› Find signed collectible books: 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'
"Most people easily picture Twain's long white handlebar moustache and can practically hear his riverman's drawl. Readers know he's Samuel Langhorne Clemens, and he's Mark Twain, and they've painted fences right alongside Tom Sawyer. Any number of young men have had crushes on Becky Thatcher, and any number of young women have laughed at Huck Finn's way of threading a needle. But none of Twain's eleven novels, nine travel books, and countless short stories and essays would have achieved their status had he not first paid attention himself: to everyone and everything that lived in his world."

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Annotated Charlotte's Web'
When it was first published in 1994, The New York Times said: "The Annotated Charlotte's Web, a big, handsome facsimile of E. B. White's book, accompanied by Peter F. Neumeyer's notes and critical commentary, is just the right match of form and function. It is a conversation between the part of us that always reads for pure pleasure and the part that learned to read for intellectual enlightenment". More and more critical acclaim followed this comprehensive exploration of one of literature's best-loved classics. The Annotated Charlotte's Web includes information from White's original drafts, cross-references, letters, criticism, and literary-cultural commentary. For over forty years this great American novel has thrived without annotation. Now, however, these selected insights can bring us closer to the book's author, enrich our reading of the book itself, and shed a measure of light on the artistic process. [via]

First published in 1911 as The Book of Ceremonial Magic, this classic work explains the rites, mysteries and secret traditions of Witchcraft, Sorcery, and "Infernal Necromancy", and also explores Theurgy, the White Magic which invokes beneficent spirits. Presented in two parts, the first 'contains an analytical and critical account of the chief magical rituals known to the writer'; the second 'forms a complete Grimoire of Black Magic'. With illustrations and diagrams throughout, the author's mission, 'to permit the rituals of White and Black Magic to speak for themselves', is brilliantly accomplished in this extraordinary text.

Carlo Scarpa was a virtuoso of light, a master of detail, a connoisseur of materials. In his lifetime he was often dismissed as "merely" an artist who also wanted to build. Today, however, it is clear that his own brand of Modernism made him one of the 20th-century architectural greats. Scarpa taught at the Venice architectural faculty. Over a period of three decades he designed exhibitions in London, Paris, Rome and Milan, and regularly for the Biennale in Venice, his native city. The major contributions to his fame, though, were museum projects such as the Gipsoteca Canoviana in Possagno and the Museo di Castelvecchio in Verona. [via]

This catalogue reflects the work of Norman Foster, who was awarded the Pritzker Prize, the architectural equivalent of the Nobel Prize, and is a survey of the work of his practice with descriptions of more than 120 buildings and projects, from the 1960s into the new millennium. It explains the key features of the practice's most important work and covers the full range of its activities as urban planners, architects and industrial designers. The practice was responsible for the international airport at Chek Lap Kok, the largest construction projects ever undertaken and the rebuilding of the Reichstag in Berlin, considered to be one of the most important architectural commissions of recent years. Added to this are the Great Court at the British Museum, the Glasshouse at the National Botanic Garden of Wales and the Millennium Bridge in London. Forthcoming projects include the Headquarters for the Greater London Authority, Wembley Stadium, the Music Centre in Gateshead and the London Headquarters of Swiss Re. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'A History of Their Own: Women in Europe from Prehistory to the Present'
This classic two-volume history is an exciting and revolutionary look at women's history from prehistoric times to the present. Its unique organization focuses on the developments, achievements, and changes in women's roles in society. Rather than examining women's history as an inevitable progression of events along a strict timeline, this text is organized within a loose chronology, with chapters focusing on women's place and function in society. This revised edition provides a new introduction, an updated epilogue on women's lives in Europe since 1988, and a completely revised bibliography that includes recent scholarship. A History of Their Own restores women to the historical record, brings their history into focus, and provides models of female action and heroism. Lively and engaging, this new edition takes readers on a fascinating journey through women's history and the changing roles they have played. In addition it is an ideal text for general courses in women's studies and women's history and more specialized courses focusing on women in European history.
Volume Two covers the fifteenth century to the present. Topics include the roles of female monarchs and women of the court; the application of the new tools of the Scientific Revolution to prove traditional views of women; the salons and parlors of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and wealthy women's contributions to the arts and social services; the impact of city-living and the Industrial Revolution on women's roles and family life; and the emergence, evolution, and impact of the modern feminist movement.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ijp: The Book Of Surfaces.'
At a time when architectural discourse and practice are brimming with references to new geometries, ijp turns its back on the habitual perception of the 3D surface as a photosensitive, colourful and somewhat mystifying expanse. Instead, this experimental text approaches its subject through a joint meditation on abstraction, figuration, performance, symbology and form.
Several interdependent modes of writing convey a process of thought elaborated in parallel venues, which include theoretical essays on the literal and metaphoric meanings of superficial, statements of computer programming syntax, cooking recipes, printouts of data streams, indexical poetry, mathematical asides, and descriptions of numerically controlled fabrication processes -- all of which offer alternative descriptions of the very same thing: the surface as object of knowledge. A rigorous typographic treatment enhanced by custom-programmed graphics stylizes the most technical side of these various threads and weaves them into a coherent narrative for non-specialists. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Josep Lluis Mateo: Ideen Und Bauten/Ideas and Buildings 1992-1995'
The Catalonian architect Josep Lluis Mateo has contributed to the recent revival of international interest in the architecture of Spain, and especially that of Barcelona, rescuing it from the relative obscurity of the last decades. Building on the outskirts and in urban gaps, and designing in large contexts but with respect for detail - these are typical of Mateo's architectural style. The Technical School in the hills of Santa Coloma de Gramanet creates a highly visible band in the landscape, while the restoration of the north Catalonian town of Ullastret transformed a sad ruin into an architectural "still-life" of historical importance. After completing a series of university buildings, local centres, administrative and residential developments in and around Barcelona, Mateo followed a new path, especially with his project for the Paris Zoo. This volume documents 13 recent buildings and projects of Josep Lluis Mateo, including the development Joan Guell in Barcelona (1993), the residential building for the "Housing Festival" in The Hague (1993), the Court in Santa Feliu de Guixols (1994), the competition entries for the Zoo in Paris (1993), the Hypo-Bank in Munich and the "Lustgarten" in Berlin (1994), as well as his design for a tea service for Rosenthal.

