Other Side Of Airfix
£12.79
Airfix is synonymous with plastic model kits. The brand name has virtually become a noun occupying a special place in that lexicon of trade names alongside Hoover Sellotape Perspex & Aqua-Lung. Throughout the war years Airfix survived on government contracts for a whole range of plastic items & by virtue of Kove's tenancious apetitie for business & doing a deal. By the war's end Airfix was the market leader in plastic injection moulded combs in Britain. By the time Airfix had released its first proper construction kit a tiny model of Drake's flagship Golden Hind in 1952 the firm was well established as a leading toy br&. Indeed throughout the 1950s 60s & 70s Airfix invested heavily in developing new toys or manufacturing them under license for large US toy companies such as Hasbro. Very soon Airfix extended its activities beyond toys into games & arts & crafts & in short time famous names. Indeed so successful was Airfix at diversifying that by the 1970s the company had grown to such an extent that it had acquired other famous toy brands including Dinky Toys Tri-ang Meccano & Romper Room. With its subsidiary Crayonne Airfix even harnessed the design talents of the then Terence Conranne in attempt to elevate plastic products to the rarified atmosphere of designer chic. So there's a lot more to Airfix than many might think & this book is the first attempt to document the myriad successful lines outside of plastic kits which contributed to the company's dramatic growth before a combination of factors forced it into brief liquidation in 1981. Written by someone with a lifetime's fascination for Airfix & who has written other books about the better known construction kit side of the business The Other Airfix is a nostalgic trip down memory lane. ...

Other Tudors
£6.89
Everybody thinks they know the tale of King Henry VIIIs wives: divorced beheaded died; divorced beheaded survived. But behind this familiar story lies a far more complex truth. This book brings together for the first time the other women of King Henry VIII. When he first came to the throne Henry VIIIs mistresses were dalliances the playthings of a powerful & handsome man. However when Anne Boleyn disrupted that pattern ousting Katherine of Aragon to become Henrys wife a new status quo was established. Suddenly noble families fought to entangle the king with their sisters & daughters; if wives were to be beheaded or divorced so easily the mistress of the king was in an enviable position. While Henry VIII has frequently been portrayed as a womanizer author Philippa Jones reveals a new side to his character. Although he was never faithful Jones sees him as a serial monogamist: he spent his life in search of a perfect woman a search that continued even as he lay dying when he was considering divorcing Catherine Parr thus leaving him free to marry Katherine d Eresby. Yet he loved each of his wives & mistresses he was a romantic who loved being in love but none of these loves ever fully satisfied him; all were ultimately replaced. The Other Tudors" examines the extraordinary untold tales of the women who Henry loved but never married the mistresses who became queens & of his many children both acknowledged & unacknowledged. Philippa Jones takes us deep into the web of secrets & deception at the Tudor Court & explores another often unmentioned side to the Kings character." ...
