The story of the creation of the world and of the the First Age this is the ancient drama to which the characters in THE LORD OF THE RINGS look back and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. The three Silmarils were jewels created by Feanor most gifted of the Elves. Within them was imprisoned the Light of the Two Trees of Valinor before the Trees themselves were destroyed by Morgoth the first Dark Lord. Thereafter the unsullied Light of Valinor lived on only in the Silmarils but they were seized by Morgoth and set in his crown which was guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth. THE SILMARILLION is the history of the rebellion of Feanor and his kindred against the gods their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth and their war hopeless despite all their heroism against the great Enemy. This second edition features a letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien describing his intentions for the book which serves as a brilliant exposition of his conception of the earlier Ages of Middle-earth." ; FINE/G <br/> <br/> Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1977 hardcover

The Sharpshooter Blues is in part an exuberant meditation on America's love affair with blue-steel barrels and snub-nose bullets and in part a heartbreaking look at the violence and loss that ensue when the guns come out to play one day in a small town. But most of all after the bullets have flown it's a story of love - between fathers and sons between husbands and wives between gay lovers and between longtime neighbors and friends. --Source: Publisher ; Lewis Nordan was born in Forest Mississippi on August 23 1939.

1963011463London: Hutchinson 1963. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good . Presentation copy from author and British swell Beverly Nichols 1898 - 1983 to art-collector artist inventor author designer and American swell Nancy Hays Hammond 1904-1985 on the ffe: "For N.H.H. With Christmas greetings from B. N.one of the many contributors of this little book. who.as she will learn inside is not. So distinguished as he how briefly how briefly imagines." Nichols contribution is a witty piece called "On Discovering that Jane Austen was One's Great-Great-Great-Aunt". Hammond does not appear; it seems that Nichol's inscription to Hammond is his typically arch way to perhaps ridicule the editorship of the book for not including an article that Hammond may have submitted. Book near fine dustjacket price-clipped. Nichols inscriptions aren't that common particulalrly considering how much he got published. Hutchinson hardcover books
