NY: DC, 2007. Trade Paperback. Fine/No Jacket. Handsome trade paper graphic novel, newish.

NY: Barnes & Noble, 2006. Later Printing . Hardcover. Very Good+/Very Good. I am not generally wild about Art titles but this fellow has something. Beautiful work and a decent. fresh copy, if not without small wear traces. Muted eroticism, and some unmuted, blended with Hopperesque hyper real use of color and form. Book has trace of board tip wear, abrasion, no real bumping. Jacket has mild wear/crease at head/foot spine, nearly invisible in new mylar wrapper. Domestic media mail shipping for this oversize title at our usual one book price.

Northridge: Lord John Press, 1981. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good+/No Jacket. Hardcover, #36 of the limited, signed at the numbered page, 2nd to last, by O'Brien. Books condition closely approaches near fine but, as always, we grade conservatively. Should have foto of this up soon. Charming copy, trace cover scuff, very minor, cloth an even green and black with good gilt. No slip case or jacket, I assume as made.Cream text and decorative end sheets are beautiful. There is exceedingly mild wave to text, hard to see, which I presume to be as made. Extremely slender book, 36 paginated pages. JUST RECEIVED and added a rather dowdy mass market paperback of Mary and Padriac Colum's "Our Friend James Joyce." Book mildly worn, front cover smudged, bit of spine crease, unmarked. Sturdy if not pretty. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately.

NY: Grove, Weidenfield, 1989. 1st Edition, full number Line . Hardcover. Very Good+/Very Good+. As with Ahearn, we do not consider "First Editions" with partial number lines to be 1sts at all, and only consider those with the full lines to be true trade 1sts. Not a perfect copy, but attractive and lightly used. Crisp text, binding tight. The notable flaw is trace bumping to board tip bottoms, very mild. Jacket has just a trace of edge wear. In mylar wrapper. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately.

NY: Macmillan, 1932. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. Excuse a long description for a lesser item, but, I think this one merits it on a couple of subjects. IE 'fair' is a very low grade and there is no dust jkt. In this case, while the book is sound it has a bit of h2o damage inside and out, some stain and bleed, fairly minor, and a good bit of foxing. That said, text is unmarked and perfectly readable, binding sound, and the books appearance is tolerable. Foto will follow when time permits. On another issue, the generally ultra reliable McBrides says 'Printed w/ SD' not quite what we have here, ie 'Set up and printed. Published April, 1932' SD is present. I think this pup is a first, not that it greatly matters in a case like this. Publishers promo. ill folded and loosely laid in. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately.

Baton Rouge: LSU Press, 2002. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine.
