› Find signed collectible books: 'The Adventures of Tintin: The Blue Lotus'
Picking up where he left off in the Egyptian adventure Cigars of the Pharaoh, Tintin travels to China in The Blue Lotus, a tale which is generally considered Herge's first masterpiece. It's also Tintin's only foray into actual history, specifically the Sino-Japanese conflicts of the early 1930s. The political tensions combined with the chilling threats of drugs give the story an especially high and realistic sense of danger. Herge's interest in China was spurred by a friendship with a young Chinese student named Chang Chong-chen, a relationship that Tintin mirrors with a Chinese boy also named Chang Chong-chen. Herge paints a vivid picture of China and takes the opportunity to denounce ethnic prejudices (though ironically his artistic depiction of the Japanese businessman Mitsuhirato is quite grotesque). Years later, Tintin's relationship with Chang would become the basis of Tintin in Tibet. --David Horiuchi [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Living on the Wind: Across the Hemisphere With Migratory Birds'
Did you know that neither temperature nor hunger sparks bird migration? That many species migrate at night? That some birds migrate more than 5,000 miles in a single, uninterrupted flight? "We are such stodgy, rooted creatures," observes the author of this fascinating book. "To think of crossing thousands of miles under our own power is as incomprehensible as jumping the moon. Yet even the tiniest of birds perform such miracles."
For anyone curious about the lives of migratory birds (and, incidentally, those of bird-obsessed humans), this book is a great nest of information. The author has traveled all over the world banding and observing birds and talking to the experts--amateur birders and ornithologists who have made many of the important discoveries about bird biology. From Alaska to Lake Erie to the limestone forests of Jamaica, Weidensaul reaches not only for the scientific particulars but for the universal stories and humanizing, descriptive turns of phrase that keep this book from bogging down in statistics and jargon. By book's end the reader is unable to resist the heart of this compelling story, a plea for the conservation of habitat to keep these miraculous creatures on--or at least circling--the earth. --Maria Dolan [via]

Ovid is a poet to enjoy, declares William S. Anderson in his introduction to this textbook. And Andersons skillful introduction and enlightening textual commentary will indeed make it a joy to use.
In these books Ovid begins to leave the conflict between men and the gods to concentrate on the relations among human beings. Subjects of the stories include Arachne and Niobe; Tereus, Procne, and Philomela; Medea and Jason; Orpheus and Eurydice; and many others, familiar and unfamiliar. For students of Latin-and teachers, too-they provide an interesting experience.
In his introduction the editor discusses Ovids career, the reputation of the Metamorphoses during Ovids time and after, and the various manuscripts that exist or have been known to exist. He describes the general plan of the poem, its main theme, and the problem of its tone. Technical matters, such as style and meter, are also considered. In notes the editor summarizes the story being told before proceeding to the line-by-line textual comments.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Oregon Desert'
Dust jacket notes: "This book, The Oregon Desert, is a hard one to define. A single paragraph may be a mixture of geology, history, biography, and rich desert lore. There is no other book about the Oregon desert and this one fills the void. Most of the material applies equally well to other Northern deserts in Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and neighboring states. Wild horses run through it; itinerant Irish sheepherders enrich it; all of the desert animals shyly and charmingly peep from its pages. Slow geological forces wend their relentless ways; the desert towns spring to life before your eyes and swiftly decay. The old-time cattle drives are clearly recalled. Here you learn what to look for and what to see in the desert. This book has no hero, except the desert itself. This wild, rough land does things to men who try to change it. 'The anvil wears the hammer out.' Little men withdraw into themselves and become smaller; mean men become meaner; but men with vision grow and expand to fit the wider vistas. So in the desert we have the worst and the best. Every page has its anecdote or quotable statement. There is enough material here to set up a TV writer for years. It is all purely American humor, becoming rare these days, since the snappy gag line has largely replaced the deeper, more subtle, more enjoyable humor you will find here. Almost everyone will like this book. It will charm and delight, and it will bring new knowledge of some kind." [via]

David James Duncan's first novel has gained an increasingly wide audience over the years--some might even call it a following. This coming-of-age tale of Gus Orviston's search for the Pacific Northwest's elusive steelhead, a metaphor for Gus's internal quest for self-knowledge, appeals to all who cherish a good yarn and memorable characters. Uncle Zeke's colorful rendition of Gus's conception on the banks of the Deschutes River is itself worth the price of purchase. [via]
