FROM THE HOUSE An inscription to “Mom” gives this copy a particularly tender kind of provenance — not grand or institutional, but personal in the way family books often are. A Rainbow at Midnight appears to preserve one person’s life story with the quiet intention of being remembered. For collectors of signed autobiographical works, regional history, or books with a human thread still attached, this copy has a warmer presence than an ordinary unsigned volume. ~ Maxwell
