The British plan to settle Australia was a high-risk venture. We now take it for granted that the first colony was the basis of one of the most successful nations in the world today.

The motley crew of unruly marines and bedraggled convicts who arrived at Botany Bay in 1788 in leaky boats nearly starved to death. They could easily...

This remarkable book is a compilation of over 45 years (since 1968) of secrets and techniques I have developed for covering antique (and new) bottles with fine macrame/sailor's knots. Sailors used to cover their rum bottles with macrame/sailor's knots so that if accidentally dropped on a ship's deck the bottle was less likely to break.

A PAGE-TURNING TRUE-LIFE THRILLER!
This book provides a bird's-eye view of an incredible journey. The supernatural and extraordinary events and the settings in which they are described may be scarcely believable.
