Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Endless Versions of Me: Divinely Becoming is a contemporary poetry collection about healing, identity, and the sacred act of becoming. Through intimate, emotionally honest poems, this book explores grief, love, spirituality, self-worth, and transformation. It honors the many versions of a woman's life; the ones shaped by loss, resilience, faith, and the courage to choose herself again and again. Healing is not presented as neat or linear, but as a living, breathing journey. Written for women navigating self-love, personal growth, heartbreak, and emotional healing, this collection speaks to readers who feel deeply, reflect often, and are learning to trust their intuition again. Endless Versions of Me is especially resonant for those drawn to modern poetry centered on empowerment, Black womanhood, spirituality, and inner strength.This book does not offer instructions. It offers recognition. Each poem serves as a quiet reminder that growth does not require perfection, only honesty.Open these pages as you would a mirror or a prayer. You may discover that you, too, are divinely becoming. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. "An astronomy book from 1474 has two wheels that turn to show the movements of the moon," wrote Carolyn Battista in the New York Times of March 27, 1988. "An 1850 work on obstetrics has 50 flaps that lift to reveal anatomical details. . . . These are among about 150 unusual works in an exhibit called 'Eccentric Books' at the Sterling Memorial Library at Yale. The exhibit catalogue defines eccentric books as those 'with movable parts, strange shapes and unique accessories.' In keeping with the eccentric spirit, the catalogue has not only an informative text, but also a pop-up paper dinosaur." (In fact, our copy in hand contains a yellow pop-up triceratops.) "The catalogue and the exhibit are the work of Gay Walker, the curator of the library's Arts of the Book Collection," Ms. Battista continues. " 'They have a tradition going back to the beginning of print,' said Ms. Walker, whose lecture on eccentric books for a Meriden book group led her to assemble the exhibit at the Sterling Library. For the exhibit, Ms. Walker said she sought the 'truly eccentric' books that were unusual in ways beyond content, typography, size, bindings or printing materials. She approached librarians at Yale and elsewhere. . . . She . . . chronicled for the catalogue text the development of such forms as fold-outs and pop-ups. Now, under Sterling's vaulted Gothic-style ceilings, display cases are filled with books whose peculiar components educate, entertain and surprise. . . . At the exhibit, Ms. Walker pointed out books with volvelles, or rotating wheels. The earliest in the exhibit is the 'Kalendar,' published in 1474 in Germany. It has two movable disks -- hand-colored woodcuts -- that show the travels of the moon. Displayed nearby is the 'Astronomicum Caesareum,' which Ms. Walker called the most magnificent example of volvelles in the exhibit. Dealing with stellar movements, it contains 21 volvelles and was made in 1540 by Petrus Apianus, the royal astronomer to King Charles V, who was sufficiently impressed to pay Apianus 3,000 florins and grant him a patent of nobility. . . . Among the oddly shaped books are . . . a program for an 1893 Harvard-Yale football game, which is shaped like a football and has a leather cover and leather lacing." We offer the softcover catalog for this exhibition -- possibly inspired by the collection of Fred J. Board of Stamford, who was in turn inspired by Walter Hart Blumenthal's 1955 book "Bookman's Bedlam" -- in green wraps (color of wraps apparently varied), one of "approximately 150" copies hand-bound by Ms. Walker, our copy numbered by means of cut-out black numerals on gold foil background glued to the rear colophon by Ms. Walker herself -- this copy being number 149 of 150. The pop-ups are somewhat modest but everything is intact and in fine working order. This catalog won the 1989 Division III (inexpensively produced) Leab Award of the American Library Association, the judges noting that "In addition to surveying the history of this genre, the catalog provides a useful classification scheme and extensive bibliography." 62 pp. plus pop-up. Our price for this hard-to-find item now reduced from $666. …
