First Edition. First Printing. Fine. Signed by Author. Dust Jacket - Not price clipped. This is an excellent signed first edition of Barry's Hannah's High Lonesome. The dust jacket is in excellent condition, and there are no visible marks on any pages. High Lonesome was the final short story collection published during the storied southern author's lifetime. Most readers and collectors look for earlier works like Geronimo Rex (1972) and Airships (1978), but High Lonesome was a significant work in its own right. It was the only work by Hannah to be nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. This final chapter in the author's life is the perfect addition to a collection featuring such a master of the short story form.

Hardcover. Fine. First Edition. First Printing. Dust Jacket - not price clipped. This is an excellent first edition of the reclusive author's anticipated fourth novel. It was published in 1990, almost 20 years after his National Book Award-winning and game-changing novel Gravity's Rainbow (1973). Vineland sparked strong reactions from critics and readers alike. Some hated it, and some loved it. Go back in time to 1990 with this impressive first edition - inlaid in the book are book review clippings circa 1990, collected by the original owner. Some consider Vineland to have been overshadowed by the impressive Mason & Dixon (1997). But Vineland is special in its own right, as an impressive return to the literary world for Mr. Pynchon. In his 1990 review, Salman Rushdie called it "that rarest of birds: a major political novel about what America has been doing to itself, to its children, all these many years."Go inside the mind of one of our most important living authors and see what he was thinking and… Leer más

Methuselah's Children by Robert Heinlein. First Edition. Very Good. Dust Jacket - Good Condition, Second State, Price Clipped. Gray Cloth Boards - Currey B Binding.

It is the Currey B Binding of the first edition with Gray Cloth Boards (which actually look like they are harder to come by online). The book itself is in very good condition, with slight browning to the pages (as is common with almost every first edition copy of this book) and a few almost unnoticeable stains.

First serialized in 1941, but later published in book form for the first time in 1958, Methuselah's Children is one of the more interesting novels written by Robert Heinlein. Known as the "Dean of Science Fiction," Heinlein was just at the beginning… Leer más

The Real War by Richard Nixon - Signed Deluxe Edition. Fine. Comes in Slipcase. This is a signed limited edition of The Real War (1980) by President Richard Nixon. It is in fine condition, with only a few slight markings on the slipcase. Comes complete with a letter from the publisher authenticating the signature.Just six years after he left office, Richard Nixon began his surprising ascent into the status of elder statesman with the publishing of The Real War. In it, he describes his views regarding what he considered the biggest threat to America at the time - the Soviet Union. It's an interesting, in-depth analysis of foreign policy and geopolitical realities, but also includes the sometimes strange Nixonesque style that America has come to know. He even finds a way, in the first few pages, to blame the 1960s counterculture for some of America's problems of the day. Nevertheless, The Real War addressed issues that would be center-stage during the Reagan years and surely influenced Soviet-facing… Leer más
