Book Description Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. This copy is in as new, unmarked condition bound in black cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. There is a handsome book plate to the front paste down. The unclipped dust wrapper is lightly sunned to the leading edge on the front panel so best described as fine condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Heath Robinson (1872-1944) is Britain's "Gadget King"--master of the art of creating madcap contraptions that made use of ropes, weights, and pulleys to perform relatively simple tasks, from wart removal to peeling potatoes. Although he trained as a painter and also worked as a book illustrator, Robinson developed his forte with drawings of gadgets that parodied the absurdities of modern life. A true cartoonist, Robinson had a way of getting at the heart of the matter while simultaneously satirizing it mercilessly. He became a household name in Britain, and his popularity continues today with plans to build a museum in London to share with a new generation the story of his life and work. For the car enthusiast, How to Be a Motorist offers a compendium of Robinson's wonderfully inventive car-based contraptions, with innovations like a handy "zip-opening bonnet," a rear wheel to turn the car around with one movement, and a fork attachment to help rural motorists to avoid the occasional chicken on the roadway. The days of unsolicited driving advice could be over with the realization of Robinson's "duo car for the incompatible," and the book also includes a parody of a production line demonstrating how cars are made. A side-splittingly funny collection from the man whose "absurd, beautiful drawings" H. G. Wells claimed "give me a peculiar pleasure of the mind like nothing else in the world," this book make a perfect gift for anyone looking to have a laugh at our complicated and increasingly mechanical modern life.
