Osprey, United Kingdom, 2003. Edition Unstated. Softcover. Good Condition. Illustrator: Spedaliere. The defence of the 9th-century kingdom of Wessex under King Alfred the Great against the 'Great Viking Army' is one of the major military achievements of early medieval history. While the guerrilla warfare in the Somerset marshes and the battle of Edington are characteristic of Alfred's military abilities, his definitive physical achievement was a series of some 30 well-structured fortifications across the kingdom. They continued to form a basis of West Saxon rule during the period of the emergence of an English kingdom in the 10th century under Alfred's son, King Edward 'the Elder'. This title traces the development, construction and impact of these fortifications from the 9th to the 11th centuries AD. Card Covers. Size: 180mm - 250mm. 64 pages.

Antique Collectors' Club, United Kingdom, 2011. Edition Unstated. Hardcover. Good Condition/Good. Illustrator: Amit Pasrichaa (photographer). The buildings of Mughal India constitute one of the world's greatest architectural traditions. Whether it is the Taj Mahal in Agra, the Red Fort in Delhi or the palaces of Fatehpur Sikri, these and other similarly well-preserved monuments of the 16th and 17th centuries testify to the refined taste and unlimited resources of a line of powerful patrons, notably the emperors Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan.

Beta-Plus Publishing, Italy, 2010. Edition Unstated. Hardcover. Good Condition/Good. Illustrator: Jordi Sarra (Illustrated by). In recent years, Saint-Tropez, a heavenly spot on the French Cote d'Azur, has evolved into one of the most sophisticated holiday destinations for the 'Jet set'. Initially under the impetus of the many celebrities and wealthy citizens who lived there during the summer months, many luxurious holiday homes were built in a Provencal or Italian inspired style in Saint-Tropez.
