Nancy Spain 1917-1964 is perhaps best remembered today as a broadcaster and journalist who wrote for the 'Daily Express' and the 'News of the World' in the 1950s and 1960s and also appeared on a series of radio broadcasts including 'Woman's Hour'. She also wrote numerous works of non-fiction and a series of detective novels which were described by the biographer Rachel Cooke as "eccentric and outrageously camp".

Abraham Goos 1590 c. 1643 was a Dutch cartographer publisher and engraver. He made globes maps of North America a comprehensive map of European coastlines and the first printed Hebrew language map of The Holy Land. His first teacher was Jodocus Hondius 15631612 a renowned map-maker whose son-in-law was Johannes Janssonius. After Hondius died his son-in-law Jan Janssonius took over Hondius's business and continued the partnership with Goos. One of Hondius' specialties was the manufacture of globes and Goos and Janssonius continued this regularly modifying them as more geographical information became available. In 1616 he published Nieuw Nederlandtsch Caertboeck an atlas of the Seventeen Provinces in 23 maps and one of the first atlases of the Netherlands; Johannes Janssonius 1588-1664 was a renowned geographer and publisher of the seventeenth century when the Dutch dominated map publishing in Europe. unknown

Costituzione Politica della Monarchia Spagnuola Promulgata in Cadice il 19 Marzo 1812. Piacenza: Dai Tipi d'Ignazio Orcesi 1814. 72 pp. Octavo 6" x 4". Stab-stitched pamphlet bound into recent paper-covered boards lettering piece to spine. Moderate toning negligible faint dampstaining to head of text block and upper outside corners in a few places. $650. Very rare Piacenza printing based on the translation that had appeared in Milan in the same year of the short-lived but influential Spanish constitution of 1812 one of the first attempts to construct a codified constitutional monarchy which applied not only to Spain but to the Spanish holdings in South America and the Philippines and gave Spanish citizenship to the natives of any territory that belonged to the Spanish monarchy but not necessarily those of African descent who could acquire citizenship through naturalization. This constitution was driven by the need to give legitimacy to the newly installed Joseph Bonaparte as king. Although it was repealed shortly after the restoration in 1814 of Ferdinand VII its influence was widespread. It was the model for the constitutions of Norway in 1814 and Mexico in 1824. A number of Italian printings appeared in several varying translations between 1812 and 1814. Our Piacenza printing is one of the rarest. OCLC locates 1 copy University of Turin Italy. unknown

From November 9 to December 12 1970 the Interzonal Qualifying Chess Tournament for the Candidates Cycle took place in the splendid city of Palma de Mallorca in Spain which in eliminatory matches would consecrate the challenger of the World Champion Boris Spassky. The expectation generated by the Interzonal competition in the chess world was mainly centered on the participation in the event of the North American Grandmaster Robert �Bobby� Fischer who came to the tournament as a favorite after his recent huge performances in the tournaments Zagreb who won with a 2-point difference and Buenos Aires won with a difference of. 3.5! in which he showed an enormous superiority against rivals such as Gligoric Smyslov Kortchnoi Panno and Petrosian just to name a few. For many connoisseurs the �Fischer� phenomenon had exploded confirming the laurels he had already achieved since his times as a child prodigy and it only remained to know if his somewhat unstable character would not play a trick on him in Palma.

Fascinating work on the trial of Dominican Froilan de Llanos who was the official confessor of Charles II of Spain. Fray Froylan Diaz de Llanos was convinced that the king's poor health was a result of a spell cast on him.

When the queen found out about the accusations against her Froylan Diaz de Llanos was dismissed from the post of royal confessor and transferred to the diocese of the city of Avila and subsequently arrested by the Tribunal of the Inquisition on charges of heresy.
