Soft cover. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 55 pages. Published in 2005. The author's novella-length short story. One of the greatest American short stories of our time. The First "Film Tie-in" Edition. Marks the first appearance of the title by itself in the United States. Published in a small and limited first print run as a softcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The piece first appeared (sensationally) in The New Yorker Magazine's October 13, 1997 Issue. It was subsequently issued as a softcover original (in 1998 and in the United Kingdom only) and then collected, together with her other stories, as "Close Range: Wyoming Stories" (in 1999 and as a hardcover original only). It should also not be confused with "Brokeback Mountain: Story To Screenplay", which describes the story's process of original creation and subsequent adaptation. This First "Film Tie-In" Edition is now scarce. A lovely production by Erich Hobbing: Small-size volume format. Pictorial softcovers, which feature Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal on the cover, and titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Text by Annie Proulx. Without DJ, as issued. Re-presents, in a special collectible edition, Annie Proulx's "Brokeback Mountain". Her best story. How a "woman writer" could write what is now considered the finest sexual/romantic story between two cowboys is a tribute to Annie Proulx's genius: Two ranch hands meet on a job and, without thinking about it, fall in love. High-school dropouts, they have lived very rough lives, are penniless, and desperately in need of work. Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist end up herding for the same sheep operation on Brokeback Mountain. Proulx describes the ever-escalating passion of their sexual encounters in the most explicit yet tender manner. The love affair ends when they reluctantly go their separate ways. Four years later, they are reunited as married men with children, and quickly pick up where they left off. How the story unfolds and finally ends is vintage, top-drawer Proulx. The basis of the award-winning film by Ang Lee, with Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. An absolute "must-have" title for Annie Proulx collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the First "Film Tie-In" Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright.

"Brokeback Mountain" was the Winner of the U. S. National Magazine Award in 1998. One of the finest writers of our time. A fine copy.

Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. "Signed By The Author" red sticker pasted in front. Presents Christopher Robinson's and Gavin Kovite's "War of The Encyclopaedists". A thrilliang and accomplished collaborative debut. "Two major new talents join their voices to tell the story of a generation at a crossroads, and a friendship that stretches over continents and crises, from the liberal arena of Boston academia to the military occupation of Iraq. On a summer night, in the arty enclave of Capitol Hill, Seattle, best friends Mickey Montauk and Halifax Corderoy throw one last blowout party before their lives part ways. At twenty-three, they had planned to move together to Boston for graduate school, but global events have intervened: Montauk has just learned that his National Guard unit will deploy to Baghdad at the end of the summer. In the confusion of this altered future, Corderoy is faced with a moral dilemma: His girlfriend Mani has just been evicted, and he must decide whether or not to abandon her when she needs him most. He turns to Montauk for help. His decision that night, and its harrowing outcome, sets in motion a year that will transform all three of them. Beats with the energetic pulse of idealistic youth on the threshold of adult reality" (Publisher's blurb). "A wise and wise-assed first novel. With sweep and heart and humor" (Mary Karr). An absolute "must-have" title for Christopher Robinson and Gavin Kovite collectors.

