Don't Let the Turkeys Get You Downby Sandra BoyntonISBN 0894800132 (0-89480-013-2)
Softcover, Workman Pub Co
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Don't Let the Turkeys Get You Down'Book summary:Dedicated to Whom It May Concern, Don't Let the Turkeys Get You Down is Sandra Boynton's hilarious commentary and 150 full-color drawings identifying the ubiquitous turkey's distinguishing characteristics and most common habitats. Any similarity to actual persons living or in Los Angeles is strictly unintentional, including the stuff on page 54 that will remind many people of Snigbert Knuddsen.
From the turkeys extremely large ego to its arrogant behavior, the traits are classified. Boynton traces the turkey's influence on history, the neighborhood, the family, more. Several profiles in turkitude and a pop quiz further uncover turkeys in the immediate vicinity.
Forewarned is forearmed: turkeys possess absolutely unwarranted and absolutely unshakable self-confidence. They insist on high visibility, and can show up at a party, in an argument, on the jogging path. The reader's best defense is through study of this important manual, keying in on the single most important turkey fact: a turkey never knows that it is a turkey.

Instant Livesby Howard Moss, Edward GoreyISBN 0880015861 (0-88001-586-1)
Softcover, HarperCollins Publishers
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Instant Lives and More'Book summary:Instant Lives is a wonderfully weird collaboration between Howard Moss and Edward Gorey. This brilliant collection of vignettes of the lives of the literati, punctuated by Gorey's droll illustrations, depends on wordplay, absurd non sequitur, outrageous puns, and dead-on parody of its subjects' styles to create a slim book that will have you weeping with laughter. Consider, for example, the opening lines of "Oscar Wilde": "'Bon mots, among intimates, are the cablegrams of the desert,' Oscar said, his finger still firmly on the pulse of the epigram." Or the epiphany in "Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky": "He felt a sudden inspiration. Not a pig ballet but a bird ballet! He rushed over to his writing desk and changed 'Swine' to 'Swan.' Swan Lake. Of course! The whole thing was falling into place."
Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, Paul Gauguin, John Donne, and James Joyce are just a few of Moss's targets in this hilarious little book. Moss approaches Johann Sebastian Bach from his wife's perspective ("'Thunderation!' Magda exclaimed. She'd just climbed the one hundred and seventeen steps to the belfry. 'Do you have to sit here and compose all day just to prove you're a Christian believer?'") and credits El Greco's future career as an artist to his eye doctor ("'Why not make a virtue out of a defect, El?' the kindly eye doctor asked.... The boy's eyes were not only hopelessly astigmatic, but a peculiarity, unique to the doctor's experience and probably genetic in origin, had elongated the lenses of the irises so that El Greco saw every object in the world attenuated to the point of emaciation"). Instant Lives will be an instant hit among readers with a strong appreciation for the ridiculous and the whimsical. --Alix Wilber [via]

Hardcover, Penguin Group USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Mark Twain'Book summary:Here for the first time in one volume are the most famous and characteristic of Mark Twain's works. Through each of them runs the powerful and majestic Mississippi. The river represented for Twain the complex and contradictory possibilities in his own and the nation's life: the place where civilization's comforts meet the violence and promise of freedom of the frontier. It was the place, too, where Twain's youthful innocence confronted the grim reality of slavery. The nostalgic re-creation of childhood in "Tom Sawyer"--"simply a hymn put into prose form to give it a worldly air," said Twain--and the richly anecdotal memoir of his days as a riverboat pilot in "Life on the Mississippi" give way to the realism and often dark comedy of "Huckleberry Finn" and the troubled exploration of slavery in his mystery, "Pudd'nhead Wilson." Together, these four books trace the central trajectory of his life and career, and they can be read as a single masterpiece. [via]

