Description:
London: Bodley Head, 2019. 1st. h/b. Near fine, some marking on d/j, otherwise as new.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Wry, readable and often astonishing... A provocative and absorbing history of the United States' New York Times The United States denies having dreams of empire. We know America has spread its money, language and culture across the world, but we still think of it as a contained territory, framed by Canada above, Mexico below, and oceans either side. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is the story of the United States outside the United States Ð from nineteenth-century conquests like Alaska and Puerto Rico to the catalogue of islands, archipelagos and military bases dotted around the globe. Full of surprises and previously forgotten episodes, this fascinating book casts AmericaÕs history, and its present, in a revealing new light.

New York: Simon & Schuster, 2015. 1st. hardback. Fine, 1st edition (2nd printing), unclipped d/j; text block firm, pages unmarked.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). John Irving returns to the themes that established him as one of our most admired and beloved authors in this absorbing novel of fate and memory.In Avenue of Mysteries, Juan Diego--a fourteen-year-old boy, who was born and grew up in Mexico--has a thirteen-year-old sister. Her name is Lupe, and she thinks she sees what's coming--specifically, her own future and her brother's. Lupe is a mind reader; she doesn't know what everyone is thinking, but she knows what most people are thinking. Regarding what has happened, as opposed to what will, Lupe is usually right about the past; without your telling her, she knows all the worst things that have happened to you.Lupe doesn't know the future as accurately. But consider what a terrible burden it is, if you believe you know the future--especially your own future, or, even worse, the future of… Read More

London: J. M. Dent & Co, 1906. 1st thus. h/b. Very good, 1st thus edition, no d/j, grey/green boards with gilt pressed decoration and titling bright (in protective sleeve), text block firm (top edge gilt), untrimmed pages crisp and unmarked (slight browning). With 24 full colour plates.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Washington Irving (1783Ð1859) was an American short-story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories ""Rip Van Winkle"" (1819) and ""The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"" (1820). One of Irving's most lasting contributions to American culture is in the way that Americans celebrate Christmas. In his 1812 revisions to A History of New York, he inserted a dream sequence featuring St. Nicholas soaring over treetops in a flying wagon, an invention which others dressed up as Santa Claus.
