Reeves, Keanu; Mieville, China
The Book of Elsewhere: A Novel ~ SIGNED X 2 FIRST/FIRST
<p><em><strong>INCREDIBLY SCARCE SIGNED! ONE OF A KIND COLLECTIBLE!</strong></em> FIRST EDITION first printing STATED. Book is brand new and unread. Personally hand signed by both authors including Mr. Reeves directly to specially bound Publisher's signature page. NOT a bookplate. Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar for many worry free years of reading/collecting!</p><p>NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An "action-packed and profoundly stylish" Los Angeles Times epic from Keanu Reeves and China Miéville unlike anything these two genre-bending pioneers have created before inspired by the world of the BRZRKR comic books</p><p>"The Book of Elsewhere is a pulpy adrenaline-fueled thriller but it's also a moody experimental novel about mortality the slippery nature of time and what it means to be human."—The New York Times</p><p>"An exceptionally innovative collaboration from two remarkable minds."—William Gibson author of Neuromancer</p><p>She said We needed a tool. So I asked the gods.</p><p>There have always been whispers. Legends. The warrior who cannot be killed. Who's seen a thousand civilizations rise and fall. He has had many names: Unute Child of Lightning Death himself. These days he's known simply as "B."</p><p>And he wants to be able to die.<br /><br />In the present day a U.S. black-ops group has promised him they can help with that. And all he needs to do is help them in return. But when an all-too-mortal soldier comes back to life the impossible event ultimately points toward a force even more mysterious than B himself. One at least as strong. And one with a plan all its own.<br /><br />In a collaboration that combines Miéville's singular style and creativity with Reeves's haunting and soul-stirring narrative these two inimitable artists have created something utterly unique sure to delight existing fans and to create scores of new ones.</p> Del Rey hardcover

New York & London : Harper & Brothers Publishers 1937. 1937. Hardcover. Very Good. Illustrated by Sapojnikoff with cartoons throughout ; 317 pp. ; important psychological study of Chinese habits and consumer practices ; "No matter what you may be selling your business in China should be enormous if the Chinese who should buy your goods would only do so." But will they'. 400 Million Customers is essential reading for all foreigners seeking to do business in the booming economies of Asia and all analysts of globalization and cultural difference. Carl Crow opened the first western advertising agency in Shanghai and ran it for twenty-five years promoting everything from American lipsticks and moisturizers to French brandy and pharmaceuticals and nothing was straightforward. In this highly readable account of his work in Shanghai illustrated with delightful line drawings Crow uses anecdotes and examples to illustrate the particular challenges of doing business in China. In Crow's time no foreigners managed to dominate the Chinese market and today -- when the population of China has trebled - the question remains whether the country is a potential mass market for the west or a golden illusion.

Since Chinese immigration began in the mid-19th century names of immigrants and those of their descendants have been influenced by both Chinese and American name customs. The naming traditions of China are first presented. It is a base for understanding the numerous modifications that may happen to personal names in the interaction between cultures as diametrically opposed as Chinese culture can be from American culture "itself part of another great tradition Western civilization." One discovers that surnames are clues to Chinese dialect sounds that many have been Americanized that new surnames were created and that in more recent decades as the Chinese American population has grown new names practices developed and surnames have proliferated. Included are ideographs to surnames and an overview of their preservation by Americans of Chinese descent." ; a seminal study ; VG <br/> <br/> Jefferson, North Carolina ; London : McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers, 1998. hardcover
