Build Your Library

A few exceedingly rare 1st editions have become available.

(Darwin's "Origin of Species)

Prices for 1st editions have suffered a bit since the market downturn of 2008 clipped the number of wealthy in America by about 14% in numbers. There was a glut at the antiquarian shops across the country, as many turned to emptying their libraries first, as a method of raising funds.

Their loss is our gain. 

(9th edition Encyclopedia Brittainica)

I highly recommend any serious collector obtain these books, and at any cost.

Jane Austen the Remix

Seth Grahame-Smith's "Pride & Prejudice and Zombies" has already won every book award conceivable (save the Pulitzer) since it's April 2009 publication, but the novel will have a far-reaching impact on the broader culture of mass media.

Already, Natalie Portman is scheduled to star in the movie adaptation, other classic novels are in the works and, if publishers weekly is to be believed, re-makes of every classic movie, with zombies added, are in the offing.

My personal prayer is for "It's A Wonderful Life and Zombies." They can work at the bank with Mr. Potter.

A well-rounded man knows a good conversation topic, for parties, when he sees it.

Capturing this amazing eden from a helicopter, over a series of 13 months, Poliza affords us access to an Africa as we have never seen her before.
