First edition of the author's first book. In the 2003 book of essays, Where I Was From, Didion turned a critical eye on this novel. She recalled writing it as a homesick girl lately moved from California to New York, and judged it to be a work of false nostalgia, the construction of an idyllic myth of rural Californian life that she knew never to have existed The working title was, prior to publication, In The Night Season. Crisp copy.

First edition of this popular paperback original of short fiction. Krumhansl A40. Magazine size, perfect bound. Great copy, the only flaw is a minor bump to the bottom of the back panel. CRISP copy. I would say 999 out of 1000 copies found of this book are dog eared and well worn. This copy is the exception. Could well be Bukowski's best book of short stories (which is why it is always found well-read). Best copy of this book we have ever seen, after dealing in Bukowski titles for over 25 years.

With "Islands in the Stream / by / Hemingway / Uncorrected Copy" written on the front cover in an unknown hand. Laid in is an unused copy (like new except for being folded in half) of the dust jacket. It differs from the published jacket in not having the list of Hemingway's books on the reverse. In this unusual format it is likely that not many copies were produced.

Winner of the Whitbread Book of the Year. A new translation of an Old English heroic epic poem of unknown authorship, dating as recorded in the Nowell Codex manuscript from between the 8th and the early 11th century, set in Denmark and Sweden. Commonly cited as one of the most important works of Anglo-Saxon literature and has been the subject of much scholarly study, theory, speculation, discourse, and, at 3182 lines, has been noted for its length. In the poem, Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, battles three antagonists; Grendel, who has been attacking the resident warriors of a mead hall called Heorot in Denmark; Grendel's mother, and an unnamed dragon. The last battle takes place later in life, after returning to Geatland (modern Southern Sweden), where Beowulf has become king. In the final battle, Beowulf is fatally wounded, and, after his dearth, his retainers bury him in a tumulus in Geatland.
