1957 Whitman "Wizard of Oz" Book Some light wear on spine (see pic) but very clean inside, lacking cardboard on spine Hardcover  Laddie and Miss Toosey's Mission Anonymous (Evelyn Whitaker) Synopsis of Laddie: An old woman leaves her life-long home (Sunnybrook in Martel in Somersetshire) and journeys to London to surprise her son, Laddie. The son has been in London for 15 years and has become Dr. John Clement: Miss Toosey, an old woman who "went three times to church" on Sundays, becomes concerned for the "Nawaub mission" in "black Africa." Her "listening rapt face-quite a common, little, wizened old-maidish face, with nothing intellectual or noble about it, and yet transfigured into something like beauty with the brightness of a reflected light"-attracts the attention of young and prosperous John Rossitter, a man of the world, a barrister and a sportsman. The story of Miss Toosey's missionary effort, of Mr. Rossitter's growing relationship with her, and of his response to her passion for the Nawaub mission. Henry Altemus Company, 1907 style cover.

Populated by a large cast of sympathetic and colorful characters, the story follows their lives as they strive, fail, occasionally triumph, and often suffer. The focus of the story is the sad romance, thwarted by racism, between Judy Rhines, who is white, and Cornelius Finson, who is a free black man. Fittingly, the inhabitants of Dogtown include a population of dogs, some of whom contribute to the story. Size Length: 263 pages Height: 9.8 in. Width: 6.5 in. Thickness: 1.2 in. Weight: 16.0 oz.

Width: 6.5 in. Thickness: 1.5 in. Weight: 28.8 oz. no dust jacket.. Publisher's Note -- Renowned and classic work of alternate history -- One event re-shapes a continent The British General John Burgoyne, heavily outnumbered by American troops, surrendered his army to General Horatio Gates at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777, a major turning-point of the American Revolution. In "For Want of a Nail", however, reinforcements arrive at Saratoga, Gates's men flee, and Burgoyne is victorious. Rather than openly allying itself with the American rebels, France withdraws its support, as does Spain, and the colonies surrender. Former rebels who refuse to live in the Confederation of North America established by the British leave their homes and settle in what becomes the United States of Mexico. From then on the two continental nations find themselves constant rivals, locked in military, political and economic conflict. Portions of this page Copyright 1995 - 2010 Muze Inc. All rights reserved.  Detailed item info Synopsis Books, war, love, and mind-blowing sadness spin together in this compelling and complex young-adult novel set during WWII in Germany. Death, a dour, sarcastic figure, chronicles the distressing, tumultuous life of young Liesel Meminger, a foster child in a poverty-stricken neighborhood. At the age of nine, the practically orphaned Liesel is sent to the Hubbermans just outside of Munich, where she is taught to read by her kindly foster father and given tough love by Rosa, his wife. The little girl's obsession with books becomes a consuming passion fueled by some life-changing thievery. Along with Liesel's joys and sorrows, and Death's observations on them, are the stories of Liesel's best friend, Rudy, and a young Jewish man hidden by the family. This stunning novel is a testament to the never-ending horrors of war in a gripping, highly original story. A 2007 Printz Honor recipient, 2006 Publishers Weekly Book of the Year, and a Kirkus Best Children's Book of 2006. Details Series: Readers Circle Size Length: 552 pages Height: 8 in. Width: 5.3 in. Thickness: 1.2 in. Weight: 14.4 oz. Publisher's Note It’s just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . . Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau. This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul. From the Hardcover edition. Trying to make sense of the horrors of World War II, Death relates the story of Liesel--a young German girl whose book-stealing and story-telling talents help sustain her family and the Jewish man they are hiding, as well as their neighbors. Industry reviews "This big, expansive novel is a leisurely working out of fate, of seemingly chance encounters and events that ultimately touch, like dominoes as they collide. The writing is elegant, philosophical and moving. Even at its length, it's a work to read slowly and savor. Beautiful and important." Kirkus (01/15/2006) "This hefty volume is an achievement...It's a measure of how successfully Zusak has humanized these characters that even though we know they are doomed, it's no less devastating when Death finally reaches them." Publishers Weekly (01/30/2006) "[B]rilliant and hugely ambitious...[T]he kind of book that can be life-changing, because without ever denying the essential amorality and randomness of the natural order, THE BOOK THIEF offers us a believable, hard-won hope. That hope is embodied in Liesel, who grows into a good and generous person despite the suffering all around her...." (05/14/2006) Portions of this page Copyright 1995 - 2010 Muze Inc.

Publisher's Note Follows four generations of African American women from slavery to the early twentieth century as they struggle for economic security and the future of their families along the Cane River in rural Louisiana. Industry reviews "An accomplished first novel....Tademy's people are distinctive personalities, enough so to compensate for the slackening of narrative energy as the story moves into the 1930s. The result is a richly textured family saga that resonates with intelligence and empathy." Kirkus Reviews (02/15/2001)  Detailed item info Synopsis In his 20th novel, John Updike creates the character of Hope Chafetz, a successful painter, who was married to a Jackson Pollock-like figure and then to another artist, reminiscent of Andy Warhol. Now aging and settled down with a stockbroker, Hope is being interviewed by a journalist named Kathryn, and this provides the occasion for her to comment extensively not only on the events of her life but also on American art and artists in the second half of the 20th century. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002. Size Length: 276 pages Height: 8.3 in. Width: 5.5 in. Thickness: 1 in.
