie Bausteine zusammengesetzt wurden.Es ist schwer zu sagen ob der Stil die Produktionsweise ermöglichte oder aber die Produktionsweise den Stil bestimmte der die Bronzearbeiten in ihrer kohärenten Formgebung bei additiver Zusammensetzung auszeichnet." D'Arcet's book is exceptional for its detailed exposition of the trade and the means to accomplishing the finished product. The book was printed by Mme. Agasse who was both printer and bookseller.

1885réf. ST20626-1London: Printed at the Chiswick Press for Elliot Stock 1885. FIRST EDITION. 181 x 111 mm. 7 1/8 x 4 3/8". xxvi ii 274 i.e. 276 including text leaf marked as pp. 223-224 2 pp. ANIMATED CONTEMPORARY OLIVE BROWN MOROCCO ELABORATELY GILT AND INLAID covers with two climbing roses with 70 gilt and inlaid blossoms of wine red or salmon pink morocco and dozens of tiny heart-shaped leaves rising from the lower corners and winding up the sides before curving toward the center of the board in a heart shape the branches on a pointillé ground accented with tiny droplets upper cover with monogram of Eleanor Vere Boyle raised bands spine panels with rose branch featuring three inlaid blooms on a pointillé ground gilt lettering wide turn-ins with gilt rose sprays at corners yellow watered silk endleaves top edge gilt. With original front wrapper bound in at rear. Front joint replaced with great skill. With floral vignettes on title and half title decorative headpieces and initials and 11 full-page wood engravings by Boyle EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED with 28 engravings by Eisen Mariller Gravelot and many others. Spine lightly sunned to a hazel brown some extra-illustrations a little foxed occasional light to moderate offsetting from plates but the contents in excellent condition clean and bright throughout and the binding with only the most negligible signs of wear. The subject here is roses--on the extremely charming and exuberant binding in the text and in the illustrations. They were the favorite flower of author and illustrator Eleanor Vere Boyle 1825-1916 who planted them on a large scale in her garden at Huntercombe Manor. The popular illustrator of 14 children's books Boyle used most of her income to support charitable works in the parish where her husband was vicar. In her 50s she turned from illustrating to writing focusing primarily on nature and gardens as her subjects. Here she has collected English poems as well as translations in English of excerpts from poems in Greek Latin Persian Italian and French all of them celebrating the rose. Her illustrations show either close-ups of a flower or an adorable cupid accompanied by the flower of Venus. The press work in the present volume is first rate as one expects from the Chiswick Press and the binding is a riot of floral glimmering. Although the binding is unsigned the animated unconventional design is reminiscent of the work of the Guild of Women Binders while the execution is of exceptional quality equal to the productions by leading London workshops like Riviere and Zaehnsdorf.
