1984by George OrwellISBN 1421808323 (1-4218-0832-3)
Hardcover, 1st World Library
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: '1984'Book summary:Among the seminal texts of the 20th century, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real. Published in 1949, the book offers political satirist George Orwell's nightmare vision of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff's attempt to find individuality. The brilliance of the novel is Orwell's prescience of modern life--the ubiquity of television, the distortion of the language--and his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written. [via]

The Adventures of Tom Sawyerby Mark Twain, Alyssa Harad, Cynthia Brantley JohnsonISBN 1416500227 (1-4165-0022-7)
Softcover, Pocket Classics
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'Book summary:This classic novel of childhood is set in fictional St. Petersburg, a town based on Mark Twain s hometown of Hannibal, Missouri. Twain s recounting of Tom Sawyer s many escapades is by turns nostalgic, satiric, wise, and hilarious. While this novel is often considered mainly as the precursor to Twain s great work The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, it is abundantly worth considering for its own deft and loving transformation of autobiography into fiction. In addition to the full text of the novel based on the first American edition, complete with a selection of the original illustrations by True Williams, this Broadview edition provides a wide range of appendices that place the novel in the context of 1840s rural America as well as 1870s literary America. These include materials on the composition and marketing of Tom Sawyer, selections from other "boy books" of the period, and historical documents relating to temperance, children's literature, and schools.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'Book summary:Who could forget the pranks, the adventures, the sheer fun of Tom Sawyer? Its something every child should experience and every child will love. From Toms sly trickery with the whitewashed fencewhen he cleverly manipulates everyone so they happily do his work for himto his and Becky Thatchers calamities in Bat Cave, the enjoyment just never ends.The illustrations for this series were created by Scott McKowen, who, with his wife Christina Poddubiuk, operates Punch & Judy Inc., a company specializing in design and illustration for theater and performing arts. Their projects often involve research into the visual aspects of historical settings and characters. Christina is a theater set and costume designer and contributed advice on the period clothing for the illustrations.[via]
Scott created these drawings in scratchboard an engraving medium which evokes the look of popular art from the period of these stories. Scratchboard is an illustration board with a specifically prepared surface of hard white chalk. A thin layer of black ink is rolled over the surface, and lines are drawn by hand with a sharp knife by scraping through the ink layer to expose the white surface underneath. The finished drawings are then scanned and the color is added digitally.More editions of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer:

Angels & Demonsby Dan BrownISBN 1416524797 (1-4165-2479-7)
Softcover, Pocket Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Angels & Demons'Book summary:It takes guts to write a novel that combines an ancient secret brotherhood, the Swiss Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, a papal conclave, mysterious ambigrams, a plot against the Vatican, a mad scientist in a wheelchair, particles of antimatter, jets that can travel 15,000 miles per hour, crafty assassins, a beautiful Italian physicist, and a Harvard professor of religious iconology. It takes talent to make that novel anything but ridiculous. Kudos to Dan Brown (Digital Fortress) for achieving the nearly impossible. Angels & Demons is a no-holds-barred, pull-out-all-the-stops, breathless tangle of a thriller--think Katherine Neville's The Eight (but cleverer) or Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum (but more accessible).
Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is shocked to find proof that the legendary secret society, the Illuminati--dedicated since the time of Galileo to promoting the interests of science and condemning the blind faith of Catholicism--is alive, well, and murderously active. Brilliant physicist Leonardo Vetra has been murdered, his eyes plucked out, and the society's ancient symbol branded upon his chest. His final discovery, antimatter, the most powerful and dangerous energy source known to man, has disappeared--only to be hidden somewhere beneath Vatican City on the eve of the election of a new pope. Langdon and Vittoria, Vetra's daughter and colleague, embark on a frantic hunt through the streets, churches, and catacombs of Rome, following a 400-year-old trail to the lair of the Illuminati, to prevent the incineration of civilization.
Brown seems as much juggler as author--there are lots and lots of balls in the air in this novel, yet Brown manages to hurl the reader headlong into an almost surreal suspension of disbelief. While the reader might wish for a little more sardonic humor from Langdon, and a little less bombastic philosophizing on the eternal conflict between religion and science, these are less fatal flaws than niggling annoyances--readers should have no trouble skimming past them and immersing themselves in a heck of a good read. "Brain candy" it may be, but my! It's tasty. --Kelly Flynn [via]

