Random House Large Print 2010 0739328646 Large Print Edition Softcover New with no dust jacket
New LARGE PRINT paperback with no remainder mark. A wise, gently humorous, and deeply compassionate novel about a schoolteacher, who has been forced to retire at sixty-one, coming to terms with the final phase of his life. Professional service from a Main Street bookstore. ; Random House Large Print; 1.1 x 8.9 x 6.14 Inches; 352 pages; From the incomparable Anne Tyler, a wise, gently humorous, and deeply compassionate novel about a schoolteacher, who has been forced to retire at sixty-one, coming to terms with the final phase of his life.
Liam Pennywell, who set out to be a philosopher and ended up teaching fifth grade, never much liked the job at that run-down private school, so early retirement doesn’t bother him. But he is troubled by his inability to remember anything about the first night that he moved into his new, spare, and efficient condominium on the outskirts of Baltimore. All he knows when he wakes up the next day in the hospital is that his head is sore and bandaged.
His effort to recover the moments of his life that have been stolen from him leads him on an unexpected detour. What he needs is someone who can do the remembering for him. What he gets is—well, something quite different.
We all know a Liam. In fact, there may be a little of Liam in each of us. Which is why Anne Tyler’s lovely novel resonates so deeply.

Annick Smith In This We are Native: Memoirs and Journeys
The Lyons Press 2001 1585742465 Hardcover New in Near Fine dust jacket; .
New. No remainder marks. Top jacket edges lightly bumped. ; 1.11 x 8.51 x 5.83 Inches; 312 pages; Here is a stunning new memoir from one of the West's strongest women writers. In This We Are Native couples a passionate argument for saving wilderness with a breathtaking memoir of love and loss and rebirth. Smith unflinchingly tells of her young husband's final year (his death left her with four sons to raise alone); of her father's final months and days, decades later, and the familiar chasm of death's approach; and of mourning the beloved landscape she has chosen as home, Montana's Blackfoot River Valley, with its unsurpassable beauty and unbearable fragility, when it is brutally clear-cut by big lumber. But it is Smith's gift that In This We Are Native is a glorious celebration of life, transcending grief in language exacting and unsentimental. "Here is a woman to admire and love . . ." Annie Dillard wrote of Homestead. In a voice clear and true, Smith regales the joys of huckleberry gathering; the stealth of the mountain lion; the rejuvenation in an icy mountain river; and the immense satisfaction of intimacy with wildlands. She rejoices in the preciousness of lovers and family; the deep satisfaction of growing old in a place you love; and the pleasures of adventure abroad.

Professional service from a Main Street bookstore. ; 0.63 x 8.26 x 5.76 Inches; 144 pages; When Marion Dutilleul enters the service of the Marquise de Montespan, she never imagines that her ability to recognize scents and to blend them into perfumes will win her the favor of Louis XIV’s mistress. But the marquise quickly has the young girl creating new perfumes for her. Eager to please and hopeful that her olfactory gifts will win her recognition, Marion concocts memorable fragrances. Then, to her horror, credit is bestowed on someone else. Marion feels betrayed.
Now Marion opens her eyes and ears (in addition to her nose!) and realizes that beneath the splendor of palace life is a place teeming with deceit. To survive, she must use her keen sense of smell not to create perfumes, but to thwart those who would do her—and one of France’s beloved monarchs—great harm.

Anupama Chopra King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan and the Seductive World of Indian Cinema
Grand Central Publishing 2007 0446578584 Hardcover New in New dust jacket
New hardcover with no remainder mark. Professional service from a Main Street bookstore. ; 1.1 x 8.43 x 5.67 Inches; 272 pages; Here is the astonishing true story of Bollywood, a sweeping portrait about a country finding its identity, a movie industry that changed the face of India, and one man's struggle to become a star. Shah Rukh Khan's larger than life tale takes us through the colorful and idiosyncratic Bollywood movie industry, where fantastic dreams and outrageous obsessions share the spotlight with extortion, murder, and corruption. Shah Rukh Khan broke into this $1.5 billion business despite the fact that it has always been controlled by a handful of legendary film families and sometimes funded by black market money. As a Muslim in a Hindu majority nation, exulting in classic Indian cultural values, Shah Rukh Khan has come to embody the aspirations and contradictions of a complicated culture tumbling headlong into American style capitalism. His story is the mirror to view the greater Indian story and the underbelly of the culture of Bollywood.
"A bounty for cinema lovers everywhere."
--Mira Nair, Director, The Namesake and Monsoon Wedding
"King of Bollywood is the all-singing, all-dancing back stage pass to Bollywood. Anupama Chopra chronicles the political and cultural story of India with finesse and insight, through fly-on-wall access to one of its biggest, most charming and charismatic stars."
-- Gurinder Chadha, director of Bend it Like Beckham
"The "Easy Rider Raging Bull" of the Bollywood industry and essential reading for any Shah Rukh Khan fan."
--Emma Thompson, actress
"Anu Chopra infuses the pivotal moments of Shah Rukh Khan's life with an edge-of-your-seat tension worthy of the best Bollywood blockbusters."
--Kirkus

