TITLES: 1) "Lost Star: The Search for Amelia Earhart" by Randall Brink HARDCOVER 1994 W. W. Norton & Company Stated 1st Edition 1st printing with "First Edition" & numbers 1-0 on copyright page. Exactly as shown in listing scan(s). Nice stated 1st Edition 1st Printing Collectible hardcover copy In Dust Jacket.

Illustrated with maps & photos. Internally tight & unmarked. Binding Exterior: small abrasion at head of spine, but all lettering/decoration bright. NO REMAINDER MARK NOT X-LIBRARY. Light edge wear to SELDOM PRESENT $25 unclipped DJ.

2) "Straight on Till Morning: The Biography of Beryl Markham" by Mary Lovell. HARDCOVER 1987 St. Martin's Press Stated 1st Edition 1st printing with "First U.S. Edition" & numbers 1-10 on copyright page. Exactly as shown in listing scan(s). Nice Collectible stated 1st Edition 1st Printing hardcover copy In Dust Jacket.

"Biography of early woman aviator, Beryl Markham, is excellent and portrays her warts and all. She was raised among African children and became one of them, learning to hunt like a boy. She decided to learn to fly and this is where Beryl's fearlessness came to fruition. She was a woman in a man's world but soon made an impact, particularly in horse racing and aviation. She overcame numerous obstacles, including racial segregation in the United States and the challenge of learning a new language, to achieve her goals and become one of the first women to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. A great read about a larger-than-life woman, although many women found her to be extremely predatory, notably fellow African author, Karen Blixen. An Index, notes & bibliography at rear makes further research easier."

Illustrated with photos. Internally tight & unmarked. Binding Exterior: all lettering/decoration bright. NO REMAINDER MARK NOT X-LIBRARY. Light edge wear to SELDOM PRESENT $16.95 unclipped DJ.

3) "The Cannibal Queen: An Aerial Odyssey Across America" by Stephen Coonts.

Nice Collectible 1st Edition 1st Printing hardcover copy In Dust Jacket.

"The record of a flight, in the summer of 1991, to each of the contiguous 48 states in a WW II-vintage biplane trainer, by bestselling novelist Coonts. Though the subtitle seems to beg the book's comparison with John Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley" or William Least Heat-Moon's "Blue Highways," Coonts's gee-whiz tone soon places his book into a kind of upbeat appreciation of America rather than into a dour, midlife odyssey."

Illustrated with photos. Internally tight & unmarked. Binding Exterior: all lettering/decoration bright. NO REMAINDER MARK NOT X-LIBRARY. Light edge wear to SELDOM PRESENT $22 unclipped DJ ALL ITEMS ARE GUARANTEED TO BE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED, NOT DEFECTIVE, & GENUINE.
