Press hardcover (blue boards) & dust jacket (in mylar cover), supposedly the "revised" edition. There are only 2 B&W photos that I have found. CONTENT: The story of that amazingly influential and still somewhat mysterious woman, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has the dramatic interest of a novel. She was at the very center of the rich culture and clashing politics of the 12th century. Richest marriage prize of the Middle Ages, she was Queen of France as the wife of Louis VII, and went with him on the exciting and disastrous Second Crusade. Inspiration of troubadours and trouveres, she played a large part in rendering fashionable the Courts of Love and in establishing the whole courtly tradition of medieval times.

Simon & Schuster, 1992. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. Surprisingly, no illustrations. CONDITION: UNREAD 1992 Simon & Schuster hardcover (blue boards) & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. Deckle edges. No illustrations. Introduction by Jan Morris. CONTENT: I have always had a problem with the term "lyrical" being applied to non-fiction works. I was wrong. THIS is lyrical - just not on each page. Australian novelist Keneally brings his lively imagination to bear on the American Southwest. This is a sometimes sketchy account of a midwinter swing, by car and cross-country skis, through Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. Keneally doesn't talk to people much, and his reactions to landscapes can be predictable: ``Maybe religion is so strong in this landscape because this is terrain which puts the human in his place.'' But as in The Playmaker and Schindler's List, history is what moves him. He offers lively capsule biographies of figures who sum up an impulse, an era, a… Read More

CONDITION: NEW 2003 Da Capo Press trade paperback, first paperback edition, 12th printing. Includes Reader's Guide. 2 B&W era photo sections plus B&W maps. CONTENT: June 6, 1944: Nineteen boys from Bedford, Virginia -- population just 3,000 in 1944 -- died in the first bloody minutes of D-Day.

Holiday House, 2001. 1st Edition Assumed 1st. Hardcover. New/New. Katya Krenina. CONDITION: NEW 2001 Holiday House hardcover (blue boards) & DJ (in mylar jacket), first edition, assumed first printing. Tiny tiny edge wear to DJ top spine. The color illustrations by Katya Krenina are beautiful in jewel tones. CONTENT: Based on a tale attributed to the 18th-century Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav, this luminously rendered story centers on a tailor named Haskel who lives in Tzafat (one of the four holy cities of Israel, long associated with Jewish mysticism). One night Haskel dreams that the moon comes to him, wishing for a cloak to keep herself warm, and Haskel vows to make her one. When he wakes up, he says, "Dream or not, I will keep my promise." Although his uncle, a master tailor, tells him to "stop chasing dreams," Haskel dedicates himself to his goal, and when he hears of a legendary garment that stretches or shrinks to fit the wearer, he sets out to find it, in a journey that takes him first to China… Read More

Feiwel/Macmillan , 2012. 1st Edition . Hardcover. New/New. Andrew Glass. CONDITION: NEW 2012 Feiwel/Macmillan large hardcover (pictorial boards) & DJ, first edition, first printing. Spectacular color illustrations by Andrew Glass. Decorated end pages of old ship's map of the world. Gold Foil lettering front DJ cover. This is a fantastic book, IMHO. CONTENT: Magnificent paintings in oil and pencil accompany a jaunty retelling in verse of the classic novel. Recounted in the first person by Ishmael, the text, with the lilt of a sea chantey, captures the essence of the original plot, though the rhyme scheme occasionally falters. Whaling lingo such as "Leviathan" and "parmacetti" gives an authentic flavor to the tale and is well defined in the glossary. This bare-bones version is all action with little ability to develop any thematic subtlety or character motivation, but all the elements are in place, including the suitably fierce Captain Ahab. The large format dramatically… Read More
