Vlad
Willing to talk about any book under the sun, used book buyer Vlad loves to read YA, Sci-Fi and Fantasy. With his interest in art and design, he is a treasure trove of graphic novel and comic book recommendations. In Vlad's spare time, he is the proud owner of a bunny suit and is guilty of a co-dependent relationship with mayonnaise.
 Un Lun Dun (Paperback)$9.00 ISBN-13: 9780345458445Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Del Rey, 01/01/2008 A bounty of wordplay and surprises await the reader who dives into this clever fantasy. Un Lun Dun takes an 'Alice in Wonderland' approach to urban existence--the cast-off, discarded and obsolete come to life in this alternate (un)London. Full of exotic locales and characters, and a genuinely endearing heroine, Mieville's book is endlessly inventive fun, and even manages to convey an ecological message.
 Tales from Outer Suburbia (Hardcover)$19.99 ISBN-13: 9780545055871Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Arthur A. Levine Books, 02/01/2009 Hot on the heels of the remarkable award-winning "Arrival," Tan's delightfully weird and poignant take on suburban living firmly cements his reputation as a gifted storyteller and artist. Tan's books are for the young and old, to be revisited time after time. A new book by Shaun Tan is always a joyous occasion.  Angelica (Paperback)$14.00 ISBN-13: 9780812972603Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Random House Trade Paperbacks, 02/01/2008 Angelica is a delightful puzzle of a book. Prismatic in nature, the narrative shifts subtly to examine what, at first glance, appears to be a haunting, but quickly reveals itself to be something more disturbing. Phillips explores genres, the social mores of Victorian London, the supernatural, and the nature of memory to produce a novel that, while set in the past, proves to be profoundly modern. --Vlad
 Sharp Teeth (Paperback)$14.99 ISBN-13: 9780061430244Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Harper Perennial, 02/01/2009 A unique piece of literature: a werewolf novel written in verse (think "The Iliad" meets "American Werewolf in London") that surpasses genre & creates a brutal, stirring, philosophical story where our humanity is reflected back at us through these desperate, ruthless, primal characters. Truly, one of my favorite books of 2008!
 Boneshaker (Paperback)$15.99 ISBN-13: 9780765318411Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Tor Books, 09/01/2009 Local author Priest, who has carefully and quietly published a steady stream of high-quality fantasy/horror books, turns on the nitroglycerin (or in this case, the steam) for this rollicking historical SF (aka Steampunk). Read it! I am! And besides, how can you pass up a book with quotes from both Warren Ellis & Mike Mignola? - Vlad  The Arrival (Hardcover)$19.99 ISBN-13: 9780439895293Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Arthur A. Levine Books, 10/01/2007 I believe that everyone--be they adult or child--should own at least one picture book. The Arrival is that one book. In style and substance it defies simple classification: it has the narrative thread of graphic novels; the technical precision of fine art; the wonder & whimsy inherent in kid's books. But like Tan's previous books (gorgeous, surreal children's stories), there exists deeper layers of visual and emotional meaning--The Arrival warrants continual revisiting; like a stroll through your favorite park at different times of the year, you'll always find something new to spark the imagination. --Vlad
 $15.00 ISBN-13: 9781416534402Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Free Press, 03/01/2008 The Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico are to this day a highly lawless and dangerous region due to drug trafficking, decades-old feuds and desperate poverty. If you want a sense of the Old West alive and well in the modern age - look no further than this jaw-dropping, insightful and darkly humorous book. Amazing! - Vlad  $19.99 ISBN-13: 9780811855099Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Chronicle Books, 04/01/2006 What a delightful book! An interactive drawing book for all skill levels - fill in the occupants of a house, draw your favorite food, capture a volcano eruption - pages and pages to stimulate the right brain of artists of any age. Feel your dendrites flex and sing, your mind expanding. -Vlad
 $14.00 ISBN-13: 9780802141804Availability: On Our Shelves Now Published: Grove Press, 01/01/2005 Grant, a Brit-expat and drifter himself, brings amazing candor and insight to the topic of American's 'mobile millions' - whether they be train-hopping hobos, RV enthusiasts, motorcycle gangs, truckers, what have you. I myself love to plant my roots deep, but this book is enjoyable and enlightening about an urge I've always been curious about... - Vlad Bookmark/Search this post with: |
