From the choice of publisher, Genesis Pub (founded in 1974 by Brian Roylance, specializing in fine binding and printing), to the layout paste-up (by Taylor assisted by Brian Roylance creator of many of the beautiful engraving-type illustrations) ‘Fifty Years Adrift’ is clearly a labor of love.\u003cbr\u003eTaylor was one of the few insiders trusted by all four Beatles, a key participant in the historic 1967 Monterey Pop Festival’s production team and good friend to music genius Brian Wilson. His position as publicist and friend for the Beatles placed him at the center of some of music’s most revolutionary events. But it is his enthusiasm for the subject, his witty and detailed recollections and beautifully articulated writing that makes this book not simply lovely to behold but so much fun to read. A must have for any Beatles fan.","brand":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":4134006020,"sku":"","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0649\/products\/T2eC16N_zcE9s4g0-EQBQkbcyo_8_60_57.JPG?v=1439148996"},{"product_id":"calculated-risk-by-general-mark-w-clark-inscribed-by-clark","title":"Calculated Risk by General Mark W.

As a schoolboy, London would study at the bar's tables that remain today. At 17, he confessed to Johnny Heinold during his stay at the pub that he was planning to attend University and pursue a career in writing. Heinold lent London the money needed for tuition, and he enrolled at the nearby University of California, Berkeley.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMany of London's evenings were spent at Heinold's pub, gathering ideas for his later works. In his autobiographical novel, John Barleycorn, London mentioned the pub's likeness seventeen times. The pub was the place where London met Alexander McLean, a captain known for his cruelty at sea,[3] on whom the protagonist in London's novel The Sea-Wolf, Wolf Larsen, is based.[4]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Heinold ran the bar until 1939 when his son, George, took over. George ran the bar until 1969 and then his wife, Margaret, stepped in to run the establishment, continuing the tradition until 1984 when Carol Brookman became the proprietor.[5]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeinold's is the last commercial establishment in California with its original gas lighting. The tables, which reportedly came from a whaling ship, and other furnishings date back to the days when Johnny Heinold ran the pub. The walls and ceilings are covered with business cards, hats of past patrons and money, often signed by sailors about to deploy so they would have money for a drink waiting for them upon their return.[2]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bar still holds the original potbellied stove used to warm the room, their only source of heat since 1889. Bob Fitzsimmon's boxing gloves, Jim Jeffries' boxing gloves, and John Heinold's hat remain where they were hung; the original bar glassware and mahogany bar are still in use today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most notable characteristics of the pub is the very slanted floor. The uneven ground formed in 1906 during the great San Francisco earthquake when a portion of the piles the pub is built on in swampy ground sank.

After more than four centuries the Sistine frescoes had become difficult to understand, covered by a thick sooty patina due to various factors, and the restoration led to a real rediscovery. There were many criticisms, above all from those who had learned and interpreted Michelangelo's frescoes as if they had been a direct expression of the artist's shady and pessimistic character. Instead, exceptional colors were hidden under that veil, a brilliant style, lights and shadows interpreted with a revolutionary technique. There was a cry of scandal, of destruction, but Colalucci, who lived for years a few centimeters from the Master's work, explains to us the attention and respect with which he worked on the frescoes, never forcing his hand but always trying to restore the truth. The book is very interesting for how the progressive rediscovery of Michelangelo is told, for the description of the restoration techniques, for how the whole world that revolved around this epochal enterprise is told. Colalucci is a simple man and tells us how on a couple of occasions he went into crisis in the face of the enormous responsibility he was taking on, such as when he came to work on the hands of Adam and God on the vault or on the face of Christ at the Last Judgment. The book is not a scientific treatise but it is a popular work.\" - a Gogle translation from an Italian review from Goodreads.","brand":"formerly Shakespeare and Company Books, now VIcarious Experience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40589226377325,"sku":"","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0649\/products\/20230325_183932.jpg?v=1679795422"},{"product_id":"a-dream-begun-so-long-ago-the-story-of-david-johnson-inscribed-by-both-authors","title":"A Dream Begun So Long Ago: The Story of David Johnson. inscribed by both authors","description":"A Dream Begun So Long Ago: The Story of David Johnson, Ansel Adams' First African American Student by David Johnson and Jacqueline Annette Sue.
