Paci F. G Frank Gilbert
Black Madonna: A Novel
Ottawa: Oberon Press 1982 "The story begins with the death of Babbo whom readers will remember from "The Italians" and ends with thre death of his widow the Black Madonna. Joey and his sister are left alone. without a past or a future naked in a world to which neither of them quite belongs" Frank G. Paci is an Italian Canadian novelist .He was born in Pesaro Italy 1948 and immigrated to Canada with his parents in 1952 where they settled down in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario. In the Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature Joseph Pivato describes him as "the most important Italian-Canadian novelist writing in English both because of the number of his publications and the consistent quality of his writing".Frank Paci has demonstrated a sustained commitment to his art and a determination both to enunciate his own history and to provide a voice for those around him so often characterized by silence. In so doing he has enriched the fabric of our national literature and mapped out and testified to a previously unexpressed dimension of the culture of Sault Ste. Marie.' In 1989 he became the first writer to hold the Mariano A. Elia Chair in Italian-Canadian Studies at York University. 198p. Slight scuffing of paper wraps. .Author inscription on title page.

Christmas Stories
New York: Everyman's Library 2007 Christmas Stories is a treasury of short fiction by great writers of the past two centuriesfrom Dickens and Tolstoy to John Updike and Alice Munro. As a literary subject Christmas has inspired everything from intimate domestic dramas to fanciful flights of the imagination and the full range of its expression is represented in this wonderfully engaging anthology. Goblins frolic in the graveyard of an early Dickens tale and a love-struck ghost disrupts a country estate in Elizabeth Bowens "Green Holly" The plight of the less fortunate haunts Chekhovs "Vanka" and Willa Cathers "The Burglars Christmas" but takes a boisterously comic turn in Damon Runyons "Dancing Dans Christmas" and in John Cheevers "Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor" From Vladimir Nabokovs intensely moving story of a fathers grief in "Christmas" to Truman Capotes hilarious yet heartbreaking "A Christmas Memory" from Grace Paleys Jewish girl starring in the Christmas pageant in "The Loudest Voice" to the dysfunctional family ski holiday in Richard Fords ""Cr�che" each of the stories gathered here is imbued with Christmas spirit of one kind or another and all are richly and indelibly entertaining.

Epstein Jason
Book Business: Publishing: Past Present and Future
New York: W. W. Norton & Company 2001 Jason Epstein has led arguably the most creative career in book publishing during the past-century. In 1952 he created Anchor Books which launched the so-called quality paperback revolution and established the trade paperback format. In the following decade he was co-founder of the New York Review of Books. In the 1980s he created The Library of America and The Reader's Catalog the precursor of on-line bookselling. In this short book based on his W. W. Norton Lectures given at the New York Public Library in October 1999 he discusses the severe crisis facing the book business today -- a crisis that affects writers and readers as well as publisher -- and looks ahead to the radically transformed industry that will revolutionize the idea of the book as profoundly as the introduction of movable type did five centuries ago. slight chip on dj else fine. 1st US Edition.

Petroski Henry
The Book on the Book Shelf
New York: A.A. Knopf 1999 Henry Petroski turns to the subject of books and bookshelves and wonders whether it was inevitable that books would come to be arranged vertically as they are today on horizontal shelves. As we learn how the ancient scroll became the codex became the volume we are used to we explore the ways in which the housing of books evolved. Petroski takes us into the pre-Gutenberg world where books were so scarce they were chained to lecterns for security. He explains how the printing press not only changes the way books were made and shelved but also increased their availability and transformed book readers into books owners and collectors. He shows us that for a time books were shelved with their spines in and it was not until after the arrival of the modern bookcase that the spines faced out. In delightful digressions Petroski lets Seneca have his say on "the evils of book collecting"; examines the famed collection of Samuel Pepys only three thousand titles: old discarded to make room for new; and discusses bookselling book buying and book collecting through the centuries. Richly illustrated and wonderfully written this is the ultimate book on the book: how it came to be and how we have come to keep it. Softcover. Near Fine. A.A. Knopf unknown

Busby Brian ed
In Flanders Field: And Other Poems of the First World War
London & Toronto: Arcturus Publishing/ Indigo Books 2005 "Few people alive today had direct experience of the First World War and yet it seems embedded in the collective consciousness of the combatant nations as a warning to future generations of the futility of military conflict. Our awareness of the terror loneliness and desperate hope endured by the men who fought this war we owe to the quality of the art that came out of it not least the poetry. Despite the passage of time its ability to move and inspire us remains undimmed as this superb new compilation richly demonstrates. Selected from the work of soldiers killed in action--starting with Rupert Brooke in 1915 and ending with the tragic loss of Wilfred Owen seven days before the Armistice--the poems capture a broad range of emotions contemplations and states of mind ranging from anthems about the brutality of war to wistful evocations of home and loved ones left behind. This collection showcases some of the best poetry to emerge from the conflict and stands as a worthy memorial to the collective talent and sacrifice of those who gave their lives." 192p.illus. An attractive volume for a gift wtrh a red ribbon bookmark. First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. Arcturus Publishing/ Indigo Books hardcover
