Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 406 pages. Published in 1992. The author's book-length account on subject. Now widely considered to be the single best book on Michael Jordan and sports superstardom. 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 Bob Greene's "Hang Time: Days And Dreams With Michael Jordan". Hero worship. "By nature a hero-worshipper, he surely found a figure worthy of adulation in basketball superstar Michael Jordan. Over the course of two seasons (in which Chicago won two championships and Jordan was twice named the Most Valuable Player in the NBA), Greene and Jordan conversed about many subjects, but principally about the athlete's adjustment to fame; his mostly unpublicized charitable contributions; and his reaction to adverse publicity, much of it undeserved. Jordan is candid (his teammates are not his friends), careful of his image (he always meets the media in a suit after the games), and relatively down-to-earth" (Publisher's Weekly). "A vivid, enlightening portrait of the world's ultimate sports star" (The Chicago Tribune). An absolute "must-have" title for Bob Greene and Michael Jordan collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the half-title page by Bob Greene. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a sports 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: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER BOB GREENE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0385425880. Signed by Author(s).

Pamphlet. Season's program, [16]p., coated alkaline paperstock stapled into 12x9 inch wraps, b&w guts with four fullpage color plates: cover (by "Nationally Known Artist Irving Sinclair", evidently American, which we had guessed from the geometrically round exposed breast), followed inside by an Acme Beer ad (blond in purple with a "dietetically non-fattening" Acme close at hand) then a genuinely sexy Coca Cola ad and a rather martial Chesterfield ad. M. Fischer gets a b&w portrait page to himself, a plump severe older man billed in the title line as "Internationally Celebrated Producer of the Folies Bergere". We are unsure if any of the Parisian entertainers made it to the Bay Area, whether young female posers or older male jokesters. At least one of the latter is known to us from his later appearances on the Ed Sullivan show, namely Senor Wences. As far as nearly-nude cuties, only one is shown, and she belongs not to Paris but to our own Frisco, one of the "Embassy Eyefuls" at Tiny's Embassy Club (Fisherman's Wharf). Ads are mostly for local stuff.

The first appearance of the title in English and in the United Kingdom. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly copies that are signed on a bookplate. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Per Petterson's "Jeg forbanner tidens elv" in a felicitous English translation. The fourth novel by Per Petterson to be translated into English. A prequel to his second novel, "In The Wake" (2006). "Examines lives half-lived, ending and perhaps beginning anew. In 1989, 37-year-old Arvid Jansen's marriage is ending and his mother is dying of cancer. Hoping to leave his marital woes behind in Oslo, Jansen follows his Danish-born mother to her home country, to the beach house where the family spent summers. During the ferry ride and the following days in Denmark, Jansen recalls his childhood bond with his mother and his decision, after two years of college, to leave school and join his fellow Communists in the factories. He struggles with his commitment to Communism - the title is a line from a poem by Mao Tse Tung - and with his place in his family and the larger world. Petterson blends hope with gorgeously evoked melancholy to come up with a heart-breaking and cautiously optimistic work" (Allison Block). An absolute "must-have" title for Per Petterson collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in blue ink-pen on the title page by Per Petterson. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a bookplate, as signed copies of the book are. This title is a contemporary classic.

Volume 5, No. 5, the January, 1952 issue of what had been the Fantasy Advertiser fanzine, titles now, for the first time in this issue, Science Fiction Advertiser. Cover by Morris Scott Dollens, rear cover features Neil Austin channeling Picasso (see scans). Both have illustrations within, as well. Octavo, stapled wraps, 33 numbered pages. Near Fine copy, with a small cut at spine top (see scans). Otherwise a high grade, very sharp, undamaged copy. Essentially, the premier issue under the Science Fiction Advertiser name. Though its content of ads, book lists, book reviews, plus some commentary by "the editor", that being Roy Squires at this time, remained unchanged. Reviews and similar commentary on sci-fi within this issue are by Darrell C. Richardson; Clyde Beck; Carolyn Gaybard; Roger Scott, R.G. Medhurst, and the editor; some of the books they review are Arthur Louis Joquel III's "The Challenge of Space", Raymond J. Healy's "New Tales of Space and Time", Bleiler & Dikty's "The Best Science Fiction Stories: 1951", Stanton A. Coblentz's "After 12,000 Years", as well as Coblentz's "When the Birds Fly South", Arthur C. Clarke's "The Sands of Mars", and Sam Moskowitz's "The Immortal Storm". Many more titles are either briefly mentioned, advertised, or discussed. A classic issue from a fanzine classic from the golden age of sci-fi, replete with ads, sale and auction notifications, publications notices, and more - all focused on science fiction, fantasy and horror, by intent, but mostly on Science Fiction by execution at this time.

