› Find signed collectible books: '9 Magic Wishes'Book summary:Magical new illustrations for a story by the author of The Lottery[via]
A girl is given nine wishes by a mysterious magician, and her choices perfectly capture a childlike imagination. For example, wish one is for an orange pony with a purple tail; wish two is for a squirrel holding a nut that opens and inside is a Christmas tree; wish eight is for a little box and inside is another box and inside is another box and inside is another box and inside that is an elephant . . . But the girl is hard pressed to make a ninth wish, and instead leaves it on a rock for some other lucky person to find.
Miles Hyman, who is the grandson of Shirley Jackson, has created paintings that capture the enchantment of the text, which was first published with different pictures in 1963 and has long been out of print.More editions of 9 Magic Wishes:

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Place in the World Called Paris'Book summary:Paris--with its subtle moods, elegant charm, and sensual allure--inspires writers and visitors like no other city. A Place in the World Called Paris, now in a beautiful paperback edition, collects the twentieth century's most distinguished authors writing on the unique facets of the City of Light. This anthology of more than 170 short excerpts from fiction, poetry, essays, and memoirs presents fresh and unexpected views of Paris: Franz Kafka on riding the Metro; Truman Capote on visiting Colette in her apartment in the Palais-Royal; Jane Kramer on Parisian style; Claude Debussy on the Luxembourg Gardens; E.B. White on the Liberation; and Maya Angelou on Paris nightlife. With an evocative foreword by Susan Sontag, and atmospheric charcoal drawings by Miles Hyman, this is a treasured volume for anyone who remembers Paris, from literature, or from their own walks along the Seine.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Tales of the Diamond'Book summary:Starting with former commissioner Fay Vincent's splendid foreword--"When we read about Baseball," he writes, "we are taking Baseball home, which is where of course all Baseball yearns to be"--straight through a stellar lineup that includes Damon Runyon, Thomas Wolfe, Zane Gray, and Paul Gallico, Tales pounds out hit after solid hit. The 14 stories collected here are all Cooperstown quality: James Thurber's "You Could Look It Up," W.P. Kinsella's "The Thrill of the Grass," Runyon's "Baseball Hattie," and P.G. Woodhouse's "The Pitcher and the Plutocrat" are probably the most well known in the group, but there's not a weak bat in the order. There are also more than a few surprises, like "braves 10, giants 9" by Shirley Jackson--her nonbaseball short story, "The Lottery," may be one of the most anthologized of all time--and T. Coraghessan Boyle's wonderfully rollicking "The Hector Quesadilla Story." Each of these Selected Gems--and, for once, the encomium is not blowing smoke--is joyfully illustrated by artist Miles Hyman's lovely watercolors. Diamond is, indeed, a rare diamond in the rough. --Jeff Silverman [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Historia de una Gaviota y del Gato Que le Enseño a Volar'Book summary:Historia de una gaviota y del gato que le enseno a volar: Luis Sepulveda prometio a sus hijos escribir una historia sobre la forma como los humanos lesionamos la naturaleza y a nosotros mismos. Asi nacio esta historia, que cuenta las aventuras de Zorbas, un gato rande, negro y gordo, que recibe en custodia el huevo de una moribunda madre gaviota atrapada por una ola de petroleo. Zorbas, que es gato de palabra, cumplira sus dos promesas: no solo criara al polluelo, sino que le ensenara a volar. Los amigos de Zorbas, Secretario, Sabelotodo, Barlovento y Colonello, le ayudaran en esa tarea que no es tan facil como parece, menos para una banda de gatos mas acostumbrada a hacer frente a la dura vida en el puerto de Hamburgo que a ejercer de padres de una cria de gaviota.
