San Francisco: McSweeney's, 2009. First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. First came Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, the children's book so many people have loved well into adulthood. Then Spike Jonze asked Dave Eggers to help him with the screenplay for a film adaption he was making of the book. Then Eggers ran with the idea and turned it all into this 287-page novel, The Wild Things. Which, in this particular edition, looks less like a book and more like a Wild Thing itself, covered in fur, with two eyes peering out of the front cover. Besides being furry, our copy is new and signed by the author, who Globe and Mail critic Maria Tatar said "makes Max his own through deft touches" and "brings Max to life with his trademark kinetic narrative energy.". A very unusual cover: plush brown "fake fur" on the front, back, and spine, with cut-outs on the front that show painted eyes peering out through the fur.

San Diego, CA: Singular Thomson Learning, 2001. First Edition. Softcover. New. An excellent reference for speech pathologists, otolaryngologists, and other professionals that work with the voice. Also of value to the professional singer. Aside from professionals' interest, this book is just really fascinating to read - it covers breathing, neuromuscular, articulation, pharmacological effects, endocrine effects, and many other considerations of the voice as one ages. It's not often you can pick up a book, and literally everything you read in that book is new information, but we had that experience with this book. So many books, so little time. New, pristine.
