  2. Just discovered your blog. Thank you for the fantastic posts - from articoles to Ganga Devi, melting children and surreal Taro cards. Today I am searching for a used copy of Grande Sertao Veredas by Guimaraes Rosa in Portuguese in Belo Horizonte, Brasil. I see the English translation has not been re-issued. Am I right? Again, thanks.

  3. Thank you Eweick -- that English translation was never reprinted. I would love to see the Brazilian book cover if you find it!

  4. Will,
    Be glad to share the Grande Sertao cover when I find it. Meanwhile, with renewed interest, I examine the beautiful Traite des Couleurs, by Goethe, 1st French edition found by chance on my Mom's book shelf. Great art and science stories behind it. Thought it might interest you. Some photos:
