About This Item
Avid Reader Press, New York, 1st Edition, 1st Printing 2021, SIGNED by Susan Orlean on a publisher's tipped-in leaf. Hardcover with dust jacket, 241 numbered pages, 24 x 17 cm, boards covered with white paper, cream textured spine with black titling, brilliant white just jacket with over-sized lettering and a chicken. NEW (unread) book. Condition is Fine in Fine (no faults observed), packed securely in a sturdy (200# burst test) box. Susan Orlean has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1992. Susan Orlean is a journalist and bestselling author of The Orchid Thief and The Library Book, and a staff writer for The New Yorker with a dedicated following. The Orchid Thief was adapted into the film Adaptation (2002), and Meryl Streep won an Oscar nomination for her performance as Orlean. Susan Orlean brings a fresh buzzword to the cultural conversation when she describes herself as "animalish" in her new collection of essays, "On Animals". "I don't just mean as a child," she writes, "since all children love animals. I don't just mean as a young girl … I mean that somehow or other, in whatever kind of life I happened to be leading, animals have always been my style."

About The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop
The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop has a passion for fine and rare books covering all things art, all things music, 19th Century literature and culture, fine illustrations and modern firsts. The Cat digs artistic and counter-cultural movements, and also of course the unusual and the curious (hence the "Peculiar" in the name). The Cat's yen for the 19th century (including art, fashion, affairs, exploration) is possibly influenced by living in a 19th century brownstone, a future gallery for the store.Selling online since 2003 with great customer feedback - if the customer is happy, we are happy.
