Description:
RARE. 27 p. Covers have a few insignificant closed tears, front cover has a small light stain, and the pages have been slightly creased at the bottom corner, but the book is otherwise Fine. This zine, formerly known as KIMOSABE, is a rather rudimentary publication of bare-bones text, for the most part, which seems to be the journal of Parker, discussing daily activities and events, including his experience on a "lemon water cleanse" and vandalizing surfaces with his resume in an attempt to get a job (which garners him a TV interview).

But there are more ghosts in Louisiana than can be held in one city and the plantations of this state, with their luxurious buildings and centuries old trees, are the ideal resting ground for spectral inhabitants. In come places there are questions about the existence of ghosts. At Louisiana's plantations the question is how many?

Description:
253 p.; some creasing to spine and very minor cover/edgewear, otherwise Near Fine in highly decorative gilted cover. From back cover: In 1141 England is still torn by the civil strife caused by the struggle for the throne between King Stephen and the Empress Maud. Among the victims of the carnage is the Abbey of Hyde Meade, totally destroyed. Its brothers are scattered far and wide. Two seek refuge in Shrewsbury: Brother Humilis, who has abandoned his intended marriage and entered the cloister after crippling injuries received on Crusade; and the mute Fidelis, his devoted attendant. All is well until Nicholas, once Humilis' squire, resolves to pay court on his own account to the girl who was his lord's affianced bride, and comes to ask his blessing on the suit. Then a latent tragedy becomes a present reality, and only the ever-indefatigable Brother Cadfael can distinguish between the innocent, the guilty – and the victims foredoomed by the demands of honour, love, and Fate. 'Brother Cadfael must…

A Human Boy's Diary takes the form of a schoolboy's diary kept during his first three terms. He is not at all an ordinary schoolboy, and his comrades—the poet, the wicked boy, and the Jew boy who lends money at interest, and many others—are both witty and shrewd. A book for grown-ups as well as their sons and…

Vintage paperback in bright orange and deep blue pictorial cover, shows minor wear, some sunning to spine, a very faint dampstain accompanied with a slight wrinkling of textblock, but otherwise Very Good. Please see images. From the rear cover: The Elephant Man is based on the life of John Merrick, who lived in London during the latter part of the nineteenth century. A horribly deformed young man, who has been a freak attraction in traveling side shows, is found abandoned and helpless and is admitted for observation to Whitechapel, a prestigious London hospital. Under the care of a famous young doctor, who educates him and introduces him to London society, Merrick changes from a sensational object of pity to the urbane and witty favorite of the aristocracy and literati. But his belief that he can become a man like any other is a dream never to be realized. Bernard Pomerance is a young American playwright born and raised in New York City. While a number of his plays have been…

A thousand years of Scotland's history .. . the growth of a nation . . . its struggle for independence and its surrender of that independence. . . . This is not the story of one people but of six — Pict and Scot, Briton, Angle, Norseman and Norman — all of whom were slowly united in one contentious kingdom, and whose descendants are now called Scots.

From the back: In her entertaining and edifying New York Times bestseller, acclaimed author Francine Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and tricks of the masters to discover why their work has endured. Written with passion, humor, and wisdom, Reading Like a Writer will inspire readers to return to literature with a fresh eye and an eager heart—to take pleasure in the long and magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; to look to John Ie Carré for a lesson in how to advance plot through dialogue and to Flannery O'Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail. And, most important, Prose cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which all literature is crafted. "[It] should be read by everyone who wants to write, and…
