2016149445New York: Viking 2016. First edition of the New York Times bestselling author's second novel. Octavo original boards. Boldly signed by Amor Towles on the title page and with his custom-designed stamp of the Kremlin opposite the title page in red ink. Towles adopted the practice of adding a custom-designed stamp when signing his books as requests for signed copies soared with his books' popularity. Each stamp features a distinctive design designed by Towles himself often incorporating elements relevant to his novels such as the Kremlin for A Gentleman in Moscow and vintage car for Table for Two. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Nayon Cho. A Gentleman in Moscow follows Count Alexander Rostov an aristocrat sentenced to house arrest in the luxurious Metropol Hotel in post-revolutionary Moscow. Over the course of several decades Rostov navigates the dramatic political changes of Soviet Russia finding meaning and purpose in his relationships and the confined world of the hotel. “Beyond the door of the luxurious Hotel Metropol lies Theater Square and the rest of Moscow and beyond its city limits the tumultuous landscape of 20th-century Russia. The year 1922 is a good starting point for a Russian epic but for the purposes of his sly and winning second novel Amor Towles forgoes descriptions of icy roads and wintry dachas and instead retreats into the warm hotel lobby. The Metropol with its customs and routines is a world unto itself" New York Times Book Review. “Spread across four decades this is in all ways a great novel a nonstop pleasure brimming with charm personal wisdom and philosophic insight" Kirkus.

1967192911967. Columbia Pictures Corporation To Sir With Love 1967 documents the international emergence of Sidney Poitier as a defining figure in African American film history presenting a Black educator navigating race class and authority within a working-class London school. The film situates Poitier's character within an interracial classroom addressing discipline respect and social hierarchy and contributes to the study of Civil Rights-era screen representation and the global circulation of Black leadership figures in popular cinema.<br /> <br /> Archive of 8 original lobby cards issued by Columbia Pictures Corporation each measuring approximately 14 x 11 inches all in color.

Minor uniform half-inch holes to the lower right of each card slightly affecting image area; otherwise bright with light handling wear; overall very good. A cohesive visual group illustrating Sidney Poitier's role in shaping representations of Black authority in late 1960s cinema. unknown
