Yiggy posted:The adaptation of the Persian Poem, The Conference of the Birds by Peter Sis. Found this last September on a book run in Chicago at Bookworks. Really nice store, has a lot of old paperbacks. Has some dedicated shelves on beat poets and lit. I was familiar with the poem but this looked like a weird edition of it which is why I picked it off the shelf. After cracking the spine and seeing the paper I could tell this was a special book. The one I found was a first edition, but found some hardcover editions of later printings nearer to home and the paper quality and binding was all comparable. The paperback edition isn't as nice though and you lose some of the rich texture in the illustrations and the paper. Oh man I wish I had this version when I read it. That is sick as hell.

If your moving and have a lot of books my advice is to put them in several small box as opposed to all in one large rear end box that you need a pallet to move around just so that you don't kill yourself. Or donate/give away all the books you do not actually need or want.