Danger Girlby J. Scott Campbell, Andy Hartnell, Bruce CampbellISBN 1563895498 (1-56389-549-8)
Softcover, Dc Comics
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Danger Girl'Book summary:J Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell had the purest of intentions when creating Danger Girl: to create an adventure comic in the vein of James Bond and Indiana Jones, swapping superheroes for an all-female team of elite spies and secret agents. And, at its best, it works. Campbell's artwork is crisp and dynamic, with clear influences from Arthur Adams and Todd McFarlane, and the stories are fast paced, following the newest recruit to the Danger Girls, Abbey Chase, who left behind her life as an adventurer, explorer and freelance troubleshooter for the high-stakes world of international espionage. With her new teammates--Russian knife expert Natalia Kassle, Australian mistress of the bullwhip Sydney Savage and British computer genius Silicon Valerie--Abbey uncovers a world-conquering plot by the evil Hammer organisation. Along the way, the team fight mad scientists and Nazi supermen with the aid of allies such as Deuce, Johnny Barracuda and Agent Zero, before facing treachery and a climactic confrontation on the Hammer's island headquarters.
It's easy to tell that Campbell and Hartnell had fun with Danger Girl--the stories hearken back to the matinee cliffhangers from the golden age of cinema, and this is clearly a labour of love from both creators. And it's always refreshing to read a comic that doesn't feature superheroes. It's just unfortunate that they swapped one comic book cliché for another: all of the female characters look like they were drawn by somebody who's never seen a real woman before (and this in spite of the fact that Campbell is married). They have waists that could comfortably fit through a Polo mint, and breasts that are just ludicrous (one wonders if the Danger Girls have ever seen their own feet). This is a book about strong, confident women, but it was written for teenage boys who learned everything they know about women by playing Tomb Raider. --Ted Kord [via]

The Foreign Correspondent: A Novelby Alan FurstISBN 1400060192 (1-4000-6019-2)
Hardcover, Random House Publishing Group
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Foreign Correspondent: A Novel'Book summary:From Alan Furst, whom The New York Times calls Americas preeminent spy novelist, comes an epic story of romantic love, love of country, and love of freedomthe story of a secret war fought in elegant hotel bars and first-class railway cars, in the mountains of Spain and the backstreets of Berlin. It is an inspiring, thrilling saga of everyday people forced by their hearts passion to fight in the war against tyranny.
By 1938, hundreds of Italian intellectuals, lawyers and journalists, university professors and scientists had escaped Mussolinis fascist government and taken refuge in Paris. There, amid the struggles of émigré life, they founded an Italian resistance, with an underground press that smuggled news and encouragement back to Italy. Fighting fascism with typewriters, they produced 512 clandestine newspapers. The Foreign Correspondent is their story.
Paris, a winter night in 1938: a murder/suicide at a discreet lovers hotel. But this is no romantic tragedit is the work of the OVRA, Mussolinis fascist secret police, and is meant to eliminate the editor of Liberazione, a clandestine émigré newspaper. Carlo Weisz, who has fled from Trieste and secured a job as a foreign correspondent with the Reuters bureau, becomes the new editor.
Weisz is, at that moment, in Spain, reporting on the last campaign of the Spanish civil war. But as soon as he returns to Paris, he is pursued by the French Sûreté, by agents of the OVRA, and by officers of the British Secret Intelligence Service. In the desperate politics of Europe on the edge of war, a foreign correspondent is a pawn, worth surveillance, or blackmail, or murder.
The Foreign Correspondent is the story of Carlo Weisz and a handful of antifascists: the army officer known as Colonel Ferrara, who fights for a lost cause in Spain; Arturo Salamone, the shrewd leader of a resistance group in Paris; and Christa von Schirren, the woman who becomes the love of Weiszs life, herself involved in a doomed resistance underground in Berlin.
The Foreign Correspondent is Alan Furst at his absolute besttaut and powerful, enigmatic and romantic, with sharp, seductive writing that takes the reader through darkness and intrigue to a spectacular denouement. [via]More editions of The Foreign Correspondent: A Novel:

› Find signed collectible books: 'A James Bond Omnibus'Book summary:Born in London in 1908, Ian Fleming worked variously as a banker and journalist before serving in the British Naval Intelligence during World War II. He published his first novel, "Casino Royale" in 1953 and thus started the astoundingly successful James Bond novels and films. Fleming died in 1964.This omnibus collection includes the 3 quintessential stories in this series . While these are the 5th, 6th, and 7th books, they are at the apex of his popularity, the actual cold war and were the first 3 turned into movies as well . In "From Russia With Love (1957)", SMERSH is the Soviet organ of vengeance, of interrogation, torture and death. James Bond is dedicated to the destruction of its agents wherever he finds them. Then the cold eye of SMERSH focuses on Bond and far away in Moscow a trap is laid for him. In "Doctor No (1958)", M calls this case a soft option. Bond can't quite agree. The tropical island is luxurious, the seductive Honey Rider is beautiful and willing. However, they are both part of the empire of Dr No. His obsession is power, and his gifts are pain-shaped. In "Goldfinger (1959)", a friendly game of two-handed canasta turns out to be thoroughly crooked and a beautiful girl ends up dead. In Bond's first encounter with Auric Goldfinger - the world's cleverest, cruellest criminal - useful lessons are learned. [via]

