Some fragments of the film exist but the complete version has been lost. Alfred Neumann (15 October 1895 – 3 October 1952) was a German writer of novels, stories, poems, plays, and films, as well as a translator into German. Neumann was born in Lautenburg, Germany (now Poland). He was a recipient of the Kleist Prize in 1926 and his writings were banned during the Third Reich. His novel Der Patriot was turned into a play and filmed in 1928, directed by Ernst Lubitsch. He was working in Italy when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933.

The Theory of Self-Reproducing Automata (first printing in rare near-fine DJ) von Neumann, John [Very Good] [Hardcover] The Theory of Self-Reproducing Automata (first printing in rare near-fine DJ) von Neumann, John [Very Good] [Hardcover] 3535.18 CAD Univ. of Illinois Press, Urbana, IL. 1966. 388 pages. First edition, first printing. This title illustrates von Neumann's mathematical analysis of the structure of self-replication, which preceded the discovery of the structure of DNA by some twenty years. His creation of the field of cellular automata as a simplified mathematical model of biological systems began in the 1940's. Within these lectures, von Neumann proposed a kinematic self-reproducing automaton and by 1952, he designed an elaborate 2D cellular automaton that would automatically make a copy of its initial configuration of cells. Further, the Von Neumann universal constructor based on the von Neumann cellular automaton is presented while the von Neumann neighborhood, in which each cell in a two-dimensional grid has the four orthogonally adjacent grid cells as neighbors, continues to be used for other cellular automata. As for this specific first printing, it is housed in its original rare DJ. $10.00 price intact on flap, as well as 75s.net. The idea behind the two prices in two different currencies on the DJ flap is so whichever market the book was distributed to, the distributor was to clip the non-applicable price from the flap, leaving only one price. The mere fact that both prices are still present makes this already uncommon DJ that much more rare. Dj shows minimal handling and is in near-fine condition as exterior flaws are limited to shelf-rubbing on one flap fold corner. As for the book, it is bright, tight and clean. Binding and hinges are strong and sound. Olive green cloth is bright and clean, stamped in black titles. Four sharp corners. Book's flaws are limited to faint light foxing along page edges, and Princeton, Summer 1967 written neatly on upper corner of front pastedown, underneath DJ flap. Previous owner's name, or professor's name, is neatly written on rear endpaper corner, along with the words: From Princeton U. Store. Front endpaper has a couple of neatly written, legible, small points of reference, from previous owner. Text has a handful of brackets, or exclamation points in margin. A couple of passages have a neatly written sentence next to it; or a thin, straight underline. All flaws noted. von Neumann, widely hailed as the greatest intellect of modern times, died of cancer, which is believed to be a result of radiation exposure while working on the Manhattan Project. First edition, first printing of von Neumann's classic and elusive title, housed in a rare, near fine DJ.

Hardback in dustwrapper. 19 × 12.5cm, 390pp. Signed to the title page James Barlow. Reg Mills, paratrooper, hero, struggles to adjust to civilian life after the Second World War. When a chance altercation lands him in prison, he meets fellow veteran Tony Tobias. Facing the brutal realities of life on the inside, the pair is forced to re-evaluate their place in a world that no longer has need of them. As Reg and Tony discuss their fortunes they come to the conclusion that the greed and materialism of postwar culture is responsible for their downfall. With cold military precision, they start to plan a revenge attack on the society they once fought to protect - a train robbery they feel will redress the balance and repay what is owed to them. The heist happens and is following by a thrilling manhunt. Condition: The book is in good solid condition, with some spotted foxing to the pages top edges, and to a lesser extent to the fore-edge. Previous owner's bookplate to the copyright page. The dustwrapper is very clean and now within a protective sleeve. The only fault is the wrapper is a shade to short for the book but really only by about 1mm!

Walker Stringer is a sweeping historical novel that bridges the glory of the French monarchy with the rugged promise of colonial Canada. The narrative alternates between the opulent court of Louis XIV in Versailles—where youthful ambitions, courtly intrigue, and the glories of the Sun King play out—and the fledgling settlements along the St. Lawrence River, where settlers and missionaries carve out new lives amid wilderness. Blending meticulous period detail with vibrant characters and heartfelt drama, The King and the Cross offers both a page-turning adventure and a thoughtful meditation on power, faith, and the forging of a new society.
