Square quarto, black cloth (hardcover), 128 pp. Near Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: There is an inherent nature in horses that draws people to them. Perhaps it is their beauty for their spirit. Or maybe that even in domestication, in their souls, they remain wild and free. All of these attributes are most certainly true of the Thoroughbred racehorse. And here, in "Hotbloods," award-winning photographer Jon Kral has captured the essence of the Thoroughbred racing horse and the bond with their caretakers in stunning black and white photography. Enjoy. Equestrian, Horseracing, Horse Racing, Photography, American Culture, Americana yslic.…

Signed and inscribed by the illustrator, Philip S. Steel. Square quarto, white cloth (hardcover), 32 pp. Fine (As New) in a Fine (As New) dust jacket. From dust jacket: Performed across the entire State of Florida s a unique combination of a one-man monodrama and a traveling art exhibit, Net Loss set tongues wagging about its controversial theme: the banning of certain types of net fishing in Florida and the staggering effect the ban had on generations of fishing families. It also broke ground as an innovative partnership between a dramatist and a painter, with both disciplines sharing equal billing in the production. Net Loss also focuses on a larger issue, the issue of art as social commentator. Although the net ban had taken effect several years prior to writer Evelyn Wilde Mayerson and artist Philip S Steel's groundbreaking partnership, the frustration felt by fishermen fairly roiled just below the surface of their feelings. Net Loss gave a voice to those who had virtually given up on ever having a public forum to express their disjoining sense of loss and helplessness. Although the production did not take an advocate's position on either side of the question, the audience was treated to a sympathetic examination of one fisherman's take on what had happened to him and many of his friends. Here, then, is Net Loss, reduced to its true essence. Evocative words and interpretive paintings that draw the reader down to the docks, the fish houses and boats of a changing breed of people whose lives depend on a natural resource in a world not controlled by nature.
