A horribly deformed young man, who has been a freak attraction in traveling side shows, is found abandoned and helpless and is admitted for observation to Whitechapel, a prestigious London hospital. Under the care of a famous young doctor, who educates him and introduces him to London society, Merrick changes from a sensational object of pity to the urbane and witty favorite of the aristocracy and literati.

Mild shelfwear, including but not limited to impressions and sticker residue, but internally Fine, seemingly unread. From the back: Prior histories of the first Spanish mariners to circumnavigate the globe in the sixteenth century have focused on Ferdinand Magellan and the other illustrious leaders of these daring expeditions. Harry Kelsey's masterfully researched study is the first to concentrate on the hitherto anonymous sailors, slaves, adventurers, and soldiers who manned the ships.The author contends that these initial transglobal voyages occurred by chance, beginning with the launch of Magellan's armada in 1519, when the crews dispatched by the king of Spain to claim the Spice Islands in the western Pacific were forced to seek a longer way home, resulting in bitter confrontations with rival Portuguese. Kelsey's enthralling history, based on more than thirty years of research in… Leer más

From the dust jacket: Gene Roddenberry created a mythology for the twentieth century: Star Trek. One of the most successful television shows and cultural icons of all time, Star Trek was from the beginning a forum where its creator and its viewers could explore the most fundamental questions of life: What is the difference between sexuality and love? What does goodness mean? What is the role of government? Where does duty end and morality begin? And most often: What does it mean to be human? The Last Conversation is a poignant exploration of the inner world of Gene Roddenberry as he faced the end of his life. Insisting that no one could really know him or the sources of his creation without becoming part of his private world, he invited Yvonne Fern to live with him and his wife, Majel Barrett. "I want you to write me," he… Leer más

RARE. xxxvi p.; ill. Ex-library (the now-defunct Junto Local 91 Radical Library of Winnipeg) with stamp, stickers, and writing to covers, significant wear, including tears, nicks, etc. and dampstains throughout, which do not impact readability of text. A very down-to-earth zine, entirely handwritten and hand-drawn, which consists largely of stories recounting experiences hitchhiking and freighthopping (including a glossary of relevant terms). It also contains a short piece by a (western-raised) Iraqi woman struggling with her identity when faced with an offer of friendship by an Iraqi woman from Iraq.

RARE. Second Printing. 46 p.; ill.

First Edition. 284 p. ; includes Bibliography and Index (p. 275-284). Blue-green hardcover with gilt lettering to cover and spine, has very minor shelfwear and some bumping to tip and heel of spine, in price-clipped dust jacket which exhibits some edgewear, sunning, and minor soiling (mainly to rear cover) and is housed in an adjustable plastic sleeve. Internally, the book is Near Fine with deckled edge and illustrated endpapers. The colour dust jacket is by famous illustrator Paul Galdone (1907-1987). Though mostly noted for children's picture books, this early illustration (which appears to have gone unnoticed) depicts the lusty, rough-and-tumble, whisky-soaked life of northern goldminers. From the dust jacket: Gold mining with a pick and shovel is hard work. In the Far North it also entails being out in all weathers, risk of frostbite, solitude [...] What might have been a sordid and ugly account of predatory villainy becomes in his hands a tragicomedy of the last time America blew off steam.

Ex-library (the now-defunct Junto Local 91 Radical Library of Winnipeg) with only a stamp to the inside of the front cover, and minor bumping to bottom corner, otherwise Fine. From the publisher: This issue contains things that will make you laugh, smile, and cry - visiting friends in the hospital, the early morning, the story of the zine's title, picking up your friends shifts at work, Shelley's annual trips to India, and organizing drag shows. But the real gem of this issue is the story of teaching 9 to 15-year-olds how to fix bikes. It transcends the obvious and covers all kinds of education - homophobia, identity, feminism, and to question what we mean when we say 'community'.

The images printed in Interpol Times cannot be found online and are a series of surreal ink drawings that depict serial killers.
