Description:
New York: Random House Rolling Stone Book, 1984. First edition. Hardcover. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. The first comprehensive history of the movement that culminated in San Francisco's famous Summer of Love, is a hip, richly detailed analysis of one of the most dynamic periods in recent American history. The Haight-Ashbury movement of 1965-67-named after a run-down Victorian neighborhood in San Francisco, which became its home--was one of the most written about and discussed events of the late sixties. Everyone recognized that something frightening amusing or insane was happening but no one was able to explain the movement's origins, possibilities and meaning. Now, however, Charles Perry has written the definitive account of this phenomenon by virtue of prodigious research historical perspective, periods documents and scores of interviews. 306 pages with index. Illustrated from photographs (black and white).

Description:
New York: Knopf, 1999. First edition. Paperback. A near fine copy. Proof of the first American edition. Signed by the author on the title page. The author's first new book of poetry since The Cinnamon Peeler. The exquisite poems collected here draw on history, mythology, landscape, and personal memories to weave a rich tapestry of images that reveal the longing for--and expose the anguish over--lost loves, homes, and language, as the poet contemplates scents and gestures and evokes a time when "handwriting occurred on waves, / on leaves, the scripts of smoke" and remembers a woman's "laughter with its / intake of breath. Uhh huh." Crafted with lyrical delicacy and seductive power, Handwriting reminds us of Michael Ondaatje's stature as one of the finest poets writing today. Bound in light blue printed wrappers with some light page creases (production flaw most likely). Shows the American edition publication date as March 8, 1999.

For eleven centsâall the money in his pocketâhe buys a soda bottle's worth of moonshine. Farther down the road, he takes two turnips and a handful of string beans from a kitchen garden and beds down for the night in a haystack. It is still dark out when he wakes up to a dog licking his forehead and a man pointing a pistol in his face. Despite the awkward introduction, Music and Regus Bone are soon friends. Bone is a guard at Hardcastle Coal Co., whose owner will do anything to keep his employees from unionizing.

From the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys, this gloriously entertaining novel is "fast-paced, keen-eyed and very funny ... about race, power and the history of Harlem all disguised as a thrill-ride crime novel" (San Francisco Chronicle). "Ray Carney was only slightly bent when it came to being crooked..." To his customers and neighbors on 125th street, Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture, making a decent life for himself and his family. He and his wife Elizabeth are expecting their second child, and if her parents on Striver's Row don't approve of him or their cramped apartment across from the subway tracks, it's still home. Few people know he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks, and that his façade of normalcy has more than a few cracks in it. Cracks that are getting bigger all the time. Cash is tight,…

New York: Atheneum, 1992. First edition. Hardcover. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. Signed by the author on the front endpaper. Ivan Doig was surprised by his inheritance from his Uncle Wally in 1986. The packet of letters written by his beloved mother, Berneta, to her youngest brother in the last year of her short life was now his, 41 years after her death. They were the link to his past that he barely remembered--his fifth year of life lived in the Arizona desert and on a sheep ranch in Montana. Berneta died in the wee hours of Ivan's 6th birthday of an overworked heart due to her frequent and severe asthma attacks. No one in the family ever "got over" her death. Ivan's memories were sketchy but he wrote that the family was "pierced by my mother's death in the mountain cabin." The letters gave him details of their everyday life so he could piece together their last year and write this wonderful tribute to his mother. I can't imagine receiving such a touching gift. In reading his…
