Description:
A sweet Angel frontispiece and a title page with gold, red and black lettering. 9 other pages of text in Black and Red, plus 3 other full-page illustrations. Endpapers show a young woman kneeling down with an open book in her lap while looking at a cross on the opposite page. It looks as if the front endpaper with the cross on it has been removed from the book, but all other pages are intact. Some discolouring of the pages but still a lovely item.

Description:
A touching story about a stray dog who turned up one summer in a seaside town. He proved to be completely irresistible and the shop owners adopted him. Then the dog met Eli, a writer, who had left the city for the quiet of the beach. Every day man and dog would drive along the sea and they shared a special friendship. But, when Fall came and the shops began to close, Eli returned to the city. Would the dog be left all alone again? Eli tried living in the city but it was difficult to write there; and he was worried about the dog. So Eli moved back to a house by the sea near the small town and adopted his little friend who he named Sam.

Description:
From the d.j. flap: "Alexander Graham Bell is known chiefly as the inventor of the telepohone, but his contributions to aerial flight and hydrofoil craft, although less widely known, were of great importance. In this book Dr. Parkin presents a detailed chronicle of the fascinating experiments in aerial flight and with hydrofoil craft conducted by Dr. Bell and his engineering assistant and collaborator, Frederick Walker (Casey) Baldwin. Bell was the Chairman and Baldwin the Chief Engineer of the Aerial Experiment Association (1907-1909), a group founded, inspired and financed by Mrs. Bell: the successes of the Association, it will be seen, were based largely on logical, step-by-step development under the guiding genius of Dr. Bell."
