Item description from seller

New York: Crown Archetype, 2017. INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR in silver ink directly on the title page. SEE OUR PHOTOS. Near Fine condition in a bright and shiny Very Good dust jacket (only lightly rubbed). NOT price clipped ($28.00). Square and tight. Sharp corners. Pages are clean. Apparently seldom, if ever read. 2017. First printing with "First Edition" so stated and with complete number row (2468 10 97531) on the copyright page. Bound in the original black boards with a gilt-stamped black cloth spine. From the dust jacket: "Jazz could not contain Fred Hersch. Hersch's prodigious talent as a sideman -- a pianist who played with the giants of the twentieth century in the autumn of their careers, including Art Farmer and Joe Henderson -- blossomed further in the eighties and beyond into a compositional genius that defied the boundaries of bop, sweeping in elements of pop, classical, and folk to create a wholly new music. GOOD THINGS HAPPEN SLOWLY is his memoir. It's the story of the first openly gay, HIV-positive jazz player; a deep look into the cloistered jazz culture that made such a status both transgressive and groundbreaking; and a profound exploration of how Hersch's two-month-long coma in 2007 led to his creating some of the finest, most direct, and most emotionally compelling music of his career. Remarkable, and at times lyrical, GOOD THINGS HAPPEN SLOWLY is an evocation of the twilight of Post-Stonewall New York, and a powerfully brave narrative of illness, recovery, music, creativity, and the glorious reward of finally becoming oneself.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Very Good dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. (xi), 308pp. + 8 pages of photos. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
