New York, New York, U.S.A. Doubleday 2002 0385502044 / 9780385502047 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

"In an irresistible tale of a life lived fully, if not always wisely, Liam Clancy, of the legendary Irish group the Clancy Brothers, describes his eventful journey from a small town in Ireland in the 1930s into the heart of the New York music scene in the 1950s and 60s. Following in the grand tradition of such Irish memoirs as 'Angela's Ashes' and 'Are You Somebody?', Liam Clancy relates his life's story in a raucously funny and star-studded account of moving from provincial Ireland to the bars and clubs of New York City, to the cusp of fame as a member of Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers. Born in 1935, the eleventh out of as many children, young Liam was a naive and innocent lad of the Old Country. His memories of childhood include bounding over hills, streams, and the occasional mountain, getting lost, and eventually found, and making mischief in the way of a typical Irish boy.In music circles, the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem are known as the Beatles of Irish music. The band's music continues to play on jukeboxes in pubs and bars, in living rooms of folk music fans, and in Irish American homes throughout the country. Liam Clancy's lively memoir captures their wild adventures on the road to fame and fortune, and brings to life a man who never lets himself off the hook for his sins, and happily views his success as a blessing."

Holden, Raymond The Virtuoso Conductors : The Central European Tradition from Wagner to Karajan
New Haven, CT Yale University Press 2005 0300093268 / 9780300093261 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Fine hardcover in fine dust jacket; never having been read and as new, the book is clean, tight, square, and free of any markings; unclipped dust jacket shows very light shelf wear; book and jacket protected by newly applied Brodart clear cover; 370 pages with index, bibliography, and end notes; illustrated with 10 pages of black & white photographs. In a scholarly, but readable book, the author argues that "it was the ideas and parctices of Richaed Wagner that laid the foundation for the modern virtuoso conductor and it was his approach to performance that influenced the interpretations of future generations. This book not only examines Wagner's career as a conductor and the principles of his musical performance, it also considers many of the greatest figures of the Central European conducting tradition, including Bulow, Nikisch, Mahler, Weingartner, Richard Strauss, Walter, Klemperer, Furtwangler, and Karajan. In each case (the author) traces their rise from apprenticeship to international acclaim, comparing rehearsal techniques, use of the baton and eye contact, repertoire, tempo, recordings, style and performance practice."

Jackson, Michael Moonwalk
New York, New York, U.S.A. Harmony Books 2009 0307716988 / 9780307716989 First Thus Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near fine hardcover book in near fine dust jacket; book is clean, square, tight and free from any markings showing only light bumping to the board edges and very light evidence of having been gently read; unclipped dust jacket shows very light shelf wear; book and jacket now protected by newly applied Brodart clear cover; 300 pages; well-illustrated with both color and black & white photographs; color-illustrated endpages; originally published in 1998, this edition- reissued after Michael's death- contains a new Introduction by Motown founder Berry Gordy, and a new Afterword by Michael Jackson’s editor and publisher, Shaye Areheart. " Megastar Michael Jackson’s singularly brilliant career and intensely private lifestyle have become a magnificent obsession for millions of rock fans and celebrity watchers throughout the world. His double-platinum singles rocket to the top of the music charts with a velocity equaled only by the inevitable accompaniment of wild rumors about his eccentric personal life. Now for the first time, Michael Jackson breaks the fiercely guarded barrier of silence that has surrounded him in a remarkably candid and courageous book. In this intimate and often moving personal account of Michael Jackson’s public and private life, he recalls a childhood that was both harsh and joyful but always formidable. Michael and his brothers played amateur music shows and seamy Chicago strip joints until Motown’s corporate image makers turned the Jackson 5 into worldwide superstars...He talks about the happy prankster days of his youth, traveling with his brothers, and of his sometimes difficult relationships with his family over the years. He speaks candidly about the inspiration behind his music, his mesmerizing dance moves, and the compulsive drive to create that has made him one of the biggest stars in the music business and a legend in his own time...In Moonwalk, Michael Jackson shares his personal feelings about some of his most public friends- friends like Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, Fred Astaire, Marlon Brando, and Katharine Hepburn. He talks openly about the crushing isolation of his fame, of his first love, of his plastic surgery, and of his wholly exceptional career and the often bizarre and unfair rumors that have surrounded it. Illustrated with rare photographs from Jackson family albums and Michael’s personal photographic archives, as well as a drawing done by Michael exclusively for this book, Moonwalk is a memorable journey to the very heart and soul of a modern musical genius."
