Imprint: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1987 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. Do you ever get the feeling that somebody has gone through our world and sw itched the price tags on everything? Things that ought to be treated as pre cious-like family, friends and faith-are inconsequential, and things like a new BMW, membership in the country club and the climb up the corporate lad der are all too often considered of great importance. Author Tony Campolo believes we are forcing ourselves to do things we think are important in order to "keep up" with the rest of the world. "God wants us to have fun-yet we don't know how", Campolo says. Who Switched The Price Tags? challenges us to take a serious look at the important areas of our lives and put the right price tags back on the right items in order to experience the true fulfillment God has planned for us., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000038335.

Imprint: William Morrow & Co, 1997 A highly collectible first edition, protected in a new brodart wrapper; New Jersey mobsters Tommy and Joe Rina kill the star witness in the state's case against them, and "King Con" Beano X. Bates plots revenge in the form of an elaborate "sting." Aiding him is former New Jersey prosecutor Victoria Hart, prim, upstanding, and dedicated, who's drawn into the sting unwillingly, then takes glee in committing felonies and telling lies right and left. Screen- and TV writer Cannell's second novel is pure delight; its well-developed plot line has nice detours here and there so the reader cannot quite foresee the conclusion. The entire Bates family, criminals all, are wonderful characters, and although some of the action is far-fetched and the sting dialog gets boring in its technicality, the wry humor will keep readers enthralled., VG+/NF Stock number: RWARE0000008864.

Imprint: Perseverance Press, 2000 Cannon, author of five novels (including three mysteries in the Nan Robinso n series: Class Reunions Are Murder, etc.), kicks off a new series with a c lever cozy that will appeal to every crime fan who's an armchair traveler. Following the death of her partner at an Austin, Tex., crime scene, former policewoman Roxanne Prescott attempts to start a new career as a guide for her aunt's upscale tour business, the Irish Eyes Travel Agency. Leading a g roup of well-to-do folk on a tour of Virginia's historic sites--the Guns an d Roses tour, as Roxanne likes to think of it-- proves to be no picnic. As t he group moves from Mount Vernon south to Fredericksburg, Monticello and Co lonial Williamsburg, what at first seem accidents escalate into practical j okes, malicious pranks, possible kidnapping and death. Unprepared for such trouble, Roxanne has her hands full, trying to pacify angry sightseers, pre vent further accidents and discover who is seeking to jeopardize the tour a nd her aunt's business. Cannon deftly reveals character in a series of open ing vignettes; every group member, not least Roxanne herself, is a distinct , credible individual. The author also shows a sure touch in evoking settin gs, in particular the restored Colonial Williamsburg. After a satisfying re solution, enough questions remain open to justify a sequel. Cannon's reader s should look forward to that., As New Stock number: RWARE0000009027. ISBN: 9781880284346

This book is about effective asset allocation. It's not enough to rely on some investment manager's "one-size-fits-all" software to allocate your precious capital: you need to understand the process, and take control. In Understanding Asset Allocation, world-class economist, investment expert, and hedge fund manager Victor Canto shows exactly how to understand the process of assett allocation. Canto introduces a flexible, intuitive, easy- to-use approach to asset allocation that leverages powerful business cycle information and investment vehicles most investors ignore. Canto reveals what you can (and can't) learn from historical data; how to find and focus on sectors that offer exceptional opportunity; and how to manage risk far more effectively. Whether you manage your own investments or rely on an advisor, Understanding Asset Allocation will help you optimize all your asset allocation decisions -- and maximize the returns they deliver., Very Good/Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000030578.

Imprint: Aperture, 2005 In 1936, the rebellion of monarchists and fascists led by General Franco, i n alliance with Hitler and Mussolini, mobilized anti-fascists all over the world, among them Robert Capa. During the entire period of the war, Capa tr aveled throughout the Loyalist-held areas of Spain photographing battles, c ities under siege and the chaos of a modern nation at war with itself. One series of images documents the heroic Loyalist defense of Madrid; another t he mass exodus of Catalonians from Barcelona to the French border. His icon ic photograph of a Loyalist militiaman who has just been shot shocked the w orld with its brutal immediacy. Capa's pictures not only illuminated the co urage of the soldiers who carried on against overwhelming odds but also gal vanized compassion for the innocent and injured.

This is the story of four young boys. Four lifelong friends. Intelligent, f un-loving, wise beyond their years, they are inseparable. Their potential i s unlimited, but they are content to live within the closed world of New Yo rk City's Hell's Kitchen. And to play as many pranks as they can on the den izens of the street. They never get caught. And they know they never will. Until one disastrous summer afternoon. On that day, what begins as a harmless scheme goes horrible wrong. And the four find themselves facing a year's imprisonment in the Wilkinson Home for Boys. The oldest of them is fifteen, the youngest twelve. What happens to them over the course of that year--brutal beatings, unimaginable humiliatio n--will change their lives forever. Years later, one has become a lawyer. One a reporter. And two have grown up to be murderers, professional hit men. For all of them, the pain and fear of Wilkinson still rages within. Only one thing can erase it.

