Presumed First Issuance thus. Bookmark. Very good. Format is approximately 7 inches by 2 inches. Front of the bookmark advertises All in the Family by Ann Jeffries, Featuring Two Novellas: "When You Know" and "Dedicated to Duty." The back of the bookmark contains a picture of the author, and pictures of three other books by Ann Jeffries--An Ulterior Motive, Bittersweet Memories, and Sweet Justice. Ann Jeffries, the critically acclaimed author of the Family Reunion: Wisdom of the Ancestors series is a native of Washington, D. C. As an only child, she enjoyed the benefits of a private school education at Allen in Asheville, NC, and a public education at the University of Maryland. Ann began writing fiction for her own amusement. Ms. Jeffries is the recipient of many awards for leadership and public service. As a keynote speaker at colleges and universities, conferences, and conventions, she has extensively traveled the North American continent, Asia, and Europe. Among other endeavors, she is an entrepreneur, an avid supporter of public television, and a genealogist. IT'S ALL IN THE FAMILY---WHEN YOU KNOW it's right, you don't let anything stand in your way. That's what Tucker Cavanaugh thought on the bright fall day when a vision of loveliness moving like a graceful gazelle crossed his path on the university campus. Abandoning his friends, he gave chase only to lose her in the crowd of students and professors. Still, he pledged to find her again and when he did, he wouldn't let her slip away. When the young, handsome US Marine medical student approached her, Whitney Ivy Alexander, a law school student, wasn't looking her best. Yet, one look into Tucker's handsome face, she knew what they would be together was completely right for the both of them. Still, could their interracial romance withstand the challenges they faced? DEDICATED TO DUTY is Commander Helen Marlowe's mantra. Her Code Name: Helen of Troy or HOT as her counterparts and pals chose to call her. Not because of the temperature or her disposition, but because of her extraordinarily attractive physical features. Assets her camouflage battle dress uniform fatigues, Cammy hat, and aviator shades failed to disguise. No matter how much activity surrounded her, that wickedly handsome man, whose face and physique had been created by the gods on a particularly good day, was stuck in her head, preventing her from operating at full capacity. Independently wealthy US Air Force jet fighter pilot Captain Shawn Baxter Rodgers, Code Name: Hot Rod, stood over six-four with the body of an Adonis, clever hands, and a grin on his too-handsome face that promised endless acts of naughtiness. Shawn's and Helen's weekend R&R to Las Vegas produced a daughter Helen had never seen before she disappeared from his life. Shawn was raising their daughter alone, but vowed he'd find the love of his life to make them a family. Could the life he wanted to offer Helen shake her commitment to her secret agent life? Abookmarkis a thin marker, commonly made ofcard,leather, orfabric, used to keep a reader's place in abookand to enable them to easily return to it. According to new results of the research done on the history of bookmarks, there are indications that bookmarks have accompanied codices since their first emergence in the 1st century AD. The earliest existing bookmark dates from the 6th century AD and it is made of ornamented leather lined with vellum on the back and was attached with a leather strap to the cover of a Coptic codex. Bookmarks were used throughout the medieval period,consisting usually of a small parchment strip attached to the edge offolio(or a piece of cord attached to headband). The first detached, and therefore collectible, bookmarkers began to appear in the 1850s. One of the first references to these is found in Mary Russell Mitford'sRecollections of a Literary Life(1852. Historical bookmarks can be very valuable, and are sometimes collected along with other paperephemera. By the 1860s, attractive machine-woven markers were being manufactured. One of the earliest was produced by J.&J. Cash to mark thedeathofAlbert, Prince Consort, in 1861. Thomas Stevens of Coventry soon became preeminent in the field and claimed to have nine hundred different designs. Woven silk bookmarks were very appreciated gifts in theVictorian Eraand Stevens seemed to make one for every occasion and celebration. By the 1880s the production of woven silk markers was declining, and printed markers made of stiff paper or cardboard began to appear in significant numbers. This development paralleled the wider availability of books themselves, and the range of available bookmarkers soon expanded dramatically. Modern bookmarks are available in a huge variety of materials in a multitude of designs and styles. Many are made of cardboard or heavy paper, but they are also constructed of