"He makes it look so easy, all the hits, being named MVP in his first year in the major leagues, his acrobatic defense, his base-stealing that ruined the day of any opposing catcher. Ichiro was the first position player ever brought in from Japan. When Ichiro arrived at the Mariners spring training facility in the spring of 2001, as the superstar of Japanese baseball. He had nine league records in his pocket, including 216 consecutive at bats without striking out, and then he took Major League Baseball by storm. Just 3 years with the Mariners at the time this book was published, Ichiro already had a firm handle on; his decision to leave Japan and come to the major leagues, the work he puts in daily to achieve baseball excellence; the differences between…

Description:
Jackson/London: University Press of Mississippi, 2002. Second cloth edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in green stamped cloth in a fine dust jacket. 4to. Signed by Birney Imes on the title page. Originally published in 1990. Here, Imes reveals a previously unexplored domain, the black juke joints of the Mississippi Delta country, and transforms this familiar phenomenon of Delta cultural life into something rich and strange. He has focused his camera on nearly empty rooms, yet these bluesy, almost peopleless photographs present black cafes, roadhouses, and taverns as folk art that resounds with energy and pulses with the joys and griefs of the clientele. The evocative place names in Imes's photographs sound as fascinating as the names of these juke joints which sprang up in the Delta landscape: the Pink Pony in Darling, Mississippi, the People's Choice Cafe in Leland, Monkey's Place in Merigold, the Evening Star Lounge in Shaw, the Playboy Club in Louise, Juicy's Place in Marcella, the Social Inn in…

Description:
New York: Viking Press, 2016. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in dust jacket. Surveying political rhetoric and policy, popular literature and scientific theories over four hundred years, Isenberg upends assumptions about America's supposedly class-free society--where liberty and hard work were meant to ensure real social mobility. Poor whites were central to the rise of the Republican Party in the early nineteenth century, and the Civil War itself was fought over class issues nearly as much as it was fought over slavery. Reconstruction pitted poor white trash against newly freed slaves, which factored in the rise of eugenics--a widely popular movement embraced by Theodore Roosevelt that targeted poor whites for sterilization. These poor were at the heart of New Deal reforms and LBJ's Great Society; they haunt us in reality TV shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Duck Dynasty. Marginalized as a class, white trash have always been at or near the center of major political debates over the…

Description:
New York: Blue Rider Press, 2017. First edition. Hardcover. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. Over the course of a thirty-year career, Eddie Izzard has proved himself to be a creative chameleon, inhabiting the stage and film and television screen with an unbelievable fervor. Born in Yemen and raised in Northern Ireland Wales, and England, he lost his mother at the age of six. A devastating event that affected the rest of his life. In his teens he dropped out of university and took to the streets of London as part of a comedy double act. When his partner went on vacation, Izzard kept busy by inventing a one-man escape act, and thus a solo career was ignited. As a stand-up comedian, Izzard has captivated audiences with his surreal, stream-of-consciousness comedy lines such as; "Cake or Death." "Death Star Canteen," and "Do you Have a Flag?" have the status of great rock lyrics. Writing with the same candor and insight evident in his comedy, he relects on a childhood marked by the loss of…
