Inscription: Signed, inscribed or annotated
First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 380 pages. Rare Peter Duchin and Clara Gatzert Spiegel collectible item. A fine copy of the author's memoir, signed and inscribed by Peter Duchin accompanied by a full-page letter. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Peter Duchin's "Ghost of A Chance". Musical in the best sense of the word. "A strange and compelling mix of celebrity biography and social history. The son of the most famous bandleader, Eddy Duchin, Peter Duchin was sent off to be raised by the friends of his socialite mother after her death. Those friends just happened to be the Harrimans, Averell and Marie. After watching 'The Eddy Duchin Story', the Hollywood film version of his biological father's life, the younger Duchin recalls feeling 'pretty beat up and confused'. The same can be said of his life in general, but that's what happens when your paternal legacy includes one father who ranked among the top entertainers of the era and another who happened to be one of the richest and most important world figures of the century" (Publishers Weekly). Seemingly dwarfed by two towering father-figures, Peter Duchin somehow found his place through two rare blessings: His good looks and his musical talent. He is considered one of the most Hollywood-handsome Americans as well as one of the finest band musicians ever, performing at Truman Capote's Black And White Ball and literally thousands of other social events, including Command Performances at the White House. An absolute "must-have" title for Peter Duchin collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, dated (in the year of publication), and inscribed in black pen on the half-title page by the author: "To my dearest friend, With so much love to you Clara, Peter 8/6/96". It comes with an Autographed Letter Signed (ALS). Please review scan for full text of the Letter. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and inscribed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: The recipient, Clara Gatzert Spiegel (1904-1997), was the quintessential American cosmopolitan/socialite, a cross between Brooke Astor and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The wife of the Chicago-based magnate Frederick W. Spiegel, she was wealthy and well-connected, a bona-fide member of the American elite at the peak of its influence and power. She was an accomplished novelist, short story writer, and patron of the arts. Like her close friend Ernest Hemingway, her passion, aside from writing, was the great outdoors, whether skiing in Sun Valley, big-game hunting in Africa, and trout fishing near her Idaho estate. A rare signed copy thus. Two of the iconic American figures of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. . ISBN 0679414185.

First Edition / First Printing. As New in As New Dust Jacket. 112 pages. Artist Book. The artist/photographer's breakthrough debut collection. Limited Slipcased Edition of 100 numbered and signed copies. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The Limited Edition is now scarce. An elegiacally beautiful production by John Dugdale and Jack Woody: Oversize-volume format. The book weighs 3 pounds. Black cloth boards with titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by John Dugdale. Excerpt from Walt Whitman's greatest poem, "Leaves of Grass". Matching black handmade pictorial slipcase with titles embossed on cover and spine. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with cyanotype reproduction on the cover and purple titles on the spine, as issued. Presents John Dugdale's "Lengthening Shadows Before Nightfall". The artist/photographer's gossamer, mystical, and haunting vision of a gay American individual's life (his own) shadowed at every single precious moment by mortality. John Dugdale utilizes the Cyanotype Process, which results in blue-tinted black-and-white photographs that have earned the artist/photographer a cult following among serious photography collectors. The late great artist/children's book writer and illustrator Maurice Sendak and the great playwright Tony Kushner, both gay, own two of the finest private collections of Dugdale's work. Dugdale has been living with AIDS for many years now and thriving in spite of the fact (he is now almost completely blind), making these images all the more moving. He uses himself as the subject as well as family members, friends, and lovers in many of the photographs. Includes some of the most unusual, most affecting, and most haunting male nudes ever made. "In an interplay of metaphor and time, artist John Dugdale evokes a world of light-filled chambers and sensuous bodies. From the muted blue luster of the archaic Cyanotype Process, his imagery emerges in a mist of loss and remembrance. Dugdale has created an extremely personal and vibrant body of work. Revealed is an artistic vision that weds contemporary consciousness with ageless concerns" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for John Dugdale collectors. This copy is one of the Limited Slipcased Edition of 100 numbered and signed copies, indicated/numbered as such on the Back Limitation Page. It is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen by John Dugdale. In addition, Dugdale drew in his "signature" eyeglasses, and only for this Limited Edition, also applied his thumbprint underneath his signature. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Slipcased Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. 50 Cyanotype Process plates. One of the finest American artist/photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOHN DUGDALE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).

Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents John Dunning's "Two O'Clock, Eastern Wartime". As critics like to say: Unputdownable. "With the verisimilitude that's a hallmark of his writing, Dunning delves into a new topic, the golden days of radio, igniting the reader's excitement about the enormous potential of the medium. Jack Dulaney, a novelist, follows a dead man's trail to the Jersey shore in the early days of World War II, where a radio station owned by a recluse has fallen on hard times. The mysterious Harford, who built the station as a showcase for his late wife's ambition, has all but abandoned WHAR, but the actors, writers, producers, and technicians who once shared the dead woman's dream are galvanized by the appearance of Dulaney, who finds his true metier in the creation of original, politically provocative broadcast dramas. Dulaney's creative process is artfully drawn and the ambience of America in wartime is skillfully portrayed" (Jane Adams). "Radio is the greatest invention of the past four centuries. It ranks right up there with Gutenberg's movable type as an earth-shaking force. One of the first things Gutenberg did with his movable type was print a magnificent Bible. The first thing radio did was argue how much selling would be permitted and how ridiculous it would be allowed to get. If it keeps on the way it's going there won't be anything worth listening to. I have this almost morbid fear of the future. Not that radio's greatest days will fade away, but that its greatest day will never come. Fifty years from now it could just be a medium of hucksters and fools, a whorehouse in the sky" (John Dunning). An absolute "must-have" title for John Dunning collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in metallic-silver pen-marker on the title page by John Dunning. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The signature stands out beautifully against the light. This title is now collectible. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the finest American mystery writers of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 0743201957.

Dyer, Geoff
Otherwise Known As The Human Condition: Selected Essays And Reviews
Imprint: Minneapolis, MN, Graywolf Press, 2011
Edition: First Edition
Inscription: Signed, inscribed or annotated
First Edition / First Printing. Fine in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 425 pages. Retrospective collection of essays. Now considered a contemporary classic. The first appearance of the essays in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only by a small fine press. There is NO Hardcover Edition. The First Edition is now scarce. The essays appeared previously in separate volumes in the United Kingdom, all of which are now scarce as First Editions. Presents Geoff Dyer's "Otherwise Known As The Human Condition: Selected Essays And Reviews". A 425-page compendium-volume of Geoff Dyer's finest and most representative essays. Written over a crucial twenty-year period (1989-2010), they appear in book form in the United States for the very first time. Dyer's large following as a novelist should be enhanced by these elegant and uber-intelligent essays, which are as riveting as his well-known novels. Criticism is also a creative act, not just an intellectual one, for the simple reason that it engages every aspect of one's being (mind, body, feeling, senses, soul). Western culture's fixation with storytelling (the novel in particular) has consigned even the greatest critics to second-tier status as writers and literary artists (third-tier if one considers poetry to be the highest achievement). Geoff Dyer has almost single-handedly kept the art of the essay alive and well in our Age of Academe, which has inflicted what may be the final death-blow to the form. An absolute "must-have" title for Geoff Dyer collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Geoff Dyer. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First American Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: There is NO Hardcover Edition. The book was issued as a softcover original only by a small fine press. Copies available online have serious flaws ("Near Fine", Very Good"). This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the National Book Critics Cricle Award in 2012 for "Otherwise Known As The Human Condition". One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER GEOFF DYER TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1555975798.

Inscription: Signed, inscribed or annotated
First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 216 pages. Retrospective collection of essays on subject. The definitive transcript of Freeman Dyson's epochal Jerusalem/Harvard Lectures. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only by a University Press. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Freeman Dyson's "Imagined Worlds: The Jerusalem Harvard Lectures". His most visionary book, tempered, as always - and as rarely found in other scientists and technocrats, that is powers-that-be on the basis of their superior technical expertise) - by his profound humanism. "Imagine a world where whole epochs will pass, cultures rise and fall between a telephone call and the reply. Think of the human race multiplying 500-million fold or evolving into new, distinct species. Consider the technology of space colonization, computer-assisted reproduction, the Martian potato. Freeman Dyson marshals his genius as a scientist and a storyteller to take us once more to that ever-closer time to come. Freeman Dyson has been helping us see ourselves and our world from a scientist's point-of-view. He brings this perspective to a speculative future to show us where science and technology may be taking us. Whether looking at Gaia Theory or the future of nuclear weapons, science fiction or the dangers of science worship, Dyson is concerned with ethics, with how we might mitigate the evil consequences of technology and enhance the good. At the heart of it all is the belief that progress in science will bring enormous confusion and misery to Mankind unless it is accompanied by progress in ethics" (Publisher's blurb). "With a rare breadth of literary and historical knowledge, and with a wonderful lucidity of style, Dyson converts science from the intellectual property of specialists into a meaningful concern for everyone with a stake in our cultural future" (Bryce Christensen). The preliminary and self-proclaimed corporate philosophy of Google was "Do No Evil". Whether Google technocrats Larry Page and Sergey Brin have remained true or not to their credo (they have not), there is no question that the latter is adopted entirely from Dyson's ethical/humanistic perspective, not from their Stanford science-cum-technology bias. An absolute "must-have" title for Freeman Dyson collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Freeman Dyson. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. He signed on top of the page, making it even more prominent. This title is a great book.

Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus.

Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Freeman Dyson's "Maker of Patterns: An Autobiography Through Letters". Told in epistolary form, his summing-up of an "evolutionary" life and mind while recounting the revolutionary advances in physics - and the sciences in general - at the same time. "Who but Freeman Dyson formulates physics while riding on a Greyhound bus through Iowa's cornfields? In other episodes, Dyson assesses with Godel equations for a rotating version of Einstein's universe, defends Feynman's quantum theorems against Oppenheimer's doubts, and explores with Bohr the prospects for a nuclear spaceship. Draws the substance of his narrative from letters he sent his parents between 1940 and 1980, letters in which he discloses the unscientific aspects of his life, including the joys of romance, marriage, and fatherhood as well as the trauma of divorce. Dyson never lets readers forget that, for all of their exceptional intellectual gifts, scientists live human lives defined more by family ties and friendships than by laboratory results" (Booklist). An absolute "must-have" title for Freeman Dyson collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by Freeman Dyson. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. He signed on top of the page, making it even more prominent. This title is a contemporary classic.

