(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

My Business Is to Create: Blake's Infinite Writing
by
Eric G. Wilson
Gary Jones
, September 28, 2011
Eric Wilson's "My Business is to Create" offers innumerable insights and suggestions for the aspiring writer and for the student of William Blake's art. Wilson does a fine job of briefly exploring some of Blake's apparent contradictions, showing the creative tension inherent in the "contraries." Sometimes he drifts a little into either/orneriness, suggesting that Blake prefers one or another of the contraries, but over-all he explains and illustrates the 'infernal method,' the 'spiritual warfare,' and the 'play' of Blake's thought, writing, and visual art. Well worth reading and re-reading, for both writer and lover of language.

Hopscotch Hangman Hot Potato & Ha Ha Ha A Rulebook of Childrens Games
by
Jack Maguire

, September 05, 2011
This is a fine book for school teachers, children's recreation leaders, camp counselors, etc. Brief, clear descriptions with clear illustrations (line-drawings), and organized by where the games are played, with appendices arranging by player age and number of players. Plus an index. Very handy.

The Sports and Pastimes of the People of England
by
Joseph Strutt
Gary Jones
, February 21, 2009
Strutt's Sports and Pastimes is an invaluable scholarly resource for those studying the history of sports, games, and recreations. The Kessinger reprint makes it available at modest cost and thus provides a great service. But the quality of the copy is barely acceptable. It appears to have been scanned and printed without any effort to provide a truly readable copy. It is legible for the most part. But the top third or so of every recto page is grey and often illegible. Surely a better job could have been done.
