Harry N. Abrams, 1996

A Superb Reference Work
This really is a "must-have" book for anyone interested in the details of what Plains Indians wore. It contains hundreds of wonderful full colour plates of Ledger Drawings by Plains Indians of Plains Indians. The production values of the book are also very high indeed, so that it is not only a marvellous reference work, it is also beautiful to look at and to hold. The standard of scholarship of ...

Impala, 2006

Russia and Beyond is a young woman's account of herself and her family in the chaotic years surrounding the Russian Revolution and Civil War of 1917-20, followed by a long self-exile in Russo-Chinese Manchuria, and the beginnings of a new life in America in the 1930s.

DAYS OF EMPEROR AND CLOWN: THE ITALO-ETHIOPIAN WAR 1935-1936

James Dugan and Laurence Lafore

Doubleday, 1973

Mussolini
This is the story of a small war that was a preamble to the great war, and a watershed war that changed the course of modern history. Mussolini ordered the invasion of Ethiopia on trumped-up charges, in large part to inspire new respect for his government. It didn't seem that the tribal chiefs of Ethiopia, barefoot warriors with spears, would be a match for Mussolini's Modern Army. But ...

HP Trade, 2006

How to put together a kit
This book tells you how to put a kit together. It has nothing to do with building a street rod from an actual Ford Car. The title misrepresents the contents.

OUTSTANDING 2 BOOK SERIES
I recently received both books (A-M and N-Z) in this series and they are truly an outstanding set of books! I also own Brunialti's "Tribute To America" and "American Costume Jewelry 1935-1950" books but this series with newly updated and researched information along with 300 new photos is a collector's dream! Besides glorious photos, it provides patent information, detailed descriptions, along ...

Luftwaffe Colours 1935 - 1945

Hikoki Publications, 2008

Shades of the Luftwaffe
This is the second edition and just in thickness this has more pages. I have not compared the color chips closely but it does seem to have a new color chip table. Some of the tech manual pages reproduced in greyscale in the original are in color in this volume. Hikoki always puts out a great product, and while expensive is always value for the money. Only for dedicated luftwaffe fans, or ...

The Education of Blacks in the South, 1860-1935

4 reviews
James D. Anderson

The University of North Carolina Press, 1988

Everything We Were Not Told
This book represents a well documented work. Using primary sources, Anderson describes the heroic African American efforts to gain, through education, the participatory citizenship status which they deserved. In the process, he exposes the Caucasian American (both northern and southern) efforts to blantantly repress these education efforts and to disenfranchise African Americans of their due. ...

Documenting America, 1935-1943 (Approaches to American Culture)

University of California Press, 1988

Between 1935 and 1943, a group of photographers under the direction of Roy Emerson Stryker set out to photograph the United States for the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information. Photographs taken by this celebrated group, whose ranks included Dorothea Lange, Ben Shahn, Gordon Parks, Russell Lee and Walker Evans, have since become icons of the 1930s and 1940s. In recent years, however, their work has been reproduced with ...

Houses of Los Angeles, 1920-1935 (Urban Domestic Architecture) (Urban Domestic Architecture)

6 reviews
Sam Watters

Acanthus Press, 2007

CALIFORNIA DREAMING
As with all the books Acanthus Press puts out this one is fantastic. The images are crisp and beautifully executed and the text is well layed out and flows well. Los Angeles is graced with many elegant pre war mansions and this book showcases some of the best, although some of the houses picked are perplexing, and some omissions were shocking, like the Warner estate; but Greystone, Green Acres, ...

Stan Cohen

Pictorial Histories Publishing Company, 1985

An Excellent Collection
This book is one of the finest collections on information regarding Pan-Am's famous flying boats. Loaded with old photos, classic ads, maps and much more, this book details the building of the reknown yet short lived Pacific air route. I read it from cover to cover in two days and enjoyed every page of it.

The German-Jewish Economic Elite 1820-1935: A Socio-Cultural Profile

1 review
W. E. Mosse

Oxford University Press, USA, 1989

Too many anecdotes not enough analysis
Lifestyles of the German-Jewish Elite W. E. Mosse embarks on an elaboration of the German-Jewish Elite between 1820-1935 in his appropriately titled: The German-Jewish Economic Elite 1820-1935: A Socio-cultural Profile. This book was published in 1989, just two years after another book of his which dealt with the same topic of German-Jewish economic elite, but in a more generic, abstract, and ...

The Royal Handmaid: 1935 (The House of Winslow #32)

1 review
Gilbert Morris

Bethany House Publishers, 2004

Decent HOW book but there are better
The House of Winslow as a whole is absolutely riveting. This particular book is decent but not one of the best in the series. Rena Matthews is a stuck up control freak for a good portion of the book, but then she comes around, eventually. Nothing like a good dose of "lost on a tropical island" to get one's head out of the clouds. The heavy characterization really shines through her. ...

Great Photos and History
This is a superb look at New York's Harbor and the great ships that sailed to its port. There's many fantastic ariel shots of NYC in the pre-steel and glass era. Lots of history of the ports of Brooklyn, which served passengers as well as the retrofitting of many visiting ships. There's several modern day photos as well, including the liner Norway passing the World Trade Center on September 5, ...

Michael Lesy

W. W. Norton & Company, 2002

Looking backwards
A stunning book of 410 photos from the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information archives now in the Library of Congress. This book takes a different approach to the many others which use FSA photos, here you will not see many of those well-known images of poverty in rural areas, the effects of land erosion, the plight of Southern sharecroppers, not even the greatest FSA photo of ...

New York Interior Design, 1935-1985, Vol. 1: Inventors of Tradition
Judith Gura

Acanthus Press, 2008

New York City has always been home to the chic and urbane a place where Andy Warhol entertained in his French Empire salon and where Babe Paley served martinis and cigarettes in her taxicab-yellow living room. Who made this city the center of cosmopolitan interior design as we know it today? The answer is found in the lavishly illustrated profiles of the nearly 100 interior designers featured in the two-volumes of New York Interior Design 1935 ...