paper, ribbon, fabric, felt, steel, wire, tin, beads, wood, plastic, vinyl, silver, gold, and other precious metals, some decorated with gemstones., 3, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2006 xxxvi, 476 pages; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "Roger Ebert has been writing film reviews for the Chicago Sun-Times for nearly forty years. And during those four decades, his wide knowledge, keen judgment, prodigious energy, and sharp sense of humor have made him America’s most celebrated film critic. He was the first such critic to win a Pulitzer Prize--one of just three film critics ever to receive that honor--and the only one to have a star dedicated to him on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His groundbreaking hit TV show, At the Movies, meanwhile, has made'two thumbs up' one of the most coveted hallmarks in the entire industry. No critic alive has reviewed more movies than Roger Ebert, and yet his essential writings have never been collected in a single volum--—until now. With Awake in the Dark, both fans and film buffs can finally bask in the best of Ebert’s work. The reviews, interviews, and essays collected here present a picture of this indispensable critic's numerous contributions to the cinema and cinephilia. From The Godfather to GoodFellas, from Cries and Whispers to Crash, the reviews in Awake in the Dark span some of the most exceptional periods in film history, from the dramatic rise of rebel Hollywood and the heyday of the auteur, to the triumph of blockbuster films such as Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, to the indie revolution that is still with us today. The extraordinary interviews gathered in Awake in the Dark capture Ebert engaging not only some of the most influential directors of our time--Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, Robert Altman, Werner Herzog, and Ingmar Bergman--but also some of the silver screen's most respected and dynamic personalities, including actors as diverse as Robert Mitchum, James Stewart, Warren Beatty, and Meryl Streep. Ebert’s remarkable essays play a significant part in Awake in the Dark as well. The book contains some of Ebert's most admired pieces, among them a moving appreciation of John Cassavetes and a loving tribute to the virtues of black-and-white films. If Pauline Kael and Andrew Sarris were godmother and godfather to the movie generation, then Ebert is its voice from within--a writer whose exceptional intelligence and daily bursts of insight and enthusiasm have shaped the way we think about the movies. Awake in the Dark, therefore, will be a treasure trove not just for fans of this seminal critic, but for anyone desiring a fascinating and compulsively readable chronicle of film since the late 1960s. / Roger Ebert is the Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times and has cohosted a weekly movie review program on television since 1975, first with Gene Siskel, and since 2000 with Richard Roeper. He is the author of numerous books on film, including The Great Movies, The Great Movies II, and Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbook." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Like many of the innovative publishing concepts Harlequin has launched over the years, the idea for the Tyler series originated in response to our readers' preferences. Your enthusiasm for sequels and continuing characters within many of the Harlequin lines has prompted us to create a twelve-book series of individual romances whose characters' lives inevitably intertwine. Tyler faces many challenges typical of small towns, but the fabric of this fictional community will be torn by the revelation of a long-ago murder, the details of which will evolve right through the series. This intriguing crime will profoundly affect the lives of the Ingallses, the Barons, the Forresters and the Wochecks. Renovations have begun on the old Timberlake resort lodge as the series opens, and the lodge will also attract the attention of a prominent Chicago hotelier, a man with a personal interest in showing Tyler folks his financial clout. Marge is waiting with some home-baked pie at her diner, and policeman Brick Bauer might direct you down Elm Street if it's patriarch Judson Ingalls you're after. The Kelseys run the loveliest boardinghouse in town, and you'll find everything you need at Gates Department Store. When spitfire Liza Baron returns to town, the fireworks begin. So join us in Tyler, once a month, for the next twelve months, for a slice of small-town life that's not as innocent or as quiet as you might expect, and for a sense of community that will capture your mind and your heart. Marsha Zinberg, Editorial Coordinator, Tyler. WELCOME TO TYLER, AMERICA'S FAVORITE HOMETOWN Each book set in Tyler is a self-contained story; together, they stitch the fabric of a community. 1.

