Leo Kenney a Retrospective: Celebrating the Mysteries
Seattle, Washington University Of Washington Press 2000 0295979607 New hardcover 8 x 10
"What we see in Celebrating the Mysteries, which spans nearly fifty years, is the systematic, disciplined progression of an artist whose work developed in synchronicity with the spirit of the times, and, in the end, transcended it. There is a remakable unity in Kenney's work, although his style changed dramatically from the dark, unconsciously executed figurative images to his shimmering geometrics. Kenney has said he listened constantly to Bach as he worked on the geometrics, and the images he created hold the same delicate balance as the music."

"HYSTERICAL! The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads--so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the white killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation. They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler, who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vicepresident of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-head honcho of the Universe; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox. How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert "universal" Armageddon and save life as we know it--and don't know it!"

Adams, Douglas So Long and Thanks for all the Fish
Pocket 1985 0671525808 Very Good paperback 4 x 6 1/2
"Back on Earth with nothing more to show for his long, strange trip through time and space than a ratty towel and a plastic shopping bag, Arthur Dent is ready to believe that the past eight years were all just a figment of his stressed-out imagination. But a gift-wrapped fishbowl with a cryptic inscription, the mysterious disappearance of Earth's dolphins, and the discovery of his battered copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy all conspire to give Arthur the sneaking suspicion that something otherworldly is indeed going on. God only knows what it all means. And fortunately, He left behind a Final Message of explanation. But since it's light-years away from Earth, on a star surrounded by souvenir booths, finding out what it is will mean hitching a ride to the far reaches of space aboard a UFO with a giant robot. But what else is new?"

Adams, Richard Watership Down
Avon 1976 0380002930 Fair (aging) paperback
496 pages. One of the most beloved novels of our time, Richard Adams's Watership Down takes us to a world we have never truly seen: to the remarkable life that teems in the fields, forests and riverbanks far beyond our cities and towns. It is a powerful saga of courage, leadership and survival; an epic tale of a hardy band of adventurers forced to flee the destruction of their fragile community, and their trials and triumphs in the face of extraordinary adversity as they pursue a glorious dream called "home." Watership Down is a remarkable tale of exile and survival, of heroism and leadership - the epic novel of a group of adventurers who desert their doomed city, and venture forth against all odds on a quest for a new home, a sturdier future."

Adams, Sherman First Hand Report
London Hutchinson 1962 First Edition Fine Fair (intact but much scuffed) hardcover 6 x 9
Maroon boards, gold and blue lettering and design on spine - the book will look handsome shelved, with the jacket kept for information and interest value (Eisenhower admiring Adams on the back.) An egocentric book, but interesting historically. Many pictures of Adams, looking photogenic; Eisenhower looks okay.

Agee, Jon So Many Dynamos
NY Farrar Straus Giroux 1994 0374469059 New softcover 8 x 5 1/4 (wide); Agee, Jon
Hysterically funny - even if the wordplay form is unknown. Captions come first - every one is a palindrome - then the ingenious cartoons. Palindromes are words or phrases which read the same way forwards and backwards. (Most famous is for a Garden of Eden greeting: "Madam, I'm Adam" - which, when read backwards, is "Madam, I'm Adam." The cover design is one of the palindromes - So many dynamos - and shows a mad scientist hopping gleefully in a room full of - you guessed it - dynamos.
