5 pp. Folio (355 x 280 mm.). Notated in pencil with additional markings in coloured ink. Signed and dated 2007. Tsontakis studied with Hugo Weisgall, Felix Greissle, and Roger Sessions. His honours include the Charles Ives Living Award, the Grawemeyer, two Kennedy Center Friedheim Awards (1989, 1992), a lifetime achievement award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (1995), a Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship, (1996) and numerous commissions. "[His] early works are written in a dissonant chromatic idiom not unlike that of Sessions. His musical language soon shifted, however, towards a classically-influenced style characterized by large-scale harmonic prolongations and what he calls 'the timeless gesture', a reference to the past through evocation rather than quotation.

Genesis Publications, 2019. 1st Ed. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 9x0x10. Signed. LIMITED EDITION SIGNED BY RINGO! Authenticity guaranteed by Genesis Publications.

International buyers should request a shipping quote before buying; book is very heavy. Signed by author.

SIGNED BY RINGO STARR WITH HIS FULL NAME and professionally authenticated by PSA/DNA. Comes with their full Letter of Authenticity. NOT personalized to anyone. This is a 128-page booklet-style softcover in very good condition, published by Wild & Wooley (Australia) in 1982 and thus a true 1st edition. Please carefully examine my photos: the cover remains strikingly appealing although close examination reveals several creases notably along the right side. The interior is clean and bright and still looks pretty much unblemished. Overall, in my opinion, remarkable condition for a 41 year old softcover. Ringo signed on page 8 just above a photo of the band; please note how extremely difficult it is to find a Ringo autograph WITH HIS FULL NAME (ie. "Starr" is fully spelled out). Even scarcer to find his autograph guaranteed authentic by the most respected independent authenticator in the world. Expedited and international shipping are welcome.

Viking, 2010. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 11x9x1. Signed. LIMITED EDITION #41 SIGNED BY BARBRA STREISAND and complete with original packaging. One of only 500 copies in existence. Brand new and pristine. What truly sets this book apart is the autograph: Barbra rarely signs anything so uncovering an authentic Streisand signature is very difficult; over 95% of the listings on are forgeries. And when she does sign, it's almost always with her first name only. These limited editions offer not only a full-name autograph but indisputable authenticity. Expedited shipping is welcome; international please request a shipping quote prior to purchase due to weight. Signed by author.
