"How could you, a mathematician, believe that extraterrestrials were sending you messages?" the visitor from Harvard asked the West Virginian with the movie-star looks and Olympian manner.
Thus begins the true story of John Nash, the mathematical genius who was a legend by age thirty when he slipped into madness, and who -- thanks to the selflessness fo a beautiful woman and the loyalty of the mathematics community -- emerged after decades of ghostlike exixstence to win a Nobel Prize and world acclaim, the inspiration for a major motion picutre. Sylvia Nasar's award-winning biography is a drama about the mystery of the human mind, triumph over incredivble adversity, and the healing power of love.

Store description
Virginia Books & More was born out of the need to reduce a massive library of new books accumulated over a 42 year career in bookselling and publishing (from Tolstoy to Tinkerbell, as Paul Simon might say). Most are unread, many are signed by the authors. I'm also offering some posters, used books, advance review copies and other ephemera. Please email me with any comments or questions, and thanks in advance for your purchases.
