› Find signed collectible books: 'The Adventures of Pinocchio'Book summary:Readers familiar only with the Disney adaptations of Collodis classic will be surprised by this dark masterpiece, a central work in the Italian literary canon.
First published in serial form in 1881 in the Italian periodical Giornale dei Bambini, The Adventures of Pinocchio garnered immediate acclaim as a childrens story. Today Italians consider Pinocchio, along with The Divine Comedy and The Decameron, one of their most important works of literature. Collodi did more than merely weave a captivating tale. Through metaphor and allusion he summed up the national character of Italy and made biting commentary on many of the prominent social concerns of the nineteenth century, among them the despair and hunger of poverty, the importance of an education, and the hypocrisy of the judicial and medical establishments. Indeed, the universality of Collodis themes led Benedetto Croce to remark, The wood from which Pinocchio is carved is humanity itself. This vibrant new translation fully renders Collodis subtle and sarcastic wit, reclaiming the book for adult readers. The evocative illustrations by Carmelo Lettere are as delightfully refreshing and timeless as the story itself. [via]More editions of The Adventures of Pinocchio:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Book of The Thousand Nights And One Night'Book summary:In the late 1920s, the art publisher H. Piazza produced a twelve-volume version of The 1001 Nights that was one of the most beautiful ever made. It included splendid illustrations by Mohammed Racim and wonderful miniatures by painter Leon Carre. Today, Assouline is publishing an abridged version of this masterpiece, which includes the most famous and most enchanting of the tales--from the story of King Shahryar, to Sinbad the sailor, to Ali Baba and the forty thieves, and Aladdin and the magic lamp--all told by the beautiful and sensual Shahrazad. This wonderful book is one of the classics that will stand next to the most handsome books in your library. For The 1001 Nights is a cultural testimony of the past, the source of myths and beliefs of the East. A collection of extraordinary stories from India and Persia passed down orally and told at night in public squares, this unique work is on a par with Homer's Odyssey. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Complete Fables'Book summary:[via]'Many people are not in the least disturbed at the harm that befalls them, provided they can see their enemies downfall first
In a series of pithy, amusing vignettes, Aesop created a vivid cast of characters to demonstrate different aspects of human nature. Here we see a wily fox outwitted by a quick-thinking cicada, a tortoise triumphing over a self-confident hare and a fable-teller named Aesop silencing those who mock him. Each jewel-like fable provides a warning about the consequences of wrong-doing, as well as offering a glimpse into the everyday lives of Ancient Greeks.
This definitive edition is the first translation into English of the entire corpus of 358 unbowdlerized fables. It is fully annotated, with an introduction that rescues the fables from a tradition of moralistic interpretation.

The Eleventh Hour: A Curious Mysteryby Graeme BaseISBN 0140561609 (0-14-056160-9)
Softcover, Penguin Group USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Eleventh Hour: A Curious Mystery'Book summary:Reading The Eleventh Hour is like running a marathon: one finishes exhausted but satisfied. Graeme Base, creator of the popular Animalia, has crafted another intricately wrought, gorgeously illustrated picture book, this time a mystery in verse. When Horace the Elephant decides to throw himself a party for his 11th birthday, he never suspects a crime will be committed by lunchtime. Who has stolen the birthday feast? As with any good mystery, everyone is guilty until proven innocent. The proof lies in the myriad clues embedded in each glorious illustration. Young sleuths will delight in decoding the complex messages that pop up in unexpected places.
Graeme Base used the buildings he saw during his travels through Africa, Asia, and Europe to design and decorate Horace's fantastic house. Astute readers may recognize Roman cathedrals, Scottish palaces, and stone carvings from India. Best of all, secreted in these walls are cryptic messages in Egyptian hieroglyphics, anagrams, and even Morse code to challenge the perceptive and deductive abilities of any reader "of tender years or long in tooth." The Eleventh Hour is a brilliant, rigorous, creative romp that no child (or adult) should miss. (All Ages) [via]

