The Cure: Ten Imaginary Years - By Robert Smith, Barbarian, and Steve Sutherland. Very rare and out of print. This book is the definitive version of the first ten years of The Cure. It takes us from Robert's early school days to the height of 1986, without leaving anyone behind. By far, the best Cure biography to date. From the back cover, "At last! Here it is! The inside watching it all slide by... 'Ten Imaginary Years', the open true and dreaming story of the Cure. The authorized! The official! The real! And the only. Truth and lies from the mouths that count. And the reasons why. And the reasons why not... The answers. The explanations. The obscurities. And all the ways to skin a cat... So take the tail and read your way back. The official Cure biography containing direct source material and many previously unpublished photographs. One look is not enough". It's practically exploding with tons of rare, great pictures. The baby pictures of the band members are a perfect ending. You will not find any other Cure book that will be more on the mark than this one. In excellent condition. Smoke-free, pet-free household. I've seen this selling for as much as $80 online.

The Pre-Raphaelites - By Christopher Wood, hardcover. The hardcover version of this book is rare and out-of-print. Chart the rise and legacy of the Pre-Raphaelites and see how this most admired British art movement was born. Dozens of reproductions attest to these painters' scrupulous attention to natural details: more than 40 artists are represented, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Arthur Hughes, Edward Burne-Jones, John William Waterhouse, and Ford Maddox Brown. According to reviews, "This book is profusely illustrated with beautiful, full-page, color images - nearly all of the pictures mentioned in the text are reproduced in good quality, so one immediately sees what is being described by the author. The text is free of jargon, lucid and highly entertaining. Basic facts are rendered, short biographies of major painters are here, as well as some historical background (for example, the Aesthetic Movement and Oscar Wilde). This book is the most beautifully, and thoroughly done book on the Pre-Raphaelites that I have ever read. The prints are exceptional and the history reads like a novel." Aside from some minor shelf wear, it is in excellent condition. Smoke-free, pet-free household.

The Romanti-Goth A to Z Coloring Book - This book is an alphabetical trip through the aesthetic world of our favorite Victorian house dwelling, Eyeliner applying, Hearse driving, Night worshipping friends of the Goth pantheon - the Romanti-Goth! Here, honored in full glory, are twenty six specifically chosen images of a Lace and Corset wearing world which is populated by those who find a Graveyard to be the perfect place for a picnic, Thirteen cats to be the perfect pets, and everyday to be Halloween. However, the illustrations (crafted, by Heather Stanley, from experience and the friends around her) are not dour. Instead, the style of the imagery is jovial, celebrating the joy of playing dress up - which is, to Seraphemera Books, at the heart of the Romanti-Goth culture. Of course, going from costume to costume is also a common activity of childhood. Thus, a coloring book seems like an obvious endeavor. Turn these pages and find images that are playful enough for children (although some pictures might require some explanation), but are endearing to those who haven't thought of picking up a crayon, oil pastel, or magic marker, in years. Yet, you still have the inclination to draw, paint, sing, dance, write... and although you have lost track of some of the time and space for art, the desire has never been left behind. Thus, when the Yellow Hurty Thing in the sky smiles down upon the world, yet you are trying to keep your pale delicate complexion from seeing the light of day, the Romanti-Goth A to Z Coloring Book is the perfect way to while away the hours until the clouds and rain rescue the weekend adventures, or nightfall comes and the moon says, "Come out and play!" So, if you remember painting on backstage walls while others played sports... or you were creating stories with stuffed animal Bats, Spider hats and Masquerade ballrooms while siblings played video games... this book is for you, whether you are a Fishnet covered, Jack-O-Lantern carving, Absinthe drinking, card-carrying Goth, or not. Size: 8.5" by 11". Brand new. Multiple copies available! Selling for $7.99 each (plus $2 shipping)

This is a great snapshot of the music scene back in 1993.