Arianna Huffington Right Is Wrong How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded the Constitution, and Made Us All Less Safe
Knopf 2008 0307269663 Hardcover New in New dust jacket
New hardcover with no remainder mark. Professional service from a Main Street bookstore. ; 1.4 x 9.7 x 6.9 Inches; 400 pages; With her trademark passion, intelligence, and devastating wit, Huffington Post editor in chief Arianna Huffington tackles the issues that are crucial to this year’s presidential election and, even more so, to the fate of the country.
Huffington makes the case that America has been hijacked from within by a radical element—the “lunatic fringe” of the Right that has taken over the Republican Party. Despite holding views at odds with the majority of Americans, these zealots have given us an endless war in Iraq, a sputtering economy, a health care system on life support, a war on science and reason, and an immoral embrace of torture.
But they haven’t done it on their own: they have been enabled by a compliant media that act as if there is no such thing as truth and are more interested in cozying up to those in power than in holding them accountable, and by feckless Democrats who have allowed themselves to be intimidated into backing down again and again.
Both a withering indictment and a hopeful call to arms, Right Is Wrong is an explosive, boldly incisive work that will help set the national agenda.

BRAND NEW! No dust jacket as issued. No remainder mark. ; 0.45 x 10.23 x 7.31 Inches; 32 pages; Up until now, Santas workshop had just boy elves. But then along came Elphina to change history. Arlene Buckner and the Tern Book Company have produced a childrens Christmas book that gives girl elves, and all little girls, recognition and equality. Elphina is the perfect Christmas book to read to a 2- to 6-year-old child/grandchild. After coming in from the cold, Elphina has a hard time fitting in. Her charm wins Santas heart right away, but the boy elves reject her. These macho toymakers dont realize her worth until the second time she saves the day. Little girls, especially, can identify with Elphina as she overcomes the obstacles and earns her social acceptance. Little boys may get an early lesson in gender equality without having to take sides with the boy elves or feel any less of themselves by accepting little girls. The book comes with a CD pasted to the inside back cover that contains six all new Christmas songs interleaved with a complete narration of the story. It is written in smooth flowing, rhyming poetry, and it is charmingly illustrated in watercolor drawings.

Armillas, Carmen & Robyn Moreno & Eric Gutierrez Suave The Latin Male
Universe Publishing 2001 0789306417 Softcover New with no dust jacket
New. No remainder marks. Professional service from a Main Street bookstore. ; 0.55 x 11.07 x 8.56 Inches; 168 pages; Chili peppers are hot, but Enrique Iglesias is hotter. Ninety-eight degrees Fahrenheit is hot, but Benjamin Bratt is hotter, so are Oscar de la Hoya, Benicio del Toro, Javier Bardem, and Antonio Banderas. From Cuba to Mexico and Spain to Puerto Rico, Latin stars are taking popular culture by storm. The breakaway success of Ricky Martin, the surprising popularity of The Buena Vista Social Club, and the chart-topping status of Marc Anthony all point to the emergence of Latin stars and culture in American society.
Suave is a provocative look at some of the most famous, and even infamous Latin men of our time. Before Banderas there was Rudolph Valentino. Before Freddie Prinze Jr. there were Prinze Sr., Desà Arnáz, Ricardo Montalban, and a host of others. From the music worlds of salsa, merengue, rock, and hip-hop to the silver screen and the glossy pages of magazines, Latin men intrigue us. From serious politicians to artists and athletes, this collection of extraordinary photographs demonstrates how these new superstars and unforgettable icons can play every role. Here is a snapshot of the men who embody culture and style and shape trends. Suave pays homage to those men-- past and present-- who changed the way America looks, thinks, eats, and dances.

