still hearing from Golden Gryphon

Email rec'd:
Greetings from the Gryphon: 

The trade paperback editions of Jeffrey Ford’s Well-Built City trilogy: The
Physiognomy, Memoranda, and The Beyond, with triptych covers by John Picacio, are now
available!
Jeffrey Ford's World Fantasy Award-winner The Physiognomy introduces Cley,
master of Physiognomy, the pseudo-science of judging a person by his physical features, in
a nightmare city, a city the finally repentant Cley will seek to destroy. In
Memoranda, the reformed physiognomist embarks on a surreal quest through the mind of the
monster who imagined the dark metropolis, seeking a cure to a plague. In The Beyond, now
shunned by the village he saved, and seeing no future in the ruins of the Well-Built City,
Cley ventures into The Beyond, a wilderness peopled with demons that feed on
humans, where the strange and weird rule, where Paradise is hidden, and where the girl
that Cley disfigured may be, whose forgiveness Cley craves. He encounters wonders and
horrors, friendship and hate, mysteries almost beyond comprehension. But will he finally
find what he seeks?

With a triptych Picacio cover like, this, your local library should order two
copies, one to frame and display and one for reading.
