Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 222 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's black boards with gilt lettering in original jacket. First edition. US professor Neil Kelly (Ceremony of Innocence) is in England again, partly to be lionized (mildly) by his longtime publisher--on the occasion of his new book, The Lives of John Donne. But the conglomerate-owner of his publisher happens to be tycoon Sir Gordon Fairly--who's obsessed with his theory that a Fairly ancestor wrote Arden of Faversham, that anonymously authored classic from 1592 (often credited to Shakespeare). So Neil, full of 16th-century expertise, is soon deeply involved in theatrical doings--because Sir Gordon wants to mount a full-scale production using red-hot director Charles Leonard and Neil's acting friends Hugh James and wife Sheila Edwards. And then Neil is in the midst of murder again: three letter bombs are delivered to his Lordship's antique-furnished Daimler, with fatal results. Among the suspects? Sir Gordon's widow Sylvia and venomous daughter Ashley. But they're only the beginning--as Neil joins beguiling C.I.D. Inspector Thomas Bowie in unfolding the dozen bizarre relationships that led to Gordon's murder. Stuffed with plot twists and gamy characters, bright with Dean's customary wit and playful intellect: scintillating mystery-comedy from the genre's most recent rising star.

Emma Trent, a dance teacher and young widow now married to older executive Douglas Trent, returns home one night to find her husband bludgeoned to death in an apparent burglary. Because her first husband, another older man, also died while she was out of the house, she is a natural suspect. Then Adam McClure, one of Emma's young male students, kills himself after police find the baseball bats he and his friend Paulie Kellen used to commit the murder; Adam leaves a note incriminating Emma, who hires Gwenn to clear her name. Gwenn, who battles police detective Lew Sackler, whom she is dating, and police sergeant Ray Dixon for facts in the case, redoubles her efforts when Paulie is found shot to death.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 101 pages with color frontispiece and photographs. Oblong octavo (8 3/4' x 10 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial covers. Foreword by Edward O Wilson. First edition. From one of America's most distinguished and quirkily gifted photographers, a wildly original book of images that chronicles--and critiques--the curiously familiar social life of bugs. Barbara Norfleet loves bugs for both their beauty and their strangeness, and the fact that they've been on earth so much longer than the human race that they make us look like new kids on the block. In this remarkable collection, she sets out to explore her own vision of bug society--its feelings, its relationships and rituals, its neuroses and malaises at the end of what is, after all, just one more millennium in bug history. From a grasshopper poised triumphantly atop a rock and a spindly-armed pair of Harlequin beetles dancing, to a group of twittering bugs gathered to watch the sun set, a beetle beauty pageant, and a bug hanging, Norfleet captures with extraordinary humor and perception an amazing reflection of our own experience and feelings. Most wonderful of all is what we are led to discover--that bugs are us. Condition: Near fine.…

paperback. Condición: Near Fine. PAPERBACK, cover price $12.95, near fine, covers lightly curled. RILKE, RAINER MARIA. Rilke on love and other difficulties. Translations and considerations of Rainer Maria Rilke by John J.L. Mood. New York: Norton, 2004, reissued as Norton paperback, 117pp., . Cover design by Martin Ogolter for studio ormus. German and English on facing pages for the poetry. - This book was compiled by a Rilke lover for Rilke lovers. John Mood has chosen selections from Rilke and combined them with his own writings and commentary. Included are Rilke's letters on love; poems on love and other difficulties, translated by Mood; shorter selections from Rilke's work; and an essay by Mood. The letters on love present Rilke's exploration of the deepest levels of what love is. His working toward love at these depths was poetic, profound, and thoroughly radical. His language is sensual; his deep spirituality is rooted in the senses. The letters are of crucial importance for those who have passed from puritanism to promiscuity without ever having experienced genuine love. The love poems were written during the period of Rilke's most mature work. They are sensual and explicitly sexual-but they are also tough-minded. The poems reflect great passion and gentle care; his unique joining of the masculine and the feminine is profoundly portrayed. There is also a selection from Rilke's later poems, which many feel are his most significant works. All but a few have appeared in translation only once before. The poems deal with the fundamental difficulty of living-dying, though with greater subtlety, density, and depth than before. The book concludes with a passage from Rilke on the difficulty of writing poetry and of living life; a letter containing an affirmation of life; and Mood's essay on dying, based on Rilke's self-composed epitaph. - CONTENTS: I.
