From one of America's most important writers, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, comes Perfume River, an exquisite novel that examines family ties and the legacy of the Vietnam war through the portrait of a single North Florida family.

Robert Quinlan is a seventy-year-old historian teaching at Florida State University, where his wife Darla is also tenured. Their marriage, forged in the fervor of anti-Vietnam War protests, now bears the fractures of time, with the couple trapped in an existence of morning coffee, solitary jogging, and separate offices. The cracks in Robert and Darla's relationship remain under the surface, whereas the divisions in Robert's family are more apparent: he has almost no relationship with his brother Jimmy, who became estranged from the family as the Vietnam War intensified. As Robert and Jimmy's father, who is a veteran of World War II, draws near to the end of his life, aftershocks of war ripple across the family once again, with Jimmy refusing to appear at his father's bedside. And an unstable homeless man, whom Robert meets at a restaurant and at first takes to be a fellow Vietnam veteran, turns out to have a deep impact not just on Robert, but on all of the people closest to him.

A profound and poignant novel that continues Butler's exploration of America, war, and the family, as begun in A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain and A Small Hotel, Perfume River is a powerful and moving portrait of the challenges of close relationships, the resonance of personal choice, and the American experience.

The quality of the book is quite good.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I am somewhat impressed with the quality of this book. I also want to say that the images taken are very beautiful and well detailed. This is an improvement on my previous review a couple of days later. I'm still very Impressed with the quality of the book. The cover and pages have a very smooth and fine texture and it feels like porcelain in your hand. The illustrations are amazing and very beautiful. I recommend this book to everyone who played the video game. This book should not be missing in your collection.

Big and Beautiful Artbook for Nioh Fans
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This book is amazing. Is my second time buying an artbook, both from Udon, I have no regrets, excellent quality and came really fast to Colombia. Book is quite long since it includes both Nioh and Nioh 2 art. My favorite sections are the characters and yokai ones. However is worthy to take a look at the scenario sketches and designs are really good also.

A beautiful artbook
Format: Hardcover
I love this book, it’s full of beautiful illustrations and designs for characters and enemies. I highly recommend this to anyone who love great video game art in general. It also provides a list of the armors and items that are found in both games.

Great Assassin's Creed Accessory
Format: Hardcover
Note this only really covers up to AC - Origins - so if you want modern knowledge you'll have to look for an updated one. That being said this has some great facts and photos in it that make this an instant pickup for any AC fan. Great table book for nerds.
