New York: Knopf, 2015. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. M Train begins in the tiny Greenwich Village café where Smith goes every morning for black coffee, ruminates on the world as it is and the world as it was, and writes in her notebook. Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, we travel to Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul in Mexico; to the fertile moon terrain of Iceland; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York’s Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits; to the West 4th Street subway station, filled with the sounds of the Velvet Underground after the death of Lou Reed; and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. Woven throughout are reflections on the writer’s craft and on artistic creation. Here, too, are singular memories of Smith’s life in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her husband, Fred Sonic Smith.     Braiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated with her signature Polaroids, M Train is a meditation on travel, detective shows, literature, and coffee. It is a powerful, deeply moving book by one of the most remarkable multiplatform artists at work today. Illustrated with her signature Polaroids.

Every album and every song ever released by the Beatles-from "Please Please Me" (U.S. 1963) to "The Long and Winding Road" (U.S. 1970)-is dissected, discussed, and analyzed by two music historians in this lively, fully illustrated work. All the Songs delves deep into the history and origins of the Beatles and their music. Book will ship at the 6 pound rate by USPS in the US only, at no extra charge. I'll pay the difference.

Santa Fe, NM: Arena Editions, 1999. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket.. Santa Fe, NM: Arena Editions, 1999. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 160 pages. Retrospective collection of landscape and landmark photographs. One of the most beautiful art photography books of our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by James Crump and Elsa Kendall: Oversize-volume format. Pale gray cloth boards with metallic-silver titles embossed on cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Lynn Davis. Poem by Patti Smith. Introduction by Rudolph Wurlitzer. In publisher's original shrinkwrap. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper by EBS in Verona, Italy to the highest standards. 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.
