Imprint: San Francisco, Chronicle Books / Raincoast Books, 1991 Griffin: It's good to get in touch with you at last. Could I have one of your fish postcards? I think you were right -- the wine glass has more impact than the cup. --Sabine But Griffin had never met a woman named Sabine. How did she know him? How did she know his artwork? Who is she? Thus begins the strange and intriguing correspondence of Griffin and Sabine. And since each letter must be pulled from its own envelope, the reader has the delightful, forbidden sensation of reading someone else's mail. Griffin & Sabine is like no other illustrated novel: appealing to the poet and artist in everyone and sure to inspire a renaissance in the fine art of letter-writing, it tells an extraordinary story in an extraordinary way. A nice clean crisp copy, a suitable gift - looks unread. The book was issued by Chronicle Books in conjunction with Raincoast Books in Canada. NOTE : This is a copy of the US Edition but as the Raincoast DJ printed with the Canadian ISBN 1895714192]. Book. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: As New Stock number: 045292.

Imprint: Vancouver, Raincoast Books, 1992 Griffin & Sabine, the most creative and talked-about bestseller of 1991, left readers on the edge of a precipice. With Sabine's Notebook, they begin -- along with Griffin -- the fall. Once again, the story is told through strangely beautiful postcards and richly decorated letters that must actually be pulled from their envelopes to be read. But this volume is also a sketchbook and diary kept by the possibly unreal Sabine, who is living in Griffin's house in London while he wanders through Europe, North Africa, and Asia, backwards through layers of ancient civilizations -- and of himself. 48 unnumbered pages : color illustrations ; 21 cm + 4 folded letters.

Imprint: Toronto, Byzantium Books / HarperCollins Canada, 1997 Readers are invited to delve into the journal of Armon Hurt, a sad, discontented man who discovers his inner fire. When his artist grandfather dies, leaving him the family home in Spain, Armon travels to Andalusia with the intention of selling the property. Once there, however, he finds a sealed cardboard case containing a small oil painting and a surreal booklet.As he examines these mysterious artifacts, Armon realizes that he is holding both his grandfather's last communication to him and a puzzle. He begins to decipher the conundrum, and as each new answer leads to more questions, Armon finds himself painting furiously in his grandfather's old studio -- strangely compelled to create a picture that is somehow linked to his legacy. Featuring paintings, drawings, collages, and paper foldouts, this is no ordinary novel. The Forgetting Room is a handmade treasure, a seamless blend of artistry and language, and a tantalizing read.106p. illus, fold outs , decorative end papers. A very nice gift book.. Book.

Imprint: New York, A.A.Knopf, 2006 The famed Italian novelist Alessandro Baricco has written four novels that have won him worldwide admiration and the Prix Medicis Etranger, now, in his most ambitious work he retools the Homer's epic 'The Iliad.' Baricco re-creates the siege of Troy through the voices of 21 Homeric characters using his trademark dramatic prose. Forgoing the detachment of Homer's poetry, this reimagining of the Iliad blends the brutality of the tale with the psychology of the courageous warriors and heroines. This rendition of the 'Iliad' imbues the legend with a startling new relevancy and humanity that is sure to give readers a fresh perspective on the mythic tale.. Book. Book Condition: New.

Imprint: Philadelphia, Macrae Smith., 1951 The timid, young, convent-bred Portuguese princess who came to Restoration England to be the bride of Charles II seemed a pathetic pawn in the sophisticated game of statesmanship. Attended by a vigilant army of ladies-in-waiting and painfully naïve, virtuous Catherine was desperate to make her marriage a success, but life was not easy for the foreign bride. Her husband's father had been executed by his own subjects, Charles was considered a heretic, and his amorous success with women was the subject of gossip. The marriage seemed doomed and for Catherine of Braganza it was a frightening venture, offering only a slender chance of happiness. Tormented by the knowledge that her husband had a mistress and had loved others before her, Catherine was torn, struggling to control her fiery temper and play the doting wife. But she proved to be a woman of passionate integrity, and from the moment she set eyes on the darkly handsome King Charles she continued to love him utterly.Eventually she managed to hold her own with dignity and courage even when challenged by the ensnaring beauty and ruthless ambition of women like Lady Castlemaine. 284p, Crisp,tight copy.

He was never to know the carefree life other boys his age enjoyed. Instead, the early years of his reign were a constant battle against the machinations of the powerful Dukes of Gloucester and Arundel, who saw him as a pawn through which to further their own ambitions. But on his coming of age, Richard found an unexpected ally in the form of his own wife, Anne of Bohemia. Through the strength of Anne's all-consuming love, he found the courage and determination to stand against his enemies and take his rightful place as a true Plantagenet King." 266P.. Book.

Topics include how to determine if a book is a first edition, how to spot book club editions, the importance of dust jackets, scouting the flea markets, how to work the book fairs, and the importance of handling the goods, as well as discussing less tangible issues like spotting trends and having a focus.

Imprint: New York, Perennial HarperCollins, 2003 The obsessive passion people have had over the past twenty-five hundred years to possess books is commonly known as bibliomania. Basbanes expands the meaning , focusing on the more comprehensive concept of book culture. Visiting many key 'book places' around the world, he talks with a striking variety of kindred spirits, each one a living testament to the unending relevance of these essential artifacts in our lives. He explores the changing form of the book over the centuries and describes the nature of the institutions that have evolved to contain them, including acedmic, public, private, and national repositories. He documents many pertinent book stories that have not been told before, and offers unprecedented depth to others that have barely scratched the surface. He profiles the experiences and thoughts of all kinds of dedicated 'book people', be they librarians, readers, writers, bookmakers, booksellers, preservationists, or collectors. 603p.. Book.
