Dreams Through the Glass Windows from Bergdorf Goodman by Linda Fargo, 1st Ed
Located in valatie, NY
Dreams Through the Glass: Windows from Bergdorf Goodman by Linda Fargo. Assouline, NY, 2003. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. Each window is a fantastic tableau, a narrative, a piece of theater inviting the viewer into rich imaginary worlds of fashion and surrealistic luxury. Window design is a vanishing metier, but it remains an enduring art form providing rare views through the glass into fantastic realms of dreams and fantasy. In these pages, Linda Fargo, the renowned window artist for Bergdorf Goodman, opens up her portfolio of magical tableaux created especially for this crown jewel of the retail world. Her palette is wonderfully rich and eclectic, juxtaposing relics of the past and the present, symbols of art and literature, western culture and exotic lands, moving easily between the marvelous and the everyday. These windows continue to astonish and delight all who flock to them for the traditional annual Christmas displays...

Things That Go Bump in the Night Hardcover by Louis C. Jones, 1st Ed
Located in valatie, NY
Things That Go Bump in the Night Hardcover by Louis C. Jones. Hill and Wang, NY, 1959. 1st Ed hardcover with Mylar covered dust jacket. Contains more than 200 stories of the restless dead, most from around New York state; each of the six chapters is made up of a continuous flow of narrative. Ghosts, in various forms, are seen and talked about all over the world. People who have recently come to America, as well as those whose families have lived here for generations, tell ghost stories, and it is this basic American folklore that Dr. Jones has collected and retold. Included are stories about haunted houses, murder, murderers, revenge, suicide, and the hungers that bring the departed back to their earthly haunts. The chapter on haunted history, containing more than forty stories, is a kind of spooky chronology of American history. The stories begin with the Indians, tell of the French and Indian wars, the Revolution, the early days on New York State's Erie Canal, Martin Van Buren...

Gilpin, Wm: Observations... on Great Britain, and High-Lands of Scotland, 2 vols
Located in Middletown, NY
This is Gilpin's third in his series of works tracing picturesque beauty in British natural landscapes. In it he portrays the landscapes of Scottish Highlands, and describes them lyrically in his text. Prefacing the list of Prints at the end of the second volume, the author says "With regards to the prints, which adorn these volumes, I can only say..... that few of them pretend to be 'exact portraits.' They in general 'only characterize the countries,' through which the reader is carried." The illustrations, based on Gilpin's sketches, were etched by his nephew William Sawrey Gilpin using the newly invented aquatint process. This volume also includes a technical discourse about drawing and the mixing of colors, including a chart (vol. 1, p. 131-134)
William Gilpin (1724 – 1804) was an English artist, Church of England cleric, schoolmaster and author. He is best known as a travel writer and as one of those who originated the idea of the picturesque. Gilpin's tour journals circulated in manuscript to friends such as the poet William Mason and a wider circle including Thomas Gray...
