‘Black Water’ signed by Joyce Carol Oates

debs — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 10:43:25 +0000

I’m a huge fan of Joyce Carol Oates and this signed first edition copy of the Pulitzer Prize nominated novella Black Water is a real prize. One of the most prolific writers working in the States today, Oates is not only a novelist, but has also published numerous collections of short stories, as well as many other novellas, plays, poetry and literary criticism. This edition is the UK hardback, first published by Macmillan London Ltd in 1992 and is signed by the author in the only space available on the first printed page of the book.

Are you a booksigning junkie?

debs — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 11:47:36 +0000

There’s a wonderfully funny confessional article by Emily Grosvenor in the Publishers Weekly today. If the following snippet sounds familiar…then check out the full article!

I am a compulsive author-reading attendee, an obsessive reader and fan. People like me are the reason publishers send authors on book tours. Writers are my celebrities. I track news of them like other people follow Angelina Jolie. I sign up for e-mail alerts to keep abreast of their book tours. And when the writers I read go on tour, I am there.

1962 Corgi Paperback Movie Tie-in Edition of ‘Lolita’ by Vladamir Nabokov

debs — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 16:04:21 +0000

I recently visited a wonderful Stanley Kubrick exhibition in Rome and was reminded of a small piece of my own original Kubrick memorabilia, this 1962 movie tie-in paperback edition of one of my absolute favourite novels - Vladamir Nabokov’s Lolita. First reissued by Corgi in 1961, this is the fourth 1962 reprint and although hardly a rare item, is nevertheless an interesting piece of both film and book memorabilia.

Signed by author…long distance!

debs — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 08:31:59 +0000

There’s a fascinating article in the New York Times on line edition this morning about a revolutionary device which may turn the collection of signed books on its head! It talks about a device called LongPen which Margaret Atwood, the Canadian novelist, devised in 2004 so that she could sign books with a touchpad in her home, which in turn conveyed her handwriting to an autopen in a distant bookstore. You can read the full story by following the link below…

A Book Signing With the Author a World Away
By JOANNE KAUFMAN
Published: December 17, 2007
With his recent conviction and sentencing, the media baron and author Conrad M. Black has turned to a device called the LongPen to help him hold book signings from afar.

Lewis Hamilton signing copies of My Story

Lewis Hamilton at work

A great shot of Formula 1 motor racing so-very-nearly champion Lewis Hamilton signing copies of his autobiography - imaginatively entitled My Story.

Hamilton is obviously still a very young man - he was only born in 1985 - so we can expect further volumes in the the future!

Rules have been strict at his recent book signing events with an insistence on all copies being specifically dedicated.

Photographer Steve Chilton says: At this stage the queue of people waiting to see him covers most of the floor space on the first-floor of The Howard centre. He is using the first of several pens required to complete the task.

Vanessa Bell Dust Jacket for ‘A Haunted House’ by Virginia Woolf

debs — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 17:12:50 +0000

Some of my favourite historic book jackets are those designed by Vanessa Bell for the Hogarth Press, and in particular, for the books written by her sister, Virginia Woolf. Vanessa Bell, together with her husband Clive Bell, painter Duncan Grant as well as Virginia and Leonard Woolf, belonged to the group of artists and writers known as the Bloomsbury Group, although she has achieved a certain measure of independent success as attested by her paintings which hang in the Tate Britain Gallery. Recent cinema goers may remember Miranda Richardson’s excellent portrayal of her in The Hours, opposite Nicole Kidman’s Virginia Woolf, an Oscar-clinching performance in the category of Best Actress Wearing a False Nose.

This dust jacket from A Haunted House, a posthumously published collection of short stories by Virginia Woolf, is from a 1943 first edition in War Economy Standard (using cheaper paper etc. to save the country’s resources) and includes a fascinating back inner flap advertising the BBC radio broadcasts which transmitted news bulletins and Morse coded news across Europe during the Second World War.