SYNOPSIS: "The witnesses standing at the edge of the field were staring in horrified silence, too stunned to speak. The scene that lay before them was grotesque, a primeval nightmare . . . " So begins The Doomsday Conspiracy, Sidney Sheldon's eleventh novel and one that has been called his most ingenious and surprising. Navy Commander Robert Bellamy is assigned to investigate the crash of a weather balloon in the Swiss Alps. All witnesses to the accident must be found and questioned. However, for Bellamy it is the beginning of a journey of terror into the incomprehensible. From Washington to London, Zurich, Rome, and Paris the story unfolds to reveal Bellamy's past - why the woman he loves most cannot return his love, why his friends become his deadly enemies, and why the world must never learn an incredible secret shielded by an unknown lethal force. Master of the unexpected. Master of the game. Best-selling author Sidney Sheldon has created The Doomsday Conspiracy, a tightly plotted, breathlessly paced thriller - and compelling love story - that confirms his best-selling status. Sidney Sheldon is the author of The Other Side of Midnight, A Stranger in the Mirror, Bloodline, Rage of Angels, Master of the Game, If Tomorrow Comes, Windmills of the Gods, The Sands of Time, and Memories of Midnight, all international best sellers. His first book, The Naked Face, was acclaimed by The New York Times as the "best first mystery of the year." Sheldon won a Tony Award for Broadway's Redhead and an Academy Award for The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. He wrote the screenplays for twenty-three motion pictures, including Easter Parade (with Judy Garland) and Annie Get Your Gun. He created four long-running television series, including Hart to Hart and I Dream of Jeannie, which he also produced.. First Edition 1st Printing. Hard Cover.

For over a hundred years,Lewis Carroll's classic story of logic and lunacy has delighted young and old alike,with many outstanding artists turning their hand to its illustration.Here,at last,is Helen Oxenbury's interpretation,which bears all of the special qualities that make her picture books so well-loved.Indeed,though unabridged,this is more abundantly illustrated,more of a picture book,than previous editions of the story.One snowy winter's afternoon,Alice climbs through the mirror above her drawing-room fireplace,into a back-to-front,topsy-turvy world where flowers talk, chess pieces walk and the faster you run the more you end up in the sameplace.As she wanders through this strange,astonishing land,Alice encounters a host of favourite childhood characters, each clamouring to be rediscovered and given new life by award-winning illustrator Helen Oxenbury.Wonder at Tweedledum and Tweedledee,laugh at the Walrus and the Carpenter,cower from the Lion and the Unicorn,ponder the Jabberwock,and beware the proud Humpty Dumpty and snappish Red Queen.Sequel to classic 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' published six years earlier by Carroll - which Oxenbury has also illustrated (see my book ID rja547515 and was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal,the same title also winning the Kurt Maschler Award too.Marvellous story or meaningful text,'Alice Through the Looking-Glass' has long captivated readers of all ages.Satirical,witty and irreverent,it pokes fun at authority and mocks traditional education in a way that appeals to children of any era.

In 2015, former England football star Rio Ferdinand suddenly and tragically lost his wife and soulmate Rebecca,aged 34, to cancer. It was a profound shock and Rio found himself struggling to cope not just with the pain of his grief,but also with his new role as both mum and dad to their three young children. Rio's BBC1 documentary,Being Mum and Dad,touched everyone who watched it and won huge praise for the honesty and bravery he showed in talking about his emotions and experiences. His book now shares the story of meeting, marrying and losing Rebecca,his own and the family's grief - as well as the advice and support that get him through each day as they strive to piece themselves back together. 'Thinking Out Loud' is written in the hope that he can inspire others struggling with loss and grief to find the help they need through this most difficult of times. Rio Ferdinandis a former England footballer who also played football for Manchester United during Sir Alex Ferguson's time as manager.Rio played 81 times for England and in 3 World Cups,and is one of the most decorated footballers of all time. He had his first son with Rebecca in 2006 and they married in 2009, going on to have two more children before her death in May 2015 from cancer. Rio is now a TV football pundit for BT Sport and as well as his BBC documentary on bereavement,'Being Mum and Dad', has made a short Heads Together charity film with Prince Harry on mental health.He is also working alongside Child Bereavement and Jigsaw.