Would you expect anything less from the mystery man behind A Series of Unfortunate Events (The Bad Beginning, The Ersatz Elevator and so on.)? Virtually every detail of the volume has Snicket's indelible mark, from the book jacket to the copyright page text to the intentionally blurry and bewildering black-and-white photographs appearing throughout. An apparently false obituary for Lemony Snicket sets the stage for what turns into a series of mind-boggling bundles of coded information passed from hand to hand, gleaned from newspapers blowing through streets, pages from a journal addressed to "Dear Dairy", blueprints of ships, minutes from secret meetings, and a lot of edited and disputed commentary. The question is, do we finally discover the meaning of VFD? You know you're not going to get a straight answer. But any fan of Snicket will have a lot of fun trying.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook'Book summary:Taken in dall smoses, this self-proclaimed "billy sook" is a fun-filled new (posthumously published) offering from children's poet Shel Silverstein, creator of Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, and other favorites. Completed prior to the poet's death in 1999, Runny Babbit was a work in progress for more than 20 years, and is populated by the likes of Runny Babbit, Toe Jurtle, Ploppy Sig, Polly Dorkupine, and Pilly Belican (who owns the Sharber Bop), all denizens of the green woods where letter-flipping runs rampant. In this madcap world, pea soup is sea poup, Capture the Flag is Fapture the Clag, and snow boots are bow snoots. Each poem incorporates the same kind of switcheroo wordplay found in "Runny's Hew Nobby:" Runny Babbit knearned to lit,/ And made a swat and heater,/ And now he sadly will admit/ He bight have done it metter." (Here, in one of many winningly simple line drawings, R. B. sits knitting one very long sleeve, which is labeled as such.) Children who have some fluency in reading will enjoy this bonsensical nook the most. (Ages 7 to 12) --Karin Snelson [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Thinkers 50: The World's Most Influential Business Writers And Leaders'Book summary:From the distinguished Charles Handy to the classic Philip Kotler to the outspoken Paul Krugman, and including such visionary leaders as Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, The Thinkers 50, based on an international survey of business academics, practitioners, consultants, and journalists, reinforces the powerful influences business and popular culture have on each other. Following surveys that were conducted in 2001 and 2003 (asking the single question: Who is the most important living management thinker?), the 2005 survey is the first to be released with a companion book, applying such criteria as practicality of ideas and international outlook to determine ranking, and featuring colorful, informative, and concise profiles of the 50 individuals whose ideas most profoundly influence business today. Each profile includes information on the subject's background and primary contributions, and lists key publications and web sites. Collectively, they reflect the state of the art in contemporary management thinking and its application, separating the people and ideas with lasting impact from the passing fads. From students to entrepreneurs to seasoned executives, The Thinkers 50 provides a compendium of practical insights on the art and science of management.

The Unauthorized Autobiographyby Lemony SnicketISBN 0060007192 (0-06-000719-2)
Hardcover, Harpercollins Childrens Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Unauthorized Autobiography'Book summary:Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography is bizarre, abstruse ("a word which here means 'cryptic'"), and truly entertaining. Would you expect anything less from the mystery man behind A Series of Unfortunate Events (The Bad Beginning, The Ersatz Elevator and so on.)? Virtually every detail of the volume has Snicket's indelible mark, from the book jacket to the copyright page text to the intentionally blurry and bewildering black-and-white photographs appearing throughout. An apparently false obituary for Lemony Snicket sets the stage for what turns into a series of mind-boggling bundles of coded information passed from hand to hand, gleaned from newspapers blowing through streets, pages from a journal addressed to "Dear Dairy", blueprints of ships, minutes from secret meetings, and a lot of edited and disputed commentary. The question is, do we finally discover the meaning of VFD? You know you're not going to get a straight answer. But any fan of Snicket will have a lot of fun trying. (ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter, Amazon.com [via]

