[Signed] [First Edition] Who Discovered America? The Amazing Story Of Madoc Signed and Inscribed by Zella Armstrong Zella Armstrong [Used - Good]
230.18 CAD
Original Good First American 1950 Tennessee. Lookout Publishing Company Edition. No dust jacket Signed and with long Inscription to a British/Welsh gentleman who moved to Chattanooga 1n 1947. Amazing rare Tennessee book filled with color photos, maps and drawings dedicated to Prince Madoc and the Welsh and their migrations, forts and battles wih native nations in the thirteenth century. True or not, clearly, "Something" happened and the persistant stories of Welsh Celtic speaking "Indians" for centuries is clearly intriguing. One of the best and most reliable to me is the Welsh signer of the Declaration of Independence Francis Lewis who spoke Welsh (From Wales) and Gaelic for that matter, both Irish and Scottish, whose story in the French and Indian war of being saved from being scalped at Fort Otswego by his hearing and then speaking with his Cymraeg speaking Native guards is quite compelling. After his passing George Wasington said of him "He was a right and prudent Whig" Book has much staining on the cover but internally none, Slight rubs of surface paint at heel of spine, but binding tight and clean pages and NOT a library book. This by a small Southern regional publisher in 1950 with tremendous amount of oral lore from Alabama, Geogia, and Tennessee of forts and native traditions. Here with quite rare signature and inscription by the author. See all seven of our Three Geese In Flight Celtic Book's Scans

Michael Chabon studied under Kinder in the 1980s and remembered seeing the "monolithic pile of white paper" in his office: "You could see it. You could touch it. Twenty years ago, it was already this legendary thing." Chabon fictionalized Kinder and his unfinished magnum opus as Grady Tripp, the protagonist of his 1995 novel Wonder Boys, played by Michael Douglas in the 2000 film adaptation. Kinder finally published his own novel in 2001, the year Chabon was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.
[Signed] [First Edition] 'Winnie-the-Pooh', UK first edition with amazing signed Milne letter discussing Christopher Robin Milne, A.A.
6949.23 CAD
Alan Alexander Milne (1926) 'Winnie-the-Pooh', UK first edition, first printing, published by Methuen. Together with an original handwritten Milne letter of amazing content where Milne discusses Christopher Robin (see below). The letter: two pages on one sheet, dated December 20, 1942; Cotchford Farm, Sussex. A.A. Milne pens about his son Christopher Robin, Catalyst of the "Winnie the Pooh" stories at war in Iraq and wishing he were home Description: Single page ALS written on verso and recto, note paper, 5? x 8?. Edges lightly creased, with one 2mm intact tear. Light foxing to edge of upper and lower edges outside of margins and not affecting text. Dated "20/xii/42" and signed "Ever Blue". Near fine. A wonderful letter by Milne written to his long time friend, Vincent Seligman ('Vi"). Milne's letter discusses Pat, his "treasure" who was now posted to a RAF just outside of Bristol in the midst of WWII, and his son Christopher Robin who is in Iraq. Milne shows his incredible attachment and fondness towards his son (who he has nicknamed Moon), which is reflected in his comment when he responds to a quote from Christopher: "He (Christopher) writes: " But I am well and happy, or what more can we want?" with Milne's response as "I want him home again, that's what!". The apparent attachment of the father/son relationship shows quite strongly in the letter, yet one feels a sense of melancholy as the reader knows the fleeting warmth in this familial bond was destined to change. In the following years there would be a dramatic shift in the nature of the father/son relationship. It was after the war, when Christopher was in his mid to late twenties that his resentment of his father came to a head. Christopher had tried several jobs but failed to find a niche and held his parents somehow responsible for his plight. He came to believe that his father "had got where he was by climbing on my infant shoulders, that he had filched from me my good name and had left me with nothing but the empty fame of being his son." It had reached a point of such an emotional barrier for Christopher that he hardly had any contact with his father, and rarely saw him. This is a sharp, hollow contrast to the idyllic ending that one would prefer to imagine for Christopher Robin and A.A. Milne, one where the reader would prefer to imagine instead that "in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing". The lengthy letter also touches upon WWII, and Milne's postscript comment that "we're winning". The book: One of 30,000 first edition copies printed. Green cloth binding with charming Ernest H. Shepard illustrations. Pooh and Christopher Robin stamped in gilt to the front board.

[Signed] [First Edition] The Most Amazing Man Who Ever Lived - **Signed** - 1st/1st Rankin Robert [Used - Fine] [Hardcover]
111.23 CAD
Light tanning to page edges, signed 'Robert Rankin' to the title page. Norman's definately dead. His dad fell out of the sky and flattened him. And, as Norman didn't want any regular full-time employment before he died, he certainly doesn't want any now. Especially not here at The Universal Reincarnation Company. There are far too many filing cabinets and far too much paperwork. If God hadn't decided to close down Hell, then Heaven wouldn't have got too overcrowded and there would have been no need to build the extension. And until the extension is finished, the URC will just have to keep on recycling all those souls in the big queue. But there's something very wrong. Someone has learned how to beat the system. Someone is pre-incarnating. Being reborn again and again on their original birthdate. And just imagine if you could do that. Still possessing all the memories of your former lifetimes as yourself. You'd never make the same mistake twice. You could always be in the right place at the right time. Go anywhere, meet anyone, know everything. You'd be the most amazing man who ever lived. Or you'd be the very Devil himself.