Giles Harvey, The New Yorker This is an unforgettable novel from one of our finest writers. Douglas Stuart, author of Shuggie Bain From the two-time Booker Prize finalist, a dazzlingly written novel exploring love, memory, grief, and long-buried secrets Recently retired policeman Tom Kettle is settling into the quiet of his new home, a lean-to annexed to a Victorian castle overlooking the Irish Sea. For months he has barely seen a soul, catching only glimpses of his eccentric landlord and a nervous young mother who has moved in next door. Occasionally, fond memories return, of his family, his beloved wife June and their two children, Winnie and Joe. But when two former colleagues turn up at his door with questions about a decades-old case, one which Tom never quite came to terms with, he finds himself pulled into the darkest currents of his past. A beautiful, haunting novel, in which nothing is quite as it seems, Old God's Time is about what we live through, what we live with, and what may survive of us. Signed by Author(s).

Los Angeles Times "Electric.I loved every second." Emily Henry "Utterly winning.Imagine if The Time Traveler's Wife had an affair with A Gentleman in Moscow.Readers, I envy you: There's a smart, witty novel in your future." Ron Charles, The Washington Post A time travel romance, a spy thriller, a workplace comedy, and an ingenious exploration of the nature of power and the potential for love to change it all: Welcome to The Ministry of Time, the exhilarating debut novel by Kaliane Bradley. In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she'll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering "expats" from across history to establish whether time travel is feasiblefor the body, but also for the fabric of space-time. She is tasked with working as a "bridge": living with, assisting, and monitoring the expat known as "1847" or Commander Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 expedition to the Arctic, so he's a little disoriented to be living with an unmarried woman who regularly shows her calves, surrounded by outlandish concepts such as "washing machines," "Spotify," and "the collapse of the British Empire." But with an appetite for discovery, a seven-a-day cigarette habit, and the support of a charming and chaotic cast of fellow expats, he soon adjusts. Over the next year, what the bridge initially thought would be, at best, a horrifically uncomfortable roommate dynamic, evolves into something much deeper. By the time the true shape of the Ministry's project comes to light, the bridge has fallen haphazardly, fervently in love, with consequences she never could have imagined. Forced to confront the choices that brought them together, the bridge must finally reckon with howand whether she believeswhat she does next can change the future. An exquisitely original and feverishly fun fusion of genres and ideas, The Ministry of Time asks: What does it mean to defy history, when history is living in your house? Kaliane Bradley's answer is a blazing, unforgettable testament to what we owe each other in a changing world. Signed by Author(s).

Excellent, new condition. One of only 300 printed. [Inanna Rare Books - Reprint & Facsimile - Series]. The here reprinted publication is famous and rare due to it being the final product of one of the most daring acts of piracy by an english publisher, Philip Luckombe, who first published this text under the title "A Tour through Ireland" in the year 1780. What makes the 1788-edition valuable are the addition of several excellent Engravings, Maps and Plans of Cities in Munster (see here below a full list of the large and medium size reproductions of Maps, Plans and Engravings which come in a separate Folder, accompanying the two text-volumes). The publication we see here warranted a Reproduction for it is very hard to find with all Illustrations present and especially the Engravings of Cork City, Kinsale, Youghal, Dungarvan and Waterford are possibly the finest and some of the earliest Illustrations of these Irish Cities and Irish Towns in the 18th century and should be present in every serious Irish History Collection. The Maps of County Cork, County Kerry and County Waterford show not only the clarity of 18th century map-making but also give wonderful historical detail of the families who ruled and lived on the land by the placing of these families' Coats of Arms on the Maps. "The Compleat Irish Traveller" is the pinnacle of pirated Travel-Writing in Ireland and proof of its enduring success for the english audience of the 18th century. American historian Susan M. Kroeg writes in her essay "Philip Luckombe's 'A Tour through Ireland' (1780) and the Problem of Plagiarism" about the publication we have reprinted: "According to Joep Leerssen, the reliability of a travel narrative, the extent to which the author actually experienced the events of which he writes, is ultimately 'insignificant'; what matters is the degree to which the work met its audience's expectations. Luckombe found and exploited the productive intersection of his readers' expectations of Ireland and their expectations of travel writing and succeeded in plagiarising some of the most popular and prominent Irish travel narratives of the late eighteenth century. In a final irony, the entire text of Luckombe's Tour ['A Tour through Ireland'] was pirated and republished anonymously in 1788 as "The Compleat Irish Traveller"- which, in a sense, it was." Philip Luckombe took most of the Illustrations, but not all, from the following publications by Charles Smith: 1. Charles Smith's "Antient and Present State of the County of Waterford" 2. Charles Smith's "Antient and Present State of the County and City of Cork" What Luckombe did not do was altering the source of the engravings and who produced them.
