First Edition. 284 p. ; includes Bibliography and Index (p. 275-284). Blue-green hardcover with gilt lettering to cover and spine, has very minor shelfwear and some bumping to tip and heel of spine, in price-clipped dust jacket which exhibits some edgewear, sunning, and minor soiling (mainly to rear cover) and is housed in an adjustable plastic sleeve. Internally, the book is Near Fine with deckled edge and illustrated endpapers. The colour dust jacket is by famous illustrator Paul Galdone (1907-1987). Though mostly noted for children's picture books, this early illustration (which appears to have gone unnoticed) depicts the lusty, rough-and-tumble, whisky-soaked life of northern goldminers. From the dust jacket: Gold mining with a pick and shovel is hard work. In the Far North it also entails being out in all weathers, risk of frostbite, solitude [...] What might have been a sordid and ugly account of predatory villainy becomes in his hands a tragicomedy of the last time America blew off steam.

215 p. Light sticker ghost to cover and extremely mild edgewear, otherwise Fine, seemingly unread. From the publisher: Drugs. Violence. Racism. Despair. The tiny, northern town of Fort Fierce has issues in spades, and most of them fester in the high-rise by the lake.In this visceral, emotionally raw, and completely absorbing collection, Carlucci takes his readers through the ravaged history of Franklin Place, from its construction during the Cold War to its demolition decades later. We meet the Franklins themselves, three generations of landlords, each more paranoid and alienated than the last. And we meet their tenants: a drug dealer, a lonely bigot, a political activist, a struggling father, a wandering sex offender, a woman who refuses to give into it all. They wander in and out of each other's lives, with little in common but the building and the mould behind its walls. In The High-Rise in Fort Fierce, Carlucci immerses us in a dim yet eerily familiar world. Love… Read More

The Jewel in the Skull [ISBN 0-88677-175-7]223 p. Very minor shelfwear, but otherwise Fine, being a copy which has obviously never been read.From back cover: "Those who dare swear by the Runestaff must then benefit or suffer from the consequences of the fixed pattern of destiny that they set in motion. Several such oaths have been sworn in the history of the Runestaff's existence..."—The High History of the RunestaffDorian Hawkmoon, late the Duke of Koln, fell under the power of the Runestaff, a mysterious artifact more ancient than Time itself. His destiny, shaped by a vengeful oath sworn by the maddened Baron Meliadus of the Dark Empire, pitted Hawkmoon in battle against his own allies and forced him, by the Black Jewel embedded in his skull, to betray his very heritage. Michael Moorcock's Runestaff novels are among the great modern classics of fantastic adventure.
