20152311696New York: Clarkson Potter 2015. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. First printing. Minor general wear. 2015 Trade Paperback. 235 pp. "A heartbreakingly honest endearing memoir of incredible weight loss by a young food blogger who battles body image issues and overcomes food addiction to find self-acceptance. All her life Andie Mitchell had eaten lustily and mindlessly. Food was her babysitter her best friend her confidant and it provided a refuge from her fractured family. But when she stepped on the scale on her 20th birthday and it registered a shocking 268 pounds she knew she had to change the way she thought about food and herself; that her life was at stake. It Was Me All Along takes Andie from working class Boston to the romantic streets of Rome from morbidly obese to half her size from seeking comfort in anything that came cream-filled and two-to-a-pack to finding balance in exquisite but modest bowls of handmade pasta. This story is about much more than a woman who loves food and abhors her body. It is about someone who made changes when her situation seemed too far gone and how she discovered balance in an off-kilter world. More than anything though it is the story of her finding beauty in acceptance and learning to love all parts of herself. Clarkson Potter paperback books

Pamphlet from the exhibition of Mitchell's pottery October to November 1977. With a biographical essay a bw photo of Mitchell and a bw photo of 7 of her pots with annotations. Includes a brief commentary by the artist. "Mitchell was a trailblazer for the research work she did in the late 1960s and early 1970s on the pottery methods and designs used by Native people who once lived in the Southeastern United States including the ancestors of the Cherokee. In 1967 Mitchell began creating objects from clay that she and her husband Bob found in a pond near their Vinita home. In an interview with the Cherokee Phoenix in 2001 she said there was no guide for creating Cherokee pottery so she decided to reach back into the past with research to again create Southeastern and Eastern Woodlands-style pottery." - from Mitchell's obituary by Will Chavez 2012.

196761171bdEdinburgh: The Nature Conservancy 1967. Quarto paperbound stapled gold illustrated covers From Foreword: The purposes of this report are to review the main findings of the Nature Conservancy’s work on red deer and to draw attention to other work in progress. Nature Conservancy research on red deer began with a survey from 1953-1959 organised by Dr. Fraser Darling. This gathered information on the distrubition and abundance of red deer in Scotland by direct survey methods and demonstrated that red deer coud be counted. In six years this survey covered about 160000 acres of deer ground 112400 acres of recognised deer forest and 511000 acres of other land regularly occupied by red deer and 52653 deer were counted 16068 stags 26 242 hinds and 10 343 calves. Large scale deer surveys have now become the responsibility of the Red Deer Commission and up to the present time over half of the total ground regularly occupied by red deer over 3 million acres has now been surveyed. These extensive data are not discussed in this report since they have not yet been analysed in detail. When the island of Rhum was acquired in 1957 as a National Nature Reserve the Conservancy started managing a wild red deer population. This work was later supplemented by research on the mainland to gather comparative population data. The island and mainland deer programs are discussed in this report.
