This edition Harper & Row: Perennial Library, published in 1988. Trade Paperback. Sly, detached humor has caused Brookner to be compared to Barbara Pym, but her vision is darker and more complex . Brookner's ambitions exceed those of Pym's genteel novels of manners and place her outside the genre, to which her writing, with its delicate shadings of character, otherwise seem suited. The story line here finds, Blanche Vernon, who, after twenty years of marriage, is alone; abandoned by her husband Bertie for a childishly demanding computer expert named Mousie. While Blanche finds this turn of events baffling, she feels that Bertie must have left her because of her overly sensible demeanor. Yet many of their mutual friends disagree. In fact, Blanche has come to be regarded as undeniably eccentric--making elliptical remarks that no one knows how to read, and chatting at great length about characters in fiction. She resolutely fills her unwanted hours with activities, maintaining her excellent appearance, drinking increasingly more wine, and, in an attempt to turn her energy to good works, becoming severely enmeshed in the life of a disordered young family.

Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Light wear to rear cover. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. xii + 147 pages. At the heart of Origami Bridges is the delicate relationship of trust between analyst and patient, a relationship that grows out of the emotional give-and-take of the psychoanalytic process. In this collection, Diane Ackerman, with astonishing candor, lays bare her desires, anger, jealousy, fears, and anxiety, as she probes not only her present emotional landscape but also her past. And what gradually rises to the surface is an understanding of how the poet uses verse to purge her demons, express her delight, or confess secret longing, and through this process come to a better understanding of the self.

Book First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Printing. 263 Pages. First nine pages have a vertical crease. Beyond that is a tight bright book with no marks or stamps. Illustrtrated with eight pages of black and white photographs. Presents the best of America in the true-life story of an isolated prairie town that transformed its railroad depot into a comforting haven for American soldiers from every walk of life as they rolled through on troop trains, en route to Europe and the Pacific. The Nebraskan town of North Platte, now dotted with stripmalls and fast food restaurants, lies on the rail line where, sixty years ago, American soldiers preparing to head off to World War II would stop. The hospitality they received there was homegrown. The tiny town, wanting to offer the servicemen warmth and support, transformed its modest railroad depot into the North Platte Canteen. Every day of the year, every day of the war, the Canteen, staffed and funded entirely by local volunteers, was open from 5 a.m. until the last troop train of the day pulled away after midnight. Astonishingly, this remote plains community of only 12,000 people provided welcoming words, friendship and baskets of food and treats to more than 6 million GIs by the time the war ended. A poignant and heartwarming eyewitness history, based on interviews with North Platte residents and the soldiers who once passed their way. A classic lost-in-the mists-of-time American story of a grateful country honoring its brave and dedicated sons.

NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 214pp. Trade Paperback. Tilghman is gifted with the ability to express the secret yearnings, fears, regrets, and resentments of characters who can't speak for themselves. Perhaps the best example of this is "A Gracious Rain," in which Stanley, a blue-collar worker, ponders the meaning of life and feelings he can't articulate even to himself. Stanley's general satisfaction with his life forms a poignant contrast to his untimely death from a heart attack. The story's brooding, ruminative tone infuses this tragedy with a kind of eerie calm. At the story's close, Stanley becomes omniscient in death, like the characters in "Our Town." As he looks into the souls of those he knew, he discovers that it's the absence of pat answers to life's great questions that keeps us going. Most of the stories in this collection deal with fathers, especially those trying to hold together shaky family foundations in the face of uncertain futures. Readers will find their thoughts turning again and again to the insights these stories impart--the mark of satisfying, skillful fiction. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Fine. Soun Vannithone (illustrator). New York: HarperCollins / Perennial, August 2002. Trade Paperback. Fine. Pristine inside and out. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. xx + 329 pages. In 1793, a canal digger named William Smith made a startling discovery. He found that by tracing the placement of fossils, which he uncovered in his excavations, one could follow layers of rocks as they dipped and rose and fell -- clear across England and, indeed, clear across the world -- making it possible, for the first time ever, to draw a chart of the hidden underside of the earth. Determined to expose what he realized was the landscape's secret fourth dimension, Smith spent twenty-two years piecing together the fragments of this unseen universe to create an epochal and remarkably beautiful hand-painted map. But instead of receiving accolades and honors, he ended up in debtors' prison, the victim of plagiarism, and virtually homeless for ten years more. Finally, in 1831, this quiet genius -- now known as the father of modern geology -- received the Geological Society of London's highest award and King William IV offered him a lifetime pension.

Benedict chooses a premise that is easy to prove: Professional athletes, particularly NBA players, statistically are more likely than the general population to commit crimes, specifically crimes of sex and violence. His research is very compelling as he provides statistics on the number of players in his sample who have been accused of crime. This book presents a wealth of information and interesting, though disturbing stories. And it's also damning to the many good players/citizens who are painted with this broad brush. But if you are a female and want to be around NBA players, you need to understand what you may be dealing with. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated.

Avery James was raised in a foundling home in southeast Colorado where her only real friend was the school's cook, Esperanza. After a disastrous placement in foster care and the death of Esperanza, Avery runs away and ends up with Cassie, an old curandera (herb-woman, healer, witch) in New Mexico. Because of her lonely childhood, Avery has built a wall around her heart and pushes back anyone who tries to care about her. After Cassie's death, Avery is once again set adrift and runs away from Will Cameron, the young man who is in love with her. Avery hitchhikes to Albuquerque, where she works in a diner and attends night classes at the university. On a whim, she and her roommate move to Santa Fe, where Avery finds work with a catering company. This is how she meets Paul deGraf, her mother's former lover, and begins to unravel the mystery of who her mother was, and who Avery is, was, and wants to be. I used to live in Santa Fe and found the descriptions of the town and its inhabitants spot-on. Hendricks' fluid and detailed descriptions of the food often made my mouth water.
