Hollywood Costume Design by Travilla (Schiffer Book for Collectors) $41.48 Bill Travilla became a Hollywood star in his own right, thanks in large part to his premier client, actress Marilyn Monroe. Best known for designing Monroe’s costumes in eight films–including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire–Travilla also lit up the silver screen with designs for Tom Mix, Ann Sheridan, Errol Flynn, Joan Crawford, Jane Russell, Paul Newman, and Joanne Woodward, among others. When the golden era of Hollywood ended, Travilla focused on running his own couture-quality business. He also found time to free-lance for television epics such as Evita, The Thorn Birds, and Dallas. One Oscar and several Emmys later, it’s easy to recognize the legacy of this outstanding designer. Showcased here are many of Travilla’s original sketches for the stars, along with fascinating "costume check" and publicity photos. His rise from child art prodigy to celebrated designer is chronicled, painting a wonderful portrait of his rich contributions to the motion picture, television, and fashion industries. This beautiful book will be loved by all movie buffs, Monroe fans, Hollywood collectors, fashion historians, and students of costume design. |

Violet Trefusis $14.98 A remarkable woman in her own right and a highly gifted writer, Violet Trefusis is especially remembered for her scandalous affair with Vita Sackville-West, first disclosed in Portrait of a Marriage. After their abortive flight from their husbands in 1920, Vita returned to England and her writing, and Violet became an expatriate, immersing herself in international society and the world of art. This intriguing biography traces her life from a romantic childhood-when her mother, Alice Keppel, was the mistress of King Edward VII-to her death in Florence in 1972. A supplement of correspondence between Violet and Vita Sackville-West provides further insights into their relationship. The letters from Violet reveal, as nowhere else in her writing, the depth of her feelings for Vita. Those from Vita, written years later, attest that their love for one another never really ended. |

The Third Violet $12.48 The Third Violet may come as a surprise to readers familiar with Stephen Crane’s classic novel, The Red Badge of Courage. Crane wrote The Third Violet in 1895, in response to his new-found fame as a realist. His goal was to stretch his literary achievement beyond war stories to write a romantic tale. The Third Violet is the story of impressionist painter Billie Hawker’s romantic courtship of New York socialite Grace Fanhall. Dog-lovers will especially enjoy scenes featuring Billie’s Irish Setter, Stanley. Although it was not one of the author’s own favorite works, readers who enjoy romance will surely enjoy the light, charming story from a different era — a time when the deepest of feelings could be held in a single, tiny violet. |

Prater Violet $10.48 Fiction The classic novel on the golden era of film, now back in print! Originally published in 1945, Prater Violet is a stingingly satirical novel about the film industry. It centers around the production of the vacuous fictional melodrama Prater Violet, set in nineteenth-century Vienna, providing ironic counterpoint to tragic events as Hitler annexes the real Vienna of the 1930s. The novel features the vivid portraits of imperious, passionate, and witty Austrian director Friedrich Bergmann and his disciple, a genial young screenwriter-the fictionalized Christopher Isherwood. "Prater Violet, in my view, is one of the best short novels in English written in this century." Stanley Kauffmann "Prater Violet is the most charming novel I have read in a long time. . . . a novel about movie writers, which is yet a novel about the life of every serious artist." Diana Trilling "A deliberate historical parable. Prater Violet resembles the episodes in Goodbye to Berlin and keeps up the same high level of excellence." Edmund Wilson A major figure in both twentieth-century fiction and the gay rights movement, Christopher Isherwood (1904-1986) is also the author of Down There on a Visit, Lions and Shadows, The Memorial, The World in the Evening, and A Meeting by the River, all available in paperback editions from the University of Minnesota Press. |

Together they will show the world the way they want it to be, and maybe then the world will become that place –a place where people no longer hate or fight or want to hurt. But when desire and ambition threaten to rip a seamless friendship apart, only one thing can make two halves whole again–the power of love.Francesca Lia Block’s latest novel is a beautifully told story that boldly combines the world of film with the lyrical graceful language of poetry.
