Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. A graphic designer's inspiration turns into a quest to uncover the writer and his past. New hardcover with DJ. 352 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Finalist for the 2018 Minnesota Book Award A graphic designer's search for inspiration leads to a cache of letters and the mystery of one man's fate during World War II. Seeking inspiration for a new font design in an antique store in small-town Stillwater, Minnesota, graphic designer Carolyn Porter stumbled across a bundle of letters and was immediately drawn to their beautifully expressive pen-and-ink handwriting. She could not read the letters--they were in French--but she noticed all of them had been signed by a man named Marcel and mailed from Berlin to his family in France during the middle of World War II. As Carolyn grappled with designing the font, she decided to have one of Marcel's letters translated. Reading it opened a portal to a different time, and what began as mere curiosity quickly became an obsession with finding out why the letter writer, Marcel Heuzé, had been in Berlin, how his letters came to be on sale in a store halfway around the world, and, most importantly, whether he ever returned to his beloved wife and daughters after the war. Marcel's Letters is the incredible story of Carolyn's increasingly desperate search to uncover the mystery of one man's fate during WWII, seeking answers across Germany, France, and the United States. Simultaneously, she continues to work on what would become the acclaimed P22 Marcel font, immortalizing the man and his letters that waited almost seventy years to be reunited with his family.

Hardcover. Condition: Like New. [Association copy, inscribed by Garry Wills on front end and title pages.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. xi, 194 p., ill., 22 cm. *Autographed by author.* "Garry Wills is an American historian, journalist, and author of provocative books on Roman Catholicism, history, and politics. Wills taught classics and humanities at Johns Hopkins University beginning in 1962 and continued to publish, with his first book on Catholicism, Politics and Catholic Freedom, appearing in 1964. Wills' experience covering seminal civil rights and Vietnam War protest events for Esquire throughout the 1960s, including the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., helped to steer Wills' conservative politics on these issues in a more liberal direction, and he parted ways with the National Review. In his first book on a U.S. president, Nixon Agonistes: The Crisis of the Self-Made Man (1970), Wills proposed that Richard Nixon was a liberal contrary to the Republican president's public image and analyzed the troubled relationship between the president and the country. Many critics saw the book as a criticism not only of Nixon but of the United States itself. Wills continued to publish on Catholic thought, including Bare Ruined Choirs: Doubt, Prophecy, and Radical Religion (1972), and won several awards, among them the National Book Critics Circle Award, for his controversial reconsideration of the basis for Thomas Jefferson's political thought, Inventing America: Jefferson's Declaration of Independence (1978). He received a Peabody Award for writing and directing the PBS Frontline documentary The Choice, an in-depth look at the 1988 presidential campaign, and a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Critics Circle Award for his book Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words That Remade America (1992), a study of the enduring power and influence of Abraham Lincoln's prose." - Britannica.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 80 pages. Published in 2018. The artist/photographer's breakthrough debut monograph. The single best introduction to the photographically-based art and achievement of Marina Font. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that will, by design, have limited distribution. A brilliant production by Marina Font and Minor Matters Books: Oversize-volume format. Blood-red cloth boards with metallic-silver titles embossed on spine, as issued. Photographs by Marina Font. Essay by Lisa Volpe. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper by Oddi in Iceland to the highest standards. The reproduction quality is exemplary in every respect. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Marina Font's "Anatomy Is Destiny/La Anatomia Es Destino". Biology = Not Destiny. Consists of Font's two major sequences thus far, "Mental Maps" and "Dark Continents". Both subvert the female nude, a major medium, not just subject, in the whole history of Western art, through what Lisa Volpe calls a "constellation of The Feminine". "I have continued to explore the complexity of the human psyche and its inner threads in order to further investigate my relationship with the multiple intersecting factors that constitute the female identity, delving into its multiple aspects. The central axis of these very intuitive and visceral works is the approach to the female body perceived mainly through three planes: The biological, the psychological, and the social, and the juxtapositions and connections among these themes. I depart from a black-and-white photograph of a female body and make of these neutral photographs a canvas for recreating, through the physical labor of sewing, metaphors of the mind's systematic representation of the world. My hands intervene each work manually, and through this intimate, performatic ritual, the embodiment of the photograph becomes the common ground where the familiar and the foreign meet, as an individual attempt to blur the lines between the internal and external spaces of the body. The construction of these mental maps evokes diverse psychological states and emotions with meanings that are in constant flux, never fixed, just like our identities. I aim to approach what lies beyond control and reason, exploring, through the act of drawing with thread, embroidery, fabric, and appropriated crochet pieces onto the photographic surface, the intricate mysteries of the psyche. I intend to shed imaginary light on the female experience in order to build idealized and fantastical connections to the forces of the unconscious" (Marina Font). An absolute "must-have" title for Marina Font collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed and dated (in the year of publication) in black pen-marker on the half-title page by Marina Font. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It comes with a fine copy of "Marina Font: El Contrato/The Contract", her earliest publication. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and publication-year dated copy (with "El Contrato") of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only that will, by design, have very limited distribution. A rare signed copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates. One of the most brilliant artist/photographers of our time. A fine set. ISBN 0990603695. Signed by Author.

Original ink drawing by Jacques Pruvost for the 20th century French magazine: Le Hérisson. Format: c. 32 x 42,5 cm. Signed. with old fold marks, slightly stained, otherwise in good condition. || Dessin original de Jacques Pruvost pour la revue française du XXème siècle: «Le Hérisson». || Original Tusche-Zeichnung von Jacques Pruvost für die französische Zeitschrift des 20. Jahrhunderts: Le Hérisson. Signiert. mit alten Faltspuren, leicht fleckig, sonst gut erhalten. || Jacques Pruvost was born in 1901 in Merville, Northern France. He studied in Paris and from 1921 to 1940 collaborated with Le Canard chainé, as well as numerous "left-wing" newspapers (Marianne, Vendredi, Messidor) but also humorous magazines like Le Rire or Scaramouche. After the war he became one of the pillars of Le Hérisson and Le Figaro from 1953 to 1975. Le Herisson was a French humor magazine founded on December 11, 1936, and published by Publications Georges Ventillard. It suspended publication during the war but reemerged on February 1, 1946, with a larger format and the famous green paper that made it particularly recognizable. Many journalists such as Raymond Baillet, Pierre Ferrary, Michel Herbert, K Ramba, and numerous humoristic artists regularly contributed to it. After various mergers and relaunches, the journal experienced a revival in 2015 as a digital format under Dominique Defix, aiming to continue the quality and diversity of French press cartoons. || Jacques Pruvost wurde 1901 in Merville, Nordfrankreich, geboren.

Nach dem Krieg wurde er von 1953 bis 1975 zu einer der Säulen von Le Hérisson und Le Figaro. Le Herisson war ein französisches Humormagazin, das am 11. Dezember 1936 gegründet und von Publications Georges Ventillard herausgegeben wurde. Während des Krieges wurde die Veröffentlichung eingestellt, am 1. Februar 1946 erschien sie jedoch wieder, mit einem größeren Format und dem berühmten Grünbuch, das ihr einen besonderen Wiedererkennungswert verlieh. Viele Journalisten wie Raymond Baillet, Pierre Ferrary, Michel Herbert, K. Ramba und zahlreiche humoristische Künstler haben regelmäßig dazu beigetragen. Nach verschiedenen Fusionen und Neugründungen erlebte die Zeitschrift 2015 unter Dominique Defix ein Revival als digitales Format mit dem Ziel, die Qualität und Vielfalt französischer Presse-Cartoons fortzusetzen. || Jacques Pruvost est né en 1901 à Merville, dans le nord de la France.
