Description:
New York: Scribner, 2018. First Scribner hardcover edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in dust jacket. Colm TóibÃÂn begins his incisive, revelatory Mad, Bad, Dangerous to Know with a walk through the Dublin streets where he went to university—a wide-eyed boy from the country—and where three Irish literary giants also came of age. Oscar Wilde, writing about his relationship with his father, William Wilde, stated: "Whenever there is hatred between two people there is bond or brotherhood of some kind...you loathed each other not because you were so different but because you were so alike." W.B. Yeats wrote of his father, John Butler Yeats, a painter: "It is this infirmity of will which has prevented him from finishing his pictures. The qualities I think necessary to success in art or life seemed to him egotism." John Stanislaus Joyce, James's father, was perhaps the most quintessentially Irish, widely loved, garrulous, a singer, and drinker with a volatile temper, who drove his son from…

Description:
Westport: Praeger, 2006. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in a near fine jacket (corner crease to front flap). This copy inscribed by William Jr to a familly member on the half-title page. "Wild Bill" Wellman was not Paramount Pictures' first choice to direct the World War 1 epic "Wings", but as a former aviator and war hero, he was the right choice, even though for months he waged his own war with studio executives. The film, starring Clara Bow, broke box office records and earned its studio the first Academy Award for Best Picture. Considered by many to be the last great film of the silent era, 'Wings' had a major influence of many directors far into the future. Augmented with personal correspondence from Wellman's own World War 1 tour of duty as a fighter pilot, on-set photographs from Wings and other classic Hollywood films, and anecdotes from the back lots of the early studio system, this unique work traces the way in which the first Best Picture's director used his own war experience to…

Description:
New York: Knopf, 2013. First United States Edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in dust jacket. In 1974, an English archaeologist discovered a manuscript in Accra, the present capital of Ghana; carbon dating showed that it had originated in 1307. Written in Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin, the document describes a meeting in the year 1099 between the people of Jerusalem and a sage known as the Copt. It is the year in which the city, where Jews, Christians, and Muslims live together in harmony, is preparing for an attack by the armies of the Crusades. In this captivating novel, best-selling author Paulo Coelho brings to life the anguish of a city on the brink of annihilation. As the fearful citizens seek advice and reassurance, the Copt speaks of the principles that shape everyday lives and reveals why they will survive the destruction of Jerusalem and endure for generations to come.  The novel unfolds as a sequence of parables exploring the meaning and value of love, faith, sex, friendship, beauty,…

America's national pastime has developed a decidedly Japanese flair. In the decade since pitcher Hideo Nomo first tested the waters as a Los Angeles Dodger in 1995, almost two dozen Japanese have donned the uniform of a major league baseball team, many of them becoming household names. None have been as popular or have had as much of an impact on the game as Ichiro Suzuki. Here, Japanese-American cultural expert Robert Whiting examines the extraordinary phenomenon of Japanese ballplayers making it big, and re-inventing the game, in America. 272 pp, illustrated from photographs.
