In Chris Ware's own words, 'Building Stories follows the inhabitants of a three-flat Chicago apartment house: a thirty-year-old woman who has yet to find someone with whom to spend the rest of her life; a couple who wonder if they can bear each other's company for another minute; and finally an elderly woman who never married and is the building's landlady...' The scope, the ambition, the artistry and emotional heft of this project are beyond anything even Chris Ware has achieved before.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. Boxed. Folio. Pantheon, New York. 2012. 260 pgs. 14 distinctively discrete Books, Booklets, Magazines, Newspapers, and Pamphlets. First Edition/First Printing. Slipcased. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. With the increasing electronic incorporeality of existence, sometimes it's reassuring—perhaps even necessary—to have something to hold on to. Thus within this colorful keepsake box the purchaser will find a fully-apportioned variety of reading material ready to address virtually any imaginable artistic or poetic taste, from the corrosive sarcasm of youth to the sickening earnestness of maturity—while discovering a protagonist wondering if she'll ever move from the rented close quarters of lonely young adulthood to the mortgaged expanse of love and marriage. Whether you're feeling alone by yourself or alone with someone else, this book is sure to sympathize with the crushing sense of life wasted, opportunities missed and creative dreams dashed which afflict the middle-and upper-class literary public (and which can return to them in somewhat damaged form during REM sleep). EB; 1.97 x 16.69 x 11.65 Inches.

This is a reading game of sorts: a person can create storylines by setting up various boards that illustrate certain events. I think it would make an ideal gift for a reader with a mind of his or her own. CLEVER!
