Fulgor y muerte de Joaquín Murieta
Pablo Neruda
SIGNED
Literature, Rare items
First edition of Fulgor y muerte de Joaquín Murieta, Santiago de Chile, 1967, signed by Pablo Neruda.
This copy has travelled a little, though not quite as far and as poorly as Joaquín Murieta, and so shows some soiling and with a slightly faded signature, but is a nice example of this title with Neruda's typical cursive!
COMES WITH A FIRST PRESSING VINYL
of Fulgor y muerte de Joaquín Murieta recorded by Sergio Ortega
Here it here.

‘Tamarock’
Jesse Matas in Concert
Saturday 6th June
Events, Literature
We host folk singer-songwriter, Jesse Matas, as he passes through Madrid.
We first met back in Paris back when we were fresh faced booksellers and when he told us he was passing through, we obviously had to say yes.
Check out a tune or two and come down!
€10 / ticket
Jesse Matas is a songwriter, poet and multi-instrumentalist from Treaty One Territory in Winnipeg, Manitoba. For a decade, he toured extensively throughout North America and Europe, releasing three full length albums as a one third of his band Crooked Brothers. In more recent years he has toured solo, releasing a debut LP under his own name. Throughout this time, Jesse and the Crooked Brothers won or were nominated for several national awards including a Canadian Folk Music Award and a Western Canadian Music Award. Their music has been featured on HBO and in major motion pictures. They also put on a notoriously good live show, a tradition that Jesse has carried into his own performances. In 2018, his debut solo album, Tamarock, was released on StoNote Records. It was named Album of the Year by three radio shows on two continents and was on regular rotation on major and community radio in Canada, the UK, US, France, Belgium, and Netherlands. There are plans for a new release with subsequent tours in 2025-26.

Bookland Passport
Literature, Rare items
The Bookland Passport

Get it stamped, signed, or whatever you like, wherever you find an independent bookshop!
Riso printed and beautifully illustrated
All about Bookland:
Bookland is a country you reach through reading, through talking about books with your friends, and through hanging out in your local bookshop. Though we issue passports for Bookland, the territory it encompasses spans the entire known world, plus quite a few as yet unexplored dimensions, and also exists across the totality of the Temporal Realm. Bookland's National Motto is LIBRI SINE TERMINO, which can translate two ways, either as "Books Without Borders" or "Books Without End". All indie bookshops are unofficial Embassies of Bookland, and any can become an Official Embassy simply by issuing passports which can be supplied by emailing the mysterious Secretary to the Grand High Ambassador of Bookland. Citizens of Bookland don't need documentation to prove their status... but it sure is fun!