Imprint: Tom Doherty Associates, 2000 Ender's Shadow (Ender's Shadow Series #1) by Orson Scott Card The novel that launched the bestselling Ender's Shadow series. The human race is at War with the "Buggers," an insect-like alien race. As Earth prepares to defend itself from total destruction at the hands of an inscrutable enemy, all focus is on the development of military geniuses who can fight such a war, and win. The long distances of interstellar space have given hope to the defenders of Earth-they have time to train these future commanders up from childhood, forging them into an irresistible force in the high orbital facility called the Battle School. Andrew "Ender" Wiggin was not the only child in the Battle School; he was just the best of the best. In Ender's Shadow, Card tells the story of another of those precocious generals, the one they called Bean-the one who became Ender's right hand, part of his team, in the final battle against the Buggers. Bean's past was a battle just to survive. His success brought him to the attention of the Battle School's recruiters, those people scouring the planet for leaders, tacticians, and generals to save Earth from the threat of alien invasion. Bean was sent into orbit, to the Battle School. And there he met Ender...., Good Stock number: RWARE0000039934. ISBN: 9780812575712

Imprint: Tor Books, 2003 Ex-lib edition. Using the lore and the folk-magic of the men and women who settled North Am erica, Orson Scott Card has created an alternate world where magic works, a nd where that magic has colored the entire history of the colonies. Charms and beseechings, hexes and potions, all have a place in the lives of the pe ople of this world. Dowsers find water, the second sight warns of dangers t o come, and a torch can read a person's future--- or their heart. In this world where "knacks" abound, Alvin, the seventh son of a seventh so n, is a very special man indeed. He's a Maker; he has the knack of understa nding how things are put together, how to create them, repair them, keep th em whole, or tear them down. He can heal hearts as well as bones, he build a house, he can calm the waters or blow up a storm. And he can teach his kn ack to others, to the measure of their own talent. Alvin has been trying to avert the terrible war that his wife, Peggy, a tor ch of extraordinary power, has seen down the life-lines of every American.

Imprint: Tor Books, 2011 A crisp clean first edition,(as stated) no markings throughout, not an ex- l ib edition: Card's newest series opener can't decide whether it's a thought experiment featuring a nifty magic system, a YA urban fantasy, or a series of fantasy interludes, so it settles for performing all three tasks satisfactorily, if not spectacularly. Danny North, descendant of exiled mages from another world, is taken aback when he comes into his true powers as a gatemage. He could reconnect his people with their long- lost home world, but gatemages are usually killed to maintain a fragile peace among the exiled clans. Fleeing his home, Danny finds refuge and slowly explores his potential, planning to open the first Great Gate in 14 centuries. Meanwhile, on the far-off world of Westil, a young gatemage named Wad finds love, conspiracies, and betrayal in a remote castle while struggling to recall his hazy past. Though occasionally uneven and meandering, this ambitious tale is well crafted, highly detailed, and pleasantly accessible., Fine/Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000021434. ISBN: 9780765326577

Imprint: Tor Science Fiction, 1993 First of a five-book series from the author of Xenocide, the Alvin Maker ta les, etc. Planet Harmony, settled 40 million years ago following the destru ction of Earth, is overseen by the Oversoul, an intelligent computer able t o communicate telepathically with certain of the inhabitants. Set up to pre vent war and ensure the colony's survival, the Oversoul is now breaking dow n, and for repairs must journey to Earth (where, the Oversoul theorizes, a new civilization surely will have arisen by now). Needing help from Harmony , the Oversoul first contacts young student Nafai of the matriarchal city B asilica, hoping to persuade him and others of his family to secure the Inde x--an ancient machine that will enable the Oversoul to talk directly with e veryone. A major complication is that as the Oversoul decays, the mental bl ocks it implanted in Harmony's people eons ago to prevent war are also brea king down; and soon the women of Basilica find themselves trapped in a powe r struggle between two hostile male armies. Where Card focuses on children- - as he often does here--he writes fluently and persuasively., Near Fine Stock number: RWARE0000001400. ISBN: 9780812532593

Imprint: J'ai Lu From the Publisher Lusitania? enfin un havre de paix pour les doryphores? Pour Ender? Il le croyait. Hélas! rien ne se passe com me prévu. Les Lusitaniens ont déjà du mal à accepter les piggies, ces drôles de petits cochons intelligents mais si différents d'eux. Et ils ne savent pas le pire : le virus de la descolada, mortel pour les humains, est indispensable au cycle génétique des piggies. Ils ne peuvent donc pas le détruire, sous peine d'exterminer la race. Dilemme crucial pour les biologiestes, car la descolada mute au fur et à mesure qu' ils découvrent de nouveaux traitements. Mais un danger plus imminent menace la planète : le Congrès Stellaire lui a envoyé une flotte équipée du « Petit Docteur », un désintégrateur capable de la réduire en poussière. Un nouveau xénocide? P as sûr, car Ender a encore quelques cartes dans sa manche?, Very Good+ Stock number: RWARE0000006455. ISBN: 9782277240242

Imprint: Faber and Faber, 1995 Returning once more to his constant concern with colonialism, The Unusual L ife of Tristan Smith (1994) is an allegorical account of the relationship b etween two fictional countries. Voorstand, a huge northern hemisphere land mass with a strong, if slowly decaying, popular culture, slyly but effectiv ely dominates, both militarily and culturally, the smaller and scattered so uthern dominions of Efica, "a country so unimportant that you are already c onfusing the name with Ithaca or Africa" (p. 5). Carey gives us these two c ountries completely, and the text is replete with their histories, mytholog ies, languages and legends. Incorporating many elements of the grotesque, i ncluding the marvellous invention of the Voorstandish "Sirkus", this work i s an amazing allegory of colonialism, a picaresque account of the life of T ristan Smith, severely damaged at birth but determined to make his mark on the cultural map of his country., Very Good+ Stock number: RWARE0000012575.
