THE WARS OF NAPOLEON-West Point Military History Series-Britt III-SUPERB 1st HC!

Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB and virtually FLAWLESS condition book which is OUT OF PRINT and a comprehensive history of the Napoleonic Wars published as part of "The West Point Military History Series" and written by ALBERT SIDNEY BRITT III--the book is collectible FIRST EDITION and FIRST PRINTING and a HARDCOVER (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A PAPERBACK AS THE PRE-FILLED INFORMATION INCORRECTLY INDICATES) with no dustjacket as issued. This book is in SUPERB and virtually PERFECT condition and has very slight dings on the spine tips, a very slight ding on the lower right edges of the covers and just slight shelfwear otherwise but NO other significant flaws! The book is titled The Wars of Napoleon: The West Point Military History Series and it was written by ALBERT SIDNEY BRITT III; it was published by Avery Publishing Group, Inc. in 1985 and is a 1st EDITION and 1st PRINTING with a publication line reading 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.From the groundbreaking "Piano Man" to "Just the Way You Are" to "Allentown" to "Uptown Girl" and dozens of other chart toppers, Billy Joel’s music has provided the soundtrack to millions of lives. His songs are etched in our memories, and his live shows are breaking sales records everywhere. His albums have sold more than 100 million copies, his singles have sold millions more, and 33 Joel songs have appeared on Billboard’s Top 40 charts since 1974--he is, in his own estimation, "Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, Jolson, Elvis, and Chuck Berry all rolled into one...[the} greatest goddamned singer, songwriter, musician and entertainer who ever lived." Here at last is the definitive biography of the brilliant and volatile artist Billy Joel. Interviews with Irwin Mazur, Joel’s first manager, Artie Ripp, Joel’s first producer, plus many others from every part of the musician’s life offer revealing glimpses of a man known for his outsize personal struggles, his phenomenal gifts, and a wicked sense of humor that compelled him to smash a banana cream pie in former wife's Christie Brinkley's face "almost once a week" for the entirety of their zany, prank-filled and cocaine-fueled marriage. With dramatic new information on Joel’s legal battles and his substance abuse--including "doing a mountain of cocaine the size of the goddamned Flatiron Building...[that] kept me rocking my balls off and smashing music chart records like a Greek god for twenty-five years"--plus his live concerts and Broadway show Movin’ Out, Billy Joel: The Life and Times of an Angry Young Man is an exciting, almost erotic look at one of the great musical geniuses of our times.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
