Imprint: Putnam Publishing Group, 2003 Published a mere 13 days after the death of Katharine Hepburn, Kate Remembe red is best appreciated as a valentine of devoted friendship. It's a moving study of mutual trust and admiration between Pulitzer Prize- winning biogra pher A. Scott Berg and legendary Hollywood icon Hepburn, who'd established an instant rapport in 1983, beginning a 20-year conversation that blossomed into this enchanting "biographical memoir." As a casual but authoritative survey of Hepburn's career, Berg's book offers little new information to an yone who's read previous Hepburn biographies or Me: Stories of My Life, Hep burn's bestselling 1991 memoir. But the duality of Berg's title reinforces his purpose: "More than my remembrances," writes Berg in his author's note, "this book intends to convey hers." As such, Kate Remembered offers a rare , unvarnished portrait of one of the 20th century's most influential women, achieving a personal intimacy while making the reader feel welcomed in Hep burn's private world of privilege., VG+/VG+ Stock number: RWARE0000006371.

Now the Major Motion Picture Genius, Starring Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman an d Jude Law. The National Book Award winner from Pulitzer-Prize winning author A. Scott Berg. The talents he nurtured were known worldwide: F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest H emingway, Thomas Wolfe, and numerous others. But Maxwell Perkins remained a mystery, a backstage presence who served these authors not only as editor but also as critic, career manager, moneylender, psychoanalyst, father-conf essor, and friend. This outstanding biography, a winner of the National Book Award, is the first to explore the fascinating life of this genius editor extraordinare--in both the professional and personal domains. It tells not only of Perkin's stormy marriage, endearing eccentricities, and secret twenty-five-year romance with Elizabeth Lemmon, but also of his intensely intimate relationships with the leading literary lights of the twentieth century. It is, in the words of Newsweek, "an admirable biography of a wholly admirable man.", Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000040009. ISBN: 9780425223376

Imprint: Jove, 1997 Berg uses letters and diary entries to tell the story of 50-year-old Nan, w ho is coming to terms with her place in society as an older woman. The lett ers, written to her husband, attempt to explain her unplanned cross- country flight. The diary entries allow Nan to probe deeper into her past and to e xplore the reasons for her loss of self-esteem. Conveniently, Nan is a woma n of privilege traveling in relative comfort, with no concern for the finan cing of her trip. Her letters to her husband include instructions to contac t their architect so that on her return they can plan a new house she descr ibes in fanciful detail. She has little or no anxiety about how her husband might react to her flight, and there seems to be nothing in her life beyon d her relationship with him and with her college-age daughter., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000011887.

Imprint: Penguin Publishing Group, 1988 A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. Whether viewed as extreme skepticism or enlightened common sense, the writings of Berkeley are a major influence on modern philosophy. Bishop Berkeley (1685-1753) was one of the great British empirical philosophers. He believed that the existence of material objects depends on their being perceived and The Principles of Human Knowledge sets out this denial of non-mental material reality. At first his views were unfavorably received by the London intelligentsia, and the entertaining Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous are a clarification of the Realist argument and a response to accusations of atheism and skepticism. In the nineteenth century John Stuart Mill wrote that he considered Berkeley's work to be of "greatest philosophic genius," and it is true to say that its Immaterialism has influenced many recent philosophers., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000035449.

Imprint: Cosimo Classics, 2005 A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. It is indeed an opinion strangely prevailing amongst men that houses, mountains, rivers, and, in a word, all sensible objects have an existence, natural or real, distinct from their being perceived by the understanding. -from "On the Principles of Human Knowledge" Forming a triangle of British empiricism with Locke and Hume, George Berkeley's direct influence on modern thought cannot be overstated. From the American Founding Fathers, who looked to him as the pioneer of their idealism, to the reality- questioning motives of quantum physics, Berkeley's odd, profound view of the nature of human perception, a sense he trusted implicitly, has in turn shaped our perception of the universe at large. Dismissed as an impractical dreamer, a disaffected anti-authoritarian, even a madman in his time, Berkeley here shifts the ground under the feet of humanity, questioning everything and finding fundamental freedom in human will and action. His conclusions remain as wise and inspiring as they were almost three hundred years ago, when he first shared them with the world in 1710. Irish scientist, philosopher, and writer GEORGE BERKELEY (1685-1753) also wrote An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision (1709)., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000039121. ISBN: 9781596052826

