Behold the Hector Saxe paparazzi magnet. With styling so bold, parma coloring so brilliant, and legendary Hector Saxe backgammon craftsmanship, it's like a short-cut to superstardom. Now you don't have to sell a zillion albums. Just head out your front door with this exquisitely appointed beauty of a board under your arm. The glint of brass fittings and the Hector Saxe nameplate may draw attention, but the slender stylings and faux-python leather will declare your mastery of media. We recommend you wear dark sunglasses to protect from flashbulbs when you're mistaken for a starlet, action hero, or platinum-selling musical genius. And wear comfortable shoes you can dash in, should you need to evade screaming mobs after an autograph. If you're cornered however, the jig is up. The real star is Hector Saxe - and it's fine that you should acknowledge that (you're the one with the means and good sense to have purchased one - no shame there, my friend). Hold it up high above your head, so the spittle-flecked adorers can oooh and awww. Then hush them as you open the perfectly sculpted case on whisper quiet brass hinges to reveal the gorgeous, shimmering pink and black checkers, white leather-wrapped dice cups and lustrous leather playing surface. As you're making your exit, be sure to thank the crowd for their adulation and then kindly direct them to our website, if you please.

Equal parts danger and excitement, this exquisite backgammon board by the incomparable Hector Saxe is a master class in stark elegance. Each time you open the velvet leather case on it's whisper-quiet solid brass clasps, it unveils hand-painted spears of white and black on inlaid leather - a reminder of good vs. evil, light vs. dark - and most tellingly, the sharp contrast between having your own Hector Saxe and just wishing you did.

It used to be that customs agents, upon seeing a faux-Python series Hector Saxe luxury backgammon board, would delay you with bogus endangered species charges, and then steal a game on your board in the back room while you filled out paperwork. And who can blame them? The textured leather case and smooth inlaid leather playing field demonstrate the highest quality craftsmanship. Tan and ivory mother of pearl checkers feel splendid between thumb and finger as you plunk them down on defenseless blots. Even the brass fittings are a joy to snap open and shut. And while we do sympathize with Hector Saxe-smitten customs agents, we can't have them hassling our customers. And because our customers are known for their elegance but also their influence, it was an easy fix to ensure you are no longer waylaid by the covetous type. You may also rest assured that no pythons were harmed in the making of this outrageously handsome backgammon board. There have however been reports of severe maulings as Hector Saxe owners lure players like prey, constrict their options and dispatch them with disturbing regularity.

It sports a style so bold, someone should slap this Hector Saxe deluxe backgammon board in the face. But don't you dare throw a drink on it. Deep crimson python imprinted leather with dark accents envelopes a finely crafted wooden case. Unlock the brass clasp and revel in the smell of inlaid leather with hand painted points skewering red and white checkers. You may well be wondering what this blood red luxury case would match well with? What setting or outfit will complement it best? And if you are wondering that, this board is not for you. THIS board is designed to stand out. It screams for attention. It mesmerizes and ensnares. It beckons and bedevils. You don't match it to your drapes. Over time you may well build up some kind of visual immunity, dropping the level of dazzle to the merely fantastic. But your opponents are never on it quite enough to cultivate the same powers of resistance. You'll be racking up double hits while they're contentedly massaging the leather dice cups. You'll be bearing off at speed like a crimson tide, while they lazily ignore the odds. And after you beat them, they'll come back for more. Such is the insidious power of a Hector Saxe Python original. Backgammon Set Dimensions: Open Length: 19 7/8in., Open Width: 14 1/4in.

2007 was a very busy year for Henry Rollins. He traveled to Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Pakistan, where he was staying when Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated. While traveling, Rollins performed numerous spoken word shows and worked on films, his IFC television show, and "Harmony in My Head, " his popular weekly radio show. In short, a quintessentially Rollins-ian year: sleepless, nonstop, and highly productive. "A Preferred Blur" contains stories written in the form of journal entries from Rollins' travels throughout the year. As in his other travel-related books and journals, Rollins -- "Detail" magazine's 1994 Man of the Year -- writes not only about his own life and work, but of music, current affairs, and the world around him with humor, insight, and brutal honesty.
