Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Black cloth spine over burgundy paper-covered boards with white paper title onlay to front cover, illustrated endpapers, illustrated in color throughout. Toning from newsprint laid in between pages xii-xiii, else a fine copy. Is it a manufacturer's catalog? A literary zine? An art journal? From the manufacturer's website: "Throughout the 1930s and continuing through the 1950s, PHOENIX history was spoken elegantly through The Phoenix Flame, a stylish magazine that combined advertising and product highlights of the Phoenix Metal Cap Company along with poetry, humor and art. Editor-in-Chief, Hal Higdon, better known as HIG to the Phoenix Flame?s readers, gracefully juxtaposed style and function in a monthly publication that reached far beyond the manufacturers of products who purchased metal closures. This beautifully bound, high quality, saddle-stitched, print piece brought the wit and wisdom of life alive through full-color illustrations, black and white photography, and world-class writing.".…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This second novel by John M. Hooks, "A Sea of Butterflies" exposes the reader to the quiet, but devastating impact of racism and war on returning veterans of World War II. They were "The Greatest Generation", but for some, the adjustment to life after the war was impossible. The Book's beautiful, and simple prose drives a story that literally sucks the reader into this powerful story about the struggles of Charlie Campbell, one of many a returning veterans. The book is partially based on stories passed down by the author's Grandmother about life in the south prior to the great migration of blacks to the north. The author, as a teen ager wrote those stories on pages of his school notebooks. Many years later, after retiring from a career in substance abuse treatment, he skillfully blended his personal childhood observations of the veterans in his own family with his Grandmother's stories, and "A Sea of Butterflies" was born. At its heart, Butterflies easily exceeds all the requirements for a great book. It has all consuming, and realistic characters, including Nell, Charlie Campbell's niece and Jacob, the little cripple boy who loves to catch grasshoppers, and butterflies, and Bella, the mysterious young woman who feeds the homeless veterans. The storyline is compelling, and realistic; about love, sacrifice, and the protection of family. Finally, it has the third requirement for a great book. It has emotion, much of it raw and unpredictable. The story line is carried by Nell Campbell, a retired photojournalist. It has many twists and turns as she returns her uncle's ashes for burial in the rural south. It is a journey where she confronts her own family's southern roots, and comes to better understand the long-lasting power of drug addiction, love, and friendship. Ultimately, her journey leads her to discover the meaning of the whispers she overheard at home, while growing up as a child. Finally the trip leads her to the greatest story of her career. One she could never dare write, or publish. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
