DUST JACKET: Repaired; Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; Light Moisture Damage (Spine Colour Bleed to Cover Reverse); Slight Yellowing Due to Age; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. JACKET DESIGN: Kathy Saksa. JACKET PAPER DESIGN: Katherine Loeffler. SYNOPSIS: If I was absolutely certain about all things, I would spend my life in anxious misery, fearful of losing my way. But since everything and anything is always possible, the miraculous is always nearby and wonders shall never, ever cease. I believe that human freedom may be stated in one term, which serves as a little brick propping open the door of existence: Maybe. Such is the philosophy that has built Robert Fulghum's All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, It Was on Fire When I Lay Down on It, and Uh-Oh into international bestsellers. His first book of wit and wisdom, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, occupied the number one spot on the New York Times bestseller list for some 96 weeks. It was also number one in Ivy paperback, spent 133 weeks on the New York Times list, and has achieved the status of a contemporary classic. It Was on Fire When I Lay Don on It, his second book, also soared to instant success, becoming part of publishing history by seizing the New York Times' top hardcover slot while Kindergarten remained a simultaneous hardcover and paperback bestseller. Uh-Oh, another number one bestseller, also reflects on the wonders of everyday life. Fulghum's books radiate a spiritual, yet down-to-earth universality that has made his writing appealing to readers in twenty-four languages; his books are distributed in ninety-three countries. To those modern classics, he now adds Maybe (Maybe Not), his wisest and most entertaining work to date. Opting for constant surprise, he continues to amuse and inspire with enlightenment encountered in the most unexpected ways and places. Consider Fulghum's thoughts on the secret life (that nonstop epic playing inside our heads, where all our best-laid dreams are hatched), on barbershop mythology, the shifting significance of nicknames over the course of a lifetime, or the circumstances of one's own conception. Contemplate along with him the revelations afforded by ironing a shirt, a rousing session of musical chairs, or the ethical struggle to decide a poinsettia's fate; acknowledge that love indeed transcends the ravages of time and that some family secrets can be gifts of joy. Maybe (Maybe Not) is Robert Fulghum at his best: balancing levity and gravity with amazing grace as he makes us a little more aware of the richness and fullness of our lives. Philosopher and essayist Robert Fulghum grew up in Waco, Texas. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

SYNOPSIS: There are few athletes--there are few people--who have had as much written, reported or rumored about them as Reggie Jackson. He has been depicted in the media as a hero, a villain, an intellectual, a fake, the greatest clutch baseball player of his generation, an egomaniac. He has been loved by the fans and hated by the fans. He has battled and lost, he has battled and triumphed. The only constant--aside from his incredible ability to win wherever he goes--has been the bewildering web of contradictions surrounding him. At long last, that web has been unraveled. The contradictions have been set straight. The truths have been revealed by the only man who could, once and for all, reveal them: Reginald Martinez Jackson. This is his story. Reggie's background is as surprising and complex and dramatic as his ascension to superstardom. The product of a broken home, he grew up in a white suburb of Philadelphia. He played football for Frank Kush at Arizona State University before emerging as a star baseball player during his sophomore year at college. The Mets didn't choose him with their number one draft pick because he had a white girlfriend, so he wound up with the Oakland A's--forming the nucleus of one of the greatest teams in baseball history. In the minor leagues he spent a year in the Deep South, encountering tremendous racism, meeting Bear Bryant, becoming the Minor League Player of the Year. Making it to the major leagues, he began his legendary career--and his equally legendary battles with Charles O. Finley. Then came a year with the Orioles and Earl Weaver. And then came the Yankee years, five of the most exciting and tumultuous years in sports history. George Steinbrenner, Billy Martin, Graig Nettles, Thurman Munson, Catfish Hunter--Reggie discusses them all in great depth, speaking from the heart. He reveals the private agony of the championship 1977 and '78 seasons, the joy of hitting three home runs in one World Series game, the jealousies in the clubhouse, the distortions in the media, the controversial behavior of management. This is Reggie Jackson in all his glory and all his pain, from childhood through today. It is Reggie Jackson: hick from Wyncote, Pennsylvania; scared youngster in the South; Oakland "superduperstar," as Sports Illustrated called him; Yankee and Angel; top television commentator; successful and important businessman; husband and lover; car collector--a complex man who has at last come to grips with exactly who he is. Reggie is the story of a baseball career that will be remembered forever, but it is also the story of a man who deserves to be remembered. Reginald Martinez Jackson has houses in Oakland, Newport Beach and New York City. Between the months of April and October he can be found traveling around the country with the number 44 on his back. He has hit more home runs than any active player. In his fifteen-year career, he has been on three division winners, five world championship teams and one pennant winner. In addition to his baseball career, Reggie Jackson is the automotive editor for Penthouse, an announcer for ABC-TV, and spokesperson for Standard Brands and Panavision among many other companies. Mike Lupica is the youngest writer ever to have his own column in a New York newspaper. His column now runs in the New York Daily News four times a week and on Sunday. Mr. Lupica is also writing a mystery novel for Villard--the first of a projected series. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Ex-Library.

SYNOPSIS: Iraq wants him dead or alive--preferably dead. They've put a multimillion-dollar contract on his head. Terrorist tells the true story of the Iraqi Terror Network--who they are, what they are, how they work, and what they're going to do next! Adnan Awad was a high-ranking member of the Abu Ibrahim group--one of the most shadowy, ruthless, and bloody terrorist organizations in the world. Based in Baghdad, Ibrahim worked hand in hand with Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein plotting the deaths of thousands of Americans. Only one ham has ever escaped from Ibrahim's iron grasp--Adnan--and here he gives the first inside view of the massive Iraqi terror network around the world. Adnan, the highest-ranking terrorist ever to defect to the West, is the major intelligence asset the United States has in the war on terrorism. When war in the Persian Gulf erupted, he could have been the CIA's and FBI's chief counterterrorism weapon--but he wasn't allowed to be. Terrorist is not only the personal story of the making and unmaking of an Iraqi terrorist. It is also the shocking and scandalous story of American complicity in the creation of the Iraqi terror empire. Brilliant reporting and research shows that, over a period of time, Iraq had developed the most far-flung terrorist organization in the world, surpassing even Libya and Syria. However, right up to the day before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the United States deliberately turned a blind eye to the massive evidence of Iraqi terrorism around the world, all the while secretly selling Iraq military technology. Terrorist is a moving and shocking human drama, but, far more important, it is the only inside and accurate picture we have of the world's most dangerous and evil forces. Steven A. Emerson is a Washington-based correspondent specializing in national security issues. His reports appear on CNN, and he frequently publishes in The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and The New Republic. The author of three other books, he is a three-time recipient of the Investigative Reporters and Editors Award for best national investigative reporting. Cristina Del Sesto is a Washington-based free-lance writer. She regularly contributes to The Washington Post, and her articles have also appeared in national magazines.
