Pristine condition. Collectible. Giftworthy. Decorative Soft Cover. "An extraordinary, incendiary debut from a rare new talent, Vellum showcases a complex and sophisticated level of writing coupled with a fecund imagination that defies description. VELLUM: THE BOOK OF ALL HOURS. It's 2017 and angels and demons walk the earth. Once they were human; now they are unkin, transformed by the ancient machine-code language of reality itself. They seek The Book of All Hours, the mythical tome within which the blueprint for all reality is transcribed, which has been lost somewhere in the Vellum - the vast realm of eternity upon which our world is a mere scratch."FENNER, CATHY AND ARNIE >> SPECTRUM 7 >> $35; from Underwood, the best in fantasy, horror and SF art from 2000, including work by all of your favorites.

Really great photos. Could be used as postcards or you could keep it as a tiny coffee table book.LEVINE, STACEY >> FRANCIS JOHNSON >> $10, Clear Cut Press, softcover, really small format novel, 2005: Frances Johnson doesn't want to attend the town dance. But there is pressure. The people of Munson, her small Florida town, make their needs known: Ray, her boyfriend who is overfocused on world history; Mal, the horsey, earnest, fry cook at Mal's Pico Diner, who offers her his cabin; Palmer, the town doctor who can find no cure for the mysterious scar Frances bears; her mother, speaking to her through the mechanical screeching of Munson's patched telephone lines. Nearby, a volcano spews lava and stones, lighting the night sky with its portentous burning. At once measured and suspenseful, Frances Johnson is a comedy of manners in the tradition of Jane Bowles. Lovely design, with ribbon. A lovely little book from one of my favorite publishers. And the author is a great writer.BUCHNER, GEORG >> LENZ >> $38; Archipelago Books, a lovely, pristine first edition trade paperback with French flaps from this amazing book-maker. Georg Buchner's visionary exploration of an 18th century playwright's descent into madness, grew in part out of Alsatian pastor Oberlin's journal, which is translated here in its entirety for the first time. Lenzis a dispassionate account on the nervous system of a schizophrenic, perhaps the first third-person text ever written from the "inside" of insanity. At his death at the age of 23 in 1837, Georg Buchner also left behind Leonce and Lena, Woyzeck, and Danton's Death--psychologically and politically acute plays well ahead of their time. Richard Sieburth's translations include Friedrich Holderlin's Hymns and Fragments, Walter Benjamin's Moscow Diary, Gerard de Nerval's Selected Writings and Henri Michaux's Emergences/Resurgences. Includes the German and the English.ZAMORA, LOIS PARKINSON >> MAGICAL REALISM >> $30; new from Duke, in pristine condition, in a first edition.
