Nicole Hollander
Tales of Graceful Aging from the Planet Denial

2007 y.
Publisher: Broadway
Description: One of America`s funniest women asks, `If sixty is the new fifty, when do I get to be thirty again?` Nicole Hollander grew up in the nineteen-fifties, when women of a certain age put on weight, got a really tight perm, and rode the backs of their house slippers into the ground. Oh, for those uncomplicated good old days.

Luckily, in Tales of Graceful Aging from the Planet Denial, Nicole, creator of the beloved Sylvia comic strip and one of the pioneers of the genre of humor about women and their cats, guides us through the important decisions that come in one`s mature years: Accept the senior citizen discount or feign indignation? Get plastic surgery or just a really good haircut? Nicole applies her ironic wit to such topics as whether to lobby Harry Winston for a foundation to provide chauffeur-driven… [detailed...]

Edgar Allan Poe
Tales of Mystery and Imagination (подарочное издание)

2003 y.
Publisher: CRW Publishing Limited
Description: Стильно оформленное подарочное издание в суперобложке, с трехсторонним золотым обрезом и шелковым ляссе. This collection of Poe`s work contains some of the most exciting and haunting stories ever written. They range from the poetic to the mysterious to the darkly comic, yet all possess the genius for the grotesque that defines Poe`s writing. They are peopled with neurotics and social outcasts, obsessed with nameless terrors or preoccupied with seemingly insoluble mysteries. The Tell-Tale Heart and The Fall of the House of Usher are key works in the horror canon, while in The Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Mystery of Marie Roget we find the origins of modern detective fiction. Collectively, these tales represent the best of Edgar Allan Poe`s prose work before his premature death in 1849. Формат: 10 см x 15,5 см. [detailed...]

Story number seven brings all the characters of the first six together for one grand adventure.These stories are written for children of all ages and can be enjoyed by parent and child alike. Each adventure includes Biblical lessons that will inspire the reader and also start a dialogue between parent and child about God and personal accountability. Children tend to have a natural love for Jesus Christ, but sometimes they grow away from Him as they get older because they never truly got to know him. Some just seem to love Him because they sit in church every Sunday and they see that their parents are pleased when they say they love Him. Children need to get to know Jesus at a level they can understand, and that their decision to follow Him requires a willingness to change their heart and behavior.I have written… [detailed...]

Description: George Hixson is about as authentic a man of the old west as you can find. Growing up in Colorado, he and his brother were treated like grown-up men by their father. There was no coddling. At age ten he drove the wagon trailing a band of sheep from Las Vegas, New Mexico, to Limon, Colorado, and was forty-nine days on the trail. Ranching and working with livestock filled his life and prepared him for his stint as a mule twister. The 20-Hitch matched white mule team he drove in the 70s and 80s was a job that took him and his team all over the western parts of the United States, from small county fairs to The Cow Palace in San Francisco, the Denver Stock Show, and of course, The Portland Rose Festival, which started it all. In TALES OF A MULE TWISTER he recounts many of his adventures and the rigors encountered driving that team. [detailed...]
