The Art of Falling ++ FIRST EDITION ++
UK. Stamp Publishing. 2003 0954487915 / 9780954487911 First edition. First printing. Softcover. As new. Very fine.
This novel was republished by Random House UK in 2005 under the Arrow imprint, making this self-published edition highly collectable. Some reviewers are saying that this book is as good as De Berniere's Captain Correlli's Mandolin or Faulks's Birdsong. Will this be one of the greatest novels of the 21st century?SYNOPSIS - A woman falls from a balcony in Pisa. When Isabel travels to Petriano for a ceremony to honour her war hero father Tom, she discovers that she is caught up in the tragic consequences of the accident. In the burnt and unstable landscapes of Umbria, Isabel finds echoes of Tom's past in her present that lead to the truth about his disappearance twenty years ago. As she finds a trail through his obsession with the famous leaning tower, she falls in love with a man who shares that passion - and comes to understand the flaws that tip the balance in all their lives, from the dark events of 1945, to a love affair that cannot be forgotten.

Colour is not new to book publishing but usually takes the form of separate colour plates. With this title, the colour is fully integrated throughout text of the book, a first in mainstream commercial publishing. The full colour first edition of Changeling is a beautiful book differing from the standard edition with colour title page and graphics throughout the book, the book also contains full colour journey map and full colour medieval chapter heading illustrations by Fred Van Deelen. In the days of the Kindle and other electronic publishing, it is really encouraging that publishers still value the physical book enough to produce an edition like this.

Roberto Bolano
2666 UK First Edition + Promotional Bookmark
United Kingdom Picador 2009 0330447424 / 9780330447423 First edition, first printing Hardcover New, fine New, fine Un-signed
First edition, first printing with full numberline 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Only weeks after it's release, this epic was already into its 5th printing with firsts becoming increasingly hard to find.
Also included is a 2666 promotional bookmark.
Synopsis
Santa Teresa, on the Mexico-US border, is an urban sprawl that draws in lost souls. Among them are three academics on the trail of a reclusive German author; a New York reporter on his first Mexican assignment; a widowed philosopher; and a police detective in love with an elusive older woman. But there is darker side still to the town. It is an emblem of corruption, violence and decadence, and one from which, over the course of a decade, hundreds of women have mysteriously, often brutally, disappeared.Told in five parts, "2666" is the epic novel that defines one of Latin America's greatest writers and his unique vision of the modern world. Conceived on an astonishing scale, and - in the last years of Roberto Bolano's life - with burning, visionary commitment, it has been greeted across Europe and Latin America as his masterpiece, surpassing even his previous work in inventiveness, imagination, beauty and scope. 'A tour de force - though the phrase seems hardly adequate to describe the novel's narrative velocity, polyphonic range, inventiveness, and bravery' - "New York Review of Books". 'One of the giants of the post-Marquez era' - "Sunday Telegraph". 'One of the greatest and most influential modern writers' - James Wood.

Seamus Heaney
DISTRICT AND CIRCLE Un-signed first edition
United Kingdom Faber 2006 0571230962 / 9780571230969 First edition. First printing Hardback New, fine New, fine
A Very fine hardback in a very fine dustwrapper. First edition, first printing. Went into reprint immediately from publication.
SYNOPSIS -
Seamus Heaney's new collection starts 'in an age of bare hands and cast iron' and ends 'as the automatic lock / clunks shut' in the eerie new conditions of a menaced twenty-first century. In their haunted, almost visionary clarity, the poems assay the weight and worth of what has been held in the hand and in the memory. Images out of a childhood spent safe from the horrors of World War II - railway sleepers, a sledgehammer, the 'heavyweight silence' of cattle out in rain - are coloured by a strongly contemporary sense that 'anything can happen' and other images from the dangerous present - a journey on the underground, a melting glacier - are fraught with this same anxiety. But "District and Circle", which includes a number of prose poems and translations, offers resistance as the poet gathers his staying powers and stands his ground in the hiding places of love and excited language. In a sequence like 'The Tollund Man in Springtime' and in several poems which 'do the rounds of the district' - its known roads and rivers and trees, its familiar and unfamiliar ghosts - the gravity of memorial is transformed into the grace of recollection. With more relish and conviction than ever, Seamus Heaney maintains his trust in the obduracy of workaday realities and the mystery of everyday renewals.
