› Find signed collectible books: 'Black and Blue'Book summary:"Bible John" terrorized Glasgow in the sixties and seventies, murdering three women and he was never caught. Now a copycat, "Bible Johnny", is a new menace with violent ambitions. This new case would be perfect for Inspector John Rebus, but after a run-in with a crooked senior officer, he's been shunted aside to one of Edinburgh's toughest suburbs, where he investigates the murder of an off-duty oilman. His investigation takes him north to the oilrigs of Aberdeen, where he meets the "Bible Johnny" media circus head-on. Suddenly caught in the glare of the television cameras and in the middle of more than one investigation, Rebus must proceed with caution: One mistake could mean an unpleasant and not particularly speedy death, or, worse still, losing his job.
Description in Spanish: John Biblia aterrorizó a Glasgow en los años 60 y 70, cuando asesinó a tres mujeres, asesinatos por los cuales nunca pudieron detenerlo. Ahora, Johnny Biblia, como lo han bautizado los medios de comunicación, parece matar para apropiarse de la gloria del legendario asesino. Son cuatro los casos que el inspector, John Rebus, relaciona y que aparentemente conducen al depravado asesino. Al mismo tiempo, Rebus se ve envuelto en una investigación interna dirigida por un compañero a quien ha acusado de recibir sobornos de un poderoso mafioso. Y por si esto fuera poco es perseguido por las cámaras de una cadena de televisión que investiga errores judiciales. Cualquier paso en falso podría costarle su empleo o desencadenar una particular muerte lenta. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Great Divorce'Book summary:The Great Divorce is C.S. Lewis's Divine Comedy: the narrator bears strong resemblance to Lewis (by way of Dante); his Virgil is the fantasy writer George MacDonald; and upon boarding a bus in a nondescript neighborhood, the narrator is taken to Heaven and Hell. The book's primary message is presented with almost oblique tidiness--"There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thy will be done.'" However, the narrator's descriptions of sin and temptation will hit quite close to home for many readers. Lewis has a genius for describing the intricacies of vanity and self-deception, and this book is tremendously persistent in forcing its reader to consider the ultimate consequences of everyday pettiness. --Michael Joseph Gross [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien: A Selection'Book summary:Scholars and fans of the great mythologist will find a rich vein of information in Humphrey Carpenter's The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien was a prodigious letter writer all his life; the sheer mass of his correspondence would give pause to even the most stalwart archivist (one shudders to think what he would have done with e-mail). But with the able assistance of Tolkien's son Christopher and a healthy dose of determination, Carpenter manages find the cream of the crop--the letters that shed light on Tolkien's thoughts about his academic and literary work, as well as those that show his more private side, revealing a loving husband, a playful friend, and a doting father. The most fascinating letters are, of course, those in which he discusses Middle-Earth, and Carpenter offers plenty of those to choose from. Tolkien discussed the minutia of his legend--sometimes at great length--with friends, publishers, and even fans who wrote to him with questions. These letters offer significant insights into how he went about creating the peoples and languages of Middle-Earth.
I have long ceased to invent (though even patronizing or sneering critics on the side praise my 'inventions'): I wait till I seem to know what really happened. Or till it writes itself. Thus, though I knew for years that Frodo would run into a tree-adventure somewhere far down the Great River, I had no recollection of inventing Ents. I came at last to the point, and wrote the 'Treebeard' chapter without any recollection of any previous thought: just as it is now. And then I saw that, of course, it had not happened to Frodo at all.
This new edition of letters has an extensive index, and Carpenter has included a brief blurb at the beginning of each letter to explain who the correspondent was and what was being discussed. Still, we strongly recommend buying the companion volume, J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography, in order to better understand the place these correspondents had in Tolkien's life and get a better context for the letters. --Perry M. Atterberry [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary'Book summary:Mysterious (mistîe · ries), a. [f. L. mystérium Mysteryi + ous. Cf. F. mystérieux.] 1. Full of or fraught with mystery; wrapt in mystery; hidden from human knowledge or understanding; impossible or difficult to explain, solve, or discover; of obscure origin, nature, or purpose. It is known as one of the greatest literary achievements in the history of English letters. The creation of the Oxford English Dictionary began in 1857, took seventy years to complete, drew from tens of thousands of brilliant minds, and organized the sprawling language into 414,825 precise definitions. But hidden within the rituals of its creation is a fascinating and mysterious story--a story of two remarkable men whose strange twenty-year relationship lies at the core of this historic undertaking. Professor James Murray, an astonishingly learned former schoolmaster and bank clerk, was the distinguished editor of the OED project. Dr. William Chester Minor, an American surgeon from New Haven, Connecticut, who had served in the Civil War, was one of thousands of contributors who submitted illustrative quotations of words to be used in the dictionary. But Minor was no ordinary contributor. He was remarkably prolific, sending thousands of neat, handwritten quotations from his home in the small village of Crowthorne, fifty miles from Oxford. On numerous occasions Murray invited Minor to visit Oxford and celebrate his work, but Murray's offer was regularly--and mysteriously--refused. Thus the two men, for two decades, maintained a close relationship only through correspondence. Finally, in 1896, after Minor had sent nearly ten thousand definitions to the dictionary but had still never traveled from his home, a puzzled Murray set out to visit him. It was then that Murray finally learned the truth about Minor--that, in addition to being a masterful wordsmith, Minor was also a murderer, clinically insane--and locked up in Broadmoor, England's harshest asylum for criminal lunatics.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Under the Volcano'Book summary:Regardless of what his apologists say, Under the Volcano is Malcolm Lowry's only wholly successful book. Fortunately, it is a masterpiece. Reading it is like willingly submitting yourself to a bout of delirium tremens, with all of the disorientation, terror, and pity that that implies. Under the Volcano isn't an easy book to get through; it is extravagantly lurid and deeply allusive, and its protagonist, Consul Geoffrey Firmin, is a hopeless wreck of a human being. Nonetheless, Lowry's seemingly self-indulgent horrors are justified by the immense power of his fiction.
Under the Volcano takes place in Quahnahac, Mexico, on the Day of the Dead in November 1939, in the shadow of European war. Firmin is in the process of violently drinking himself to death, alternately cowering in the comfort of his few, half-estranged friends and lashing out at them. His ex-wife, Yvonne, has returned from her flight to the United States to attempt to bring Firmin back into line. His younger brother, Hugh, wishes to slip over to Spain to join the last feeble resistance against Franco's fascist government. Firmin's long, doomed day is a progress through metaphysical dread and faint hopes of redemption--hopes that are always dashed by politics, mescal, and the failure of love.
This is one of the handful of fictions that gave the 20th century the Infernos it so urgently deserved. Lowry's attention to the Second World War is oblique, almost evasive, but Under the Volcano somehow remains one of the best literary attempts to grapple with modernity's most terrible moment. Indispensable. --Jack Illingworth [via]

