About the Item
From the personal 1st edition collection of famed memoirist, Augusten Burroughs comes this pristine copy of Joan Didion's iconic memoir, The Year of Magical Thinking. The book is sleeved in plastic, so the "wrinkles" you see in the images are reflections. This first edition is in mint condition and it is signed by the author.
From Wikipedia:
"The Year of Magical Thinking is a memoir by Joan Didion, accounting of the year following the death of her husband John Gregory Dunne in 2003. Published by Knopf in October 2005, The Year of Magical Thinking was immediately acclaimed as a classic book about mourning. It won the 2005 National Book Award for Nonfiction[1] and was a finalist for both the National Book Critics Circle Award[2] and the Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography.[3] In 2024, The New York Times Book Review ranked The Year of Magical Thinking as the 12th best book of the 21st century.[4] It was adapted into a play in 2007."
A rare opportunity to own a modern literary masterpiece of memoir in superior condition.

Pair Folk Art Paintings on Wood Panel, 1980s, by Moses Tolliver "MoseT"
Located in Southbury, CT
My uncle Bob was a country lawyer in rural Alabama and Moses Tolliver was one of his friends and clients. The pair of original paintings you see here were given to my uncle by Mr. Tolliver in exchange for legal services in the 1980s.
Both the human figure and the snake were painted on scrap wood paneling and each has an aluminum beer pull-tab on the back for hanging. The works have been framed so the pull tab is not visible; if you prefer, simply remove the frames and both pieces will be as created.
The snake painting...
