Dust jacket hand covered in protective archival grade Mylar for many worry free years of reading/collecting! Bryan Ferry's evocative lyrics of aspiration and romantic longing introduced by the author and published on the 50th anniversary of the first Roxy Music album. Bryan Ferry's work as a singer and songwriter both as a solo artist and with Roxy Music is legendary. Lyrics collects the words written for music across seventeen albums from the first iconic Roxy album of 1972 via the masterpiece of Avalon to 2014's reflective Avonmore introduced by the author and with an insightful essay by James Truman. All the classic Roxy anthems are here—'Virginia Plain' 'Do the Strand' 'Love is the Drug' 'The Thrill of it All'—songs in which the real and the make-believe blend in a kaleidoscopic mix shot through with cinematic allure. Also included are the evocative lyrics of romantic longing and lost illusions for which Ferry is rightly revered: 'Slave to Love' 'Mother of Pearl' 'More Than This.' As he writes in his preface 'The low points in life so often produce the most keenly felt and best-loved songs.' And it might be added some of the best poetry. Random House hardcover

Tight and handsome copy of this charitable institution's five-year report chronicling all of the causes and organizations to which they had given funds -- with a unique autographic twist: Founder and philanthropist Wilbur Hugh "Ping" Ferry 1910-95 signs and inscribes the half-title page boldly in blue fineline not once but twice! Above the half-title he pens: "For John Beecher -- who will / understand the DJB Foundation / better then 99.99% of his / fellow-citizens -- / Ping" Below the half-title he adds: "This tells who we've been / doing & continue to do in far / more modest fashion as non- / foundationeers & Compliments as / always on a busy & effective / life -- / warm wishes -- / P." BEECHER 1904-80 was a noted social protest poet and fine press publisher whose work and interests clearly piqued Ferry's interest. A most unusual copy. Ferry was among other things an English instructor at Choate and one of his pupils was John F. Kennedy who used to call him "creeping Wilbur. The DJB Foundation paperback
