Paperback. Zustand: Fair. When George Eastman decided to make photography his hobby, simple was hardly the word to describe the pastime. He had to lug 50 pounds of camera equipment around with him, including the fragile glass plates that would become pictures. But resourceful George wasn't one to put up with such inconvenience for long. Click is the story of how George Eastman developed a camera simple enough for anyone to use--the Kodak, predecessor of today's pocket instamatics--and forever revolutionized photography. Smith, Jan Hosking (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From the Munich Olympic Games when the athletes were murdered by terrorists, to the initialling of the Treaty of Rome when Britain entered the Common Market, Barbara Hosking was there. This is the story of a simple Cornish girl with no contacts or education, who ended up in the corridors of power. It is also a very personal story of her struggle with her sexuality as a bewildered teenager, to her being out and proud when it was terminally unfashionable to be so! Born during the General Strike in 1926 Barbara Hosking swam her way through London typing pools in the 1950s, to executive posts in the Labour Party, then to No. 10 as press officer to Harold Wilson and Edward Heath. Hers is a journey from Wardour Street through politics, to international law reform, then onto the Board of ITV. It is also the story of a Cornish childhood where life in the diary sometimes included going with her father to collect churns of milk from farms around Lands End, listening to tales of mermaids and giants, lifeboats and pasties. There are descriptions of politicians in the days when they were big Nye Bevan, Barbara Castle, Harold Wilson and Edward Heath who came to her 75th birthday at the Reform Club. There is also a 3-year detour when she worked on a copper mine in the African bush near Lake Tanganyika and discovered she was good with a gun. Later there are reminders of the great days of the ITV companies. The eggcups of Breakfast TV and Yorkshire TVs Darling Buds of May. It is a page-turner of a long life but, as Barbara says, `I had 91 years of raw material to work on. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
