Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Merchant Ivory's English Landscape is the first book to examine in detail four widely acclaimed English films - A Room with a View, Maurice, Howards End and The Remains of the Day - the result of the unique collaboration of more than thirty years of American director James Ivory, Indian producer Ismail Merchant, and German-born scriptwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala.In Merchant Ivory's English Landscape author John Pym's engaging text gives a refreshing account of Merchant Ivory's four recent English movies (and some of the partnership's earlier works as well), taking the reader behind the scenes of the making of the films, revealing how aspects of the English people and culture were researched and portrayed, locations chosen, and scenes executed. Nearly 100 superb film stills and production shots - most reproduced in color and never before seen - re-create the quintessential flavor and sense of place of Merchant Ivory's films. Intermingled with scenes of England's timeless landscapes and gardens, grand country houses, cityscapes, and views of Oxford and Cambridge are more intimate scenes, detailed interiors, and close-ups of the actors.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Tall Tales was an innovative newspaper strip syndicated internationally by the New York Herald Tribune from 1957-1963. Whereas newspaper strips are square, single-panel or multiple-panel horizontal gag cartoons, Al Jaffee, known for the Fold-In in MAD Magazine, once again altered the format of his work to create a vertical strip-the first, and last, in newspaper history. Tall Tales contains the best 120 wordless strips out of over 2,200, scanned from the original files. The book features a new preface by Jaffee and an introduction by Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report.Al Jaffee is the cartoonists cartoonist. Hes a pioneer in every field, from comic books to book illustration to magazine cartoons. The worst thing about Jaffee is that every time I do a drawing, I find out hes done it before . . . and better.-Sergio Aragonés, cartoonistThis collection proves that not only has Al Jaffee always been funny, hes always been disturbed. - Stephen Colbert, from his introduction.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Written by one of the best-known authorities on the subject, this important reference surveys four centuries of Western decorative arts and design history, tracing the origins of the modern movement further back than in any previous study.Starting with the High Renaissance in Italy, Peter Thornton explores a vast repertoire of motifs and styles. He highlights the accomplishments of key innovators from Pollaiuolo and Raphael to Percier, Pugin, and Owen Jones, and sets their remarkable achievements against the background in which they worked. He traces the development and subsequent revivals of themes and motifs and includes a wealth of illustrations, making this a ground-breaking source of inspiration for designers of today.<br /><br />No other book provides such in-depth information on the decorative styles of this period. This essential reference fills a major gap in the literature on design history.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. From the time of the earliest cave paintings, artists have been compelled to create likenesses of snakes. Authors Marilyn Nissenson and Susan Jonas have collected the best of those likenesses in Snake Charm, an elegant, absorbing compendium of snake iconography and lore throughout recorded history.In text and images, the authors explore the paradox of the snake, a creature that inspires as much fascination as fear. The themes are grand: good and evil, seduction and betrayal, death and rebirth. The 157 illustrations - 138 of them in color - are magnificent: Minoan goddesses and medieval dragons, Rococo silver and Lalique pendants, nineteenth-century American pottery and contemporary Mexican folk sculpture, scientific drawings and Australian aboriginal "dream" paintings, and much more. The result is a lively and informative book on a provocative subject.A selected bibliography and index round out this compelling volume, which will startle, astound, intrigue, and entice people to confront their ideas about a creature they thought (or hoped) they could ignore.
