Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Twelve-year-old, David Griffin, is a baseball fanatic and a sixth-grade student. The weather in coastal Connecticut is unseasonably warm at the beginning of March, so David is distracted by his daydreams of being a star baseball pitcher. But then David learns that he has to pass Monday's test on weather in order to pass science and live out his dream. David's parents are doctors and his Grandpa is a weather scientist, so there will be no baseball season or season tickets to see his favorite baseball team play if David fails. David and his best friend, Jon, decide to search Grandpa's lab in the family basement for something to help him pass his test. In the process, they discover the Snowmallows - marshmallows shaped like snowflakes that were scientifically altered by Grandpa to make it snow when they are put into mugs of hot cocoa. Unfortunately, David and Jon don't read all the instructions on the bag and use too many Snowmallows. They set off a snowstorm that doesn't stop - where snow piles reach 6 feet high in some places.

paperback. Bookbinding (illustrateur). 275 x 210 mm. paperback. 200pp + 8pp. Including a story of the Great Omar, a jewelled binding of the Rub'iyat of Omar Kahyyam lost on the Titanic in 1912. "This book undoubtedly is the most complete story of [Sangorski & Sutcliffe]. Shepherd brings the S & S story to life by describing their astounding book designs and by assiduously recounting the bindery's place in the context of its time in history. This book, while telling the S & S story in an engaging way, reveals how to succeed in the field of book binding." -Barbara Adams Hebard, GBW Newsletter, No. 286, June 2026 This book charts the history of one of the most important craft bookbinding workshops of the twentieth century. Sangorski & Sutcliffe was founded in 1901. The founding partners, Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe, established a business specialising in only the finest quality work and within a few years the workshop had grown into the most important hand bindery of the Edwardian era. The firm's greatest achievement from the early years, a binding that was to become known as the Great Omar, was decorated with over a thousand jewels; the story of its creation and subsequent loss on the Titanic has all the mystery and intrigue of a romantic melodrama. This book also includes the dramatic story of the second Great Omar, created during the turbulent years preceding the Second World War. The first fifty years of the company's history was a period which saw many changes in both the bookbinding industry and in the firm's fortunes. There were many notable successes, particularly in the years before and after the First World War, but the financial crash in 1929 and the depression that followed had serious consequences for a business dependent on exports and a luxury market. This is the story, in part, of how a small manufacturing firm adapted to economic pressures in testing times. The chapter 'Gentlemen and Players' looks at the influence the Arts and Crafts movement had on the trade, particularly during Sangorski& Sutcliffe's formative years, and examines the monetary and social conditions which led eventually to the closure of many of the larger firms. A good deal of material has been published about the practical aspects of craft bookbinding. There are also plenty of books on the history of the craft, particularly from a design perspective, but very little has been written about the commercial binderies that flourished in the 19th and early part of the 20th centuries and the contribution they made to hand-binding at its highest level. There is a danger the history of fine trade binding could disappear forever. The story of one hand bindery highlights the significant role the professional trade has played in preserving this noble and significant craft, a trade which Sangorski& Sutcliffe continues to this day.
