Bloomsbury Publishing PLC British Railway Tickets Shire Library
Book SynopsisIn 1838 Thomas Edmondson, an employee of the fledgling Newcastle & Carlisle Railway, revolutionised the ticket issuing process in Britain and left an enduring legacy: the Edmondson ticket. Purchased as proof of the contract between passenger and railway company, the ticket was a receipt, travel pass and an ephemeral record of almost every train journey ever taken in the British Isles, reflecting the nostalgia of the railways and a period of history when the movement of millions of people brought together England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The railways printed millions of tickets for every conceivable journey and category of passenger. Most were destroyed after use, but remarkably many survive, in the care of libraries, museums and collectors, and form the basis of a fascinating hobby.Table of Contents?Introduction / The Edmondson Ticket and Railway Travel in Britain / Types of Ticket / How Tickets Tell the Story of a Railway / Modern Tickets / Collecting Railway Tickets / Further Information / Index

University of Toronto Press Medieval Manuscripts for Mass and Office
Book SynopsisMany books discuss the theology and doctrine of the medieval liturgy: there is no dearth of information on the history of the liturgy, the structure and development of individual services, and there is much discussion of specific texts, chants, and services. No book, at least in English, has struggled with the difficulties of finding texts, chants, or other material in the liturgical manuscripts themselves, until the publication of Medieval Manuscripts for Mass and Office in 1982.Encompassing a period of several centuries, ca 1200-1500, this book provides solutions for such endeavours. Although by this period the basic order and content of liturgical books were more or less standardized, there existed hundreds of different methods of dealing with the internal organisation and the actual writing of the texts and chants on the page. Generalization becomes problematic; the use of any single source as a typical example for more than local detail is impossible. Taking for

Grove Press / Atlantic Monthly Press Mint Condition
Book SynopsisWhen award-winning journalist Dave Jamieson rediscovered his childhood baseball card collection he figured that now was the time to cash in on his “investments.” But when he tried the card shops, they were nearly all gone, closed forever. eBay was no help, either. Baseball cards were selling for next to nothing. What had happened? In Mint Condition, the first comprehensive history of this American icon, Jamieson finds the answers and much more. In the years after the Civil War, tobacco companies started slipping baseball cards into cigarette packs as collector’s items, launching a massive advertising war. Before long, the cards were wagging the cigarettes. In the 1930s, baseball cards helped gum and candy makers survive the Great Depression, and kept children in touch with the game. After World War II, Topps Chewing Gum Inc. built itself into an American icon, hooking a generation of baby boomers on bubble gum and baseball cards. In the 1960s, royalties from cards helped to transform the players’ union into one of the country’s most powerful, dramatically altering the business of the game. And in the ''80s and ''90s, cards went through a spectacular bubble, becoming a billion-dollar-a-year industry before all but disappearing. Brimming with colorful characters, this is a rollicking, century-spanning, and extremely entertaining history.

Duke University Press The Search for the Codex Cardona
Book SynopsisTells the story of the author's experiences on the trail of a cultural treasure, a Mexican 'painted book' that first came into public view at Sotheby's auction house in London in 1982, nearly four hundred years after it was presumably made by Mexican artists and scribes.Trade Review“The Search for the Codex Cardona is an amusing, informative, and novelistic scholarly book. It develops its topic rapidly with concise and shortsentences, which makes it easy to read. This book could serve undergraduatestudents and lay readers as an introduction to Mexican painted booksand graduate students and scholars as an introduction to the virtuallyunknown and now lost Codex Cardona, a possibly invaluable source of information about the Aztecs. In this sense, The Search for the Codex Cardona makes a unique contribution in that it focuses not on an available scholarly resource but on one that has never been available and that may no longer exist.” - Jongsoo Lee, The Latin Americanist“This book is a gripping tale of intrigue, contraband, covert operations, and a bit of conjecture. . . . In many ways it is a tale that many Latin American historians might dream of writing, about a chance encounter with a manuscript, a colorful character, or a hidden archive, but few of us ever do it. Bauer has.” - John F. Schwaller, The Americas“One can sense the author’s fun in writing this work and his enjoyment in speculating on the countless explanations concerning ownership of the manuscript, its survival over the centuries, and its contemporary location. Veterans of archival work will particularly appreciate his attempts to discover more (or any) information about the numerous historical surprises within the Cardona. For other readers, however, the great merit of this book will be its struggle with the moral and ethical issues facing museums, libraries, and universities trying to build research collections and preserve records of the past. . . . For scholars of colonial Latin American history, what a story to enjoy ourselves and to present to our students to contemplate!” - James A. Lewis, Hispanic American Historical Review“[T]he Search for the Codex Cardona is a superbly written thriller, of which any novelist would be proud. Once you begin it you will not wish to be disturbed!” - David J. Robinson, Journal of Latin American Geography“In 1985, in a private room in the Crocker Laboratory at the University of California at Davis, Bauer glimpsed a priceless antiquity: the Codex Cardona, a book painted by an Aztec scribe only a few years after Cortés’s arrival. . . . Bauer . . . passes through shady middlemen and well-connected connoisseurs (“Here in Mexico we can falsify anything,” one assures Bauer) in his quest to locate and authenticate the book. The Codex disappears; but during his hunt Bauer manages to convey Mexico’s odd and powerful charisma.” - Benjamin Moser, Harper’s“[P]art mystery story, part fantasy and part history. . . . The book reads like a novel rather than a historical tract.” - Alan R. Sandstrom, Times Higher Education Supplement“As in the best suspense novels, Bauer begins in the middle of the action. . . . His intriguingly conspiratorial tone enables the reader to be privy to his search for the answers to the scholarly riddles. . . . For readers who wish to learn about early contact-era Mexican painted manuscripts and how scholarly inquiry is conducted, this work has much to offer. It should also find a readership with those who like mystery mixed with their history and with readers who enjoy narratives on the search for lost rarities. . . .” - Library Journal“The Search for the Codex Cardona is a terrific read. I could hardly put it down. If the Codex is real, and I came to believe that it probably is authentic, then it is the most important document of the early colonial world to have come to light since the Florentine Codex surfaced in Italy in the late nineteenth century.”—Mary Miller, Dean of Yale College and author of The Art of Mesoamerica: From Olmec to Aztec“[T]he Search for the Codex Cardona is a superbly written thriller, of which any novelist would be proud.
