The discovery of Noah's Ark is one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century, solving a mystery that has puzzled scientists for many centuries. The story of the clues which led to its detection - not on Mount Ararat, as had been thought, but on Mount Mahser Dagi (the Doomsday Mountain) some 17 miles to the south - is astonishing, and the material uncovered reveals much about life in the Middle East thousands of years BC. David Fasold headed one of the last teams to be allowed excavation rights in Turkey, and he dedicated years of his life and considerable sums of his own money to searching for the Ark. This book recounts the story of his quest and the eventual realization that he had succeeded when the dimensions of his find matched up exactly to those given in the Book of Genesis. Drilling samples subsequently revealed that the boat had not been made of wood, as was commonly supposed, but of reed and a kind of cement. Fasold's site has now been sealed off and officially declared the landing place of Noah's Ark by the Turkish Government. Nice and clean internally and externally.

[003309] George Lazenby. George Lazenby Official SIGNED Autograph. As New JAMES BOND in On Her Majestys Secret Service. A native of Goulburn, Australia, George landed the most prized role in filmdom in 1968 when he was cast as James Bond 007. When Sean Connery hung up his Walther PPK after You Only Live Twice, the canny Australian secured himself a meeting with the film’s producers. Urged on by his agent Maggie Smith who believed his arrogance would surely win him the role, the producers were said indeed to admire his charm and his cheek. George bought a suit that had been made for Sean Connery, and wore it with a Rolex watch. He also drove an Aston Martin. During an audition, a fight sequence was arranged George was so eager and enthusiastic that he broke a stuntman’s nose! He beat 413 other contenders for the role, during 4 months of auditions, to become 007. His film, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, is hailed by fans as being the best in the series. However, changing attitudes in the late 1960s (when Easy Rider was the type of film topping the box office and the hippie culture was permeating society) and bad advice from his ‘publicist’ Roland O’Reilly, saw George quit the role. He believed Bond to be Sean Connery’s gig, and the character’s cinematic adventures over. George has since admitted to regretting his decision and listening to the advice that was offered. He turned down Diamonds Are Forever and the seven-film contract offered by Eon. There was a rumour that producer Kevin McClory was considering casting George in Never Say Never Again, but then Sean Connery agreed to return.

This is a study of Hitler's inner circle of commanders which aims to show how strategic decisions were carried through the ranks to the battlefield in World War II. It examines top-level characters - Kesselring, Manstein, Model, Student and Rommel, and also those of middle rank, who, often under duress, saw that instructions were carried out. Studying sixteen diverse characters, each with different responsibilities, the book provides an informative account of command, soldiering, military structure and dictatorial control.

John Major's autobiography is one of the most personal and revealing ever written by a former British Prime Minister. The account of his childhood, rise and fall is scrupulous and unsparing. Major's early life was extraordinary; his rise through Parliament meteoric. Soon a favourite of Margaret Thatcher, he became Foreign Secretary and then Chancellor of the Exchequer. When Thatcher fell, he fought and won a crude campaign to succeed her. He went on to win a remarkable victory in the general election of 1992. In his leadership of his party and country and in facing up to the new order after May 1997 John Major acted with a dignity rare in politics. Only opened to photograph. Mint unread condition.

[003301] Maud Adams. Maud Adams Official SIGNED Autograph. As New ANDREA in The Man With The Golden Gun & Octopussy in Octopussy. Maud was born as Maud Solveig Christina Wikstrom just below the Arctic Circle in Lulea, Sweden. Starting her career as a model, she turned to acting in 1970 with The Boys In The Band in which appropriately she played a model! A few years later, she was cast as Andrea Anders in The Man With The Golden Gun, the first of her Bond films. Her character was both vulnerable and a victim at the hands of Francisco Scaramanga (aka the titular villain, played by Christopher Lee). Further features followed, such as Rollerball (the 1975 original), The Hostage Tower, Playing For Time and episodic tv such as Kojak, Emerald Point NAS, Hotel and Mission: Impossible before producer Cubby Broccoli offered her the title role in the 1983 Bond film Octopussy. Whilst a couple of other actresses had made a second appearance in a James Bond film (aside from regular Miss Moneypenny) it was quite something for a supporting actress in one film to return as one of the leads in a future 007 adventure. Both director John Glen, and Bond actor Roger Moore, were unanimous in their praise for the casting decision in Octopussy.
