I am roughly dividing the book pages on this site according to subject. This page is sort of miscellaneous subjects.

If you should want digital photos of any of these books let me know. I can stick digital photos on here. It is usually a slow process. (I just stick the photos off the camera onto the site. I don't edit them for size.)

E-mailing photos of specific books would be faster and could possibly happen sooner than getting them on here. (I can edit the size and make them smaller. That just takes time. Let me know if you need E-mailed photos edited for size.)

Art:

Symbols of Visual Communication

Colophon

Thirty copies of this book were designed, printed and bound by Clifford Harvey in partial fulfilment of the B.F.A. degree requirements of The Minneapolis School of Art.

Miscellaneous:

The Making of Star Trek

by Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry

[This book has a signature on the photo of Walter Koenig (Chekov). I bought it on eBay. It was sold as a book with the signature of Walter Koenig. I have no idea if the signature is real. I got it for my husband and then learned he wasn't that interested in it.]

1940 Bluejackets’ Manual

tenth edition

United States Naval Institute

Annapolis, Maryland

[Written on inside front cover, “From Dec. 5, 1942-Jan. Norman Davis Co. # 1 Batt. #1 Plat # 3 USCG Ma(n)hatten Beach Training Station Brooklyn New York”. It would be nice to repatriate this to the family or to the “rightful owner”.

(We do have other Bluejackets' Manuals and other, "old," U.S. Navy ephemera. I don't know if they will ever be listed here. Maybe some day down the road I will have to part with them. If you want to know more about the other things, just ask. http://www.whatdubhghalldoes.org/feedback.htm)]

New Catechism of Electricity

A Practical Treatise

by N. Hawkins, M.E.

Theo. Audel and Co. New York

[Very old book for training electricians. I have been told that this book teaches one to wire a house like the inside of a toaster. “No wonder the old houses caught fire”. This book really needs to find a good home. The cover is leather (suede?) and it is getting dried out. I do not have proper facilities to care for such a book.]

I.P. Eckermann

Gesprache Mit Goethe

February 1911

[Book printed in the German "fracture". I don't know if it is quotes of Goethe, or if it is text, "about," Goethe. I have difficulty with the fracture. I have German/English dictionaries, but it takes longer to decipher text written in the fracture. Some sun fading to cover.]

I will probably be contacting, "you," first to let you know about this site. (In other words, you should have my E-mail address already.) But if you run across this site on your own some how, and you want to contact me, there is contact information at the top of the page. If you can't reach me that way, then go to: http://www.whatdubhghalldoes.org/feedback.htm. That is the feedback form on our main website. You can follow the directions on the page in order to contact us. (Which is pretty much the same as above, now that I think about it. Had to disable the form because of excessive spam.)
