Unattributed Joy Rides
Unattributed Hardcover Very Good
n.d. - c. 1920's. Ten pages of full page chromolithograph illustrations featuring different modes of transport, including, trains, topless bus, railway, car, postal van, fire engine, motor bike and airplane. The illustrations feature children enjoying the travel and dressed in lovely 1920's period dress. The colours are bright. Its very difficult to find out any information on this book as there is no publisher or author. The type of book is similar to those produced by Raphael Tuck of the period. I can not find any other copies either in library collections or on line. The backstrip is chipped around the staples. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Unattributed The Golden Picture Book of Aeroplanes
London and Melbourne Ward, Lock & Co., Limited Hardcover Very Good
n.d., estimate from cover and contents to be 1951/2. Front cover shows a colour illustration of the Vickers Viking 1B, drawn by Gildersleve. Contains four colour plates and 60 black and white. Nicely presented as a conversation between father and son / daughter. Sections on transporting animals, aircrew training, history of flight, famous flights and so on. This book was published several times, each time being updated to reflect newer aircraft. I have also had one with a Comet on the front cover, obviously later than this one. One of the colour illustrations [also by Gildersleve] is of a Viscount 700, the same tail number that won the New Zealand air race in 1953. This illustration is not in the race livery and so I deduce is prior to this, hence dating of book. 25x19 cm; unpaginated. Red backstrip; Gold lower board and upper board border. Corners, top / tail of backstrip bumped. Clean contents. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
