› Find signed collectible books: 'The Age of Innocence'Book summary:Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, The Age of Innocence is an elegant, masterful portrait of desire and betrayal in old New York. With vivid power, Wharton evokes a time of gaslit streets, formal dances held in the ballrooms of stately brownstones, and society people "who dreaded scandal more than disease." This is Newland Archer's world as he prepares to many the docile May Welland. Then, suddenly, the mysterious, intensely nonconformist Countess Ellen Olenska returns to New York after a long absence, turning Archer's world upside down.
This classic Wharton tale of thwarted love is an exuberantly comic and profoundly moving look at the passions of the human heart, as well as a literary achievement of the highest order. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'American Characters: Selections from the National Portrait Gallery, Accompanied by Literary Portraits'Book summary:This delightful book brings together 160 famous American figures from Pocahontas to Louis Armstrong, providing visual and verbal portraits that illuminate their place in American life. The portraiture -- painting, sculpture, photograph, or cartoon -- is paired with literary images taken from eyewitness accounts, memoirs, poems, letters, and biographies, and with lively and informative commentary by the editors, R. W. B. and Nancy Lewis. The whole is a rich addition to American cultural history.
The gallery of portraits includes statesmen and outlaws, artists and athletes, and writers and performers, all described by commentators who are equally colorful and illustrious. The book features, for example, John Guare on Eugene O'Neill, Al Capone on himself, Adlai Stevenson on Eleanor Roosevelt, Pete Seeger on Woody Guthrie, Stieglitz and O'Keeffe on each other, e. e. cummings on Buffalo Bill Cody, Arthur Ashe on Joe Louis, and Gertrude Stein on Ulysses S. Grant. Some of the verbal portraits were composed especially for this book, among them Harold Bloom on Joseph Smith, Russell Baker on H. L. Mencken, John Hollander on Wallace Stevens, John Updike on Ernest Hemingway, and Robert B. Parker on Dashiell Hammett. All of the images are from the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, where R. W. B. Lewis has been a member of the Board of Commissioners since 1986. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Century of Arts and Letters'Book summary:Rather grandly housed in a less-than-glamorous Manhattan neighborhood, the American Academy of Arts and Letters tends to keep a low profile. Indeed, most people have probably never heard of the institution, which hands out awards and grants and convenes once a year for a celebrity-intensive blowout. Yet this all-American equivalent of the Academie Française has just turned 100, occasioning this chronicle by an eminent round robin of academicians. R.W.B. Lewis covers the initial decade, during which William James declined his nomination on the grounds that his little brother Henry had been elected first. Norman Mailer recalls the momentary entente between the Kennedy White House and the arts community, while architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable documents the Academy's semicomatose state during the early 1980s. A Century of Arts & Letters is, on one hand, a kind of anthropological study, which tells us a great deal about the roosting patterns of artistically-inclined Homo sapiens. Yet it also tracks the slow incursion of modernism into the academy, which has finally embraced it and made a little room, even, for the postmodern barbarians at the gate. [via]
