Description:
New York: Harlin Quist, 1975. Fine.. First printing of this fantastic story of all the places music can take you... particularly when your front steps have magically turned into piano keys! Publisher Harlin Quist had an eye for the unusual, and an affinity for the avant-garde. Before his series of picture books began in 1967, "few books published for children had collectively raised such consistent debate and discussion, applause and criticism" (Paley, 111). He worked with a variety of artists to create a spectrum of attractive illustrated titles, from the delightfully spooky penwork of Gorey to vibrant and rather psychedelic watercolors of Etienne Delessert and everything in between. 7'' x 4''. Original color pictorial wrappers. Illustrated in color. [32] pages. Wrapper with a hint of edgewear, tiny area of sticker residue to rear. Bright.

Description:
New York and Evanston: Harper & Row, 1970. First printing. Near fine in a near fine jacket.. First edition, review copy, of the first US (and first English language) edition of this landmark of magical realism that made Gabriel García Márquez's career and set the stage for his future works, in the second-issue dust jacket. A tale that expertly weaves historical events into a fictional and sometimes strange setting, ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE has been called "the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race" (NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW). Originally published in 1967 as CIEN AÑOS DE SOLEDAD, it remains one of the defining books of Latin American magical realism and the work upon which much of Márquez's 1982 Nobel Prize rests. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original green cloth with gilt spine lettering. Original price-clipped color pictorial dust jacket, designed by Guy Flemming, with period at end of first paragraph on front flap. Fore-edge…

Description:
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1971. First edition. Near fine in a near fine jacket.. First printing of the darkly alluring reinvention of BEOWULF from the perspective of the monster. An influential combination of postmodern parable and classic retelling, a companion to the rich reinventions of Angela Carter and, in the 21st century, Madeline Miller in CIRCE. GRENDEL is maze of existential slipperiness so beautifully crafted that the reader can't help but sink into its worldview, and in so doing upend all the comfortable assumptions of morality and consciousness that keep philosophical chaos at bay. Postmodern Frankenstein. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original purple cloth stamped in gilt. In original unclipped ($5.95) orange pictorial dust jacket with drawing by Emil Antonucci. Purple topstain, fore-edge machine deckle. Illustrated by Antonucci with in-text line drawings. [10], 174, [4] pages. Sliver of faint sunning to edges of boards.

Description:
(New York): The New American Library, 1966. First edition. Very good plus in very good jacket.. First printing, in which a dying philosopher travels from San Francisco to Batavia, New York (Gardner's own hometown) for his last days, to do as much thinking as possible before terminal illness, childhood memories, and Upstate gloom join forces to drag him to his end. Gardner's first novel, with an approach and a set of preoccupations that would recur throughout Gardner's writing career. As the author would say some years later: "I'm not sure that being a philosophical novelist is better than being some other kind, but I guess that there's not much doubt that, in a way at least, that's what I am. A writer's material is what he cares about, and I like philosophy the way some people like politics, or football games, or unidentified flying objects." 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original half black cloth with brown paper boards, gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped ($4.95) dust jacket, designed by Ken Braren. Tan…

New York: The Macmillan Company, 1909. First edition. Very good.. First edition of this historical overview and contemporary portrait of social, religious, and domestic life in Turkey of the early 20th century. Illustrated study of Turkish cultural and domestic life, by a noted folklorist, travel writer, and translator of Greek poetry; Garnett's other scholarly works included THE WOMEN AND FOLKLORE OF TURKEY and several studies of Greek folk songs. While not wholly free of bias, Garnett takes care to situate Turkish women's dress and traditions in cultural context, without the Orientalizing mystification common to Anglophone travel writers of the period, and makes a particular point of discussing Turkish women's political interests and the degree to which Turkish politics did involve women. This volume was issued as part of Macmillan's 'Home Life' series on domestic life and culture in many nations, designed to appeal to the curious layperson and particularly the woman reader. Series volumes are…

Description:
Boston: Garrison and Knapp, 1832. Very good plus.. First edition of this pamphlet printed early in Garrison's career, a fiery and carefully researched summary of anti-slavery efforts, delivered to a Black abolitionist audience. Though Garrison was regularly threatened with physical harm during his editorship of the anti-slavery newspaper THE LIBERATOR, he made frequent public appearances speaking on the evils of slavery. This address, from the year after he founded THE LIBERATOR, was given largely to praise the abolition of the slave trade by Great Britain, and to address by comparison how behind the United States was in its own reform efforts. In it, Garrison outlines the history of the slave trade and rails against its practitioners, as well as offering prescient criticism of American exceptionalism and imperialistic aims. He also touches on the many benevolent societies founded by Black people across the country, and celebrates the work of his audience, the Black-founded African Abolition…
