UK,8vo wraps,paperback,limited,1st edn.NFINE.No owner inscrptn. Appears an unread copy as there are no reading creases to spine/ backstrip.Assumed production fault - laminate wrinkle/crease/tear(?) to bottom third of spine/backstrip (see also rja2008 - it has identical fault in same spot:same angle,length etc.,).Colour photographic upper wrap with minimal shelf-wear and negligible creasing to edges of wraps,though there is a slight dog-ear crease to rear,top corner and minisculely rubbed to foot of spine/backstrip with minimal loss.Top+fore-edges slightly aged; contents bright,tight and clean.UK,8vo p/back,limited 1st edn,vii-xpp+7-133pp includes title page,TARANTINO intro/interview,2 b/w portrait photographic frontispieces of Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette,a cast list,script and publisher's advert to rear. The first screenplay Tarantino ever wrote.In many ways his most personal film to date,reflecting as it does the days he spent working behind the counter at Video Archives in Manhattan Beach,California. True Romance's hero,Clarence,played by Christian Slater in the film, works in a comic book shop and absconds with a suitcase full of drugs, and his girlfriend Alabama,pursued cross-country from Detroit to LA by a bunch of mobsters out to retrieve their stolen goods. Containing all the Tarantino trademarks like bravura conversational cross-fire and audacious narrative structure,'True Romance' resonates throughout with intimations of what was to come (Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction) and clearly demonstrates why Tarantino is one of the most dynamic voices working in cinema today.A limited,promotional,1st edn p/back,published by Premiere magazine (a UK magazine - only available overseas by subscription) in association with Faber.An uncommon,collectable Tarantino piece of ephemera.See also rja2006, rja2007 and rja2009.

On 26 November 1703,during the worst storm ever recorded in Britain,Henry Winstanley died in his lighthouse when it was blown away.Inland,the howling wind lifted men and animals off their, ripped lead roofs like tissue paper off churches, and completely flattened 800 houses.Henry Winsanley had been an ingenious man.An engraver and Clerk of Works at Audley End in Essex,he built himself a house full of gadgets and practical jokes,and charged visitors a shilling admission.In 1695,following the loss oftwo of his ships on the Eddystone Reef,14 miles soutn of Plymouth,he determined that no more vessels should founder there,and volunteered to build a lighthouse.No one had everbuilt a lighthouse on a rock in the open sea,and many said it could not be done.Continually thwarted by weather and politics,he struggled for three years before he was able tolight the first candles in the strange building on the reef.His lighthouse survived for five years, its flickering candlelight warning sailors away from the treacherous rocks.In the Great Storm,however,Winstanley's lighthouse was smashed to pieces.In this book,Adam Hart-Davis and Emily Troscianko tell thestory of the world's first offshore lighthouse,the character of the man who with grim determination built it against all odds,and the power of the elements that finallydestroyed them both. Adam Hart-Davis is a writer,broadcaster and photographer,best known for presenting 'Tomorrow's World','What the Victorians Did for Us','What the Romans Did for Us',and eight series of 'Local Heroes'.He has also written fifteen books,including 'The Local Heroes Book of British Ingenuity' and 'More Local Heroes' with Paul Bader. For Emily Troscianko,Hart-Davis's wife's daughter,this is her first book.
