Eighth printing; 8vo; illustrations throughout the text, contents clean; original blue boards, titles to spine gilt, edges of boards very lightly rubbed, a very good copy in the lightly rubbed jacket with some minor creasing at the edges; 198pp. Thumbprint-signed copy of the eighth printing (published in the same year as the first), inscribed, 'To David Brown, Best Wishes, "To boldly go.", Stephen Hawking, 20 May 2005' and with the ink stamp 'right thumb-print of S.W. Hawking witnessed by Judith Croasdell'. The recipient was the former Deputy Head Porter at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, where Hawking was a Fellow. In 1974 physicist Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) made the revolutionary discovery that black holes, rather than being totally inescapable, actually release a type of energy now known as Hawking radiation. That same year he was elected one of the youngest-ever members of the Royal Society, and in 1979 he followed in the footsteps of Isaac Newton when he was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. Hawking began to consider writing for a general audience in the early 1980s and approached an editor at the Cambridge University Press, who suggested that he avoid equations. Famously, A Brief History of Time contains only one: e = mc2, instead relying on narrative and illustrations to explain complex concepts such as the Big Bang, the expansion and fate of the universe, quantum mechanics, black holes, the directionality of time, and the search for a unifying theory of physics. Despite its complex subject matter the book was an immediate success, and the Guardian has described it as 'a succinct, entertaining and brilliantly lucid account of our relationship with the universe' (McCrum, 'The 100 Best Non-Fiction Books No. 6', March 2016).

[Head of title: Flagellation & the Flagellants]. Small 8vo. xi, [1], 544 pp. Frontis., 20 illus., index. Modern full black calf and triangle-shaped red morocco onlays, raised bands, gilt stamping, upper cover with gilt central "rod and birch" motif, all edges gilt, marbled endleaves, hand bound by Martin Frost, with his gilt-stamped monogram label on rear board. Red cloth thumb-hold slip-case. Fine. "THE ALLURE OF THE WHIP!" With a splendid fore-edge painting showing a pair of horse or carriage riders, "riding" their partners, back-sides prominently showing, in the spirit of Thomas Rowlandson, and, in this case, like Martin Frost, who often displays a remarkable sense of humor and the exotic for artistry. Frost's signed book label mounted as a bookplate in front, dated 2007. The artist is playing with us by making the trees into the shape of a phallus (all of them!). Painting also signed "MF". Frost himself describes this as "A Rowlandesque road scene of travelers 'whipping up' themselves as well as their mounts!" / This is one of the early efforts of MF to bind and paint the book himself.

Woulkd make a stunning present for the etcher who has everything! Biographical note on the author "Ernest Stephen Lumsden, (born London, 22 December 1883, died Edinburgh, 29 September 1948) was a distinguished painter, noted etcher and authority on etching. He studied at Reading Art School from 1889 under Frank Morley Fletcher and briefly at the Académie Julian in Paris in 1903. In 1908 he accepted an appointment at the Edinburgh College of Art, where he taught for a few years. He traveled several times to India between 1912 and 1927 and is noted for his prints of Benares on the River Ganges. Between 1905 and 1946 E.S. Lumsden produced some 350 etchings most of which are represented in a collection held in the Burnaby Art Gallery, British Columbia, Canada. He always printed his own plates. Lumsden was elected an associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers in 1909 and raised to the full membership in 1915;.[3] He was elected an Associate of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1923 and a full member in 1933; and he was President of the Society of Artist Printers from 1929 to 1947. In 1925 the publishers Seeley Service issued what is still regarded as the seminal treatise on the subject of etching, called The Art of Etching.[4] In the book Lumsden describes the various techniques of intaglio printing using etching, drypoint, mezzotint and aquatint; he describes the history and development of etching through Rembrandt, Goya and the etching revival; and he reproduced personal, illustrated notes from several eminent etchers of the period on their techniques including: Marius Bauer, Frank Benson, Muirhead Bone, George Clausen, David Young Cameron, Frank Short, Augustus John, Frank Brangwyn, James McBey, Edmund Blampied, Percy Smith, Christopher Nevinson, Laura Knight, and John Everett. The book was published as a trade edition, which is still in print, and as a limited edition of 150 copies containing four original etchings by Lumsden." (source of above: Wikipaedia).
