A Few Short Notes on Tropical Butterflies
by John Murray
Fiction, 274 pages.
Excellent condition, no markings or damage, spine not cracked.
From back of book:
These vivid and compelling tales, many set in Africa and Asia, are about immigrants and others facing change and dislocation. The science is never pedantic; indeed the language of biology and natural history is used to great lyrical effect. The stories are accomplished and seasoned, remarkably so given that this is the author's first book. Murray is adept at holding together a complex narrative and creating characters who reach out emotionally to the reader upon first meeting.
Global in scope, classical in form, evocative of place, and deeply emotional, this collection marks the beginning of what promises to be an illustrious career. |

Attic in Greece: A Very English Adventure
by Austen Kark
Non-Fiction, 276 pages.
Very good used condition, no markings or damage.
From back cover:
Austen Kark fell in love with Greece in the '60s, but it wasn't until his retirement from the BBC nearly thirty years later that he was able to fulfill his long-held plan of buying a house there.
After three months' search he and his wife, Nina Bawden, found an almost derelict house in Nauplion, a pretty coastal town in southern Greece. Against everyone's advice they decided to buy it, thus throwing themselves on the mercy of the local plumbers, architects and electricians as well as introducing them to the Byzantine intricacies of Greek bureaucracy.
But Attic in Greece is not just about buying a house (with all the associated joys and traumas - like finding live hand grenades in the roof), it is about one man's love affair with Greece and the Greek people, and the comedy of errors that enabled him to live there. |

From back of book:
The heart of Sointula belongs to Evelyn, a mayor's wife in a mid-size Ontario city. Summoned to British Columbia to attend the deathbed of Claude, her long-ago first lover, Evelyn succumbs to a cascade of emotion. Impulsively, she throws away the trappings of her privileged life, steals a kayak, and embarks on a quest that takes her deep into the wilderness. Her goal: to find her lost son Tom in the remote fishing village of Sointula.

Desiring Italy: Women Writers Celebrate the Passions of a Country and Culture
--edited by Susan Cahill
364 pages, softcover
Minor smudging from storage, otherwise very good condition
Review:
"When literary art meets the warmth, beauty, and culture of Italy, the results are stupifyingly wonderful. Susan Cahill has gathered jewels of writing, penned by 31 women of letters, inspired by Italy. There's Muriel Spark on Venice, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Mary McCarthy on Florence, Florence Nightingale and George Eliot on Rome, Edith Wharton on Milan, and Mary Taylor Simeti on Sicily. All together Cahill's arranged a beautiful antipasti plate of the impact--on the mind, the spirit, and above all the senses--of Italy." |

Cry, the Beloved Country
by Alan Paton
316 pages, Hardcover
Excellent condition. Pages are clean, unmarked, no folds or rips.
From back of book:
The most famous and important novel in South Africa's history.
An immediate worldwide bestseller when it was published in 1948, Alan Paton's impassioned novel about a black man's country under white man's law is a work of searing beauty. Cry, the Beloved Country is the deeply moving story of the Zulu pastor Stephen Kumalo and his son Absalom, set against the background of a land and a people riven by racial injustice. Remarkable for its lyricism, unforgettable for character and incident, Cry, the Beloved Country is a classic work of love and hope, courage and endurance, born of the dignity of man. |

The Road Less Travelled
A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth
by M. Scott Peck
315 pages, Softcover
Good condition. Cover has minor smudges and dents from storage.
All pages are clean, unmarked, not ripped, not bent or folded. Spine not cracked.
From back of book:
Confronting and solving problems is a painful process, which most of us attempt to avoid. And the very avoidance results in greater pain and an inability to grow both mentally and spiritually. Drawing heavily upon his own professional experience, Dr. M. Scott Peck, a practicing psychiatrist, suggests ways in which confronting and resolving our problems--and suffering through the changes--can enable us to reach a higher level of self-understanding. Dr. Peck discusses the nature of loving relationships: how to recognize true compatibility; how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become one's own person; how to be a more sensitive parent.
The Road Less Travelled, a national best-seller for four years, brilliantly integrates traditional psychological and spiritual insights. The result is a book that can show you how to embrace reality and achieve serenity and fullness in your life. |

Okay, I wanted to avoid "rules" because they're unnecessary for most of you and shopping should be all about fun....
When we agree to meet, that's an agreement of purchase and sale. I will be there and I'll be on time, barring some unavoidable calamity. I'll have the item(s) for you and won't sell them to anyone else in the meantime. I don't mind if you change your mind or want to re-schedule, but do give a reasonable amount of notice since I plan around our meeting. I respect your time so please respect mine.
Please:
- Bring exact change or tell me in advance that you'll need change.
- Do not try to negotiate a lower price when we meet. That will never work and you'll only waste your time and mine. In return, I will not try to negotiate a higher price when we meet.
Feel free to ask questions:
- I've posted true pictures and detailed information based on what I think you want to know. If you want additional info, please ask.
- My prices are all researched. If you have another idea or offer, feel free to say so. I may or may not agree but it never hurts to ask.
- Discounts may be available depending on the items and quantity you're buying.
- If you want to trade, feel free to offer. I'm not looking for anything specific but you never know.
- Window shopping is fun, but I don't usually have the time to do this for everyone. If there's something you really want to see but don't want to buy, let me know and be clear you don't intend to buy. I might have some free time that lines up with yours and if the item is easy to carry it might work out.
Thank you and happy shopping!