His writing brings to life an exotic world of natural wonders, transporting readers to Chile, Argentina, the Andes Mountains, and finally, the Galapagos Islands, the unique ecosystem that inspired Darwin's groundbreaking work. Darwin's work is as relevant today as it was more than 100 years ago, when he first revealed his revolutionary theory.More editions of The Voyage of the Beagle:

These three novels unlock the door to parallel universes where demons and winged creatures live side by side with humans, and a mysterious entity called Dust just might have the power to unite the universesif it isn't destroyed first. Lyra, Pantalaimon, Will, and the rest embark on the most breathtaking, heartbreaking adventure of their lives. The fate of the universe is in their hands.[via]
Lyra and Will tumble separately into the strange tropical otherworld of Cittàgazze, where adults are curiously absent and children run wild. Their journey is plagued with obstacles, some familiar and some horribly new, but it eventually brings them closer to Will's father and to the Subtle Knife, a deadly, ancient tool that cuts windows between worlds.More editions of LA Daga / The Subtle Knife:

En ella se superponen con maestria diferentes planos, como el relato de las aventuras de Eneas, el heroe troyano que sobrevivio a la caida de Troya -con episodios tan inmortales como el de sus amores con Dido, reina de Cartago-, la identificacion con el arquetipo de Augusto y, ante todo, la profundizacion en los problemas fundamentales de la vida y la muerte, resultando en conjunto una de las obras fundamentales de la cultura occidental.

