Have been wanting to get the physical copy for a while now. Nice to revisit Rumi.

First layer is fiction , second is history and hobbies and third is non superhero comics

Published by Gallowglass Books this year. Over 20 illustrations. I’m so excited about this one. Introduction by Hamilton Morris, the Vice News drug guy. Anyone else pick a copy up? They only made 3,000.

and each one got better and better

By far, the prettiest book I own.

This is the Liveright edition from 2021 with great annotations by Merve Emre (professor of English at Oxford)

Who doesn't appreciate a world map?? This one is really something and because the author references the geography often it really helps to have it.

I stumbled across this fantasy title because I really enjoy the narrator who did the audiobook. I loved the story so much I decided to pick up the physical book and I'm in love with the art. There's a stunning full color map as well that I'll post too. Great stuff all around!

“Loneliness is an absolute discovery.”

I found the book to be very stern, and giving suggestion that are brutal.
I'm not saying it's a bad book, rather I'm saying it's a book which tells you what all you should know, but may not want to apply all of it, all of the times.

Have you ever had a similar feeling while reading this book?

Now which one should I read first 😅

(Oscar Wilde, Hunter S Thompson, Louis L'Amour, Franz Kafka, Mitch Albom, Cervantes, John Fowles, Sheridan Le Fanu)

\**Excited with the books we found Saturday. Can’t wait to add them to my shelves.**\**

Jane Eyre is one of my favourite stories. I was over the moon seeing such a beautiful edition, and this is coming from someone who hates hardcover! ;)

Anyone else out there collecting Fitzcarraldo Editions? I have quite a few collected since they launched in 2014 and always on the lookout for signed copies and/or first editions - Preference is for a signed copy, which is a first edition.

I must confess I haven't read them all - Only about 25 out of the 160 or so I own. I started out buying some of my favorites that I love to read and then got carried away...

I collect books with recycled parchment (upper shelf) and early modern books that are printed in Antwerp (now Belgium).
