Book Synopsis Postcards from Exeter by : Carol Walker Aten
Download or read book Postcards from Exeter written by Carol Walker Aten and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1904, Frank W. Swallow left behind his short-lived car dealership and began a successful cottage industry, printing his own hand-colored postcards. He was "the First to Introduce the Souvenir Post Card to One-Half of New England," according to the imprint of his trademark swallow. Many of Swallow's photographs are contained within this book, which tells a special history of Exeter, New Hampshire, between 1900 and 1940-a time when the horse and carriage era shifted to the automobile, hemlines rose a few inches, and electricity came to town. Learn about a mysteriously lost statue, hidden waterways, great buildings that burned, forgotten parades, and the famous "Swallow Girls." Most images, never before seen, are from the Exeter Historical Society's collection, and proceeds from the sales of this publication support the society in honor of its seventy-fifth anniversary.

Download or read book Postcards from Penguin written by Penguin and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of 100 postcards, each featuring a different and iconic Penguin book jacket. From classics to crime, here are over seventy years of quintessentially British design in one box. In 1935 Allen Lane stood on a platform at Exeter railway station, looking for a good book for the journey to London. His disappointment at the poor range of paperbacks on offer led him to found Penguin Books. The quality paperback had arrived. Declaring that 'good design is no more expensive than bad', Lane was adamant that his Penguin paperbacks should cost no more than a packet of cigarettes, but that they should always look distinctive. Ever since then, from their original - now world-famous - look featuring three bold horizontal stripes, through many different stylish, inventive and iconic cover designs, Penguin's paperback jackets have been a constantly evolving part of Britain's culture. And whether they're for classics, crime, reference or prize-winning novels, they still follow Allen Lane's original design mantra. Sometimes, you definitely should judge a book by its cover.

Download or read book Kind Regards written by Liz Williams and published by Michael O'Mara Books. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the signs show that the worthy art of letter writing is in decline. One third of 16-year-olds have never written a letter, and in the next ten years it is predicted that first-class mail will drop by 37%. Emails and texts have overtaken the humble pen and paper as the most popular method of communication. In Kind Regards, Liz Williams explores the popular history of letter writing and how it has shaped the world today - from the early Greek philosophers, to the great letter writers Byron and Walpole and famous letters that changed the world. It also covers the invention of the fountain pen and the growth of the mail delivery system. This is the fascinating story of how a simple piece of paper revolutionized global communication and how, despite the ever-growing influence of technology, handwritten letters are regaining their value, meaning and popularity