The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly copies that are signed on a tipped-in page. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Audrey Niffenegger's "Her Fearful Symmetry". Fearlessly imagined and written. The title is taken from William Blake's "The Tyger", one of the greatest poems in the English language: "Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright / In the forests of the night, / What immortal hand or eye, / Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?". It is a fully realized work in the Gothic-Romantic vein that characterizes her art as well as her prose. "The endurance of love animates this story set in Highgate Cemetery London. When Elspeth Noblin dies of cancer, she leaves her estate, including an apartment overlooking the graveyard, to the twin daughters of her twin sister, from whom she has been estranged for twenty years. When Valentina and Julia show up to claim their inheritance, they soon discover that Elspeth is still in residence, in ghostly form. Niffenegger has a knack for taking the Romantic into the realm of creepiness, and she constructs a taut mystery around the secrets to be found in Elspeth's diaries and the lengths to which she will go to reunite with her younger lover. It's no small achievement that the revelations are both organic and completely unexpected" (The New Yorker Magazine). Readers who fell in love with her breakthrough debut, "The Time Traveler's Wife", will be spellbound again. "Beautiful prose. Literature that will last" (The Denver Post). An absolute "must-have" title for Audrey Niffenegger collectors.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 275 pages. Published in 2001. The author's breakthrough debut novel. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. The Hardcover Edition has a magnificent design by, who else, Chip Kidd: Small-size volume format. Pictorial hard boards with titles on cover and spine, as issued. The line, "Good Is Dead", is printed on the spine and the page edges, and is a sly allusion to the period when the most often-asked question was, Is God Dead? . Text by Chip Kidd. Printed on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper to the highest standards. In matching pictorial wraparound DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Chip Kidd's "The Cheese Monkeys: A Novel In Two Semesters". The most brilliant and most influential American book designer of our time in his first literary foray. As the title suggests, it is a novel about campus life, and as such, is profoundly autobiographical. "Tells the story of one boy's discovery of graphic design in college. Follows our narrator through his first year at the ubiquitous State U, who takes graphic design with the enigmatic William Sorbeck, and life changes forever. Sorbeck shines in three dimensions on the page, a living representation of the larger-than-life professor that luckier college students have a chance to know. A fascinating, funny, and wonderfully written novel of graphic design that manages to deepen the reader's appreciation for the artistry and wonder of design without a single drawing" (John Green). Chip Kidd has pulled off a one-of-a-kind (in reverse) and perhaps, only he could have done it: Making words worth a thousand pictures. An absolute "must-have" title for Chip Kidd collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed and inscribed in black pen-marker in block letters on the top and bottom page edges by the artist/author: "Ron - You escaped! [top page edges] Congrats! Chip Kidd" [bottom page edges]. It is signed directly on the edges themselves, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, who is named, is personally known to Chip Kidd as he was a highly visible member/promoter of the important "Literacy Chicago" Project, which is ongoing. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed and inscribed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Chip Kidd signed most copies of his book in person, during a limited book tour, singularly, making every single one of them instantly collectible. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant American artist/graphic designer/writers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0743214927. Signed by Author.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 381 pages. Published in 1996. The author's third novel. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Should not be confused with copies that are signed on a tipped-in page, which most copies available online are. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents E. Annie Proulx's "Accordion Crimes". A masterpiece of storytelling that spans a century and a continent. "Proulx brings the immigrant experience in America to life through the eyes of the descendants of Mexicans, Poles, Africans, Irish-Scots, Franco-Canadians, and many others, all linked by a simple green accordion. The music they make is their last link with the past, voice for their fantasies, sorrows, and exuberance. Proulx's prodigious knowledge, unforgettable characters, and radiant language make 'Accordion Crimes' a stunning novel, exhilarating in its scope and originality" (Publisher's blurb). It took Annie Proulx a very long time to write and after that, get published. "Heart Songs" appeared when she was 58 years old. Once she found her voice, it resonated with such indelible force among critics and readers in a way that many writers who have been around practically all their lives can only envy, and admire. A radical departure from Proulx's familiar Western terrain, this novel is a triumphant achievement. An absolute "must-have" title for E. Annie Proulx collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Annie Proulx. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. As such, it should NOT be confused with the Limited Edition of 2500 copies, which are signed on a tipped-in page, desirable in its own right, but surely not as collectible as a copy signed in person by the author. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Annie Proulx's signature is TINY, but it's there. There are far fewer title-page signed copies than of the Limited Edition. A scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction in 1993 for "Postcards". Winner of the National Book Award in 1993 and the Pulitzer Prize in 1994 for "The Shipping News".

