FROM THE HOUSE Some books enter the world not as commercial productions, but as personal records — one person’s attempt to preserve a life, a place, and the people who made that life meaningful. A Rainbow at Midnight has the quiet charm of a privately treasured volume, especially with an author inscription connecting it to an original recipient. It is the sort of book that appeals to collectors who value the human trace inside a library, not just the famous name on the spine. ~ Maxwell
