Basbanes Nicholas A
Patience & Fortitude: A Roving Chronicle of Book People Book Places and Book Culture
New York: Perennial HarperCollins 2003 The obsessive passion people have had over the past twenty-five hundred years to possess books is commonly known as bibliomania. Basbanes expands the meaning focusing on the more comprehensive concept of book culture. Visiting many key 'book places' around the world he talks with a striking variety of kindred spirits each one a living testament to the unending relevance of these essential artifacts in our lives. He explores the changing form of the book over the centuries and describes the nature of the institutions that have evolved to contain them including acedmic public private and national repositories. He documents many pertinent book stories that have not been told before and offers unprecedented depth to others that have barely scratched the surface. He profiles the experiences and thoughts of all kinds of dedicated 'book people' be they librarians readers writers bookmakers booksellers preservationists or collectors. 603p. 1st Pbk Edition. Trade Paperback. As New. Perennial HarperCollins paperback

Markopoulos Gregory J.
Quest for Serenity: journal of a Film-Maker
New York: Filmmaker's Cinematheque 1965 Issue 1 of Monograph series from Film-makers' Cinematheque. Inscribed by author on title page # 127 of 1000 copies. Transcripts from Markopoulos' diary regarding the filming of "Serenity"and the subsequent problems "Serenity it was based on a novel by Elias Venezis depicting the aftermath of the Greco-Turkish conflict of 1920-21. Revolving around the symbolic image of a rose garden the film was to take place largely in the memory of its principal female character the wife of an idealistic young physician exiled in the postwar diaspora. Color shooting finally began in 1958 under trying conditions some scenes could only be filmed in one take with a soundtrack recorded in English Greek German and Russian. A first version was then edited in Rome. After that a dire truly Byzantine struggle with the film's producers ensued that lasted over two years exhausting and discouraging the filmmaker. During that time he continued to work on scenarios three of which would be the bases of his major works of the 1960s. A trucated version of Serenity was finally premiered at Spoleto in 1961 and a longer edit was shown three times in the U.S. before disappearing entirely forfeited by the director in return for his fee. It has not been seen since" Inscribed by author on title page . Signed by Author. First Edition. Softcover. Near Fine. Filmmaker's Cinematheque unknown

Tsiriotakis Helen
A House of White Rooms
Toronto: Coach House Books 2000 'Reading A House of White Rooms is like strolling through a house of memory where every poem every page is another white room. The writing is lyrical spare inventive - it will take you through family through love through history and bring you to a place where memory is reality. Whether Tsiriotakis is wandering the foothills of Greece or the valleys of love her language is fresh and thoughtful; she rolls it around on your tongue as though it were at the same time profoundly familiar and completely foreign. Rich and dense as baklava smooth and sharp as olive oil Tsiriotakis's poetry is absolutely unforgettable.' 72p. 1st Can Ed. Soft Cover. As New. Coach House Books paperback
