New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1989. 191 pp, 12" H. Bright red cloth with blindstamped Babar on front board, white lettering on spine, yellow endpapers. Profusely illustrated with b&w photographs, b&w and colour reproductions. "Babar was created by the painter Jean de Brunhoff, who produced the first seven books of the series between 1931 and 1937, the year of his untimely death. In 1946 his artist son Laurent took up where Jean had left off. He wrote and illustrated his first Babar book when he was twenty-one and has now done thirty Babar books. In bringing Babar back, Laurent was holding on to an enchanted childhood as well as keeping alive the legacy of his beloved father. The elephant actually had been the invention of his mother, Cecile, who thought up the first adventure one evening as a bedtime story for Laurent and his younger brother, Mathieu. In 'The Art of Babar' (the author) has worked with Laurent de Brunhoff to recapture aspects of the artist's childhood in… Read More

Description:
Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1969. 239 pp, large 8vo (9 3/16" H). "This is the first critical study of F. Scott Fitzgerald based on his complete works from the Princeton juvenilia to 'The Last Tycoon'. In a work-by-work analysis, Sergio Perosa reveals the literary craftsman who through the conscious use of a Europeanized technique gave artistic form to the American experience. Fitzgerald's personal life - his early success at 23 and his failure by the age of 30 - has obscured his literary reputation, making him more a legend than anything else. This book restores Fitzgerald to his rightful place in American literature. Perosa gives the date and circumstances of each composition, discusses the various texts, compares the protagonists, analyzes the themes, and reveals the creative apparatus that made Fitzgerald great. (This book) presents a well-balanced appraisal of the writer who was the laureate of the Jazz Age. It discusses Fitzgerald's roots in both American… Read More

Description:
Toronto: Random House Canada, 2010. 479 pp, 9 1/4" H. "Novelist Christopher Knox knows all about books. Real life, however, has spiraled to the point where he barely knows his own son. Separated from his wife and battling writer's block, Chris still finds joy in one thing: reading 11-year-old David his nightly bedtime story. When Chris introduces David to a fantasy novel by a long-forgotten author, his reluctant reader is enthralled. The curious old book becomes the centre of the boy's life - until one night, when a mysterious seizure leaves him unconscious. As doctors puzzle over David's condition, Chris makes a critical discovery. Convinced that the novel is responsible for David's affliction, Chris races desperately from Victoria to New York to Washington State in search of the truth. Meanwhile, David wakes up within the fantasy world of the book. As his father struggles to save him in the real world, where the boy's condition is worsening, David fights for his life… Read More

New York: Arco, 1984. 336 pp, 10 3/4" H. Profusely illustrated in b&w. "A comprehensive reference work of twentieth-century book illustration, this dictionary covers over eight hundred illustrators whose work was first published in Britain. The entries are arranged alphabetically, and each includes biographical information, a brief discussion of subjects and style, lists of periodicals to which the artist has contributed and of books illustrated, and a detailed reference bibliography. Some three hundred and fifty of the entries are accompanied by an example of the illustrator's work. The scope of the dictionary is so wide that it includes not just influential illustrators ranging from Eric Gill to Mabel Lucie Attwell but also a multitude of less celebrated figures and artists whose work falls only in part within the book's limits of subjects and timespan. (This) will be an indispensable work of reference for book collectors and dealers, and for anyone who is interested in… Read More

Description:
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2017. 272 pp, 8 1/8" H. "For Will Schwalbe, reading is a way to entertain himself but also to make sense of the world, to become a better person, and to find the answers to the big (and small) questions about how to live his life. In this delightful celebration of reading, Schwalbe invites us along on his quest for books that speak to the specific challenges of living in our modern world, with all its noise and distractions. In each chapter, he discusses a particular book - what brought him to it (or vice versa), the people in his life he associates with it, and how it became a part of his understanding of himself in the world. These books span centuries and genres (from classic works of adult and children's literature to contemporary thrillers and even cookbooks), and each one relates to the questions and concerns we all share.

Description:
Vancouver: J.J. Douglas, 1974. 144 pp, 11" H. B&w illustrations. Errata slip tipped in at Contents page. "An immense body of writing exists about the province of British Columbia, but it is scattered and often difficult if not impossible to locate. To codify it all into a single, useful bibliography, (the compilers) began this 'labour of love'. Here is their finished compilation; but far from being a cold, factual listing of titles, it is an informal, pleasantly readable, annotated bibliography of books and pamphlets currently in print (as at 1973). The close to 1,000 entries are arranged alphabetically by author and supplemented with a title and selected subject index." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - very light edge wear, light wear at top/bottom of spine, three small minor corner creases, small soft edge crease on the rear cover, light crease on the spine.. Not Signed. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good.