In recent architecture theory and practise there has been a tendency to refer to exteriors as a skin concealing an interior, as opposed to the traditional and more physical concepts of surface, flatness, and depth. The computer now enables the architect to call his design into life, free from the rigid material form, and view it as a flexible and interactive creation. In this book, the concepts of flatness and surface tension are examined in the light of virtual design and built reality. A selection of projects are presented to show how the architects regard space and surfaces in modern architectural practice in a digital age. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The New York Trilogy: City Of Glass, Ghosts, The Locked Room'
First published in 1985â¬1986, The New York Trilogy (City of Glass, Ghosts, and The Locked Room) brought immediate international attention to its author, Paul Auster, and elevated him to near-celebrity status, particularly in France.
This trilogy and his many works since then (including In the Country of Last Words, Leviathan, Mr. Vertigo, Moon Palace, and others) have been translated into numerous languages and have brought him further world attention. Auster's trilogy broke ground in its mix of serious fictional techniques and detective and mystery genres. Geoffrey O'Brien of The Village Voice wrote: "The New York Trilogy are novels of desire: the desire to write a detective novel, to read one, to -inhabit it. . . . By turning the mystery novel inside out, Auster may have -initiated a whole new round of storytelling." This new edition will delight readers and collectors of Auster's work.

Stephanie Busuttil's second book inspired by a color, White takes you on a visual journey, allowing you to recognize white as not just a color but also as an aesthetic and moral value. From snow-topped glaciers to virginal conception. From Duchamp's porcelain urinal to the shrouds of the dead. From the peaceful white of the Zen gardens to the luminous white of Robert Morris. From the pure white of Fontana, Manzoni, LeWitt, Ryman or Twombly to the stained glass of Soulage. This book explores the multiple facets of this color and its relation to religion, the moon, flesh, emptiness and light. White can be perceived in many ways, as negative or positive space, as a background or foreground. A non-color, like the blank page itself, it remains elusive. With over 200 images, Stephanie Busuttil has selected powerful and varied images that all share white as the common factor. Pierre Sterckx, professor at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, introduces the book with an overview of the history of the color and its many incarnations. [via]

La ciudad de cristal, Fantasmas y La habitación cerrada, son las tres novelas que forman esta trilogia. En la primera, a Daniel Quinn, escritor de literatura policiaca, su interlocutor telefonico lo toma por un detective y le encarga un caso. Quinn se mete en el papel que le han adjudicado y se ve envuelto en una historia repleta de enigmas, complicadas relaciones paternofiliales, locura y delirio. En Fantasmas, un detective privado y el hombre al que tiene que vigilar juegan al escondite en un claustrofobico universo urbano. En la tercera novela, el protagonista se ve confrontado a los recuerdos de un amigo de infancia, cuando la mujer de este le escribe una carta explicandole que su marido ha desaparecido misteriosamente. Esta es sin dudas una de las obras mas memorables de los anos ochenta, uno de los cimientos sobre los que se sustenta el prestigio internacional de Paul Auster. [via]