Dzama, Marcel
The Berliner Ensemble Thanks You All
Imprint: San Francisco, CA, McSweeney's Books, 2008
Edition: First Edition
First Edition / First Printing. As New in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 65 pages. Collection of art and other compositions. The sequel to Marcel Dzama's "The Berlin Years" (2003). Now considered a contemporary art classic. The First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Marcel Dzama and McSweeney's Books: Art and text by Marcel Dzama. The work is presented in two separate volumes: Volume One is a beautifully produced Portfolio of 28 watercolor-painting reproductions by the illustrator/graphic design artist/draftsman/painter. Each sheet is loose, full-size, and eminently suitable for framing. They are encased in a portfolio folder that also reproduces original art in front and on the back. Volume Two is a 36-page Scrapbook, which Marcel Dzama has turned into his own signature medium: A suite of complete drawings, doodles, writings, collages, photographs, and graphic art that collide against each other and blend seamlessly together at the same time. There are three bonus materials: A large Foldout Poster, an Envelope, and an Informational Card. The whole production is printed on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper to the highest standards. In publisher's original shrinkwrap. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Marcel Dzama's "The Berliner Ensemble Thanks You All". The truly singular art of Marcel Dzama. Who recreates out of the detritus of history, the weather, Dracula films, and graphic art, among so many other things, a world that is immediately, perversely, and triumphantly his own. The Berliner Ensemble was a real theatrical group, one of the two or three most influential such groups in the 20th century, founded by Bertolt Brecht to stage his great plays. Dzama knows what it's like to be a founder: He founded the Royal Art Lodge (RAL), a group of six artists who got together every Wednesday night in Winnipeg, Manitoba because "drawing with other people is so much more fun than doing it by yourself" (Marcel Dzama). Using an impeccable, polished, and clean style, his art is characterized by a tactile sensuousness, subtle attention to graphic detail, and Folk Art simplicity. In "The Berlin Years", Viggo Mortensen quotes a great Russian filmmaker to explain why Marcel Dzama is essential and irresistible: "The artist exists because the world is not perfect" (Andrei Tarkovsky). An absolute "must-have" title for Marcel Dzama collectors. This title is a contemporary art book classic. This is one of few copies of the First Edition/First Printing still available online, is still in the publisher's original shrinkwrap, and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty.

Eagleton, Terry
How To Read Literature
Imprint: New Haven, CT, Yale University Press, 2013
Edition: First Edition
Binding:
Hardback
,
With Dust Jacket
First Edition / First Printing. As New in As New Dust Jacket. 220 pages. Book-length account on subject. One of Terry Eagleton's best books. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the Softcover Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original by a University Press. Presents Terry Eagleton's "How to Read Literature". His "how-to-read" guide-cum-literary manifesto. "In a series of brilliant analyses, Eagleton shows how to read with due attention to tone, rhythm, texture, syntax, allusion, ambiguity, and other formal aspects of literary works. He also examines broader questions of character, plot, narrative, the creative imagination, the meaning of fictionality, and the tension between what works of literature say and what they show" (Publisher's blurb). While Eagleton is inescapably identified with "theory", his reaching-out to a broader audience is proof, if proof were needed, that the latter is dying, if not dead, except, ironically enough, in the most provincial enclaves of academe. We no longer live in the (great) Age of Creation. This may come as a surprise or news to some, but we haven't, dare one say it, since Shakespeare. We live, make do, and thrive in the (mediocre) Age of Commentary, where, if it is any good, every new work of literature is an unpredictable and unexpectedly moving re-creation. As such, the novel remains the greatest form of "commentary" on Shakespeare. The greatest commentators are novelists, not academic theorists. A brilliant theorist/critic like Franco Moretti is painfully aware of this. So he reduces literature (and the experience of reading) to pseudo-scientific analyses, to "facts" and matter (in the rigidly Marxist sense). In the process, he doesn't just demystify literature and reading, he replaces the latter altogether with "literary studies", that is, academic commentary. Still, as Nabokov once said, every true writer is someone who experienced ecstasy as a reader. Hence Eagleton's "how-to-read" is not just timely, it is a necessary synthesis on reading. Understanding literature, through the most useful paradigms of "genre", "storytelling", "form", "language", and "tone", is back with a vengeance, and one hopes, for good. Eagleton does not transcend Harold Bloom, on the one hand, or James Wood, on the other. On the contrary, he now writes in the same breath, with a renewed enthusiasm that surpasses arid, pretentious, and useless "theory". An absolute "must-have" title for Terry Eagleton collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus.

