Imprint: Hyperion, 1998 Billy Bob Holland, the protagonist of Cimarron Rose, is an attorney in the dusty Texas town of Deaf Smith. An ex-Texas Ranger (cop, not ball-player) w ho mistakenly killed his partner during a drug bust, Holland is jolted from his brooding when his estranged illegitimate son is accused of the rape an d murder of a party girl. He takes the case, of course, and things get comp licated mighty quick. On a hunch only a father could believe, Holland is su re his son is being railroaded. Doggedly pursuing the truth, he runs afoul of sadistic cops, a powerful family, and the euphoniously- named Garland T. Moon, a feral thug with something to hide. Luckily, the folks on his team a re just as tough. Burke's book isn't gritty realism-- Holland's dead partner visits him often--but the characters ring true in a weird way. They are qu irky and appealing, and even the criminals make good company while the whod unit unfolds., Very Good+ Stock number: RWARE0000016884. ISBN: 9780786889303

Imprint: Avon, 1994 New Iberia Lt. Dave Robicheaux (A Stained White Radiance, 1992, etc.) is tr ying to link the murder of a local hooker to New Orleans mobster Julie (Bab y Feet) Balboni--back in his home parish as co- producer of Hollywood direc tor Michael Goldman's Civil War film--when sozzled/psychic movie- star Elrod Sykes, pulled over for drunk driving, starts babbling about a corpse he fo und in the Atchafalaya Swamp--the corpse of a black man Dave had seen murde red 35 years before. Convinced that Baby Feet is the key to both the old mu rder and the horrific new serial killings of prostitutes, Dave goes outside the law to nail him over the protests of locals getting fat off Hollywood- and- mob money--provoking stunning new outbursts of violence, getting suspe nded after a shootout leaves still another prostitute dead, and finding him self holding hushed conversations with the specter of a Confederate general whom Sykes had already met deep in the bayou. Dave's visions of the Confed erate dead bring a Faulknerian resonance to the miasmal guilt and self-doub t that enrich all his encounters with evil. After outstanding success in th e genre, Burke has produced a violent, somber, deeply satisfying crossover novel., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000016893. ISBN: 9780380721214

Imprint: Southern Illinois University, 1980 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. First published in 1899,The School and Society describes John Dewey's exper iences with his own famous Laboratory School, started in 1896. Dewey's experiments at the Laboratory School reflected his original social and educational philosophy based on American experience and concepts of de mocracy, not on European education models then in vogue. This forerunner of the major works shows Dewey's pervasive concern with the need for a rich, dynamic, and viable society. In his introduction to this volume, Joe R. Burnett states Dewey's theme. Industrialization, urbanization, science, and technology have created a revolution the schools cannot ignore. Dewey carries this theme through eight chapters: The School and Social Progress; The School and the Life of the Child; Waste in Education; Three Years of the University Elementary School; The Psychology of Elementary Education; Froebel's Educational Principles; The Psychology of Occupations; and the Development of Attention., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000036102.

Burnier reconstrói, a partir de depoimentos do próprio Alencar e de vasta pesquisa, o vitorioso caminho percorrido pelo garoto pobre que se tornou empresàrio bem-sucedido e vice- presidente da República.

Imprint: Dial Press Trade Paperback, 1986 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: If the preacher's wife's petticoat showed, the ladies would make the talk last a week. But on July 5, 1906, things took a scandalous turn. That was the day E. Rucker Blakeslee, proprietor of the general store and barely three weeks a widower, eloped with Miss Love Simpson -- a woman half his age and, worse yet, a Yankee! On that day, fourteen-year-old Will Tweedy's adventures began and an unimpeachably pious, deliciously irreverent town came to life. Not since To Kill A Mockingbird has a novel so deftly captured the subtle crosscurrents of small-town Southern life.