Imprint: Abacus Little, Brown, 1996 There are many cricket books, and they are all the same. 'Don't Tell Goochi e', autobiographical insights of nights on the tiles in Delhi with Lambie a nd the boys; 'Fruit cake days', a celebrated humourist recalls 'ball' - rel ated banter of yore; and Wisden, a deadly weapon when combined with a therm os flask. Rain Men is different. Like the moment the genius of Richie Benau d first revealed itself to you, it is a cricketing epiphany, a landmark in the literature of the game. Shining the light meter of reason into cricket' s incomparable madness, Marcus Berkmann illuminates all the obsessions and disappointments that the dedicated fan and pathologically hopeful clubman s uffers year after year - the ritual humiliation of England's middle order, the partially-sighted umpires, the battling average that reads more like a shoe size. As satisfying as a perfectly timed cover drive, and rather easie r to come by, Rain Men offers essential justification for anyone who has ev er run a team-mate out on purpose or secretly blubbed at a video of Botham' s Ashes., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000022660.

Drawing from personal experience, research and anecdotal reports, she cogently addresses the emotional and physical problems involved, all the while emphasizing the importance of caring for oneself. Following the overview delivered in introductory chapters, Berman examines such specific areas as financing, trying to care for needy parents long- distance, sharing the care among siblings and coping with loss. Keeping a clear eye on the emotional component, which is inevitably involved in decisions in which children become responsible for their parents, Berman delivers sensible advice and practical help.

Imprint: Avery, 2007 A clean softcover, no markings throughout, NOT an ex-library book: Every extra pound tells a story . . . At five four and 230 pounds, film cri tic Jami Bernard took the plunge into what she half-jokingly calls "the hea rt of darkness"- her innermost self, where, by confronting a past both funn y and painful, she was able to let go of those pounds, one by one, week aft er week. At the end of this intensely personal, bitterly humorous journey, she had lost seventy-five of them. Jami chronicled her weight loss in the New York Daily News, where she was a film critic for thirteen years. This book goes behind the scenes to tell t he unvarnished truth of what it's like to live large in a body-obsessed cul ture that takes no prisoners. Here is the reality of weight loss: a stock-m arket chart of crazy gains and losses, a crumb trail of doomed relationship s, the terrors of pleasure, and the best pizza this side of Naples. With a sharp wit and the confident, easy style that makes her a nationally known c ritic and champion of women's issues, Jami candidly explores the secret wor ld of fat people-their fears, bodies, clothing; their forbidden love affair with food; and what it's like to leave that all behind and emerge thin aga in on the other side. Moving, sometimes shocking, and always mordantly funny, The Incredible Shrinking Critic takes it all off-seventy-five pounds and counting., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000024550.

Imprint: William Morrow Paperbacks, 1991 What If? is the first handbook for writers based on the idea that specific exercises are one of the most useful and provocative methods for mastering the art of writing fiction. With more than twenty-five years of experience teaching creative writing between them, Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter off er more than seventy-five exercises for both beginners and more experienced writers. These exercises are designed to develop and refine two basic skil ls: writing like a writer and, just as important, thinking like a writer. T hey deal with such topics as discovering where to start and end a story; le arning when to use dialogue and when to use indirect discourse; transformin g real events into fiction; and finding language that both sings and commun icates precisely.

Imprint: University Of Chicago Press, 2001 A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Although Samuel Johnson once remarked that "patriotism is the last refuge o f scoundrels," over the course of the history of the United States we have seen our share of heroes: patriots who have willingly put their lives at ri sk for this country and, especially, its principles. And this is even more remarkable given that the United States is a country founded on the princip les of equality and democracy that encourage individuality and autonomy far more readily than public spiritedness and self-sacrifice. Walter Berns's Making Patriots is a pithy and provocative essay on precisel y this paradox. How is patriotism inculcated in a system that, some argue, is founded on self-interest? Expertly and intelligibly guiding the reader t hrough the history and philosophy of patriotism in a republic, from the anc ient Greeks through contemporary life, Berns considers the unique nature of patriotism in the United States and its precarious state. And he argues th at while both public education and the influence of religion once helped to foster a public-minded citizenry, the very idea of patriotism is currently under attack. Berns finds the best answers to his questions in the thought and words of Abraham Lincoln, who understood perhaps better than anyone what the principles of democracy meant and what price adhering to them may exact. The graves at Arlington and Gettysburg and Omaha Beach in Normandy bear witness to the fact that self-interested individuals can become patriots, and Making Patriot, Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000035625.