In 1964,with Beatlemania rampant,John Lennon suddenly revealed another side of the rock & roll star - literary man.His first book,'In His Own Write' was published,followed a year later by 'A Spaniard in the Works'.Replete with fantasy mayhem,solecistic spellings,and imagery that reminded the critics of Edward Lear and suggested untapped lyrical possibilities,both were huge international bestsellers. 'SKYWRITING BY WORD OF MOUTH' is a collection of Lennon's fiction and non-fiction,illustrated by his own drawings,written between 1968 and 1979 and never before published.The fiction is a parody of every kind of writing,with all the wit and literary swiftness,the playfulness,the iconoclasm,the sexual explicitness and the sheer vitality that made the earlier books such a joy to read.In 'The Ballad of John and Yoko',Lennon reflects upon his first meeting with Yoko,the break-up of the Beatles,his persecution by the US and UK authorities and his adventures with the American underground. Completing this collection are 'An Alphabet' and 'Two Virgins',the latter written in 1968,when the public discovered that John and Yoko were living together as man and wife. Masterful and haunting,'SKYWRITING BY WORD OF MOUTH' takes us inside the brilliant creative mind of one of the most remarkable artists of our time.

A swimming gorilla,a test-tube of mustard gas and a lost nose,along with storm force winds and shipwrecks,have all played their part in Roger Nowell's thirty years at sea.As the skipper of the trawler William Sampson Stevenson from Newlyn in Cornwall,Roger's roguish attitudes have brought him to the edge of the law on many occasions,while his seamanship has earned the respect of fellow skippers throughout the country.In this log,he describes the adventures,accidents and emotions encountered during one year of fishing,along with anecdotes drawn from a lifetime at sea.It's the gritty truth about a tough life,an insight into how dangers,boredom and humour bind together a small group of men who spend much more of their lives on board ship than they do at home,and how their families ashore cope with the strains.The year Roger records saw major changes in the industry,with unresolved threats to fishermen's livelihoods from new regulations,accidents in overcrowded waters and more and more fishermen chasing dwindling numbers of fish.But in spite of the uncertainties and dangers - and the job of a fisherman is more than twenty times as dangerous as that of a coalminer - what emerges is a portrait of a man with a great zest for life,who loves the freedom,the excitement and the laughs.'The Skipper' is the nearest you'll get to the story of a modern-day buccaneer.After reading this book you'll treat your next plateful of fish and chips with new respect.The book accompanied the BBC TV series of the same name.

SYNOPSIS: This book is for film makers, of course, and for critics and teachers and students of the film. It is also for fans, whose enthusiasm for star or story may actually be related to deeper sources of satisfaction in the art of the film. The theories conflict. Those who love movies should not be upset by the fact that there seem to be deep contradictions in these 39 articles. What kind of aesthetic theory can reconcile realism and fantasy, entertainment and education, mysteries and musicals, slapstick and spectacle? There can no more be a final theory of film than there can be a definitive theory of what to put in a book. The storm over style and content in the film will rage forever, for theory should open up debate and controversy, leading in turn to new theory, or to experiment and action. Here is a sampling of the contents: Sergei Eisenstein: Collision of Ideas; Dudley Nichols: The Writer and the Film; Rudolf Arnheim: Epic and Dramatic Film; Ingmar Bergman: Film Has Nothing To Do With Literature; Bela Balazs: The Faces of Men; Mack Sennett: Cloud - Cuckoo Country; Arnold Hauser: Space and Time in the Film; John Grierson: First Principles of Documentary; Siegfried Kracauer: Theory of Film; Michael Roemer: The Surfaces of Reality; Carl Dreyer: Thoughts on My Craft; Stan VanDerBeek: Compound Entendre; Jonas Mekas: Notes on the New American Cinema; Pauline Kael: Are Movies Going to Pieces?; Frederico Fellini: The Road Beyond Neorealism. Richard Dyer MacCann was born in Wichita, Kansas, in 1920, and attended the University of Kansas, where he received his B.A. in Political Science in 1940. After an M.A. at Stanford University in 1942 and three-years' service in the U.S. and Europe during World War