Imprint: Berkley Trade, 2004 The things that happen to Bridget Fox in this debut novel could make Job we ep, but Bridget is funny on every page, and equally poignant. The overwhelm ing fact of Bridget's life is that her five-year-old daughter, Maeve, is au tistic. Bridget describes what it's like to love a child when "she can't le t you know she loves you back." Maeve wears a weighted vest to calm her and alternately giggles and moans to herself. She throws herself against a win dow and cracks it. This child would be too much for anyone, but Bridget has also suffered grievous losses: she divorced her philandering first husband and weathered the death of her beloved cousin. She and her current husband , Pierce, recently left their longtime home in Manhattan for Minneapolis, w here Pierce, an internationally known sculptor, has a teaching job. Bridget has virtually no support system. Her father dies of cancer, her mother is chilly (she tells the desperate Bridget that she needs to find a good rinse for her graying hair). Pierce is soon diagnosed as manic-depressive. It's no wonder that Bridget tilts toward mental breakdown, but it is a wonder th at she can be so engaging while coming unhinged-and that Burns manages to s tave off melodrama with her dry wit and down-to-earth narration. Burns is a poet whose prose is lyrical, energetic and original. "We have crossed over into some world that I used to imagine was inhabited only by saints and ma rtyrs, by mothers who grow patience like lizards grow tails." This hip and witty novel doesn't mince words about sex, mental illness or the exhaustion of child-rearing., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000011544. ISBN: 9780425195925

Imprint: HarperCollins, 1991 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: The leveraged buyout of the RJR Nabisco Corporation for $25 billion is a landmark in American business history, a story of avarice on an epic scale. Two versions of the fierce competition for the largest buyout ever consummated are presented by skilled journalists with contrasting styles. Burrough and Helyar are clearly fascinated with the personalities of the players in the deal and with the trappings of corporate wealth. The restless, flamboyant personality of Ross Johnson, CEO of RJR Nabisco, is portrayed as the key to the events that were to unfold. The colorful description of all of the players and the events will likely have broad appeal. Lampert signals the complexity of her story by introducing her narrative with a three-page cast of characters. Her focus on the strategy of the players and on the fast-paced action provides a more concise description of a deal big enough to augment the wealth of many rich people., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000021102.

Imprint: St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2006 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: There is a passage early in Augusten Burroughs's harrowing and highly entertaining memoir, Running with Scissors, that speaks volumes about the author. While going to the garbage dump with his father, young Augusten spots a chipped, glass-top coffee table that he longs to bring home. "I knew I could hide the chip by fanning a display of magazines on the surface, like in a doctor's office," he writes, "And it certainly wouldn't be dirty after I polished it with Windex for three hours." There were certainly numerous chips in the childhood Burroughs describes: an alcoholic father, an unstable mother who gives him up for adoption to her therapist, and an adolescence spent as part of the therapist's eccentric extended family, gobbling prescription meds and fooling around with both an old electroshock machine and a pedophile who lives in a shed out back. But just as he dreamed of doing with that old table, Burroughs employs a vigorous program of decoration and fervent polishing to a life that many would have simply thrown in a landfill. Despite her abandonment, he never gives up on his increasingly unbalanced mother. And rather than despair about his lot, he glamorizes it: planning a "beauty empire" and performing an a capella version of "You Light Up My Life" at a local mental ward. Burroughs's perspective achieves a crucial balance for a memoir: emotional but not self-involved, observant but not clinical, funny but not deliberately comic. And it's ultimately a feel-good story: as he steers through a challenging childhood, there's always a sense that Burroughs's survivor mentalit, Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000021716.

Imprint: Longman Pub Group, 1986 A read copy, but no markings throughout, spine unblemished, not an ex-lib e dition: This highly successful text has established itself as a standard introduction to the practical analysis of English sentence structure. In this second edition, Noel Burton-Roberts has fully revised his original text to improve the clarity of exposition and the level of exemplification and to make the analysis more consistent with current assumptions. As before, important concepts such as constituency, category and function are carefully explained as they are introduced. Tree diagrams are clearly explained and used throughout to help the reader visualise the hierarchical structure of sentences. The final chapter sets the analysis within the context of generative grammar and language study in general., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000026778. ISBN: 9780582291362