Imprint: New York Institute of Financ, 1999 A highly collectible first edition/printing, protected in a new brodart wra pper, no inscriptions or markings, this is not an ex-library or BOTM editio n; For Jake Bernstein, the millennium is bad news. The stock market will crash , panic will ensue, and today's paper millionaires will become tomorrow's p aupers. In Beat the Millennium Crash, Bernstein, a noted futures trader who se previous books include The Compleat Day Trader and How the Futures Marke ts Work, sees a confluence of trends and patterns that will culminate in a dramatic stock market panic that could be triggered by problems associated with the Y2K bug. At the heart of Bernstein's argument is the idea that interest rates determ ine the direction of the stock market and overall economic activity. He bel ieves rates are approaching a 54-year bottom, and that "there is no reason to believe that the patterns in interest rates have changed or that the mar ket has ceased to be cyclical." Rising rates will cripple the current bull market, and investments that are out of favor today, such as precious metal s, will be one way to profit in this gloomy environment. While Bernstein do esn't think that we'll all turn into pumpkins at midnight on New Year's Eve , he does see the end to the current stock market party happening by 2004. Bernstein particularly likes gold as a hedge to this bearish scenario as we ll as a healthy amount of cash. No one likes a party pooper or a contrarian , but his advice just might profit those who listen. --Harry C.

Imprint: Free Press, 1999 A crisp clean hardcover, no markings throughout, not an ex-lib: Leonard L. Berry examines some of America's great service companies and finds "nine drivers of excellence" that are behind them all. Discovering the Soul of Service looks at 14 diverse businesses, including the St. Paul Saints minor-league baseball team, Dial-A-Mattress, Midwest Express Airlines, and two of the world's fastest-growing service companies--Charles Schwab and Enterprise Rent-A-Car. "The lessons they teach are clear indeed," writes Berry, a marketing professor and director of the Center for Retailing Studies at Texas A & M University. "Although the companies differ on the outside--the nature, size and structure of their businesses--to a remarkable degree they are the same on the inside, sharing the drivers of their ongoing success." The "nine drivers" that Berry uncovers are the following: Leading with Values, Strategic Focus, Executional Excellence, Control of Destiny, Trust-Based Relationships, Investment in Employee Success, Acting Small, Brand Cultivation, and Generosity. Berry, whose previous books include On Great Service: A Framework for Action and Delivering Quality Service, writes that the basis of a successful service organization is value-driven leadership and "building a humane community that humanely serves customers and the broader community in which they live." Discovering the Soul of Service is inspiring--and potentially profitable--reading for anyone in business today., Fine/Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000020441. ISBN: 9780684845111

Imprint: Continuum International Publ, 1995 A highly collectible first edition/printing, tight clean copy protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not a n Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. During the first half of the twentieth century, as Tibet opened its doors to the West, the country was visited by a number of Japanese. Two were monks investigating Tibetan Buddhism; two others were more worldly clerics hoping to manipulate Tibetan politics. Of the laymen, two were spies, one was a soldier of fortune and a fourth was the author of a three-volume adventure story. The present book, based on research into Japanese sources, recounts this virtually unknown episode in the history of travel and exploration., AN/AN Stock number: RWARE0000007780. ISBN: 9780485114478

Imprint: Cambridge University Press, 2006 A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. In recent years the topic of acculturation has evolved from a relatively minor research area to one of the most researched subjects in the field of cross-cultural psychology. This edited handbook compiles and systemizes the current state of the art by exploring the broad international scope of acculturation. A collection of the world's leading experts in the field review the various contexts for acculturation, the central theories, the groups and individuals undergoing acculturation (immigrants, refugees, indigenous people, expatriates, students and tourists) and discuss how current knowledge can be applied to make both the process and its outcome more manageable and profitable. Building on the theoretical and methodological framework of cross-cultural psychology, the authors focus specifically on the issues that arise when people from one culture move to another culture and the reciprocal adjustments, tensions and benefits involved., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000036232.

Former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone wakes to find an intruder in his Copenhagen bookshop: an American Secret Service agent with assassins on his heels. Narrowly surviving a ferocious firefight, the two journey to the secluded estate of Malone's friend Henrik Thorvaldsen. The wily Danish tycoon has uncovered the insidious plans of the Paris Club, a cabal of multimillionaires bent on manipulating the global economy. But Thorvaldsen also harbors a hidden agenda--a vendetta--that will force Malone to choose between friend and country, past and present. Starting in Denmark, moving to England, and ending up in the storied streets and cathedrals of Paris, Malone is forced to match wits with a terrorist for hire and to plunge into a desperate hunt for Napoleon's legendary treasure, lost for two hundred years. It's a breathless game of duplicity and death, all to claim a prize of untold value. But at what cost?, Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000038648. ISBN: 9780345525574
