Descripci�n

Headline Book Publishing, London, UK. 1995. Softcover/Mass Market Paperback. 3rd Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; scant edgewear. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 436 pp 12mo. From the gruesomely familiar to the grisly and bizarre, this unique encyclopedia provides the most comprehensive history ever published of the "art" of execution -- the ultimate penalty. Details the many ingenious and seemingly incomprehensible means used through history, including the more familiar guillotine, stoning, and crucifixion, such less-known acts as sewing a victim into the belly of a dead animal, and such "modern" methods as lethal injection and the electric chair. Black-and-white illustrations. A clean very presentable copy.