Imprint: Jove, 1994 Talk about an eye for an eye! Burton has created a lively mystery that will delight those who believe a criminal should suffer a fitting penalty. Psyc hiatrist Alan Forester is into light S&M, but his mental disengagement enab les him to keep from acknowledging his penchant's implications until almost the last minute. San Francisco provides a fertile field for Forester's dea lings. First is Kate Carbone, who winds up on the beach at the bottom of a cliff, an obvious suicide, except that her husband is not convinced. Then K elly Caldwell gets a firmer answer to her personal ad than she had expected . Next, Mistress Diana becomes all tied up with lavender scarves. Bonnie Ri ngold is the last one, but by then detective Bobby Lockhart and reporter Mi chelle Draper are on the trail with strong suspicions if little hard eviden ce, and Forester tries to put the blame on his disagreeable physician-patie nt, Jim Allen, and seems successful at first. Burton believably develops th e changing attitudes and realizations of his characters, especially Kate's husband and Forester. William Beatty, Good Stock number: RWARE0000021792. ISBN: 9780515115031

Imprint: Random House, 2001 A highly collectible first edition/printing, a tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions or markings, not price clipped an ex-library or a book of the month club edition. Myths abound about China: all Chinese everywhere are united in a community of enduring culture; Western-style democracy is unsuited to China, as it would bring only chaos and the disruption of unity. In this brilliant report of his encounters with Chinese dissidents, rebels and democrats those blessed or cursed with "sheer cussedness" veteran journalist Buruma (The Wages of Guilt, etc.) brings into question such generalizations. There are, it seems, many Chinas and many Chinese willing to risk all in the name of individual freedom and the rule of law. In the U.S., Buruma visits exiled veterans of the 1989 Tiananmen protests who have adjusted well to their new lives and older exiles lost in the impatient busyness of America. He travels to Singapore an antiseptic and intolerant blend of the market and one-party rule where dissidents risk not only prison but extreme marginalization within a conformist society. He then moves on to Taiwan, with its lively if banal democracy (of banners and campaign buttons and staged rallies) and the men and women who, under the island's Nationalist Party rule, faced lifetimes of torture, prison and exile to bring democracy to life, and then to Hong Kong, where democrats try to keep the rule of law alive under China's new rulership. Finally, he travels to the center, the motherland, China. Buruma detects the stench of political decay as the Communist Party drifts into dangerous irrelevance, but ami, F/NF Stock number: RWARE0000007957. ISBN: 9780679457688

Imprint: Serpent's Tail, 1997 (Inscribed by Author) Political thrillers have always been a conservative lot: the status quo comes under attack and is saved by an iconoclastic hero who brings order back to the body politic. In Agnes Bushell's The Enumerator, things are a little different. Set in San Francisco during the height of the AIDS crisis, it spins a brooding tale of political corruption, the closet, sex, and murder. Here the "enumerator" is a health official who collects information about people's sexual habits in an effort to track AIDS infections. But too much information is a dangerous thing, and when some "people in power" discover that the sexual habits the enumerator collected included information on them, murder, not AIDS, becomes the issue. The Enumerator has wit and a taut style that makes it a squirm-in-your-seat read., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000002039. ISBN: 9781852425548

Imprint: Hachette Books, 2005 With a brilliant comic voice as well as Jane Austen's penchant for social s atire, Candace Bushnell, who with Sex and the City changed forever how we v iew New York City, female friendships, and the love of a good pair of Manol os, now brings us a sharply observant, keenly funny, wildly entertaining la tter day comedy of manners. Modern-day heroine Janey Wilcox is a lingerie model whose reach often exceeds her grasp, and whose new-found success has gone to her head. As we follow Janey's adventures, Bushnell draws us into a seemingly glamorous world of $100,000 cars, hunky polo players and media moguls, Fifth Avenue apartments, and relationships whose hidden agendas are detectable only by the socially astute. But just as Janey enters this world of too much money and too few morals, unseen forces conspire to bring her down, forcing her to reexamine her values about love and friendship--and how far she's really willing to go to realize her dreams., Good Stock number: RWARE0000029502.
