A propos de cet article

Small quarto, hardcover, near fine in lightly edgeworn blue pictorial dj. Preface by Enrico Mattei. Translated from the Italian. "On the night of November 3rd-4th, 1966, Florence slept as the waters rose. Disaster had already overwhelmed the low-lying areas in the surrounding countryside, and in the city itself the drains could no longer cope with the pitiless rain and the endless flow of water. Then, at about four o'clock in the morning tragedy struck: an enormous volume of water and mud, racing along at forty mile s an hour, reached the city, overwhelming everything in its track, carrying away motorcars and trees, bursting into churches, homes, palaces and galleries. Few precaustions had been taken to save the world's most concentrated collection of treasure s, and those too late. Fourteen hundred priceless major works of art were damaged, many seriously; countless valuable and irreplaceable books and manuscripts were submerged; frescoes, sculptures, paintings, archaelogical objects, archives, carvings were soaked with mud and oil, irreparabley damaged, or even totally destroyed. " 133 pp. B/w photos throughout. …

Description de la boutique

I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!…
