The Mexican genius of Miguel Covarrubias and Adriana Williams -the Authress who brought his work to public life, “meet” in William James Bookstore, in Down Town Port Townsend
Adriana came to Port Townsend in hopes of finding a locally published poetry book for her beloved -and very gravely sick friend José, in Mexico.
At entering the William James, this book on their front showcase immediately called her attention.
She knows Covarrubias better than the rest of us. This was not the poetry book she was looking for, but she was thrilled to find this other special book.
“An original Covarrubias cover!” She exclaimed delighted.
The book was by Langston Hughes, and “vintage”… but the price was still $300 + dollars! -At William James, which always has such wonderfully discounted prices!
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read the little price tag! But Adriana explained to me that due to the original Covarrubias cover of the book it could reach such -and higher prices…
With a little “gulp” she bought this 10th edition book and added it to her collections – only to come to learn that on the internet, an 11th -NOT 10th!- edition of such books sold for $600!!!!!
The most amazing part, to me, is that the extreme increase in price reflected on these books, comes from Adriana’s own work, popularizing Miguel Covarrubias’ splendid collections of art, archeology, anthropology, and museography, as well as architecture, performing arts and most elegant, amazing cartoons -such were his well developed talents and gifts to the world!
Only in Port Townsend genius meets genius soooo easily! : )
