Today we wanted to show off a couple fun finds from our rare department!

The first is a vintage Canyonlands Natural History Association guide to Natural Bridges for $12. The other is the second volume in Robert Vreeland’s planned series of 23 booklets (a few were never published) cataloging significant natural rock openings in the United States. This volume describes 54 rock formations located in Arches National Park. It is $25. Both are in very good condition.

🥊 Staff pick of the week is brought to you by Nat!

Headshot is the debut novel of Rita Bullwinkel and it has generated quite a bit of buzz, as it appeared on numerous best books of 2024 lists and was longlisted for the Booker Prize. The book follows eight teenage girls as they compete in a two-day boxing tournament held in Reno, Nevada. Each chapter covers one of the fights in the tournament, focusing on the inner lives of the girls as they engage in intense physical competition.

The novel’s power hinges on the decision to use an omniscient narrator to delve into each girl’s thoughts and feelings, as well as their histories and futures. Despite its short length, the book is able to give each girl a distinct and detailed personality. Those engaging characters and Bullwinkel’s introspective yet propulsive prose make for a book that is hard to put down. I think it is a highly memorable and unusual sports novel that establishes Bullwinkel as an author to watch.
