2007ref. ABE-2045617304Rookery Overlook NEW YORK 2007 1st Edition 1st Printing of this wonderful Literary Noir which has prompted comparisons with Charlie Huston Duane Swierczynski John Ridley James Crumley and James Ellroy. But this man's voice is none of these; he is a true original. SIGNED by Christopher Goffard on the Title Page. AUTHOR'S 1ST NOVEL and a 2008 EDGAR AWARD NOMINEE for BEST FIRST NOVEL. The author is a former Times feature writer. Snitch Jacket has sentences that sing and the book had a starred review in Publishers Weekly: "In Goffard's impressive debut a darkly comic romp through the Southern California underworld Benny Bunt a 41-year-old dishwasher finds his main escape in the Greasy Tuesday a blue-collar bar in Costa Mesa. Among the recidivist misfits his is a harmless familiar face. What they don't know is that Benny is a snitch who earns pocket money by ratting out his buddies to the cops. Enter one Gus "Mad Dog" Miller a massive bearded Vietnam vet covered with prison tattoos; Gus holds court at the bar with outrageous tales of his exploits military and criminal. Gus soon becomes Benny's best friend and seeks his assistance in a contract killing. Only problem is the police "botch" their surveillance and Benny ends up taking the fall for a double homicide committed at the Howling Head festival in the Mojave desert. Goffard's prose shimmers with intelligence and humor and he has a keen ear for telling detail. Fans of such cultish neo-noir scribes such as Charlie Huston and Duane Swierczynski will be richly rewarded. Oct." This is a prime collectable of a writer shooting for the stars.

With 7 colour & 178 black-and-white photographs including various gatefolds and fold-outs. Publisher's black cloth and yellow printed spine and color printed photographic dust-jacket. First edition, first and only printing of Yasuhiro Ishimoto's critically acclaimed photobook "Someday, Somewhere" "ある日ある所". Yasuhiro Ishimoto's work represented an influential link between japanese and american photography. With this book, published in 1958, he had the distinction of producing the first major postwar Japanese photobook shot in both Tokyo and Chicago. In between he published this, his first book, and the first important work to emerge from the group. Ishimoto occupies an interesting position in the history of Japanese photography and was another important link between the East and West. Born in San Francisco in 1921, he moved with his family to Japan at the age of three. After graduating from high school he went back to San Francisco to study. A year later, as a result of the war, he was sent to an internment camp in Colorado for Japanese citizens and those of Japanese descent. It was here that his interest in photography began. After the war Ishimoto went to Chicago and studied at the Institute of Design under Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. He graduated in 1952 and returned to Japan the following year, although he continued to travel between the two countries. Someday, Somewhere contains photographs from both Chicago and Tokyo, and clearly shows the influence of his time studying with Callahan and Siskind.
