It's not quite Game of Thrones. But the success of Nick Bantock's 'cult' series of art books, Griffin & Sabine, featuring illustrated postcards and removable letters, has no equal in B.C. literature. Bantock's first three titles in 1991, 1992 and 1993 spent 100 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list. Now Bantock reveals the fate of the two estranged lovers, who are both artists, with The Pharos Gate: Griffin and Sabine's Lost Correspondence (Chronicle / Raincoast $34.95). Griffin Moss in London vows to finally meet Sabine Strohem who lives in the South Pacific. It's touted as the final volume in the series, in tandem with a 25th anniversary edition of the first volume.