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 406 pages. Published in 2009. The author's second novel. Now considered a contemporary classic. Limited Edition of 4000 copies, as stated. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade edition. The Limited Edition is now scarce. What sets the Collector's Edition apart is that in terms of production values, it is superior in every respect to the trade edition. The concept and design elements are by Audrey Niffenegger herself. In stark contrast to the bright, tin-foil sheen of the trade edition, the author/artist has adopted an austerely elegant black/white/red color scheme that emphasizes the novel's creepiness: Black cloth boards with red titles embossed on spine; black gilt page edges; and a pictorial DJ design that is based on an original bird painting by Niffenegger. The six black birds ("Six for Death") as well as the titles on the cover and spine are "de-bossed", resulting in a stunningly beautiful DJ design. The text is printed on pristine-white, thick uncoated stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Presents, in its Collector's Edition format, Audrey Niffenegger's "Her Fearful Symmetry". Fearlessly imagined and realized. The title is taken from William Blake's "The Tyger", one of the greatest poems in the English language: "Tyger! Tyger!

Hardcover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 345 pages. Published in 2012. Retrospective collection of literary essays. One of Colm Toibin's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Colm Toibin's "New Ways To Kill Your Mother: Writers And Their Families". An arrestingly original perspective on literature itself: What it is and how it is realized by its writers. Offers a rich and illuminating exploration of writers' relationships to their families - and how this has affected, indeed creeps inescapably into, their work. "From Jane Austen's aunts to Tennessee Williams' mentally ill sister, the impact of intimate family dynamics can be seen in many of literature's greatest works. Traces and interprets those intriguing, eccentric, often twisted family ties through the relationship between W. B. Yeats and his father, Thomas Mann and his children, J. M. Synge and his mother. In Roddy Doyle's writing on his parents, Toibin perceives an Ireland re-invented. From the dreams and nightmares of John Cheever's 'Journals', Toibin illuminates this darkly comic misanthrope and his relationship to his wife and his children" (Publisher's blurb). Toibin unearths gems from the writers' work itself such as this: "Educating a woman is like letting a rattlesnake into the house" (John Cheever). An absolute "must-have" title for Colm Toibin collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Colm Toibin. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It comes with a fine copy of the Souvenir Material of the event during which his signature was obtained.

Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Andrew Solomon's "Far & Away: Reporting From The Brink of Change: Seven Continents, Twenty-Five Years". Travel as the best way to learn about The Other, and be illuminated. The Other being the underlying thread running throughout Andrew Solomon's body of work. Collects Solomon's writings about places undergoing seismic shifts: Political, cultural, and spiritual. Provides a unique window into the very idea of social change. With his signature brilliance and compassion, Solomon demonstrates both how history is altered by individuals, and how personal identities are altered when governments change. Takes a magnificent journey into the heart of extraordinarily diverse experiences. Yet Solomon finds a common humanity wherever he travels" (Publisher's blurb). "A beautiful book, inspired by love of 'away' and uncertainty about 'home', a celebration of freedom which valuably warns that freedom must sometimes be learned. Much more than 'travel writing', it's a portrait of our world, made by someone who has been there" (Salman Rushdie). Andrew Solomon has emerged as one of our "wisdom" writers, thinking lucidly and rationally, writing beautifully, and provoking more serious thought. His theme as a writer is the necessary yet elusive relation between Self and The Other: "Home" and "Abroad" are, in the end, reiterations of "Self" and "The Other". He shows us, without appearing to be a condescending scold, that all human beings (especially, but not just, Americans in particular) have too much Self-consciousness, not enough Other-awareness. Solomon has no illusions about awareness of The Other being perhaps the most difficult lifelong project we must undertake as human beings. He also sees it as the only lasting solution to persistent universal miseries such as war and other seemingly insoluble problems that pragmatists, not utopian idealists, must make their life-work. An absolute "must-have" title for Andrew Solomon collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Andrew Solomon. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and despite its imperfection (faint remainder mark on bottom, but it's there) is still in fine condition overall: Every single internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. It is priced accordingly. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws or are in multiple subsequent printings. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. Solomon did NOT tour to promote the book. So signed copies will always be scarce. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the National Book Award in 2001 for "The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression". One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ANDREW SOLOMON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1476795045. Signed by Author.

"Dares to satisfy us in a way that stories of an earlier age used to" (The Washington Post). "Prose so transparent and elegant. But the chief joy of reading 'Manhattan Beach' lies in diving under the surface pleasures of the plot (which are plentiful, it's immersive and compelling) and sinking slowly to its dark and unknowable depths.