First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 198 pages. The author's breakthrough debut collection of short stories. One of the most important literary debuts of the last decade of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Tony Earley's "Here We Are In Paradise: Stories". Published to enormous critical acclaim. It immediately established the author as one of the most accomplished writers of his generation. Eight pitch-perfect and perfectly crafted tales that "with quirky ruefulness, narrate the experiences of ordinary people who may or may not matter to anyone but themselves" (Publishers Weekly). "Charlotte" was selected as one of the "Best American Short Stories 1993". "My Father's Heart", the single best story in the collection, captures the complex and poignant feelings of a boy who knows his father only through the memories of others. As his debut novel, "Jim The Boy", shows, Earley's empathy for boyhood is profound and, as the glowing reviews indicate, worthy of comparison with J. D. Salinger's as well as Tobias Woolf's, in the way they capture a boy's "growing pains". His mastery of the English language is sublime, not just impressive. An absolute "must-have" title for Tony Earley collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by Tony Earley. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic.

Edition: First Edition
Binding:
Hardback
,
With Dust Jacket
Inscription: Signed, inscribed or annotated
First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 111 pages. Retrospective collection of essays on subject. One of Umberto Eco's greatest achievements, it is a central volume in the author's body of work. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Umberto Eco's "Cinque scritti morali" in a felicitous English translation. Originally written as lectures that tackled the subject of ethics, from the multiple viewpoints of a scholar's erudition, a philosopher's wisdom, and a novelist's imagination. These timely and relevant essays were all "occasional" pieces, prompted by an invitation to weigh in on war, immigration, religious fundamentalism, the very nature of evil as well as the unique ethical dilemmas we face in our post-modern, mass media/celebrity-driven culture, notably the implosion of journalism in the Age of Infotainment. One of the best pieces is "Reflections On War", which every citizen of a war-driven or war-devastated state should read. Time flies: One looked forward to a new Umberto Eco book with reliable, nearly annual, regularity, and even if, lest one forget, the book in question needed to be translated first - with the author's complete involvement and full blessing - before it could actually be published. Those of us who were fortunate enough to see and hear him in person knew first-hand that apart from being a ground-breaking scholar, philosopher, cultural critic ("semiotician"), and literary artist/novelist, Eco was a fastidious polylinguist whose command of the English language was better than most native speakers'. Umberto Eco died on February 19, 2016 at the age of 84, the exact same day as Harper Lee, another literary icon of the less prolific kind, who died at the age of 89. They will both be missed. An absolute "must-have" title for Umberto Eco collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by Umberto Eco. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First American Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online command between $250 and $500. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER UMBERTO ECO TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0151004463.

Eco, Umberto (Translated by Alastair McEwen)
On Ugliness
Imprint: New York City, NY, Rizzoli Press, 2007
Edition: First Edition
Binding:
Hardback
,
With Dust Jacket
Inscription: Signed, inscribed or annotated
First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 450 pages. Book-length account on subject. Perhaps the single best book on "counter-aesthetics" in our time. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. The book is very beautifully produced, with cream cloth boards, profusely illustrated with hundreds of plates culled by the author from the breadth and history of art, and printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Umberto Eco's "On Ugliness" in a felicitous English translation. Why we are, counter-intuitively, drawn to and even love what is ugly. Like its companion volume, "The History of Beauty" (2010), the book is culled from several sources in the original, meticulously edited by its translator, Alaistair McEwen, and as such, there is no comparable edition in Italian itself. "An exploration of the Monstrous and the Repellent in visual culture and the arts. What is the voyeuristic impulse behind our attraction to the gruesome and the horrible? Where does the magnetic appeal of the sordid and the scandalous come from? Is ugliness also in the eye of the beholder? Eco's encyclopedic knowledge and captivating storytelling skills combine in this ingenious study of The Ugly, revealing that what we often shield ourselves from and shun in everyday life is what we're most attracted to subliminally" (Publisher's blurb). With his characteristic erudition and fervor, Eco ranges from Milton's Satan to Goethe's Mephistopheles; from witchcraft and medieval torture to martyrs, hermits, and penitents; from disemboweled corpses to mythic monsters and sideshow freaks; kitsch, camp, excess, vice, and finally, violence. Time flies: One looked forward to a new Umberto Eco book with reliable, nearly annual, regularity, and even if, lest one forget, the book in question needed to be translated first - with the author's complete involvement and full blessing - before it could actually be published. Those of us who were fortunate enough to see and hear him in person knew first-hand that apart from being a ground-breaking scholar, philosopher, cultural critic ("semiotician"), and literary artist/novelist, Eco was a fastidious polylinguist whose command of the English language was better than most native speakers'. Umberto Eco died on February 19, 2016 at the age of 84, the exact same day as Harper Lee, another literary icon of the less prolific kind, who died at the age of 89. They will both be missed. An absolute "must-have" title for Umberto Eco collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed and inscribed in black pen-marker on the title page by Umberto Eco. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient is named, a published American writer who cannot be named here. This title is a great book. This is one of few such signed copies of the First American Edition/First Printing still available online and despite its imperfection (one bump on the lower back cover, but it's there) is still in fine condition: The DJ and every internal page are clean, crisp, and bright. It is not price-clipped or remainder-marked. It is priced accordingly. Please note: Copies available online command between $250 and $500. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A near-fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER UMBERTO ECO TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0847829863.

