Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A sharp, collectible copy of David Sedaris' sixth collection of autobiographical essays, featuring many pieces first published in The New Yorker, Esquire, GQ, and heard on This American Life. The collection includes favorites such as It's Catching, Buddy, Can You Spare a Tie?, The Monster Mash, Memento Mori, April in Paris, and The Man in the Hut, showcasing Sedaris' trademark blend of self-deprecating humor, keen social observation, and unexpectedly poignant reflections.

Knopf - including the iconic cover for Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park - Kidd has designed thousands of book jackets and authored books on graphic design. His ability to combine fine art, typography, and conceptual imagery has made his work highly collectible in its own right, with many readers specifically seeking editions featuring his original jacket designs.

Unbound. No Jacket. First Edition. VG+ Used Condition, 1993, 1st edition, Box has some Rub & Wear.

First edition of this work unveiling the extraordinary stories behind seemingly ordinary books. Octavo, original publisher's cloth with gilt titles to the spine and front panel. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Foreword by Nicholas A. Basbanes. Jacket design by legendary designer Chip Kidd. In Provenance, Matthew Raptis, renowned rare book dealer and founder of Raptis Rare Books, examines how unassuming volumes can reveal extraordinary personal histories. Drawing on decades of experience in the rare book world, he reconstructs the lives and relationships of major figures in literature, politics, art, and culture through their books, highlighting what inscriptions, marginal notes, and private libraries disclose about intellectual habits, friendships, and inner lives. "Something we learn when studying provenance is that books, in a way, are itinerant pilgrims - they travel from place to place, and owner to owner, more often than not with stories to tell of their travels, a number of them you are about to enjoy in this book" (Nicholas A. Basbanes, Foreword).…