Takes place entirely in one day as Packer, the protagonist, gradually then volcanically unravels while he is driven across Manhattan to get a haircut, a dramatic "set-up" only DeLillo could pull off convincingly. The novel is ultimately an extended meditation on what it means to be human in an inhuman Digital Age. Since DeLillo's allegorical novel is, as expected, scathing and ruminates a good deal, the novel has received some of the most mixed reviews of his long and brilliant career, a misunderstanding on the part of an audience and critics rather than a shortcoming on DeLillo's part, whose target is always on the mark. If only die-hard Don DeLillo admirers read this novel, it would be a shame because the writer always has something arresting and important to say, in exquisite language that few other living American writers possess today. The novel is dedicated to Paul Auster, who has dwelled on the dark side of the American Dream in his own work. The basis of the fine film adaptation by David Cronenberg, with Robert Pattinson in the lead role. This comes with a pristine copy of the film version on Blu-ray. An absolute "must-have" title for Don DeLillo collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the front free endpaper by Don DeLillo. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Laid-in is a pristine copy of the Souvenir Program, "Traffic", published to commemorate the one-time-only event held at the Steppenwolf Theatre Chicago, during which the author performed an excerpt of "Cosmopolis" with two Steppenwolf actors. The Souvenir contains a full-page account by DeLillo on how he came to write his novel, which has not appeared in published form anywhere else. This also comes with a pristine copy of the film version on Blu-ray. This title is a great book. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: DeLillo seldom does public signings, and limits the number of books he signs when he does. Most signed copies are pre-signed through the publisher on a tipped-in page, which does not have the same collectible value. Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Regarded by the literary critic Harold Bloom as one of the canonical writers of the 20th century. Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award, the Pulitzer Prize, and the Jerusalem Prize in 1999, the first American writer to be so honored, among numerous other literary prizes. "Underworld" was selected as the second most important work of American fiction of the last 25 years by The New York Times panel of writers, editors, and critics. "Libra" and "White Noise" were included in the Top 20 list. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DON DELILLO TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0743244249.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 250 pages. Published in 1982. The author's breakthrough debut novel. Thomas Perry's finest achievement. The First Book Club Edition. Published in a small and limited one-time-only print run as a hardcover original only by special arrangement with Charles Scribner's Sons. There is no ISBN. The First Book Club Edition is now rare. Presents Thomas Perry's "The Butcher's Boy". His masterpiece. What is the secret of his success? Thomas Perry melds the best elements of the thriller genre, as if inventing suspense for the first time, to his genuine ability to create an authentic literary character (rather than a mere cipher of an archetype-hero), who comes to life, even if we never even learn his real name, normally the first rule of literary creation, and leaps off the words on the page. He then calls himself Michael Schaeffer, seemingly reformed and retired. But to his author and his fans, he will always simply be The Butcher's Boy, whom we root for as the righteous, athletic-precise, and near-infallible David to the Goliath called the Mafia. He succeeds in evading both his relentless pursuers and the just-as-dogged Justice Department. The gist of the Series is that as such, he finds himself (and his loved one) targeted and compromised continually, in successive decades, as he inevitably gets older and therefore somewhat weakened. The work of justice, whose atavistic essence is revenge, never ends because, in the real life that great fiction must reflect, evil never ever takes a brake. In "on-cue" ten-year intervals, Thomas Perry published "Sleeping Dogs", the sequel, in 1992, "The Informant", the third, in 2011, and "Eddie's Boy", the fourth, in 2021, the "summing-up" novel in the now-legendary Series. An absolute "must-have" title for Thomas Perry collectors. This title is a great novel in the thriller genre. This is one of few copies of the First Book Club Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful copy of the edition we have ever seen. Please note: Copies of the First Edition available online have very serious flaws (because they have been read), are in multiple subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked yet command many hundreds of dollars, rightly so. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the most brilliant American novelists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER THOMAS PERRY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.
