	(CHILDREN'S BOOK) Pictures for Sunshine (Sun Shine) NY: Thomas Nelson and Sons. 1st Edition, 1st Printing. Hardcover. At least I think it's a 1st; no statement of printing on the copyright page. In fact, no statement of pretty much anything: no author or artist listed, no date (I'm guessing 1880's-1890's), unpaginated. But it's a nice little hardcover (3 3/4" X 5 3/4") with an illustrated full-cloth binding with a lot of illustrations (most look like etchings). I can make out one artist's signature: "T.H. Wilson". Clean, solid copy: spine a little cocked, extremites slightly bumped/worn, spine hinges a little torn, endpapers browned, pages just a little browned/marked. Other than that it's nice and clean with NO highlighting/underlining/notes/stamps. NOT an ex-library, NOT a book club, NOT a remainder. Good, no dj issued?. Good/No Dj Issued?.

	(NINETEENTH CENTURY MINI-BOOK; 19TH) The Rustic Library: Carrie Prince: Or, an Aged Pastor's Counsel, and Its Fruits Boston: Henry A. Young. 1869, 1st Edition, 1st Printing. Hardcover. At least I think it's a 1st; no statement of printing on the copyright page. In fact, no statement of pretty much anything: no author or artist listed, the only date in the book is 1869 and I wonder if that's correct; I'm guessing 1880's-1890's is more realistic. But it's a nice little hardcover (4" X 6 3/16") with 88 pages and an attractive illustrated/decorated full-cloth binding (with a color plate mounted on the front) and quite a few interior illustrations (most look like etchings). Solid copy: extremites slightly bumped/worn, front gutter hinge is cracked (but not split), endpapers and pages have medium foxing/corner creasing. Other than that it's nice and clean with NO highlighting/underlining/notes/stamps. NOT an ex-library, NOT a book club, NOT a remainder. Good, no dj. Good/No Dj.

Ill.: Dj Art: Muriel Nasser. 172 pages in an attractive/durable full-cloth binding.

In these restless, possibility-haunted colloquies, stripped of everything save voices, changing pairs of women and pairs of men range an emotional terrain whose poles are hope and memory. Extravagant, profane, and comic, the dialogues are a considerable achievement, testing the possibilities of form and extending our engagement with the world."

Thus begins a tangled affair that will involve them in a strange erotic triangle when Martin's ex-wife, Alex, also arrives.

"(Rick Bass) charges headlong past the hard surface of modern life to illuminate man and his relationship to the natural world. PLATTE RIVER is a collection of three novellas, each a singular exploration of the human heart set against the backdrop of God's creation. Filled with arresting images - chinook winds flying through a valley, couples skating in the dark on thin ice, tools made from animal bones, a delicate shape frozen in a river - 'Mahatma Joe' is about an evangelist who settles in Grass Valley, Montana, and the woman who grows obsessed with his vision of the world. In 'Field Events,' a woman falls in love with a man even more enormous than her discus-tossing brothers. And the title novella, 'Platte River,' portrays one man's lyric meditation on loneliness, the nature of peace, and his quest for love."

	(CHILDREN'S BOOK) Pictures for Sunshine (Sun Shine) NY: Thomas Nelson and Sons. 1st Edition, 1st Printing. Hardcover. At least I think it's a 1st; no statement of printing on the copyright page. In fact, no statement of pretty much anything: no author or artist listed, no date (I'm guessing 1880's-1890's), unpaginated. But it's a nice little hardcover (3 3/4" X 5 3/4") with an illustrated full-cloth binding with a lot of illustrations (most look like etchings). I can make out one artist's signature: "T.H. Wilson". Clean, solid copy: spine a little cocked, extremites slightly bumped/worn, spine hinges a little torn, endpapers browned, pages just a little browned/marked. Other than that it's nice and clean with NO highlighting/underlining/notes/stamps. NOT an ex-library, NOT a book club, NOT a remainder. Good, no dj issued?. Good/No Dj Issued?.

	(NINETEENTH CENTURY MINI-BOOK; 19TH) The Rustic Library: Carrie Prince: Or, an Aged Pastor's Counsel, and Its Fruits Boston: Henry A. Young. 1869, 1st Edition, 1st Printing. Hardcover. At least I think it's a 1st; no statement of printing on the copyright page. In fact, no statement of pretty much anything: no author or artist listed, the only date in the book is 1869 and I wonder if that's correct; I'm guessing 1880's-1890's is more realistic. But it's a nice little hardcover (4" X 6 3/16") with 88 pages and an attractive illustrated/decorated full-cloth binding (with a color plate mounted on the front) and quite a few interior illustrations (most look like etchings). Solid copy: extremites slightly bumped/worn, front gutter hinge is cracked (but not split), endpapers and pages have medium foxing/corner creasing. Other than that it's nice and clean with NO highlighting/underlining/notes/stamps. NOT an ex-library, NOT a book club, NOT a remainder. Good, no dj. Good/No Dj.

Ill.: Dj Art: Muriel Nasser. 172 pages in an attractive/durable full-cloth binding.

In these restless, possibility-haunted colloquies, stripped of everything save voices, changing pairs of women and pairs of men range an emotional terrain whose poles are hope and memory. Extravagant, profane, and comic, the dialogues are a considerable achievement, testing the possibilities of form and extending our engagement with the world."

In 'Field Events,' a woman falls in love with a man even more enormous than her discus-tossing brothers. And the title novella, 'Platte River,' portrays one man's lyric meditation on loneliness, the nature of peace, and his quest for love."
