Gillcrist, Paul T.

Feet Wet: Reflections of a Carrier Pilot

VGC. Precidio Press, 1990. First edition. Blue hardback(silver lettering to the spine, two small scratches on the cover) in VGC, no Dj. Illustrated with b/w photos, drawings. Nice and clean pages with large crease on the last blank page of the book, small pencil mark impression on the edge of the first blank page of the book. The book is in VGC with light shelf wear. No Dj cover. 348pp including list of illustrations, glossary. A collectable first edition. From Library Journal: Admiral Gillcrist's 33-year career parallels the development of postwar naval aviation and its revolutionary use of jets aboard aircraft carriers. His memoirs are filled with flying stories (his own adventures and those of his shipmates) of hairsbreath escapes and occasional tragedies, all proving something we already knew; this is dangerous work. There is also history on postwar carrier developments in general, and on how naval aviation adapted to the challenge of the Vietnam War. While some subject background would aid the reader in understanding this capably and enthusiastically written history, it is still a remarkable window into the high-pressure world of the carrier pilot. For those closer to the field, the account rings with absolute authenticity. Very Good/No Jacket. ISBN: 9780891413660

Price un-clipped. Product Description: The minutes and hours following 11th September terror attacks on the World Trade Center posed the greatest challenge to governance in New York City's history. Mayor Rudoph Guiliani had barely escaped with his life in the collapse of the first tower. Fires burned furiously near the site as the other buildings verged on collapse. Air Force fighter jets criss-crossed the sky to ward off other attacks. And yet in those moments after the calamity, and in the following days and months, Mayor Guiliani not only steered the city through the crisis, but did so with an assurance and authority that was hailed around the world as a model of courageous leadership. In this book, Guiliani describes vividly the chaos and horror of the twin-towers catastrophe, and explains how the rules of management he enforced as Mayor enabled him to gain control of the emergency. These are also the rules, Guiliani makes clear, that anyone in a leadership position - from the head of a large corporation to the owner of a corner shop - can use to inspire others and achieve concrete results.

Kylie: Naked

VGC. Ebury Press, 2002. First UK edition-first printing(1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2). Hardback(two small nicks and scratch on the cover) with Dj(a couple of creases, nicks and scratch on the edges of the Dj cover), both in VGC. Illustrated with colour photos. Nice and clean pages with a small ink mark and slightly tainted on the outer edges, light shelf wear on the edges of the pages. The book is in VGC with light shelf wear on the Dj cover. 242pp including Discography, filmography and sources. Price un-clipped. Review: The authors of Kylie Naked assure us in their introduction that there wasn't time to obtain Kylie's co-operation with this exploration of her life and career; a bit unfortunate since her involvement may have resulted in something more than the bog-standard showbiz biography that we have ended up with. Kylie's career from TV soap queen as the lovable Charlene in Neighbours to international pop star is covered in a rather routine fashion and features none of the surprises which are surely half the point of celebrity books like this. The trouble is that there is no controversy in Kylie's life that we don't already know about and that which we do is dredged up again as old news and dressed in rather unnecessary rumour and speculation (do we really need to know that Michael Hutchence may have allegedly been in the middle of a bizarre sexual act when he died?) To their credit, the authors don't try and shatter her girl-next-door image and her career is covered in almost bang up-to-date detail, including an extra chapter to take account of her recent success with Can't Get You Out of My Head and her fantastic performance at the 2002 Brits Awards. Hopefully the Princess of Pop will find time one day to pen her autobiography, but until then Kylie: Naked is as thorough and an enjoyable account of her life as you could possibly want.