Eco, Umberto (Translated by William Weaver)
The Island Of The Day Before
Imprint: New York City, NY, Harcourt Brace, 1995
Edition: First Edition
Binding:
Hardback
,
With Dust Jacket
Inscription: Signed, inscribed or annotated
First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 530 pages. The author's third novel. One of Umberto Eco's greatest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. The publisher's special Limited Slipcased Edition is the only other edition that precedes. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Umberto Eco's "L'Isola del giorno prima" in a felicitous English translation. A gripping historical novel. Its point is that if a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, a modicum may have even greater perils. Eco's immediate concerns here - the double, the direction of time, the effect of Modern science upon Classical morality - are all profoundly philosophical. For in the invisible city called world literature, Umberto Eco's position has been unique: A serious, erudite writer whose books attract, provoke, and sell millions of copies throughout the world. His theme here, which underlies his entire body of work, is the great insoluble one of the relations between truth and reality, reality and fantasy, fantasy and prophecy, prophecy and mystery. His ability to conjure the past in all its richness, complexity, and darkness will remain unsurpassed among contemporary writers. Time flies: One looked forward to a new Umberto Eco book with reliable, nearly annual, regularity, and even if, lest one forget, the book in question needed to be translated first - with the author's complete involvement and full blessing - before it could actually be published. Those of us who were fortunate enough to see and hear him in person knew first-hand that apart from being a ground-breaking scholar, philosopher, cultural critic ("semiotician"), and literary artist/novelist, Eco was also a fastidious polylinguist whose command of the English language was better than most native speakers'.

Editors of Editora Arte 21 & Various Brazilian Photographers
Brasilia Plena: 45 Fotografos Em 45 Horas ("brasilia In Full: 45 Photographers In 45 Hours") : The Limited Edition
Imprint: Brasilia, Brazil, Editora ARTE 21, 2007
Edition: First Edition
Binding:
Hardback
,
With Dust Jacket
First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 230 pages. Collection of photographs on subject. One of the most movingly and stunningly beautiful photography books its kind ever published in our time. Limited Edition of 3000 copies. Entirely underwritten by major Brazilian corporations, most of the copies were distributed privately. None of them was made commercially available inside and outside Brazil. The Limited Edition is now rare. A brilliant and meticulous production by Editora ARTE 21: Oversize-volume format. Black hard boards with white titles printed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by 45 Brazilian photographers. Texts by various contributors in the Portuguese original and felicitous English translations. Matching pictorial slipcase. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Brasilia to the highest standards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Published to commemorate the city's founding in 1960, 47 years ago. Presents "Brasilia Plena". One of the most stupendous photographic projects of our time. The great French historian, art critic, and Minister of Culture Andre Malraux once described Brasilia as the "City of Hope", as the "most impressive epic adventure of modern times". Named in 1987 as a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site, the man-made city carved out of the Brazilian jungle under the aegis of its urban planner/genius Lucio Costa has survived, endured, and flourished where similar cosmopolitan experiments elsewhere in the world have failed. Brasilia is a full-fledged cosmopolis: "She stands for bravery, nobility, innovation, and Brazilian faith. This book is meant as a departure from anything ever done before, as it aims to become a more complete approach of the city, depicting it in all its broadness, through several perspectives, multiple themes, and endless combinations of distinct realities" (Karla Osorio Netto). That the powers-that-be and the ordinary citizens of Brasilia (who participated actively in the project) decided to make a photography book testifies not just to the medium's pervasiveness, but also to its immediacy and raw visceral power. As conceived and realized, this is a fantastic book, a labor of love, a valuable social document, and a work of art. Nationalistic pride aside, Brasilia's success is cause for celebration for all humanity, not just for Brazilians. An absolute "must-have" title for photography book collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 3000 copies, indicated as such on the Copyright Page. This title is a great photography book. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Limited Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. It is the most beautiful copy we have ever seen. Please note: We have seen copies turn up sporadically online, but they have all been in wretched condition because the book has been pored over. A rare copy thus. 180 plates by 45 of the finest Brazilian photographers of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN B002V1GY5Q.

Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Accompanied by one tipped-in, original print by the artist/photographer (hence the Series' name). An elegant production by Chris Pichler: Small-size volume format. Titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Don Kirby. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Don Kirby's "You're Not Really Initiated Until Your Eyes Are Redder Than Your Lips". Memorable graffiti from an abandoned schoolhouse. "While Don Kirby was working on his Wheat Country images, he photographed a now-deserted schoolhouse and became fascinated by the generations of graffiti scrawled upon its walls. As is so often the case, some of the most meaningful comments on life are found in places where they are not expected. Kirby's black-and-white photographs immortalize pearls of profundity that would more usually inspire removal than recording: The book's title, for example, or the equally delicious 'There have been no dragons in my life, only spiders and girls. I could have coped with dragons' "(Publisher's blurb). A witty and charming book. An absolute "must-have" title for Don Kirby collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page. It is very prominently and beautifully numbered and signed in pencil on the Back Limitation Page by Don Kirby. It comes with an original print. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty.

