Paperback. Zustand: Good. A Dictionary of Geography (1950) by W.G. Moore (Penguin Reference Books) ? Condition: Good, as sold by Crappy Old Books You know what they say: never judge a book by its cover?especially if that cover has recently been glued back on with the tender loving care of a battlefield medic applying stitches. Yes, this 1950 Penguin reference treasure came to us in a state that could politely be called ?geographically dislocated? (the body had parted ways with the cover), but after a careful round of literary first aid, it now stands proudly whole once again. Think of it as a vintage atlas with a hip replacement: sturdy, dependable, and ready for another fifty years of service. Inside, you?ll find a glorious mid-century attempt to pin down the sprawling world of geography into tidy alphabetical order. Mountains, rivers, peninsulas, archipelagos?it?s all here, explained in the no-nonsense tone of a schoolmaster who expects you to know your Dardanelles from your Delaware. There?s something wonderfully grounding about a reference book from 1950. For one thing, half the world still hadn?t been rebranded by post-colonial renaming. Expect to bump into countries and borders that have since vanished into history, which makes this dictionary not only a tool of enlightenment but also a fossil record of geopolitics gone by. Condition-wise, this copy is officially Good , but thanks to its restorative surgery, it?s now more solid than many books half its age. The cover is snug, the pages remain crisp, and the book has that dignified air of a Penguin reference that has seen classrooms, libraries, and perhaps the odd kitchen table map quiz. Whether you?re a geography buff, a retro reference collector, or just someone who likes the idea of owning a time capsule that casually explains the world as it was three-quarters of a century ago, this is a book worth giving shelf space to. And if nothing else, it?s living proof that with a dab of glue and a bit of patience, the world really can be put back together.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Condition: (see pics.) Some scuffing to the edges.Still a very good, clean and tight copy. Name of previous owner scratched out on front endpaper. Synopsis: What is a fugue? What is the difference between a saxophone and a saxhorn? Who besides Puccini wrote an opera called La Boheme? In what year was the National Broadcasting Company Orchestra formed under Arturo Toscanini's direction? These and thousands of similar questions are answered in this comprehensive dictionary that remains unrivaled as a single-volume summary. A New Dictionary of Music is a basic reference work for anyone interested in music, whether performer or layman. It covers orchestral, solo, choral, and chamber music, opera, and (in its musical aspects) the ballet. There are entries for composers (with biographies and details of compositions); works well known by their titles, such as operas and symphonic poems; orchestras, performers and conductors of importance today; musical instruments (including those of the dance and brass bands); and technical terms. English names and terms are used whenever possible, but foreign terms in general use are cross-referenced. Particular importance has been attached to bringing the reader abreast of new musical developments. The composers and musical works chosen were those most likely to be encountered. Where an opera is given an entry, a brief explanation of the title follows. Similarly explication is provided for other works bearing literary or otherwise allusive titles. Among performers and conductors, only the following are included: those who, although dead, continue to be prominent through recorded performances (e.g., Gigli); the highest-ranking international artists of today, plus a very few apparently on the verge of attaining that rank; a few who, though not necessarily at the very head of their profession, are closely associated with composers in bringing out new works, or are conductors in charge of important orchestras. Arthur Jacobs is well-known both in his native England and in the United States as a critic, author, translator of librettos, lecturer, and broadcaster.
