Image not available

Description: "Tango with Cows: Translation, Facsimile, and Commentary--a collaboration between Daniel Mellis and Eugene Ostashevsky and published by Editions 42°--is an attempt to give the English speaker access to not only the language of the original, but also its typography, design, and materiality. Every detail has been analyzed and recreated as closely as possible, from the color and texture of the wallpaper to the slight imperfections of its printed letterforms. A facsimile of the original held by the Getty Research Institute and an extensive commentary volume with a portfolio of facsimiles completes the edition."--Tango with Cows website.

Rare Books

"Two by Two is a fast-paced swirl through the dancing scene in L. A., where Leonardo DiCaprio has been known to swing at The Derby and Sandra Bullock salsas at El Floridita. Eve Babitz, a writer known for her hip, off-the-cuff, idiosyncratic style, spends two years of her life, ruins nine pairs of shoes, and goes through countless dance partners learning to appreciate and master all the hot dances from foxtrot and two-step to lindy, tango, salsa, and swing. Along the way she meets obsessed dancers and listens night after night as they pour out the secrets of their style - who the best teachers are, where to find the perfect dancing shoes, and how to fall in love with your partner."--BOOK JACKET.
