Highlights from American Greats (from the rear outer cover): "It remains what it was, the greatest of bridges, the Brooklyn Bridge, made in America, its appeal defying time, a symbol now no less than ever of brave work nobly done." - David McCullough on the Brooklyn Bridge. "There is only one Chez Panisse. In this age of multiple restaurants it has no clones in London, Las Vegas, or Tokyo. Because Alice Waters has more than money on her mind." - Ruth Reichl on Chez Panisse. "Duke Ellington liked to claim he won his job at the Cotton Club, in December 1927, because he showed up three hours late for the audition, as did the owner, who heard only Ellington and non of his rivals." - Gary Giddins on the Duke Ellington Orchestra. "They [the editors] had uncanny ears for a false note; they sometimes surprised you by accepting a daring or experimental piece; they manifested a cloistered virtue, in a fallen, hustling world, that made appearing anywhere else feel like a dangerous trespass." - John Updike on The New Yorker. "Our original goal was simple, and only in retrospect, revolutionary: to use television to help children learn. We knew young children watched a great deal of television in the years before they went to school. We also knew they liked cartoons, game shows, and situation comedies; that they responded to slapstick humor, music with a beat, and above all - sadly - fast-paced, oft-repeated commercials." - Joan Ganz Cooney on Sesame Street. "So here I was, my anxiety over the flight spilling all over Danny DeVito, my fears at the time very real. Danny responded, 'Look there's no way you're going to crash because I am the LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE, and since I need you to do this work with me when you come back, there is no way you don't make it back.' 'Great,' I said. 'I can just picture it; the plane is on fire and as we crash I'm screaming, "Ha, ha Danny. Your luck has run out.' " - James L. Brooks on television situation comedy. "What made the Wright brothers' successful early experiments so remarkable is that neither had any academic education in physics. They were entirely self-taught. The difference between them and other small town entrepreneurs was they had a genius for learning, and for identifying new problems to solve." - John Keegan on the Wright Brothers. "West Point has always seemed to me to be unusually close to Main Street in Middle America; it is a place without glitz, which without consciously trying, reflects both the norm, the center, and the diversity of America. Again and again it turns out good people of significant personal modesty and a powerful sense of obligation." - David Halberstam on West Point.…

hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Victoria's Harvest: The Irish Soldier in the Zulu War of 1879, David Truesdale & John Young â" First Edition Publication: Solihull, Helion & Company Limited, 2016 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 372. Condition Report: Fine. The book presents in exceptional, unread condition, with vibrant red cloth boards that remain entirely free from shelf-wear, bumping, or rubbing to the extremities. The silver foil stamping to the spine is perfectly unoxidised and sharply defined, indicating proper storage away from damp or fluctuating temperatures. The binding is square, rigid, and remarkably tight. Internally, the leaves are flawlessly clean, bright, and devoid of any marginalia, foxing, or previous ownership markings. The accompanying unclipped dust jacket is similarly immaculate, retaining its original vivid coloration without any sun-fading, edge-creasing, or chipping to the delicate head and tail edges. Catalogue Note: This is a first edition, first printing of Truesdale and Young's military study. The volume is profusely illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs and detailed campaign maps by Roy McCullough, alongside striking cover art ('The Drums of the 24th' by S. G. Lark) reproduced from the John Young Collection. Given its relatively recent publication date and specific subject matter, this title remains common on the open market. Multiple pristine copies are currently held in dealer inventories across the UK, making this an accessible addition for military history enthusiasts rather than a scarce antiquarian commodity. Victoriaâs Harvest offers a meticulous exploration of the often-overlooked Irishmen who served within Queen Victoria's Army during the tumultuous Zulu War of 1879. Moving beyond the broader geopolitical narratives of the conflict, Truesdale and Young deliver an intimate, regiment-focused history that details the bravery, sacrifices, and distinct cultural identity of the Irish soldier. From the devastating defeat at Isandlwana to the heroic stands that followed, this richly illustrated volume resurrects the personal histories and vital contributions of the men from the Emerald Isle who fought on the South African veldt.
