Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Chip Kidd (illustrator). First Edition. [nice tight clean copy, no discernible wear, just a tiny bit of possible insect-nibbling at bottom edge of front pastedown; jacket minor smudge at top edge of front cover, faint shelfwear; jacket shows only some minor surface wear]. (endpaper maps) Using the same technique (of weaving a complicated narrative from the intersecting "real" lives of various film characters), critic/novelist Thomson here does the same thing for the American West that he did for 1940s America in his previous novel "Suspects." Where that novel was dark and pinched and obsessive (like a good film noir), this one is ambitious and expansive and elegaic (like a good Western). Thomson knows his stuff, movie-wise, and has both the imagination and the writing skills to pull it off. A terrific book.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Chip Kidd (illustrator). 2nd printing. [the teensiest bit of shelfwear to the book; none at all to the jacket]. (B&W photographs) This beautifully-produced bok presents "a tale of two cities, both called 'New York.' The first is a real city, an urban agglomeration of millions. The second is a mythic city, so rich in memory and association that to people everywhere it has come to seem real: the New York of films -- a magical city of the imagination that is as complex, dynamic, and familiar as its namesake of stone and steel. [The author] takes us from the tenement to the penthouse, from New York to Hollywood and back again, from 1896 to the present, all the while showing how the real and the mythic cities reflected, changed, and taught each other." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.****.

Lee Earle "James" Ellroy (born March 4, 1948) is an American crime fiction writer and essayist. Ellroy has become known for a telegrammatic prose style in his most recent work, wherein he frequently omits connecting words and uses only short, staccato sentences. In 1981, Ellroy published his first novel, Brown's Requiem, a detective story drawing on his experiences as a caddy. He then published Clandestine and Silent Terror (which was later published under the title Killer on the Road). Ellroy followed these three novels with the Lloyd Hopkins Trilogy, three novels centered on Hopkins, a police officer. Ellroy is currently writing a "Second L.A. Quartet" taking place during the Second World War, with some characters from the first L.A. Quartet and the Underworld USA Trilogy returning younger. The first book is called Perfidia and was released in 2014. Perfidia is a historical and crime fiction novel by American author James Ellroy. Published in 2014, it is the first novel in the second L.A. Quartet, referring to his four prior novels from the first L.A. Quartet. Perfidia was released September 9, 2014. The main characters are Hideo Ashida, a Japanese Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) chemist, Kay Lake, a young woman looking for adventure, the real life William H. Parker, a gifted LAPD captain with a drinking problem, and Dudley Smith, an LAPD sergeant born in Dublin, Ireland, and raised in Los Angeles. The novel is told in real time, covering 23 days with the dates and the time the chapters and events are occurring, as well as through Kay Lake's diary. An entry from Kay Lake's diary begins Perfidia, followed by a bootleg transmitter radio broadcast on Friday, December 5, 1941, being broadcast by real-life Gerald L. K. Smith. The first chapter introduces the reader to Hideo Ashida, on Saturday, December 6, 1941, at 9:08 am. Since many fictional and real-life characters appear in Perfidia, many from his prior novels, Ellroy added a dramatis personæ, which notes the previous appearances of characters in Perfidia, as well as short summaries for some of the characters. Perfidia was on The New York Times Best Sellers list for hardcover fiction at number 16 on September 28, 2014. It also was an Editors' Choice at The New York Times on September 12, 2014. Perfidia was also one of the eighty books nominated for the 2015 Folio Prize by the Folio Prize Academy. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.

First edition of this work unveiling the extraordinary stories behind seemingly ordinary books. Octavo, original publisher's cloth with gilt titles to the spine and front panel. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Foreword by Nicholas A. Basbanes. Jacket design by legendary designer Chip Kidd. In Provenance, Matthew Raptis, renowned rare book dealer and founder of Raptis Rare Books, examines how unassuming volumes can reveal extraordinary personal histories. Drawing on decades of experience in the rare book world, he reconstructs the lives and relationships of major figures in literature, politics, art, and culture through their books, highlighting what inscriptions, marginal notes, and private libraries disclose about intellectual habits, friendships, and inner lives. "Something we learn when studying provenance is that books, in a way, are itinerant pilgrims - they travel from place to place, and owner to owner, more often than not with stories to tell of their travels, a number of them you are about to enjoy in this book" (Nicholas A. Basbanes, Foreword).

Mariana Eleanor Gosnell (died March 23, 2012, aged 79) was an artist, journalist, photographer, pilot and book author originally from Columbus, Ohio. Gosnell graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Ohio Wesleyan University and also spent time at the Sorbonne in Paris. She worked for Newsweek Magazine for 25 years, as medicine and science reporter and editor, additionally contributing to Smithsonian and National Wildlife. In July 2016, a New York Times journalist live-streamed the discovery of some slide photographs by the side of a New York trash can, and in course discovered them to be Gosnell's original photographs. Derived from a Kirkus review: A pleasurable ride with aviatrix Gosnell on her leisurely summer odyssey, flying in to out-of-the-way airfields and seeing the US from a fresh perspective. Taking a three- month leave of absence from her reporter's job at Newsweek, she set out in her small, single-engine Luscombe Silvaire to hop-skip-and- jump to the West Coast and back. Gosnell had fallen in love with flying during a summer vacation in Kenya. On the cross-country trip described here--stopping off at familiar and unfamiliar places, dropping in on friends, hiking and backpacking when the mood struck, exploring caves, spending the nights in her sleeping bag and as often as not under the wing of her beloved little plane--Gosnell saw America as few do: the ocean shores, the Mississippi, the Rockies, the Great Plains, and terrain both benign and terrifying. The characters she met were as interesting as the sights--among them, crop-dusters, tow-plane pilots, fire spotters, flight instructors, trading-post managers, cave specialists, and, of course, the FBOs (fixed-base operators). A notable stop on the way back was at Columbus, Ohio, for a homecoming visit. Gosnell is in love with flying, and we are ensnared by her enthusiasm. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Illustrated by (cover design) Chip Kidd (illustrator). First Edition. [nice clean copy, but with a number of small indentations in the front cover and slight wear along its right edge]. Trade PB INSCRIBED by the author on the title page to film director Andre de Toth: "To / Andre De Toth / you ruled / film noir!", followed by his usual scrawly "signature." A paperback original, this "vivid portrait of James Ellroy's L.A. landscape" collects his investigative non-fiction articles from GQ Magazine and also includes two new novellas, "Hollywood Shakedown" and "Tijuana Mon Amour." This copy documents a nice association between an author who writes so vividly about L.A.'s underbelly, particularly during the 1950s, and a director who made some of the most hard-hitting films of that decade, among them the one from which Ellroy apparently stole the title for his book: CRIME WAVE (1954), starring Sterling Hayden as one of the hardest-boiled movie cops ever, which made use of extensive L.A. location shooting.