Arnold Weinstein Recovering Your Story Proust, Joyce, Woolf, Faulkner, Morrison
Random House 2006 140006094X Hardcover New in New dust jacket
New. No remainder marks. Display copy; light shelf wear. Professional service from a Main street bookstore. ; 1.6 x 9.3 x 6.3 Inches; 512 pages; “Great art discovers for us who we are,” writes eminent literature professor and critic Arnold Weinstein in this magisterial new book about how we can better uncover and understand our own stories by reading five major modern writers. Professor Weinstein, author of the highly acclaimed A Scream Goes Through the House, has spent a lifetime guiding students through the work of great writers, and in a volume that crowns his career, Weinstein invites us to discover ourselves–our perceptions, our dreams, our own elusive, deepest stories–in the masterpieces of modernist fiction.
Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, William Faulkner: the very names sound intimidating. Yet as Weinstein argues with wit and passion, the works of these authors, and of their contemporary heir Toni Morrison, are in fact shimmering mirrors of our own inner world and most intimate thoughts. Novels such as Remembrance of Things Past, Ulysses, Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, The Sound and the Fury, Absalom, Absalom!, and Beloved allow us to explore the inner worlds of human feeling and bring us face-to-face with our own deepest selves and desires. Weinstein decodes these great novels, and he shows how to read them to understand human beings–the way our minds and hearts actually work. This is what Weinstein means by “recovering your story.”
Weinstein illuminates the complex pleasures woven into these peerless narratives. Beneath the slow, sensual cadences of Proust he finds an edgy erotic tension as well as a remarkably crisp depiction of the timeless world inside the self. Joyce’s Ulysses, in Weinstein’s brilliantly original reading, is a protean linguistic experiment that forces us to view both our bodies and our minds in a radically new–and hilariously funny–light. His analysis of Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse circles back again and again on Woolf’s depiction of the importance of relationships in knowing the self. Faulkner, argues Weinstein, is at once our greatest tragedian and our darkest comedian, a novelist who captures both the agony and absurdity of consciousness in a time of social and moral disintegration. Finally, in Toni Morrison’s Beloved, Weinstein explores the legacy of modernism in a contemporary novel, as Morrison brings the body into the literary picture, confronting how the body affects not only our fundamental concept of self, but also consciousness itself.
In this magnificent work of literary appreciation and exploration, Weinstein makes the astonishing discovery of the self as a part of the joy of reading great modernist fiction, even as he makes these powerful works understandable, accessible, indeed imperative for all adventurous readers.

Arthur C. Clarke And Frederik Pohl The Last Theorem
Del Rey 2008 0345470214 Hardcover New in Very Good dust jacket
New hardcover with no remainder mark. DJ has some light shelf wear, light rubbing. Professional service from a Main Street bookstore. ; 1.3 x 9.3 x 6.2 Inches; 320 pages; Two of science fiction’s most renowned writers join forces for a storytelling sensation. The historic collaboration between Frederik Pohl and his fellow founding father of the genre, Arthur C. Clarke, is both a momentous literary event and a fittingly grand farewell from the late, great visionary author of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Last Theorem is a story of one man’s mathematical obsession, and a celebration of the human spirit and the scientific method. It is also a gripping intellectual thriller in which humanity, facing extermination from all-but-omnipotent aliens, the Grand Galactics, must overcome differences of politics and religion and come together . . . or perish.
In 1637, the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat scrawled a note in the margin of a book about an enigmatic theorem: “I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain.” He also neglected to record his proof elsewhere. Thus began a search for the Holy Grail of mathematics–a search that didn’t end until 1994, when Andrew Wiles published a 150-page proof. But the proof was burdensome, overlong, and utilized mathematical techniques undreamed of in Fermat’s time, and so it left many critics unsatisfied–including young Ranjit Subramanian, a Sri Lankan with a special gift for mathematics and a passion for the famous “Last Theorem.”
When Ranjit writes a three-page proof of the theorem that relies exclusively on knowledge available to Fermat, his achievement is hailed as a work of genius, bringing him fame and fortune. But it also brings him to the attention of the National Security Agency and a shadowy United Nations outfit called Pax per Fidem, or Peace Through Transparency, whose secretive workings belie its name. Suddenly Ranjit–together with his wife, Myra de Soyza, an expert in artificial intelligence, and their burgeoning family–finds himself swept up in world-shaking events, his genius for abstract mathematical thought put to uses that are both concrete and potentially deadly.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to anyone on Earth, an alien fleet is approaching the planet at a significant percentage of the speed of light. Their mission: to exterminate the dangerous species of primates known as homo sapiens.