A Spell for Chameleonby Piers AnthonyISBN 088103116X (0-88103-116-X)
Hardcover, Bt Bound
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'A Spell for Chameleon'Book summary:Though already developing a successful career in SF with such heady novels as Chthon and Omnivore, Piers Anthony did not reach brand-name status until he cooked up some fantasy in 1977. And it was cheerful, humorous fantasy at that, as in his first Xanth series novel, A Spell for Chameleon. The book's young hero, Bink, is without magical powers in a world ruled entirely by magic. Worse still, if he doesn't discover his own magical talent soon, he will be forever banished from his homeland. Naturally, it takes an epic quest for Bink to learn what his unique talent truly is--and perhaps to win the girl of his dreams as well. A Spell for Chameleon was the very first of Anthony's bestselling (and still ongoing) humorous fantasy series. Noteworthy for their outrageous word puns and bizarre characters, the Xanth books are a light yet often satisfying brew, especially when compared with the author's sometimes nihilistic and ultraviolent hard SF. --Stanley Wiater [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Swimming To Cambodia'Book summary:[via]It took courage to do what Spalding didcourage to make theatre so naked and unadorned, to expose himself in this way and fight the demons in public. In doing so, he entered our heartsmy heartbecause he made his struggle my struggle. His life became my life. Eric Bogosian
Virtuosic. A master writer, reporter, comic and playwright. Spalding Gray is a sit-down monologist with the soul of a stand-up comedian. A contemporary Gulliver, he travels the globe in search of experience and finds the ridiculous. The New York Times
In 2004, we mourned the loss of one of Americas true theatrical innovators. Spalding Gray took his own life by jumping from the Staten Island ferry into the waters of New York Harbor, finally succumbing to the impossible notion that he could in fact swim to Cambodia. At a memorial gathering for family, friends and fans at Lincoln Center in New York, his widow expressed the need to honor Grays legacy as an artist and writer for his children, as well as for future generations of fans and readers. Originally published in 1985, Swimming to Cambodia is reissued here 20 years later in a new edition as a tribute to Grays singular artistry.
Writer, actor and performer, Spalding Gray is the author of Sex and Death to the Age 14; Monster in a Box; Its a Slippery Slope; Grays Anatomy and Morning, Noon and Night, among other works. His appearance in The Killing Fields was the inspiration for his Swimming to Cambodia, which was also filmed by Jonathan Demme.

Two for the Lionsby Lindsey DavisISBN 0892966939 (0-89296-693-9)
Hardcover, Grand Central Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Two for the Lions'Book summary:Marcus Didius Falco, Lindsey Davis's clever, ambitious, not-so-holy Roman man about town, is on special assignment for the Emperor Vespacian. This time he's tracking down tax fraud among the bestiarii, the slaughterers, and the lanistae, the suppliers of the gladiators and animals who provide the executions, spectacles, and entertainment for the Roman masses.
Hoisted by his own tarnished petard, Falco is unwillingly partnered with his ex-boss Anacrites, Rome's chief spy, but that's the least of his problems; his investigation has hardly begun when he finds himself in the tunnels under the arena with a lion named Leonidas--a man-killer who may or may not have been switched with a tamer beast for a private party meant to impress a wealthy Senator's mistress.
While Leonidas presents no immediate threat to Falco--the king of the jungle is quite dead--the circumstances of the beast's demise lead Falco to ponder a connection between a murderous feud that seems to have broken out in the ranks of the lanistae and the lucrative contracts soon to be let by the emperor for his magnificent new amphitheater. And when the most popular gladiator in Rome is killed--not in the arena, as might be expected, but while sleeping in his own bed--Falco and his patrician lover Helena take passage to Tripoli to track down the perpetrator. Along the way, they attempt to solve a domestic crisis involving Helena's youngest brother, who seems to be right in the middle of the African connection between the murders of man and beast, as well as the feud between two powerful lanistae. And there's still another reason to embark on a journey to the Dark Continent--the search for an extinct variety of wild garlic, which could make Falco a wealthy man and which ends with a hilarious denouement.
As usual, Davis serves up a generous helping of history, a raffish band of minor characters, a charming love story, and surprisingly relevant commentary on the nature of the bureaucracy, politics, and chicanery among the rich and famous. Two for the Lions promises--and delivers--a treat for the author's many fans, and a terrific introduction to his new ones. --Jane Adams [via]

Zodiacby Neal StephensonISBN 0871131811 (0-87113-181-1)
Softcover, Atlantic Monthly Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Zodiac'Book summary:Believe it or not, some readers find Zodiac even more fun than Neal Stephenson's defining 1990s cyberpunk novel, Snow Crash. Zodiac is set in Boston, and hero Sangamon Taylor (S. T.) ironically describes his hilarious exploits in the first person. S. T. is a modern superhero, a self-proclaimed Toxic Spiderman. With stealth, spunk, and the backing of GEE (a non-profit environmental group) as his weapons, S. T. chases down the bad guys with James Bond-like Zen.
Cruising Boston Harbor with lab tests and scuba gear, S. T. rides in with the ecosystem cavalry on his 40-horsepower Zodiac raft. His job of tracking down poisonous runoff and embarrassing the powerful corporations who caused them becomes more sticky than usual; run-ins with a gang of satanic rock fans, a deranged geneticist, and a mysterious PCB contamination that may or may not be man-made--plus a falling-out with his competent ("I adore stress") girlfriend--all complicate his mission.
Stephenson/S. T.'s irreverent, facetious, esprit-filled voice make this near-future tale a joy to read. [via]