Edition: First Edition
Binding:
Hardback
Inscription: Signed, inscribed or annotated
First Edition / First Printing. As New in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 16 pages. Artist Book. The 22nd title in the now-legendary "One Picture Book" Series by Nazraeli Press, one of the most superb ongoing projects of contemporary art photography. Artist Proof. Precedes and should not be confused with the Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. This edition was never commercially sold by the publisher. An elegant production by Chris Pichler: Small-size volume format. Titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Eduardo del Valle and Mirta Gomez. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Eduardo Del Valle's and Mirta Gomez's "Four Sections of Time". The photographers' stunningly beautiful and moving documentation, as aptly captured by the title, of the effects of seasonal and linear time on a single structure in Labna, Yucatan over several years. Todd Hido photographed a house in "Taft Street" over four seasons, showing the moody character of the changing of seasons. What Eduardo del Valle and Mirta Gomez have photographed is flux, showing ruin and survival at the same time. The Cuban-born husband and wife team has worked collaboratively for thirty years, receiving international acclaim for their photographs of subjects in a state of flux. They are recipients of Guggenheim, Cintas, and NEA fellowships in photography. Their work has been widely exhibited in the United States and abroad, and is in the Permanent Collections of The Museum of Modern Art New York, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and The Brooklyn Museum. The great photographer Lewis Baltz, who is best-known for his desolate urban landscape work, once referred to the work of photographers like Hamish Fulton, Paul Hill, Humphrey Repton, and Richard Long as "land artists", photographers who have a genuine connection with the land in a way that their predecessors (like Ansel Adams) did not. These are very different artist/photographers but what unites them all is a love of the land and its structures, whose primary characteristics are flux, change, metamorphosis, and ultimately, evolution (in the artistic sense). Ansel Adams sought to capture majesty through breathtaking photographs of scenic landscapes and stunning landmarks. What is uniquely and profoundly moving about the "land artists" is a search not for static and immutable Essences but for Reality in all its concreteness, ruin, and beauty. An absolute "must-have" title for Eduardo del Valle and Mirta Gomez collectors. This is an Artist Proof of "Fall 1997" and is indicated as such ("A/P") on the Back Limitation Page. It is very prominently and beautifully signed in pencil on the Back Limitation Page by Eduardo Del Valle and Mirta Gomez. It comes with an original color print. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Artist Proof available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: The remaining copies from the publisher command $150. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 4 color plates, 1 original print.

"Adding a subtle twist to his first One Picture Book, 'Rosa Ferreus', Ron van Dongen follows up with 'A. Angustatum', a frame-by-frame recording of 'Arisaema Angustatum, 2001', in its transition from a tender, unassuming shoot to the mature Arisaema shown in all its full glory. Van Dongen is the subject of five monographs by Nazraeli Press, the first four of which featured his black-and-white work, while the most recent, 'Effusus', documents the artist's own transition to color work" (Publisher's blurb). One of the things that makes the collection so arresting is that the eroticism of the photographs (which may also be found in Ron van Dongen's "Rosa Ferreus"), is unmistakable yet ever-so-subtle.

The first of a two-part collection, which are unquestionably, two of the most stunning in the entire Series. "The work in these companion books is from of a series of images by Steve Pyke celebrating the beauty and attraction of the working tool, in these instances, focusing on instruments that may be used at a birth and to carry out an autopsy. When Pyke was invited to photograph the 'Post Mortem' tools by Guy's Hospital in London, he thought it would be interesting to also show tools used at the other end of the life cycle. The images in 'Post Partum' were shot at The Children's Hospital of New York. Despite the fact that medical practice has advanced enormously since those times, medieval tools are still in use. Birth tools are utilized to intervene in a natural process, to help bring a new life into the world.

Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Nancy Honey's "Poodle Parlour". A charming, lighthearted, and witty sequence of a visit to the eponymous parlor. Of all pets and perhaps because of its French origin, the poodle is most closely identified with luxury, indulgence, and discriminating taste. Nancy Honey shows how a pet becomes an extension, not just a part, of the lifestyle of her mistress (every poodle "master" is a she). The care the poodle gets is always excessive, and in some cases, the mistress comes to look like her poodle, the most famous example being Elizabeth Taylor, who sports a "poodle hairdo", and is identified with her pet poodles.

Divola's "Dogs Chasing My Car In The Desert" is a brilliant photographic meditation "on culture and nature, the domestic and the wild, love and hate, joy and fear, the heroic and the idiotic", and this new sequence, while it looks more tame at first, is in the same wonderful vein. "Seven" is clearly a reference to the typical life-span of a dog chronologically speaking (with each year being the equivalent of ten years from the canine's point-of-view). An absolute "must-have" title for John Divola collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original color print that is very prominently and beautifully signed in pencil on verso by John Divola. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: The remaining copies from the publisher command $150. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 7 plates, 1 original print. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ONE PICTURE BOOK AND JOHN DIVOLA TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1950052079.

