Review
"In "A Woman of Means," as in virtually everything else Taylor has written, the reader is transported into a place so faithfully similar to the real world, yet so imbued with a knowledge of it that none of us can hope to possess, that one is left breathless with admiration."--Jonathan Yardley, " The Washington Post Book World"
"The mood of the novel, which is elegiac, and its style, which is spare and precise, are reminiscent of Willa Cather."--"The New Yorker"
"No description of mere mortals or events can indicate the particular kind of excitement it possesses . . . the excitement of being constantly on the verge of deep perceptions and deep interpretations."--Robert Penn Warren, "The New York Times"
An astonishing combination of clarity and subtlety . . . This brief novel moves with the quality of the best modern fiction. "Chicago Sunday Tribune"

Store description
We owned and operated The Looking Glass Bookstore in downtown Portland, Oregon for thirty years. Our citations on this site are the accumulation of first editions, small press, galleys, letter press, and other interesting books and ephemera that we set aside over those years. Almost everything we saved was new, added to boxes that were sealed and kept until now. If you're looking for a particular item please let us know.
