(LAMBERT, ALIX). Lambert, Alix. Alix Lambert & Viggo Mortensen, Editors. ALIX LAMBERT: THE SILENCING. Santa Monica, CA: Perceval Press, 2008. First Edition. 8vo. Gilt Debossed Boards. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 108pp, profusely illustrated in b&w. Text in English and Russian. Designed by Michele Perez. "The images in this book are of murder sites. They are about absence: what's not there, what has happened there, what might still happen there, what lies just around the corner, over the horizon, on the other side of the road. They are about possibility, loss, death, pain, passion, and they are also about hope. The interviews that accompany them are personal accounts - memories, thoughts, and feelings about the six Russian journalists who lost their lives in these places - from those who knew them, worked with them, loved them, admired them, and needed them". From Viggo Mortensen's Perceval Press comes this gritty new photographically illustrated publication from artist/filmmaker Alix Lambert, whose recent works include the three volume survey of "Russian Criminal Tattoos" and her feature length documentary on the same subject - "The Mark of Cain". A pristine copy of the unavailable 2008 first printing still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 0-9763009-6-6 Inventory Number: 015171

(MILSTEIN, STANLEY). Milstein, Stanley & Viggo Mortensen. FURLOUGH 55: PHOTOGRAPHS BY STANLEY MILSTEIN. Santa Monica, CA: Perceval Press, 2005. First Edition. 8vo. Illustrated Boards. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 92pp, profusely illustrated in b&w. From Viggo Mortensen's Perceval Press, "Furlough 55" takes us back to the relatively innocent time and place that was post-World War II Europe through the eyes of photographer Stanley Milstein, U.S. Army Specialist, Second Class. A creative and inquisitive young man leaving his native Brooklyn for the first time, he captured in carefully-composed black and white portraits and landscapes an ephemeral historical moment, bearing witness to a largely-vanished era of European-American fellowship and hope. Now, fifty years later, his original negatives have been lovingly restored and used to make the captivating images that his son, printer Hugh Milstein, has provided for this book. Included is a dialogue between Viggo Mortensen and Hugh Milstein during the conceptual stages of Furlough 55".

(CERVENKA, EXENE). Cervenka, Exene. Preface By Kristine McKenna. MAGICAL METEORITE SONGWRITING DEVICE: COLLAGES BY EXENE CERVENKA. Santa Monica, CA: Perceval Press, 2006. First Edition. Small Square 4to. Illustrated Boards. Artist Monograph. Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. 50pp, profusely illustrated in color. Hot off of Viggo Mortensen's Perceval Press, this is a visually arresting book of legendary X vocalist and poet Exene Cervenka's artwork! "Exene Cervenka's provocative collages, which have garnered high praise in recent New York and Los Angeles gallery shows, are accompanied in this volume by a preface from Kristine McKenna. There is, in McKenna's words, "an ineffable melancholy that permeates" Cervenka's art, and a "haunting power to evoke a childhood lost." In the work represented, you will find a "scent of longing and nostalgia... It is invariably tempered with the essential spirit of her art, which is tender and lyrical. In the end, each piece she's made is a valentine to a fragile America that's disappearing before our very eyes, and an homage to the indomitable persistence of beauty".

(SIMPSON, WILLIAM). Davis, Mike. Viggo Mortenson & Pilar Perez, Editors. PIRATES, BATS, AND DRAGONS: A SCIENCE ADVENTURE. Santa Monica, CA: Perceval Press, 2004. First Edition. 8vo. Illustrated Boards. Illustrated Book. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 178pp, illustrated in b&w. Designed by Michele Perez. MacArthur fellow Mike Davis is the author of several books including "City of Quartz", "Dead Cities: And Other Tales", and "Ecology of Fear". In this, his second book of fiction intended for young adults (published by Viggo Mortensen) "Jack, Conor, and Julia (the young heroes of "The Land of the Lost Mammoths") join a United Nations research team reconnoitering the vast limestone caverns under Socotra. Described by Marco Polo as the "most enchanted land on earth," Socotra is legendary for its witches and latter-day pirates. Its ancient people live in high mountains forested with dragon's blood trees, frankincense, and myrrh. They speak a unique language, live in caves, and are believed to be partly descended from settlers sent by Alexander the Great. They also tell unsettling tales of "dragons" that live beneath the earth. But Socotra is also caught up in the whirlwinds of international intrigue and the "war against terrorism." The kids' scientific mission (led by Julia's advisor, Dr. Hasan) is shadowed from the beginning by the ominous Colonel Strong and his Delta Force commandos, as well as by warnings of the notorious pirate Kaitos. After a terrifying attack by carnivorous crabs, the threesome seek shelter with a beautiful witch, Tatra, who warns them of an approaching horror almost beyond imagination. A secret U.S. anti-terrorist operation goes disastrously wrong when Kaitos (Tatra's brother) captures a doomsday cargo that could threaten the entire world. Jack and Dr. Hasan are captured by the pirates, while Conor and Julia (and her fearless pet civet) are marooned in a cave full of bats and huge but unknown predators. As in The Land of the Lost Mammoths, the ultimate drama is the moral choice the team must make: they must risk their own survival for the sake of truth and nonviolence. In a stunning final confrontation, the three young scientists and their friends battle not only sharks and dragons, but also an entire world of official deception". It is illustrated throughout by William Simpson. A pristine copy of the first printing still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 0-9747078-2-1 Inventory Number: 009812

(NEWSOM, DAVID). Newsom, David. SKIP: PHOTOGRAPHS BY DAVID NEWSOM. Santa Monica, CA: Perceval Press, 2005. First Edition. 8vo. Illustrated Boards. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 40pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. From Viggo Mortensen's Perceval Press, David Newsom's "Skip" is a moving and highly personal view of the landscape his older brother Lloyd (Skip) Curtis Newsom, Jr. inhabits. The images in this book, tender as they are austere, not only bear witness to the photographer's appreciation for the natural beauty of a particular corner in South-Eastern Idaho, but also represent his sincere attempt to see that place as his beloved brother does. An attempt to learn, as Skip has, to understand and embrace this harsh new landscape as home. Dying weeds going into autumn, menacing skies, mountains so distant as to appear unreachable, isolated view of phone pole, road sign, new coat, old blue truck, and the snowy path to their sister's yellow house... These images remind us, as Ralph Waldo Emerson did, that "Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts".