Hardcover, Harpercollins
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Uncle Shelby's Story of Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back'Book summary:First published in 1963, the late Shel Silverstein's children's book debut Lafcadio: The Lion Who Shot Back, will resonate with young readers much as it did 40 years ago. The affable narrator Uncle Shelby's story begins: "Once there was a young lion and his name was--well, I don't really know what his name was because he lived in the jungle with a lot of other lions and if he did have a name it certainly wasn't a name like Joe or Ernie or anything like that." That all changes, however, when a circus man discovers the lion's skills as a marksman (the lion took a gun from a hunter he ate) and names him Lafcadio the Great. When the circus man takes Lafcadio to New York City, the story takes on a certain Crocodile Dundee quality--the lion eats the menu at a fancy restaurant, demands marshmallows (he likes the sound of them), and is captivated by the hotel elevator. As Lafcadio becomes more civilized and rich and famous, however, he becomes more unhappy. In the end, to entertain the increasingly despondent star, the circus man takes Lafcadio hunting in Africa where he encounters his old lion friends on the other end of his gun. Is Lafcadio now a man or is he a lion? He decides he is neither and wanders alone into the valley. In typical Silverstein style, this exuberantly-silly-yet-poignant fable, illustrated with simple, expressive line drawings, asks more questions than it answers. The glee the author derives from wordplay and the sound of language is positively contagious. This read-aloud classic belongs on every child's bookshelf. (Ages 6 to 10) --Karin Snelson [via]

El mundo de Sofia tiene el merito de haber conjugado, acertadamente, rigor y amenidad en una narracion donde una joven ira conociendo su propia identidad mientras descubre la capacidad humana de hacer preguntas. «Si no sabemos en todo momento a donde vamos, puede resultar util saber de donde venimos. Para manejar mi propia vida tambien necesito entender mis raices en la historia. La mision de la filosofia es estimular el analisis critico para poder ayudar en el avance de la comprension de aquello que tiene valor y por lo cual merece la pena luchar.» [via]

Hardcover, C. Dressler
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Herr Der Diebe'Book summary:Es gibt nicht nur in England mit Joanne K. Rowling exzellente Kinderbuchautorinnen. Cornelia Funke gehört unbestritten zu den besten Schriftstellerinnen auf diesem Sektor im deutschsprachigen Raum. Nach ihrem großen Erfolg mit Drachenreiter legt sie erneut einen dicken Schmöker vor. Ein außergewöhnliches Kinderbuch, das mit einer spannenden Geschichte aus Venedig aufwartet, der Stadt der geflügelten Löwen und verwunschenen Plätze, durchzogen von kleinen Kanälen und Wasserstraßen.
Nachdem ihre Mutter gestorben ist, haben sich die beiden Brüder Prosper, zwölf, und Bo, fünf Jahre in die Stadt der Gondeln geflüchtet. Sie wollen nicht getrennt werden, denn ihre Tante Esther möchte nur den kleinen niedlichen Bo aufnehmen. Umgehend beauftragt Tante Esther den besten Detektiv der Stadt, nach ihnen zu suchen. Zum Glück haben die beiden Jungs das praktische Mädchen Wespe und ihre drei Freunde getroffen. Alle vier hausen in einem alten, verlassenen Kino. Bei ihnen können Prosper und Bo zunächst unterschlüpfen.
Anführer der Kinder ist Scipio, der Herr der Diebe, wie er sich selbst nennt. Wenn er abends unangekündigt ins Kino schneit, mit seiner schwarzen Maske und den hochhackigen Stiefeln, verbreitet er eine Menge Respekt. Kaum einer merkt, dass Scipio kaum älter als zwölf ist. Von seinen Beutezügen versorgt er die Kinder mit Waren, die diese zu guten Preisen wieder verkaufen. Doch die Herkunft Scipios ist geheimnisvoll. Wo wohnt er wirklich?
Herr der Diebe ist eine fantasievolle Geschichte, die im Kinderbuchregal direkt neben Harry Potter einen adäquaten Platz findet. --Manuela Haselberger [via]
