My favorite book this week is a deluxe new edition of The Island of Doctor Moreau, illustrated by Bill Sienkiewicz. We have several new books from another new publisher, The Men's Adventure Library, leading off with The Art of Samson Pollen. I enjoyed reading Pirate Queen: The Legend of Grace O'Malley. It was nothing like I imagined it would be. Hellboy now has his own playing cards. Norman Rockwell's well-written autobiography is back in print. And we have a mess of coming items, foremost among them and by far my personal favorite: Mac Raboy: Master of the Comics by Roger Hill. |

NORMAN ROCKWELL My Adventures as an Illustrator The Definitive Edition Highly Recommended. By Tom Rockwell. Art by Norman Rockwell. Edited by Abigail Rockwell. The wit, humanity, and many-sided talent of Norman Rockwell (1894–1978) are on full display in his classic and profusely illustrated autobiography. Rockwell's New York City boyhood, his apprentice days at the Art Students League, his first fateful visit to the Saturday Evening Post, his adventures abroad, his move to rural Vermont, judging the 1922 Miss America pageant with fellow artists—all are recounted with a mix of sharp observation and self-deprecating humor. Throughout Rockwell invites the reader into his artistic process: he introduces his favorite models, candidly reveals his biggest flops, and documents the creation of a Post cover step by step. Abbeville Press, 2019...More. Item Code: NRMYH Hard Cover, 7x9, 536pg, Partial Color $40.00 |

BEAUTY AS DUTY Textiles on the Homefront in WWII Britain Warehouse find, 2011. Only four copies available. The British experience during and after WWII was quite different from that of Americans. From the fall of 1940 through the spring of 1941, Britain was subjected to relentless bombing in a terror campaign known as the Blitz. Even after the Allied victory, Britain continued to suffer shortages of everyday supplies, and rationing of both food and clothing continued. This book accompanied the 2011 exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It looks at ways that textiles were put into service on Britain's Home Front in the 1940s. Mass-produced “utility” clothes had to conform to strict government regulations, yet managed to be fashionable. Colorful scarves printed with motifs relating to British life during and after the War—many by the high-end London textile firm Jacqmar—were a practical way to spruce up a look. Utility dresses and propaganda scarves showed how fashion could be used as a powerful weapon to maintain morale in challenging and austere times. Huff Scharf, 2011. . As New....More.

MAC RABOY Master of the Comics The first-ever book on this hugely talented artist. Could sell out quickly. Our Highest Recommendation. By Roger Hill. Beginning with his WPA etchings during the 1930s, Mac Raboy struggled to survive the Great Depression and eventually found his way into the comics. He perfected his art style on early stories of Dr. Voodoo, Zorro, The Mystery Man, Bulletman, Spy Smasher, (all for Fawcett) and his own version of The Green Lama and, finally, his crowning achievement, Captain Marvel Jr. Raboy went on to illustrate the Flash Gordon Sunday newspaper strip, and left behind a legacy of meticulous perfection. Through extensive research and interviews with son David Raboy, and Raboy's Golden Age assistants, author Roger Hill brings Mac Raboy, the man and the artist, into focus. TwoMorrows, 2019.

More Coming Items We're going to make a point to feature more Coming Items, even if they are a long way off, in our weekly emails. It gives you the opportunity to reserve an item and lock it in. Several items lately have sold out far too quickly. It also helps us to bring in enough copies to make everyone happy. I compare the new Mac Raboy book, above, with The Art of Reed Crandall, which was gone in mere weeks. The recent Sanjulian book was gone over one weekend. The Complete Skymasters Sundays was gone shortly after publication. Customers who had reserved copies got them, but there were few or no copies left after filling backorders. |
As always, use a credit card and you will not be charged until the book has shipped from us to you. Only customers paying by check need to pay in advance.
