ABOUT THIS BOOK: The National Book Award–winner Patti Smith presents a treasure box of a childhood memoir about “clear unspeakable joy” and “just the wish to know.” A great book about becoming an artist, Woolgathering tells of a youngster finding herself as she learns the noble vocation of woolgathering, “a worthy calling that seemed a good job for me.” She discovers often at night, often in nature the pleasures of rescuing “a fleeting thought.” Deeply moving, Wool- gathering calls up our own memories, as the child “glimpses and gleans, piecing together a crazy quilt of truths.” Smith introduces us to her tribe, “a race of cloud dwellers,” and to the fierce, vital pleasures of cloud watching and stargazing and wandering.(Publisher).

In pictorial DJ with white titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Lynn Davis' "Monument". Her ambitious attempt to leave her mark on the landscape and landmark genre. She has succeeded brilliantly. The concept behind the collection is that a monument is a natural or a man-made structure whose motif is ascension. The greatest landmarks by Man, as Lynn Davis sees and presents them, rival, and often surpass, those of Nature, as breathtaking as the latter can be. Her images have a global reach: Egypt, Australia, Cambodia, Burma, Thailand, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, Yemen, Lebanon, Greenland, and the United States. They include the Pyramid of Giza, Buddhist temples, the icebergs of Greenland, among other stupendous pinnacles of Nature and Man. "Davis articulates both the omnipotent forces of Nature and the most resolute building endeavors ever undertaken by Man. Davis's aesthetic is cool and refined; her sparse composition, and controlled modeling of light evoke solitude and contemplation" (Publisher's blurb) . An absolute "must-have" title for Lynn Davis collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. 60 plates. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. . ISBN 1892041073.

New York: N.Y./ New York: Doubleday, 1998, 1st Edition, First Printing, 1998. -----------( 1st printing of the First Edition ) ---hardcover, a Near Fine example, a wee bit of very light rubbing, one corner has an almost undetectable slight bump, --- in a Near Fine dustjacket, 246 pages, b&w photos throughout, ---the white marks on the front of the jacket to the right of the image are part of the cover design and NOT marks on the jacket, quite scarce, ---" Described by her critics alternately as the "godmother of punk" and "rock and roll's poet laureate," Patti Smith is an American original. Her first album, Horses, was a landmark album of power, bravado, beauty, and grace. Its famous cover portrait, photographed by Robert Mapplethorpe, "was the first to claim both vision and authority," wrote Camille Paglia. "No female rocker had ever dominated an image in this aggressive, uncompromising way." ---Seven albums later, and a life punctuated by a long hiatus during which Smith raised her two children and suffered the tragic losses of her husband, Fred Sonic Smith, her dear friend, Robert Mapplethorpe, and her beloved brother, Smith is ready to mark her first fifty years on the planet with a book her fans have long awaited: the complete lyrics. With never-before-seen photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe, Annie Liebovitz, Kate Simon, and others, plus original artwork and text by Smith, Patti Smith Complete is a living commemoration of Smith's unique contribution to music and the empowerment of people through her message of work, love, and charity.
