The history of the matchbox label provides a fascinating pictorial guide and reference to social history. This book takes the reader from the beginnings of the industry - with its associated hazards - through its golden age in the years leadinf up to the First World War and on to more modern times. The huge range of illustrations shows just how effective the images used on the matchboxes were. The matchbox became a source of advertising revenue, and this attempt to beautify mundane objects included the depiction of topical and seasonal subjects, historical events, nature, and personalities of the time; models, film stars and musicians proved particularly popular. Each country had its own trends, and so some subjects covered such as children's games, humour and folklore, gave great insight into national characters and opinions. Even today, the matchbox label remains a barometer of social activity and a source of information. 187272728X

This book is the first of two volumes on the product history of Rovex. Tri-ang was the model railway arm of Lines Bros and was the first to market a relatively cheap, mass produced 2-rail system, with the use of plastic giving them a great edge over their principal rivals. This extensively revised edition of the book ensures that virtually every item, from the first simple train sets made by Rovex for Marks &Spencer, right through to the last products bearing the sole Tri-ang name, is illustrated and described in detail. A full check-list of all models is included with the book. This edition also includes 32 additional pages and over 100 new illustrated items uncovered by the author, Pat Hammond, in his determination to provide the definitive guide to the Tri-ang story.

The Book of Churchilliana is much more than just a tribute to Winston Churchill. Alongside a definitive collection of memorabilia, Douglas Hall provides the reader with a unique historical view on the man whose abiding image for millions is that of the indomitable bulldog with his world-famous v-sign and trademark cigar the inspiring leader who masterminded the Allied victory over Nazi Germany in the Second World War. It is almost impossible to do justice to the many different facets of this truly remarkable individual. As a soldier and politician who excelled as an artist and Nobel prize-winning author his qualities have been celebrated by the nation for years. As a result, memorabilia in the form of portraits, ceramics and all manner of accessories have never waned in popularity and have come to be known as Churchilliana. Churchilliana covers the wild and wacky (ashtrays, zippos, jam spoons and cartoons) to more official memorabilia such as, paintings, sculptures, plaques and correspondence. A
