88pp, loosely inserted sheet of light card with 12 figures, thick paper covers. The contents are in very good condition with two minor annotations noted and a touch of wear. There are two small pieces of tape stuck to the top & bottom of the sheet of figures. The covers are browned at the edges and spine. The corners are worn and there are some numbers written on the front cover in ink. This is an adaptation from an unpublished larger work giving a complete theory of animal flight written between 1896 and 1906, which it seems that Ulevold attempted to get published without success. However, the birth of powered flight in the early 1900s gave Ulevold the opportunity to adapt his earlier work into something relevant to the construction of aeroplanes and he self published this work in 1913. A rare booklet, no other examples are recorded on COPAC or WorldCat. UK postage for this item will be lower than the ABE default rate.

Store description
A member of the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA), I have been a nearly full time bookseller since the mid 2000s working from home in Bristol. I concentrate on books on transport (mainly railways), industrial history, maritime, topography, the Beatles & other groups from the 1960s and interesting ephemera. I particularly specialise in official publicity of the British railway companies. I sell on ABE, on eBay under the moniker 'mr.publicity' and at book and transport collectors' fairs. I keep a modest stock of quality material which is constantly changing - I spend a good deal of my time travelling around the UK seeking out and acquiring new stock. …
