| DUNCAN, DAVID DOUGLAS [EDITOR] Magic Worlds of Fantasy Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. 1978, First Edition, 2nd Printing. Hard Cover. The work of four "fantasy hobbyists" (really)-Dorle Lindner, Dr. Oscar Forel, Hsueh Shao-Tang, and Ariane-that caught DDD's eye over the years. Oh, and he has thrown in an eight-page supplement he calls "Souvenirs of a Magic World" that consists of stuff Picasso gave him out of friendship. In my mind, borders on a flimsy rationale for a whole book, but the work of the hobbyists, probably folk artists, is interesting. Text in English. Fine hardcover binding in Fine dust jacket. Fine/Fine. USD 15.00 [Appr.: EURO 10.25 | £UK 9.25 | JP¥ 1324] Book number: 3274 Click here to order or inquire at Ruggles Books. | ||

| MCQUAIL Treasures of Two Nations: Tai Royal Gifts to the USA Smithsonian Institution. 1997, First Edition. Hard Cover. Gorgeous, 182-page, full-color (oh, all right) coffee table book, but because it's the Smithsonian, because the photography is so extraordinary and the color so true, the folk arts of Thailand are presented in sufficient detail for serious study, and the documentation is in fact scholarly. So, no lightweight. Fine hardcover binding in Fine dust jacket. Fine/Fine. USD 40.00 [Appr.: EURO 26.75 | £UK 24.25 | JP¥ 3530] Book number: 6312 Click here to order or inquire at Ruggles Books. | ||
