New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Allison Bartlett Hoover</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Penguin Canada</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9780143168249</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2010</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 288</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> People have been collecting—and stealing—books since even before Gutenberg invented the printing press. Internationally according to Interpol rare book theft is more widespread than fine art theft. In The Man Who Loved Books Too Much Allison Hoover Bartlett takes us deep inside the world of rare books and tells the cat-and-mouse story of two men caught in its allure. She introduces us to John Gilkey an unrepentant obsessive book thief and Ken Sanders the equally obsessive self-styled “bibliodick†a book-dealer turned amateur detective. While their goals are at direct odds both men share a deep passion for books and a fierce determination—Gilkey to steal books; Sanders to stop him.As Bartlett tells the suspense-filled story of Sanders's hunt for Gilkey she also delves into the underlying question of why books have such a lasting fascination for us collector and lay reader alike.</p> Penguin Canada hardcover

First Edition/First Printing. 395 pages. The first volume of the author's "My Struggle" six-volume novel. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United Kingdom. The translation is published in the United Kingdom as "A Death In The Family" and also as part of the British "My Struggle" six-volume cycle. It's the other way around in the United States where "My Struggle" takes precedence over the individual volumes. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that sold out shortly after publication. The First Edition is now rare. The production values of the British Edition are superior in every respect to its American counterpart. Presents Karl Ove Knausgaard's "Min Kamp" Volume One in a felicitous English translation. About this father and this son. What is the significance of Karl Ove Knausgaard's "My Struggle" It is the most full-fledged break from the mannerism academicism post-modernism and all the other pretentious and tired isms of our time. It confirms the arrival of a major and original voice in world literature writing in deceptively simple yet eloquent prose without crutches. It rejects our obsession with "celebrity lives" by focussing on the tiniest details of one man's ordinary life as well as deeply painful struggle. An absolute "must-have" title for Karl Ove Knausgaard collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Karl Ove Knausgaard. It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. Even more important Knausgaard's signature on this copy is one of the best we have ever seen - considering that his serpentine signature does change quite a bit. This title is a great book. This is one of very few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing British still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Extreme demand and time constraint have made Knausgaard resort to an Ondaatje-like swirl of a signature. Copies signed in this drastically abbreviated way have no collectible value.

At the same time he sees his friends one by one publish their debuts. He suspects that he will never get anything published.

20009504Berkeley CA: Blood Root Press 2000. One of 135 copies all on Frankfurt Cream and Deep Green Ingres paper in three colors each hand numbered and signed by the author / artist / printer Jean Buescher and the calligrapher Nancy Leavitt. Page size: 4-3/4 inches x 6-1/2 inches; 20 pages. Bound by Jean Buescher: hand-made papers by Anne Marie Kennedy of raw flax and cotton rag cover papers over boards framed and pigmented pale blue and red oxide; appliqué and embroidery by Jean Buescher in shape of glove outlined with hem stitch in white and vase in blue outlined in black basting stitch; second vase on its side outlined in black chain stitch exposed spine guards of Red Roma paper.

Letter press printed by Jean Buescher from metal engravings of Nancy Leavitt's original calligraphy in blue/gray pink/red and brown on green and cream colored papers; printing accomplished on a Vandercook Universal I at the Digger Pine Press. Nancy Leavitt's beautiful calligraphy is elegantly spaced bringing life to Jean Buescher's tender words. Art critic Maureen Bloomfield has written of Ms. Buescher's work "The energy.emanates from the interval; the space between act and aftermath; desire and effect. That her poems are thus often about space and the corresponding sensation and suspension of time makes me feel as if her work is best read not in typescript but in the context of a handmade book." In this book the combination of Nancy Leavitt's art is securely intertwined with that of Jean Buescher's - making it a distinct pleasure to hold view and read. Blood Root Press unknown books
