Notes from the 48th California International Antiquarian Book Fair
I’ve just returned from a book weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area where I was able to spend a day at both the 48th California International Antiquarian Book Fair and the CODEX Book Fair.
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman; Published by the Arion Press
This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue … Continue reading
Moby Dick; Published by University of California Press & Arion Press
As an Arion Press subscriber, it would be disingenuous to claim that I did not wish that my subscription had begun in 1979 when the press’ leviathan edition of Moby Dick was published. Alas, I was but a senior in … Continue reading
A Coney Island of the Mind; Published by the Arion Press
I’ve been visiting San Francisco regularly since I switched to the west coast from the east coast by way of university somewhere in between. One constant of my visits has been bookstores. Another has been bars. Now it leans heavily … Continue reading
Melville’s Selected Poems; Published by the Arion Press
Like many people for whom Moby Dick is the first thing that comes to mind when Herman Melville is mentioned, I’m not sure I was really aware of his poetry. Even after my second reading of Moby Dick, I never … Continue reading
Whitman’s Leaves of Grass; To be published by the Arion Press!!!
I love Whitman. Love, love, love, Whitman. I am so happy to hear that the 100th publication of the Arion Press will be Leaves of Grass.

When I think of Porgy & Bess, I immediately hear the song Summertime in my head. That’s the power of the associative property of music. Granted this is an opera, so music is implied, but I’ve never been to an … Continue reading
Arion Press Animal Farm is shipping!
I’m looking forward to reading and reviewing this classic masterpiece by George Orwell. Great to see it given the fine press treatment and more good stuff on the horizon from the press. Stay tuned…
Now shipping: The Arion Press Porgy & Bess
I just received my copy of the libretto by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin and will hopefully get a review up as soon as I get the chance to read it. Illustrated by Kara Walker. Let me just say that … Continue reading
The Day of the Locust by Nathanael West; Published by the Arion Press
Let me just say right off that this was not my favorite novel. It could be because the subject matter isn’t of much interest to me. I’m not much of a movie or television watcher, so Hollywood’s film history doesn’t … Continue reading
