Vintage First Edition 1979 The Usborne Book of the Future – A Trip in Time to the Year 2000 and Beyond – Hardback – 0000508

Price: £69.99

The future is here! If you grew up in the 1970’s and 1980’s then you will remember this book!  “The Usborne Book of the Future – A trip in time to the year 2000 and beyond”.  This seriously cool educational and speculative look at the future from the perspective of the late 1970’s, was written around the time of the original Star Wars and you can clearly see the influence of the science of the day on the movies and TV Shows.  Remember Space 1999?

This book is packed with amazing colour hand-drawn illustrations and brilliant science fact and many aspects of which would be seen now as science fiction.  We have come along way but I don’t see the robotic butlers or space trips to the moon as being “an everyday affair”.  We are close though,

This is a rare book, and even rarer in this condition.  Externally, this book is in very good condition for a used book over 30 years old – there is some bumping to the corners and very minor discolouration marks to the cover.  Internally, the condition is also excellent with bright and clean pages.  The spine has come loose but all the pages are attached and intact.  Please see the photos.

There are some great facts and illustrations including a fabulous insight to the 2020 Olympic Games with the 14 meter Lunar High Jump as an event!

A great book of science fiction, science fact, nostalgia and great images!

  • Rare Art Deco Early 1930′s Hand-Painted “Bizarre by Clarice Cliff” Floral Relief Biscuit Barrel – Newport Pottery England – 0000475

    Rare Art Deco Early 1930′s Hand-Painted “Bizarre by Clarice Cliff” Floral Relief Biscuit Barrel – Newport Pottery England – 0000475

    This lovely and quite rare (I have been unable to find another one like it) biscuit barrel is part of the highly sought-after hand-painted “Bizarre” range by Clarice Cliff.

    Made in the early 1930′s and with its vibrantly coloured and gorgeously hand-painted and moulded floral handle-ends, this fabulous biscuit barrel is typical of its period.

    This very collectable biscuit barrel is in overall good condition for its age with bright colours, minimal crazing and no restoration work.

    There is however some damage, with a chip to the rim and two hairlines (one small and the other runs from the rim down). The lid and handle are missing (which is not uncommon and quite possibly replaceable) and there is some minor paint-loss here and there – Please see photos.

    Clearly marked underneath with “Hand-Painted Bizarre by Clarice Cliff”, “Newport Pottery England” backstamps, this biscuit barrel measures approximately 10.5cm high by 16cm handle tip to handle tip. This would make a great piece for display but not for daily use.

    A rare piece of “Bizarre” that would be a great addition to any rare or Art Deco Clarice Cliff collection.
