Auction #2--A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style--Signed by the Author--**CLOSED**
A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style--Signed by the Author
by Tim Gunn and Kate Moloney
This book is signed by Tim Gunn.
Plucked straight from Parsons's New School for Design, television network Bravo found a surprising hero in Project Runway style mentor Gunn, whose catch phrase "make it work" has inspired an undeniable following of armchair fashionistas. Though he'll admit that book writing isn't easy, this venture marks another feather in his tasteful cap. A precursor of sorts to his new series on Bravo, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, this accessible guidebook covers it all, including the "hunt," "stalk" and "pounce" of "shopping at its most instinctual" (inspired by cheap, forward-looking clothiers H&M), what to ask yourself before taking advantage of a bargain (is it season-appropriate?), the difference between a fashion icon and a mentor (Gunn's the former, Coco Chanel the latter) and full-on closet reconstruction. Gunn's friendly, conversational prose will give readers the feeling of a face-to-face encounter, and Runway fans will be happy to find Gunn hasn't abandoned his colorful metaphors (shopping as "safari") and 50-cent words ("insouciant"). Whether revealing the secrets of "The Under Arsenal" or ruminating on the "tone" and "diction" of a handbag, Gunn's text is clever, a touch waggish, and highly practical for both ensemble mavens and fashion criminals.

I edited your post Brice, as I had forgotten to add in my original thing that the book was signed by Tim Gunn.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.

I'm just glad that someone else knows who Tim Gunn is. When Brice and Matt were preparing this little info blurb for the auction they were both like "I don't know who the H this guy is."
And I'm like"How could you not know Tim Gunn?!"
Make it work!

Auction 4
Scribner Hard Back Edition of Lisey's Story-With Slipcase
ISBN # 13: 978-0-7394-7653-6
Lisey (pronounced Lee-See) Landon is the widow of an award winning novelist, Scott Landon. In the middle of cleaning out Scott's study, Lisey realizes that there's a great deal about Scott's past (and the past they shared together) that she has blocked out--and with the introduction of a crazy man named Dooley, Lisey must figure out what she's hidden from herself (and what Scott has planned for her) if she's to remain alive. The story is deeply psychological in nature, capturing every essence of the psyche of Lisey as she engages on her quest.