Jennifer Governmentby Max BarryISBN 1400030927 (1-4000-3092-7)
Softcover, Random House Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Jennifer Government'Book summary:In the horrifying, satirical near future of Max Barry's Jennifer Government, American corporations literally rule the world. Everyone takes his employer's name as his last name; once-autonomous nations as far-flung as Australia belong to the USA; and the National Rifle Association is not just a worldwide corporation, it's a hot, publicly traded stock. Hack Nike, a hapless employee seeking advancement, signs a multipage contract and then reads it. He discovers he's agreed to assassinate kids purchasing Nike's new line of athletic shoes, a stealth marketing maneuver designed to increase sales. And the dreaded government agent Jennifer Government is after him.
Like Steve Aylett, Alexander Besher, Douglas Coupland, Paul Di Filippo, Jim Munroe, Jeff Noon, and Chuck Palahniuk, Max Barry is an author of smartass, punky satire for the late capitalist era. It's a hip and happening field; before publication, Jennifer Government (Barry's second novel) was optioned by Stephen Soderbergh and George Clooney's Section 8 Films for a major motion picture. However, the level of literary accomplishment varies wildly among practitioners, from brilliant (Di Filippo and Palahniuk) to amateurish (Besher). This field is so hot, its writers needn't be nearly as accomplished as they'd have to become to break into any other form of fiction.
That said, like many of his fellow turn-of-the-millennium satirists, Barry is uneven. He has a lively imagination and a sharp eye for the absurdities and offenses of hypercorporate capitalism. But, with its sketchy characters and slow dialogue, Jennifer Government will disappoint anyone who believes the cover copy's grandiose claim that this is "a Catch-22 for the New World Order." --Cynthia Ward [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Killing'Book summary:When a small-time crook suddenly has big money on his hands, it's only natural that the police want to know where it came from. James' latest Cherub mission looks routine: make friends with the bad guy's children, infiltrate his home and dig up some leads for the cops to investigate. But the plot James begins to unravel isn't what anyone expected. And it seems like the only person who might know the truth is a reclusive eighteen-year-old boy. There's just one problem. The boy fell from a rooftop and died more than a year earlier. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Kirby's Last Circus'Book summary:From the author of The Missing Bishop and Monastery Nightmare comes one of the most memorable heroes since the eponymous protagonist of Fletch.Birch Kirby is a middle-aged private eye with a penchant for drinking too much, singing Irish barroom songs, and befriending $25-a-night ladies-of-the-night. He is not exactly the smoothest private eye in Chicago.But the CIA has noticed Kirby. They like his style. Nobody can be as genuinely inept as Kirby pretends to be, and they need someone with his imagination. After all, strange things are going on in the town of Grizzly Gulch, Illinois. The KGB keeps transmitting secret messages that, when decoded, read SAMD+23. The CIA has been scratching their heads over that one, but they expect Kirby to break the case.Three months behind in his rent, Kirby answers the call of duty and goes into deep cover as the bullpen catcher for the Grizzly Gulch No Sox, only to end up fighting off the No Soxs nymphomaniacal owner, Matilda Richwell, instead of the KGB. But through bumbles and accidents that would make Chevy Chase blush, Birch Kirby learns the meaning of SAMD+23. The struggle to save the world from ultimate catastrophe becomes the dramatic mainspring of this crisply written, crackingly entertaining novel of high jinks and serious conniving. [via]

› 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]

After surviving the shoot-down of his reconnaissance plane and his capture on May 1, 1960, Powers endured sixty-one days of rigorous interrogation by the KGB, a public trial, a conviction for espionage, and the start of a ten-year sentence. After nearly two years, the U.S. government obtained his release from prison in a dramatic exchange for convicted Soviet spy Rudolph Abel. The narrative is a tremendously exciting suspense story about a man who was labeled a traitor by many of his countrymen but who emerged a Cold War hero. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Travels With My Aunt'Book summary:[via]Described by Graham Greene as "the only book I have written just for the fun of it." Travels with My Aunt is the story of Hanry Pulling, a retired and complacent bank manager, who meets his septuagenarian Aunt Augusta for the first time at what he supposes to be his mother's funeral. She soon persuades Henry to abandon his dull suburban existence to travel her wayto Brighton, Paris, Istanbul, Paraguay. Through Aunt Augusta, one of Greene's greatest comic creations, Henry joins a shiftless, twilight society; mixes with hippies, war criminals, and CIA men; smokes pot; and breaks all currency regulations.
Originally published in 1970, Travels with My Aunt gives us an intoxicating entertainment yet also confronts us with some of the most perplexing of human dilemmas.

Where Eagles Dareby Alistair MacLeanISBN 1560254556 (1-56025-455-6)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Where Eagles Dare'Book summary:Forbidding peaks, resourceful commandos, beautiful spies, nonstop action, and neck-snapping plot twists make this the classic adventure thrillerthe kind of page-turner that readers actually will find impossible to put down. A team of British Special Forces commandos parachutes into the high peaks of the Austrian Alps with the mission of stealing into an invulnerable alpine castleaccessible only by aerial gondolathe headquarters of Nazi intelligence. Supposedly sent in to rescue one of their own, their real mission turns out to be a lot more complicatedand the tension climbs as team members start to die off, one by one. Written by Alistair Maclean, author of the Guns of Navarone, this is the novel that set the pace for the modern action thriller (the film version, with Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood, also helped), and it still packs twice the punch of most contemporary best-selling thrillers. What's more, the cast of spooks, turncoats, and commandos who drive this story are more relevant than ever in our new era of special forces, black ops, and unpredictable alliances.[via]More editions of Where Eagles Dare:
