Penguin Classics, 2012 Now hard to find in this collectable edition. A stunning and timely edition, with a special introduction by Thomas Karshan. Nabokov's first love was poetry, and his fascination for it was something he pursued all his life. By incorporating poetry into his novels, most notably in Pale Fire, he probably sent many of his readers off in search of his poetry collections. The Shade poems from Pale Fire are not included in this collection, perhaps because Nabokov was consciously adopting the voice of another character. But what is refreshing about this volume is the new translations from the Russian by Nabokov's son, Dmitri. This is a fabulous volume containing work that is decidedly 'modern' but easily accessible. It is enormously enjoyable. Always clever, frequently charming, this is a delightful volume for poetry lovers everywhere. It is essential for Nabokov fans. Protected jacket, first hardback printing, and unread.. 1st Edition.. Hardcover. New/New.

The secret life of America's Bible Belt is revealed in all its wonderful variety! America, but not as we know it. And certainly as we have never seen it.

The cover features a four-color, silk screened, 3-dimensional stamped metal reproduction of a classic American motel sign, specially conceived and created for this edition.

Number 19 of 251 copies, long sold out and enormously sought after. SIGNED by Gaiman and the artist. Known for his infinite attention-to-detail in his stories as well as any other undertaking, Neil Gaiman never disappoints. Here he offers up a limited edition broadside titled "Eight Rules for Writing," printed in a strict edition of 251 copies (this being #34) on a Vandercook SP15 proof press. The paper is 10" x 22" Stonehenge Rising white 250gm with a deckle edge on the top and bottom edges.

Taschen GmbH, 1995 A thoroughly enjoyable example of erotica from this fearless publisher, and it is becoming hard to find. Dare one say this also has a stiff card cover, and the enclosed postcards are all on firm postcards too. They can be removed from the binding and used as cards; if one dares! It would be a bit chancy to send such explicit images in the post. The thirty facsimile cards provide a chronological look at the universal art of erotic images. All are safely still in their binding here. Clean and utterly charming, if that's the word. Some might find this Taschen collection way too naughty of course. It is time - now that taboos are gradually easing - to do justice to these extraordinary depictions of humanity at play. We all do it, and here is a large collection of people from all over the world doing just that. All cultures from all over the world are represented, and they demonstrate the universal art of LOVE. As Molly said at the end of Ulysses, 'YES!'. Soft cover. Near Fine.

Royal Academy Enterprises, 2017 A simply gorgeous catalogue raisonne from the Royal Academy London. Comprehensive and masterly. A farmer's son from Cheshire, British artist Charles Frederick Tunnicliffe (1901-79) won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in 1920. He went on to work in numerous mediums, his favored subject matter being Britain's native birds and other fauna, always depicted punctiliously and yet, unusually for the time, in their natural habitats. Renowned as the illustrator of the 1932 edition of Henry Williamson's Tarka the Otter and numerous Brooke Bond tea cards (popular collector's items in Britain in the postwar period), Tunnicliffe lived on the Welsh island of Anglesey for more than 30 years. He was elected a Royal Academician in 1954.
