FALL HIGHLIGHTS:

ART

Hamzanama is a colorful tale based loosely on the exploits of Hamza, an uncle of the prophet Muhammad, who travelled throughout the world spreading the doctrines of Islam. An illustrated version of the story was commissioned early in the reign of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, in the second half of the sixteenth century.  It consisted of over 1400 paintings of which only a tenth still survive today. The Adventure of Hamza brings together 60 of these works and places them with new translations of the related text passage. A beautiful and unique volume to add to any art collection. Available to purchase at the Fall Book Sale on September 25-29, 2024.

                                            Priced at $12.00

FIX-IT

Woodturning is the process of using tools, like a lathe, to cut and mould wood while it turns on an axis in rotation. Through the centuries, items from furniture to musical instruments were produced by turnery. The magazines listed below, from the early 2000s, will give you information on projects involving this interesting technique. Come and see our fix-it volumes at our next book sale!
