Own a piece of aviation history.","description":"Own a piece of history.  This is a briefing book used by Boeing to brief on the  Boeing 733 Supersonic Transport (SST) This  was a conceptual aircraft design proposed by Boeing in the 1960s as the United States' answer to supersonic airliners like the Concorde (from Britain and France) and the Tupolev Tu-144 (from the Soviet Union). It was part of a larger U.S. government initiative to develop a commercial supersonic transport through funding and competition.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nKey Facts:\u003cbr\u003e\nDesignation: Boeing 2707 or Boeing 733 SST (sometimes both terms are used; \"733\" refers to a specific design iteration)\u003cbr\u003e\nEra: 1960s-early 1970s\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGoal: To create a supersonic passenger aircraft capable of flying faster and carrying more passengers than Concorde\u003cbr\u003e\nTop Speed (Planned): Mach 2.7 (about 1,800 mph or 2,900 km\/h)\u003cbr\u003e\nRange (Planned): Around 4,000-5,000 miles\u003cbr\u003e\nPassenger Capacity (Planned): Initially designed to carry around 250-300 passengers, much larger than Concorde's ~100\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures:  Swing-wing (variable geometry) design was initially proposed to allow better performance at both subsonic and supersonic speeds. Later models switched to a fixed delta wing due to engineering challenges. Sleek, futuristic design that captured public imagination\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat Happened: Boeing won the U.S. SST competition against Lockheed in 1966.\u003cbr\u003e\nDespite early enthusiasm, the program faced increasing technical challenges, environmental concerns (especially sonic booms and ozone depletion), and cost overruns.\u003cbr\u003e\nPublic opposition and Congress's reluctance to fund it led to the program's cancellation in 1971 before any prototype ever flew. Only a mockup and some test structures were built.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLegacy: The Boeing SST remains a symbol of ambitious 20th-century aviation dreams.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Concorde went on to become the only successful commercial SST (along with the short-lived Tu-144). Boeing pivoted to developing more efficient subsonic wide-body jets like the 747, which became a massive commercial success.\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"Blue Mountain Collectibles, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42204893577252,"sku":"BK10232","price":462.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/0867\/8948\/files\/il_fullxfull.6800329165_513k.jpg?v=1747254143"},{"product_id":"tess-of-the-durbervilles-by-thomas-handy-harpers-modern-classics-hardcover-1935","title":"Tess of The Durbervilles by Thomas Handy (Harper's Modern Classics) Hardcover – 1935.","description":"Vintage Book.

Tess drives to market in her father's place, but falls asleep at the reins; the wagon crashes and the family's only horse is killed.

A Limited Edition.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by British writer Arthur Conan Doyle, first published on 14 October 1892. It contains the earliest short stories featuring the consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, which had been published in twelve monthly issues of The Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. The stories are collected in the same sequence, which is not supported by any fictional chronology. The only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson and all are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn general the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, \"A Scandal in Bohemia\", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favorite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking \"The Adventure of the Speckled Band\" as his overall favorites.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPhotographs are of actual item.

Bound In full leather with hubbed spines. A Limited Edition. ; First Easton Press Edition. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism by his mentor, Professor Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow and painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes Candide with, if not rejecting Leibnizian optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, \"we must cultivate our garden\", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, \"all is for the best\" in the \"best of all possible worlds\".\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCandide is characterized by its tone as well as by its erratic, fantastical, and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel with a story similar to that of a more serious coming-of-age narrative, it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is bitter and matter-of-fact. Still, the events discussed are often based on historical happenings, such as the Seven Years' War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. As philosophers of Voltaire's day contended with the problem of evil, so does Candide in this short theological novel, albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers. Through Candide, he assaults Leibniz and his optimism.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCandide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication, the book was widely banned because it contained religious blasphemy, political sedition, and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naivety. However, with its sharp wit and insightful portrayal of the human condition, the novel has since inspired many later authors and artists to mimic and adapt it. Today, Candide is considered Voltaire's magnum opus and is often listed as part of the Western canon. It is among the most frequently taught works of French literature. The British poet and literary critic Martin Seymour-Smith listed Candide as one of the 100 most influential books ever written.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPhotographs are of actual item.
