McPhee, John A.; Howarth, William L. (Editor) The John McPhee Reader
Farrar Straus & Giroux 1986 0374517193 / 9780374517199 Trade Paperback Very Good
Very-good condition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Covers are clean (NO tears). NO writing or tears inside book. Tight spine, bright pages. 385 pages. Synopsis The John McPhee Reader, first published in 1976, is comprised of selections from the author’s first twelve books. In 1965, John McPhee published his first book, A Sense of Where You Are; a decade later, he had published eleven others. His fertility, his precision and grace as a stylist, his wit and uncanny brilliance in choosing subject matter, his crack storytelling skills have made him into one of our best writers: a journalist whom L.E. Sissman ranked with Liebling and Mencken, who Geoffrey Wolff said is bringing his work to levels that have no measurable limit, who has been called a master craftsman so many times that it is pointless to number them. Biography John McPhee -- a writer with The New Yorker since 1965 -- writes about most anything that piques his interest, from California geology to the arc of a tennis ball to the construction of a birch-bark canoe. His beautifully articulated structures, clear prose, and participatory voice have become a model for other literary journalists, Norman Sims wrote in the Dictionary of Literary Biography.

McPhee, John A. The Ransom of Russian Art
Farrar Straus & Giroux 1994 0374246823 / 9780374246822 First Edition Hard Cover As New As New
As-New / Unread copy - Color and black-and-white illustrations (art) - Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $20.00 - 181 pages - In the 1960s and 1970s, an American professor of Soviet economics forayed on his own in the Soviet Union, bought the work of underground "unofficial" artists, and brought it out himself or arranged to have it illegally shipped to the United States. Norton Dodge visited the apartments of unofficial artists in at least a dozen geographically scattered cities. By 1977, he had a thousand works of art. His ultimate window of interest involved the years from 1956 to 1986, and through his established contacts he eventually acquired another eight thousand works - by far the largest collection of its kind. John McPhee investigates Dodge's clandestine activities in the service of dissident Soviet art, his motives for his work, and the fates of several of the artists whose lives he touched.