› Find signed collectible books: 'La Maquina De Los Memes'Book summary:Los humanos somos muy extraños. De la misma forma en que lo hicieron los animales, nuestros cuerpos han evolucionado por selección natural y, no obstante, son tremendamente distintos de los cuerpos de los otros seres. Utilizamos el lenguaje para comunicarnos, declaramos la guerra, creemos en la religión, enterramos a nuestros muertos y nos avergüenza la sexualidad. Consumimos televisión, conducimos automóviles y comemos helados. ¿Por qué somos tan sumamente distintos? De entre todos los animales, los humanos somos los únicos seres capaces de imitar a nuestros semejantes y, por lo tanto, de copiar ideas, costumbres, habilidades, conducta, inventos, canciones e historias: memes, en suma. El término «meme» fue acuñado en 1976 por Richard Dawkins, en las últimas páginas de su obra El gen egoísta. Los memes, como los genes, son replicantes empeñados en introducirse en tantos cerebros como puedan y en iniciar una competición que da forma a nuestras mentes y a nuestra cultura, del mismo modo en que la selección natural ha diseñado nuestros cuerpos. Los memes nos hacen: todos los seres humanos somos máquinas de fabricar memes. Este fascinante y extraordinario libro concluye con una de las cuestiones más trascendentales con las que debe enfrentarse el ser humano: la naturaleza del ser, el meollo de la conciencia que siente emociones, que tiene recuerdos y creencias y que toma decisiones. Y así, el fascinante discurso de Susan Blackmore sostiene que ese meollo de la conciencia, el yo interior, no es más que una entelequia, una ilusión creada por los memes en su esfuerzo por autorreplicarse.

› Find signed collectible books: 'LA Primera Detective De Botsuana'Book summary:En Botswana nunca había habido una mujer detective... hasta el día en que Mma Ramotswe decide abrir su pequeña oficina al pie del monte Kgale, cerca del desierto de Kalahari. Le basta con unas sillas, dos mesas, un teléfono y una secretaria... además de unas tazas para invitar a los clientes a tomar un té. ¿Qué otra cosa se requiere para resolver misterios? Al fin y al cabo, ¿no se han dedicado siempre las mujeres a escuchar y a intentar solucionar los problemas de los demás frente a una taza de té?
Mma Ramotswe no es una irónica intelectual ni una aguerrida ex policía, sino una mujer alegre y rolliza, cargada de sentido común y con un firme deseo de ayudar al prójimo. En su opinión, muchas personas no saben distinguir el bien del mal, y hay que enseñarles la diferencia. Huérfana, superviviente de un matrimonio infernal y madre por sólo cinco días, esta Miss Marple africana sabe reconocer el dolor ajeno, y quiere contribuir a aliviarlo. Sus métodos son tal vez poco ortodoxos, pero también lo son sus casos, así como sus atribulados clientes.
Con sus acertadas descripciones y sus sensatos comentarios, la protagonista de esta novela nos introduce paso a paso en la realidad de un país lejano y desconocido, donde la teconología convive con las tradiciones mágicas, y donde resulta más fácil conocer las noticias de boca de las vecinas que leyendo la prensa.

El embajador Maximilian Ophuls es asesinado a plena luz del día en la puerta de la casa de India, su hija ilegítima, víctima del cuchillo de su chófer musulmán, originario de Cachemira, que se hace llamar Shalimar el payaso. Maximilian Ophuls es un héroe de la resistencia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un hombre de gran talento intelectual y fuerte atractivo erótico, ex embajador estadounidense en la India y jefe antiterrorista de Estados Unidos. A primera vista, el crimen parece ser de naturaleza política, pero pronto se descubre que el móvil no es tan simple. Esta es la historia de Max, su asesino y su hija, y de un cuarto personaje, la mujer que les une. Es un relato épico que se mueve entre California, Cachemira, Francia e Inglaterra. Por el camino encontramos historias de princesas raptadas por demonios, leyendas de reyes que defienden sus tierras del mal. En Shalimar el payaso hay bondad capaz de hacer milagros, pero también hay guerra sucia,inevitable e interminable. Y, como siempre, está el amor, conquistado y perdido, con su rara belleza y su mortal peligro. [via]
