Member: bluepiano
Explanations: bluepiano: Adjectival form of place-name might be a bit of a cheat, but wanted to draw attention to this novella because in addition to its being, like the others I've listed, a very good read the book is so well-produced: integral end-flaps & bookmark, and many full-page photographs.
