Bryson, Bill A Short History of Nearly Everything
Broadway May 6, 2003 0-7679-0817-1 / 9780767908177 1st Edition Hardcover F/NF
A highly collectible tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. From primordial nothingness to this very moment, A Short History of Nearly Everything reports what happened and how humans figured it out. To accomplish this daunting literary task, Bill Bryson uses hundreds of sources, from popular science books to interviews with luminaries in various fields. His aim is to help people like him, who rejected stale school textbooks and dry explanations, to appreciate how we have used science to understand the smallest particles and the unimaginably vast expanses of space. With his distinctive prose style and wit, Bryson succeeds admirably.

Bryson, Bill Down Under
Transworld Pub July 31, 2001 0-552-99703-X / 9780552997034 Paperback Near Fine
As his many British fans already know, bearded Yankee butterball Bill Bryso n specialises in going to countries we think we know well, only to return w ith travelogues that are surprisingly cynical and yet shockingly affectiona te. It's a unique style, possibly best suited to the world's weirder destin ations. It's helpful here: Bryson's latest subject is that oddest of contin ents, Australia.

Bryson, Bill Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe
Black Swan April 2, 1998 0-552-99806-0 / 9780552998062 Paperback Good
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: After 20 years as a London-based reporter, American journalist Bryson ( The Mother Tongue ) set out to retrace a youthful European backpacking trip, from arctic Norway's northern lights to romantic Capri and the "collective delirium" of Istanbul. Descriptions of historic and artistic sights in the Continent's capitals are cursory; Bryson prefers lesser-known locales, whose peculiar flavor he skillfully conveys in anecdotes that don't scant the seamy side and often portray eccentric characters encountered during untoward adventures of the road. He enlivens the narrative with keen, sometimes acerbic observations of national quirks like the timed light switches in French hallways, but tends to strive too hard for comic effects, some in dubious taste. He also joins other travelers in deploring the growing hordes of peddlers who overrun major tourist meccas.

Bryson, Bill The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America
Harper Perennial 1990 0-06-092008-4 / 9780060920081 Paperback Very Good
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Journalist Bryson decided to relive the dreary vacation car trips of his American childhood. Starting out at his mother's house in Des Moines, Iowa, he motors through 38 states over the course of two months, looking for the quintessential American small town. "Some of Bryson's comments are hilarious--if you enjoy the nonstop whining wisecracks of a 36-year-old kid,"
