Description: • For Your Consideration: • A First Edition, First Printing in HARDCOVER of: • “DELTA DOGS”(UNIVERISTY PRESS OF MISSISSIPPI, 2014) (HARDCOVER, First Edition, First Printing) • PHOTOGRAPHS BY MAUDE SCHUYLER CLAY • INTRODUCTION BY BRAD WATSON • ESSAY BY BETH ANN FENNELLY • ABOUT THIS TITLE: • “For the past fifteen years, CLAY has been driving the back roads photographing her native Delta. In the darkroom of her hundred-year-old family homestead in Sumner, Mississippi, she has developed hundreds of images of eroding architecture, misty bayous, small stands of woods, endless rows of crops. And dogs. CLAY has spotted and captured the elemental spirit of dogs eking out existences from this majestic landscape.”—THE PUBLISHER • “For finding poetry in this low, languorous countryscape, MS. CLAY deserves much credit.” —NEW YORK TIMES • “Hovering over it all is history, evoked in the words scrawled on a makeshift grave marker: ‘Gone but not forgotten.’ ” —THE NEW YORKER• “Is this the new South? This is the new South.” —WILLIAM EGGLESTON• “MAUDE SCHUYLER CLAY drives the back roads of her native Mississippi Delta looking for what she calls ‘the indigenous canine presence,’ and she doesn't have to look far. The dogs she finds possess soul, mystery, and an ineffable sense of sadness.” —SALLY MANN• “MAUDE’s inclusive landscapes are so evocative of the seeming timelessness of the Mississippi Delta. I'm reminded of the eye of EUDORA WELTY. Bravo MAUDE!” —MORGAN FREEMAN• “Lovely photos, timeless place. Enjoyed this after a trip to Meridian, MS and seeing her work in a local art museum. These are hauntingly beautiful.” —M. FRIS, AMAZON REVIEW• “Delta dogs aren’t city dogs. Beautiful, haunting photos depict the lives of dogs across the Delta. CLAY’s photos of haunting Delta landscapes stay with you long after you close the book.” —CT READER, AMAZON REVIEW• “MAUDE SCHUYLER CLAY is one of those rare photographers who captures the simple, desolate beauty of the Delta with the elegance of a Faulkner phrase or classic blues lyric.” —JAMES FRANCO• “MAUDE CLAY relentlessly tracks Mississippi Delta worlds through the eye of her camera. Her attention to detail and her deep love for dogs is evident in the beautiful photographs that grace the pages of her latest book. The introduction by BRAD WATSON, MAUDE’s afterword, and BETH ANN FENNELLY’s essay make this work a unique, powerful window on the Delta landscape and the presence of dogs on it.” —WILLIAM H.

The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven't described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect.
