Jaime Robles' newest collection, Hoard, invites the reader to investigate the permeability of boundaries, those that connect and divide lovers, as well as the ones that contain buried treasures. The book explores how we pattern expectation, hope and loss with the same intricacy and devotion to detail and expressiveness that we use when we craft gold objects and that typifies the writing process. How these same expectations and limits are buried in one's mind/body-or, in the case of the Hoxne hoard, in the earth to be spared harm and recovered-is the central motif of this beautifully crafted book. (Maxine Chernoff)

Store Description

Shadow Books sells all manner of second-hand, out of print and rare books; but not popular paperback fiction. If we have a speciality, it is a broad academic one embracing the humanities fields of history, politics, classic literature, art history, media, history of ideas. We pride ourselves on setting our prices - quality for quality - at the low end of the range, on the scrupulous way we describe our books, on the rapidity with which we dispatch orders, and on our prompt and friendly response to customers and their queries.