'Walking around the house, looking at the shelves of Caldwell's books, the case of memorabilia, I tried to forget about the celebrity.

First Edition / First Printing. As New in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 16 pages. Artist Book.

Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Accompanied by one tipped-in, original print by the artist/photographer (hence the Series' name). An elegant production by Chris Pichler: Small-size volume format. Titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs and text by Joe Deal. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Joe Deal's "Indian Bingo". Photographs of billboard signs, advertising for the Indian Reservation gambling casinos that have dotted (and desecrated) what were once considered sacred lands. "In 1983, as the inland basin of Southern California was being subdivided by developers and filled in with new waves of residents, a sign at its outskirts appeared that was unusual both in meaning and appearance. The sign, 'Indian Bingo', came into view as you emerged from the basin traveling east through the San Gorgonio Pass into the Coachella Valley headed for Palm Springs" (Joe Deal). Deal goes on to explain the significance of this sign in order to show the Native Americans' overly aggressive, parallel conversion of California into their slick, tax-free slice of The American Dream. There are still some "land-mine", unresolved, and delicate subjects in America (such as racism, homosexuality, and abortion), the country's colonization by the West being the most problematic because it is the most fundamental one of all. The "re-colonization" by Native American Indians of their land is surely their way of throwing in America's face what was taken from them, a "mirroring" effect that Joe Deal bravely addresses in all of its disturbing and complex dimensions. A polemic as well as a work of art. An absolute "must-have" title for Joe Deal collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original print that is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on verso by Joe Deal. This title is a great collection.

Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Daido Moriyama's "Kuchibiru". A dazzling collection of lips. His participation in the One Picture Book Series is a major coup. Moriyama's life-work has been to make us keenly aware of the photograph as the product of a mechanical instrument (the camera) and of the person behind the camera (the photographer) as the witness to the constant flow and throbbing intensity of the world. While the photograph shows reality as ever-changing, a painting makes it seem static, immutable, essential. A photograph is a fragment, not a record. "Taking a photograph does not mean to cut off a piece of time and place and save it as a record, but to remove color, palpability, smell, and sound from a time and place, and transpose the remnants into a distribution of varying densities of equivalent light and shadow. To take a photograph is to fragment the comprehensive sensory data" (Daido Moriyama). For many intelligent people, this is precisely the weakness of and problem with photography, that it reduces reality to our sense of sight. For Moriyama, it is the medium's inherent and unavoidable nature and therefore its strength, the starting point of all photography, whatever the individual photographer's talent or intentions may be. Flow, intensity, and fragments that build up to a cumulative and ecstatic visual experience: This is Moriyama's highly influential conception of photography. A Moriyama book is an event. "Kuchibiru" is no exception. An absolute "must-have" title for Daido Moriyama collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page. It is very prominently and beautifully numbered and signed in pencil on the Back Limitation Page by Daido Moriyama. It comes with an original print. This title is a great collection.

The color print was utilized by the New Yorker Magazine as the accompanying image to a short story by the British writer Tessa Hadley, one of the finest writers of our time.

The book concludes with an original portrait printed over a vintage postcard" (Publisher's blurb). After graduating from art school, Emi Anrakuji was diagnosed with a cerebral tumor, which prevented her from working for more than a decade.

"Wacht" is the German word for "awake" (reverse the letters, it becomes "watch" in English), and Eiji Ina's photographic inventory of "always-wide-awake" and "always-watching-you" surveillance cameras is an instant classic.

First Edition / First Printing. As New in No Dust Jacket, As Issued. 16 pages. Artist Book. The 69th title in the now-legendary "One Picture Book" Series by Nazraeli Press, one of the most superb ongoing projects of contemporary art photography. Limited Edition of 500 numbered and signed copies. Accompanied by one tipped-in, original print by the artist/photographer (hence the Series' name). An elegant production by Chris Pichler: Small-size volume format. Titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Chris Arnold and Corey Arnold. Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Corey Arnold's and Chris Arnold's "Fishing With My Dad 1978-1995". One of the most charming collections in the entire One Picture Book Series. "Arnold 'curates' a group of photographs his father made of him growing up. In each of the photographs, Arnold is either fishing or showing off his catch. Knowing who the subject of these photographs is, his relationship to the one who made these photographs, and how his passions for photography and fishing would later play out make 'Fishing With My Dad' resonate on many levels" (Publisher's blurb). Corey Arnold's debut collection, "Fishwork: The Bering Sea" (2011), is one of the best photography books of our time. "Fishing With My Dad" vibrates (a one-word way of saying "resonates on so many levels") because it reminds us of what attracted us to photographs in the first place. It also helps restore a genuine humanity to a contemporary photography scene that is obsessed with sterile "concept". An absolute "must-have" title for Corey Arnold collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original color print that is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on verso by Corey Arnold and his Dad, Chris Arnold.

