Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(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...

Cloud Atlas MTI

I usually find that books which feature stories within stories within stories also feature a lot of very visible seams holding the assemblage precariously together. CLOUD ATLAS not just pulls this off seamlessly but makes each story quite needed to properly understand them all.

Wildwood Chronicles

If you are considering a limited edition then I will assume you know what the book is about and confine my comments to the production values of this outstanding, signed and limited volume. I was surprised at the quality of the book which exceeded my expectations. One thing that I expected was a high print run. But my book is numbered 122/500 and 500, as any book collector will tell you, is a very desirable print run. The tipped-in and signed illustration is in a mylar covering which is a nice, protective touch. The look and feel of the stamped boards and the matching slipcase is equivalent to that of other limited editions I own (of other titles of course) that cost hundreds of dollars more. The actual signatures are neat, readable and positioned nicely, they don't look rushed. (Sometimes I think some authors approach limited edition signings the way I used to hate writing "I will do better" in school for 500 lines.) Oh, and don't forget the included bookmark that is impregnated with flower seeds to start a garden! Overall, if you love WILDWOOD and you love limited editions, if you collect and prize your books then this is more then just an excellent value. It's a once-in-a-lifetime and affordable opportunity. Go for it!
