1994Best.-Nr. 203718Ladue Mo: Cane Curiosa Press 1994. Hardcover. VG. Only blemish is a small sticker on the front top right corner of the jacket. Quarto. Hardcover. Red cloth boards with gilt lettering in glossy jacket. 397 1 pages : illustrations some color ; 30 cm. Like spats canes were once integral to the well-dressed man's costume. Also like spats canes were often intended to impart a bit of grandeur or class. They came in all shapes sizes and forms and the variety of advertising uses to which they were put is as amazing as the detailed carving and inlay work they often displayed. These cane-ish facts Dike lets us feast our eyes upon for in order to accommodate scads of pictures she keeps the text terse as it is authoritative. Her tome's high points include sections on canes owned by U.S. presidents and canes related to secret societies and the picture of the cane that carries images of several popular actresses must be seen to be fully appreciated. At least as curious as the workmanship the canes display are the shapes and sometimes the materials of which they were made: does anyone on your Christmas list deserve a bull's penis walking stick Part collector's guide part cultural history Dike's effort is not only informative but also hours of browsing fun.

2018Best.-Nr. 200362New York NY: KARMA 2018. Hardcover. VG This book is in excellent condition. It appears unread. Grey and white color-illustrated DJ with black lettering; black boards with white lettering; 156 pp.; richly illustrated chiefly in color. This new book brings together oil paintings from the past two years by New York-based artist Dike Blair. Blair's still lifes of door locks ashtrays swimming pools hot dogs cigarette packets Dunkin' Donuts coffee cups and a variety of drinks and cocktails floral bouquets windows and light fixtures depict their subjects in painstaking fashion but also at an often oblique angle so that the viewer's gaze is directed both at and beyond the ostensible subject. As Helen Molesworth writes: "Every scene he paints--the waiting areas of airports bars the too-harsh incandescent light on the outdoor plants at night the blue sky out of a plane window the seams of windows that frame the view from the bed and leave us just a glimpse of the treetops the bare fluorescent bulbs on the ceiling--is generic . novelty is not what is at stake; familiarity is." -- WorldCat.
