My first thought as I spotted this in the used book section of the thriftstore, "Aw hell yeah, this looks exactly like the sort of book I would have read when I was a kid!"

My second thought as I picked this up and took it to the cashier, "I wonder if @godzilla-reads has read this book?"

My third thought as I gave the book a second look, after I had already left the store, "Oh, this is the second book in a series. Dammit."

Oh well, no problem. I'll look this series up on libby. It's not on libby. I'll try hoopla. Not on hoopla. Let's try bookshop.org. Looks like it's been out of print for like, 20 years, so it won't be directly on bookshop.org, so I'll just look it up on good old Thriftbooks. Ah, perfect! Thriftbooks has the whole series for super cheap, so I'll just get the rest of the books, they'll be here in a few days.

Alrighty, they're here! Love this cheesy 90s fantasy cover art. Books three and four look good!

Book one...doesn't look nearly as good. It's like somebody tried to draw Wayne Anderson's dragons from memory with their eyes half closed. Still, it's in good condition with sturdy binding so this will be good for reading.

Yooooo! Turns out this is a signed copy, which reads,

To Kay,

October 9, 2023:

The old-fashioned looking font on the cover does this book a disservice because it really is a fully 2023 novel (down to examples not of how teens text each other, but how an adult thinks teens still text each other but that's besides the point). If you follow this author on social media, you might know that he is obsessed with apples. This guy knows so much about rare heirloom (rareloom?) apple varietals and he's very passionate about them, so when I heard that he was working on a book centered on that knowledge, I got hyped about this months-to-years in advance. Not to project onto the author, but I think he was hyped too. This is written with a vaguely anticipatory air, like this book is supposed to be his... masterpiece? Passion project? Love letter to his special interest? For that reason, I wanted to enjoy this more. I wanted to suck it down greedily in a weekend, or else savor it bite by bite, but in reality it just took me a really long time to struggle through it. It's... challenging to read. Don't get me wrong, I loved all the apple lore! It was just hard for me to get into, and it's for sure not the book's fault. There were spooky vibes, a spooky guy with a spooky smile, class traitorship, an emotionally abusive lesbian marriage, and, best of all, a sex-positive portrayal of ethical nonmonogamy & kink! I appreciate all of that. I just felt removed from it for reasons I can't pin down. Maybe I need to take a break from books.

Something I like but will likely be divisive about the writing is the inclusion of written intrusive thoughts. Italic text will interrupt a paragraph which will then continue, substituting the intended rest of the sentence in place of the harsher but truer italicized text. To take my own words for example, my earlier sentence might have been written like this:

This is written with a vaguely anticipatory air, like this book is supposed to be his masterpiece passion project.

It reads like distressed jeans. Distressed writing. Though I do like it, I think it was 1) very overused in this book, and 2) used indiscriminately among characters. In my opinion, it would be more effective to use this more exclusively in the point of view of characters that are more likely to have intrusive thoughts. Although everyone has them, not everyone has them equally, after all.

Overall, I don't think I can give this a fair number. I fear a score based on my net-enjoyment of the reading experience will undervalue the things it has going for it, and there's really nothing wrong with it either. But it would also be disingenuous to overrate a book just because I think I should have liked it more.

Forming an innumerable file

Strong and new workers

Leave the suburbs of the city

To continue their work.

Very fraternally written for André Breton by his grateful

Letters and signed copies of "The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas", signed by Gertrude Stein and Alice.

Stein gave two lectures in Madison, Wisconsin on December 6, 1934, accompanied by Alice B. Toklas. The first copy in this post was signed after these lectures. With original photograph of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas loose within, stamped on rear, presumed taken in Madison during her visit. Half-title inscribed by Gertrude Stein with addition signature of Alice B. Toklas: "For Bob Fleming, who not only almost understood, but he will perhaps change almost into something else. With pleasant, most pleasant remembrances." From the estate of Bob Fleming.

The second book is a review copy with the publisher's slip and a laid-in postcard/admission ticket from the Poetry Society of South Carolina. Stein delivered a lecture titled "Poetry and Grammar" at the club's meeting on February 13th, 1935.

The letter is a rejection letter in reply to a request for use of Stein's poetry.