His first and only contribution to the One Picture Book Series, a continuation of his seminal "American Portraits 1979-1989" collection. "After emigrating to the United States from Poland, Leon Borensztein took a fly-by-night job as a traveling portrait photographer, visiting homes and businesses across the country and making portraits for working-class clientele in the style of the Sears Portrait Studios. During these sessions, Borensztein would set up a generic backdrop behind the subject, while moving the camera back far enough so that the camera captured glimpses of the subjects' personal spaces or belongings. The resulting body of work provides a rich sociological document. Individually, these are some of the most compelling and touching portraits of their time" (Publisher's blurb).

"I was inspired to create a series showing a female perpetrator, a true femme fatale. As opposed to 'High Fashion Crime Scenes', which focused on the victim and was based entirely in reality, the Juliette series is a fantasy, and flips the model's role to one in a position of power. I approached Juliette Lewis with the idea, and she became my muse for the series. I wrote scripts for each shot and she acted out the scenes. Each shot in essence is a film still. The series was shot in Los Angeles in 2004" (Melanie Pullen). An absolute "must-have" title for Melanie Pullen and Hollywood collectors.

"Having difficulty identifying a particular species of bird through her spotting scope, Carol E. Richards took a photograph through the lens to assist with her research. The resulting picture turned out to be far more than a tool for verification. It had a mood and visual content the artist was drawn to, and led to the creation of a series of beautiful, dream-like vignettes. 'Unlike some photographs of wildlife that are clear and provide answers', says Richards, 'these soft visuals raise questions. It was a surprising discovery; as I spied on these birds, I could see their charm and individuality' " (Publisher's blurb). Not everyone loves cats or dogs. But you're not human if you do not love birds. An absolute "must-have" title for Carol E. Richards and bird lovers/collectors.

"In 2006, photographer Martin Usborne spent three days walking around London in the company of a fox, hired from a taxidermist at a rate higher than it would cost to rent a Ferrari. It was money well-spent. Usborne had great fun interacting with people on the street, and the fox, temporarily at least, was given a new lease of life.

His first and only contribution to the One Picture Book Series, a suite of historical "witness" photographs of the Kennedy assassination, digitally altered/blurred by the artist/photographer. They are accompanied by a black-and-white still (not blurred but visible from a different angle) of Kennedy at the very moment of his assassination. "Uses images of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to explore the nature of photography and memory. By radically cropping stills from the Zapruder film and the Moorman Polaroid, Solomon isolates and de-contextualizes individuals and groups of figures observing the tragedy from the historical source material. Contemplating these ethereal figures invites many thoughts: How memories grow dim over time, the reliability of eyewitnesses, the impossibility of a camera capturing reality, and how everything adjusts, shifts, and changes over time" (Publisher's blurb). The book was originally intended for a late-2013 publication, to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of JFK. An absolute "must-have" title for Dan Solomon collectors.

Printed on pristine-white, archival stock paper to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Doug Rickard's "All Eyes On Me". His first and only contribution to the One Picture Book Series, a suite of Polaroid photographs of contemporary American street life. His use of the Polaroid camera is arresting precisely because the images have a visceral presence and are un-mediated, unlike Rickard's ground-breaking and celebrated digital work thus far. Still, what has been written about him as a street photographer remains true about "All Eyes On Me": "He focusses on places in the United States where unemployment is high and educational opportunities are few. On a virtual road trip, Rickard locates these sites remotely using the Street View feature of the website Google Maps, which has mapped and photographed every street in the country. Scrutinizing the Google Maps pictures, he composes images on his computer screen, which he then photographs using a digital camera. The resulting pictures comment on poverty and racial inequality in the United States, the bounty of images on the web, and issues of personal privacy" (The Museum of Modern Art/MOMA). These Polaroids are intimate street photographs, and the title alludes to the hip-hop performing artist Tupac Shakur's "All Eyez On Me". An absolute "must-have" title for Doug Rickard collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page. It comes with an original print that is very boldly and beautifully signed in pencil on verso by Doug Rickard. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: The remaining copies from the publisher command $150. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. 11 plates, 1 original Polaroid print. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ONE PICTURE BOOK TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).

His first and only contribution to the One Picture Book Series, a suite of color photographs of contemporary American suburbia interspersed with self-portraits of his single most famous persona: Kip Dynamite in the cult film classic, "Napoleon Dynamite" (2004). As his growing body of work shows, he is also a serious photographer. "I grew up in a small town out in the country, grew up working on a horse ranch. But I was in a weird area because three hours north of me was San Francisco and three hours south was Los Angeles. So you get this kind of dash of culture over the weekend, and we'd come back home to the country. It was a weird mix, but it was perfect for me because I loved both equally. I think some of my work is inspired by that type of upbringing. There's a certain kind of, I often use the word 'quiet' when describing my work, and I think that comes from growing up out in the country" (Aaron Ruell). An absolute "must-have" title for Aaron Ruell and "Napoleon Dynamite" fans/collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition, indicated/numbered as such in pencil on the Back Limitation Page.
