Reviews
Praise for Cecilia Ruiz's The Book of Memory Gaps : "Cecilia Ruiz offers a darkly humorous but warmhearted account of various memory errors and disorders....The illustrations--lovely and quirky--manage to both depict a snapshot in time while also conveying memory's ephemeral, transient nature." --Bruce Poulsen Ph.D., PsychologyToday.com "Read[s] like Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies if it were written by Dr. Oliver Sacks....a quaint, beautifully designed little book with wonderful art." --MentalFloss.com, Praise for The Book of Extraordinary Deaths : "Ruiz's sinister selections and quirky technique add up to a delightfully morbid foray into history." -- Publishers Weekly "This slender, magnificent book is about the central tragedy of human existence, the dreadful final reckoning to which all flesh is heir. It's an absolute hoot." --Gene Weingarten, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and columnist Praise for Cecilia Ruiz's The Book of Memory Gaps : "Cecilia Ruiz offers a darkly humorous but warmhearted account of various memory errors and disorders....The illustrations--lovely and quirky--manage to both depict a snapshot in time while also conveying memory's ephemeral, transient nature." --Bruce Poulsen Ph.D., PsychologyToday.com "Read[s] like Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies if it were written by Dr. Oliver Sacks....a quaint, beautifully designed little book with wonderful art." --MentalFloss.com

Synopsis
A welcome dose of dark humor for these dark times, from acclaimed illustrator Cecilia Ruiz The Book of Extraordinary Deaths introduces readers to the bizarre demises of thinkers, writers, monarchs, artists, and notable nobodies throughout history. Beginning in the seventh century BC with the unusual death of Draco and journeying chronologically to the present day, Ruiz's playfully sinister giftbook illustrates and describes the infamous deaths of these unfortunate souls. From stories of the hot-air balloon duel that claimed a Frenchman's life to the fatal wardrobe malfunction of famed dancer Isadora Duncan, The Book of Extraordinary Deaths is a uniquely clever and gorgeously rendered meditation on life's ironies and mysteries. With Ruiz's witty descriptions and rich, captivating illustrations, her characters come to life on the page even as they shuffle off this mortal coil., The Book of Extraordinary Deaths introduces readers to the bizarre demises of thinkers, writers, monarchs, artists, and notable nobodies throughout history. Beginning in the fifth century BC with the morbidly unusual death of Aeschylus and journeying chronologically to identical twins - who died on the same day - in the present day, readers will learn of people they may or may not have ever heard of, but will forever remember for their memorable final moments. With Ruiz's witty descriptions and beautiful illustrations, her characters come to life on the page even as they reach their demises., A uniquely clever and lightheartedly sinister giftbook, illustrating the infamous deaths of an eclectic selection of historical figures.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
