Felix straightened, eyes narrowed behind the viewport as he searched the area. It had only been a brief twinkle of brilliance and for a moment he doubted whether he had seen anything at all. Then it came again, a sunbright sparkle as of light reflecting from some bright surface. It came from the far distance between Tycho and the station and, he knew, it could only have been caused by some moving object. Echlan had seen it too. Before Felix could report he heard the sergeant's voice. "Unknown object approaching station on bearing three twenty-five. Distance about five miles." "Message received," said a woman's voice. "Switch to combat channel." >>> Creasing to top edge of backcover; Pen to interior front cover; Size: 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. Book.

Hardcover. Condition: Poor. No Jacket. Kate Greenaway, (illustrator). 1st Edition. Under the Window by Kate Greenaway, published by George Routledge and Sons, is the book that launched Greenaway to international fame in 1878/1879. It revolutionized children's book illustration and even influenced Victorian children's fashion. ? The Publisher: Routledge was the original publisher (later editions were taken over by Frederick Warne). ? The Printing: These books were printed using woodblocks by the master printer Edmund Evans. The "children in white" and "brown border" you described are classic elements of his delicate color-layering process. ? The "Card Cover": This refers to the pictorial paper-covered boards. Because these were thin books intended for nursery use, the card covers and the spine are notoriously fragile. Condition Assessment Missing back endpaper and cracking to the binding at the back While a pristine First Edition can reach several hundred pounds, a copy with significant structural wear is valued as a "reference" or "filler" copy. Condition poor.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. [1st ed., 1st printing] ; 70 pages ; 22 cm ISBN 9781882295159, 1882295153 OCLC 36059948 LCCN 96040204 LC PS3569.U13 M53 1997 ; stiff paper wrappers ; Middle Kingdom, Adrienne Su's first collection of poems, explores American identity in terms of language, geography, and personal history. Starting in Georgia, the poems travel to New York, New England, China, Mexico, and other locales in the search for a sense of place. ; "Middle Kingdom is the slippery, hard-to-read territory between languages, cultures, identities-a fluid, confusing boundary zone which is both enriching and embattled. Suburban, Asian-American, at home and exiled in places and tongues, Su negotiates the mercurial new world of cultural commingling in witty, formally assured poems-often in elegantly accomplished forms which themselves add to the layering of cultural reference. This volume is an auspicious, engaging debut, and its pleasures are especially evident in a signature Su poem, 'In Mexico City', which delights in a collision of tongues, in the human possibilities conjoined vocabularies reveal." -Mark Doty ; "Adrienne Su is so unusual, such a good poet, and has so much to say, that she's addictive: once you start reading her poems you want to go on forever in the Middle Kingdom. Also, she is such a good rhymer that you don't know she's rhyming: you find out, as you read along, that you have been rhymed deeply. She is very good." -Alan Dugan ; "Is it authentic? Beneath this question rests a garden in all its tended beauty. This is the plot of Adrienne Su, who raises a voice of calm and subtle strength in her evocation of a new land, stretching from China to suburban Virginia, across class and race divides, defining these States, homing in on the poem. Here there is no doubt: Ms Su is the real thing, an authentic poet who lifts the craft into orbit, gives a readout that inexorably relaxes us as humans into being. That's the poem's home, the Middle Kingdom, where Adrienne Su lives, writes, and tends the garden." -Bob Holman ; Adrienne Su is the author of four books of poems, of which Middle Kingdom was the first; the others are Sanctuary (Manic D Press, 2006), Having None of It (Manic D, 2009), and Living Quarters (Manic D, 2015). Recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, Su is professor of creative writing and poet-in-residence at Dickinson College, in Pennsylvania. Her poems appear in many anthologies, including The Hungry Ear; Asian-American Poetry: The Next Generation; The Norton Introduction to Literature (12th ed.); and four volumes of Best American Poetry.