II, he completed a Ph.D. in Government at Harvard in 1951. His dissertation, Documentary Film and Democratic Government, led him to a growing concern about communication and public opinion in the democratic process and to a special interest in the motion picture. He accepted a position as a staff correspondent in Los Angeles for the Christian Science Monitor, specializing in film and television reporting from 1951 to 1957. As Assistant Professor of Cinema at the University of Southern California from 1957 to 1962, he continued a weekly Hollywood column for the Monitor for three years, while teaching courses in documentary film, film writing, and cinema and society. In 1963, Dr. MacCann was an adviser and teacher, on a U.S. State Department grant, for the Korean National Film Production Center in Seoul. The following year he was a producer in the program department of Subscription Television, Inc., in Santa Monica, California. From 1965-70 Dr. MacCann taught at the University of Kansas, where he was Professor of Speech and Journalism and Director of the Center for Film Studies. In 1970 he joined the faculty of the University of Iowa as professor in charge of the Ph.D. program in film in the Department of Speech and Dramatic Art. He is a member of the University Film Association, the Writers Guild of America, and Phi Beta Kappa. Dr. MacCann is editor of Cinema Journal, the semi-annual publication of the national Society for Cinema Studies. His articles have appeared in Yale Review, Film Quarterly, Films and Filming, and Encyclopedia Americana. He is also the author of Hollywood in Transition (1962) and Film and Society (1964)..

The heart-stopping new Dr. Kay Scarpetta thriller from America's #1-bestselling crime writer. Dr. Kay Scarpetta, now freelancing from south Florida, returns to the city that turned its back on her five years ago. In Trace , Scarpetta travels to Richmond, Virginia, at the odd behest of the recently appointed Chief Medical Examiner, who claims that he needs her help to solve a perplexing crime. When she arrives, however, Scarpetta finds that nothing is as she expected: her former lab is in the final stages of demolition; the inept chief isn't the one who requested her after all; her old assistant chief has developed personal problems that he won't reveal; and a glamorous FBI agent, whom Marino dislikes instantly, meddles with the case. Deprived of assistance from colleagues Benton and Lucy, who are embroiled in what first appears to be an unrelated attempted rape by a stalker, Scarpetta is faced with investigating the death of a fourteen-year-old girl, working with the smallest pieces of evidence-traces that only the most thorough hunters can identify. She must follow the twisting leads and track the strange details in order to make the dead speak-and to reveal the sad truth that may be more than even she can bear. ., Books On Tape, 2004, 5<

Ann Jeffries, the critically acclaimed author of the Family Reunion: Wisdom of the Ancestors series is a native of Washington, D. C. As an only child, she enjoyed the benefits of a private school education at Allen in Asheville, NC, and a public education at the University of Maryland. Ann began writing fiction for her own amusement. Ms. Jeffries is the recipient of many awards for leadership and public service. As a keynote speaker at colleges and universities, conferences, and conventions, she has extensively traveled the North American continent, Asia, and Europe. Among other endeavors, she is an entrepreneur, an avid supporter of public television, and a genealogist. IT'S ALL IN THE FAMILY---WHEN YOU KNOW it's right, you don't let anything stand in your way. That's what Tucker Cavanaugh thought on the bright fall day when a vision of loveliness moving like a graceful gazelle crossed his path on the university campus. Abandoning his friends, he gave chase only to lose her in the crowd of students and professors. Still, he pledged to find her again and when he did, he wouldn't let her slip away. When the young, handsome US Marine medical student approached her, Whitney Ivy Alexander, a law school student, wasn't looking her best. Yet, one look into Tucker's handsome face, she knew what they would be together was completely right for the both of them. Still, could their interracial romance withstand the challenges they faced? DEDICATED TO DUTY is Commander Helen Marlowe's mantra. Her Code Name: Helen of Troy or HOT as her counterparts and pals chose to call her. Not because of the temperature or her disposition, but because of her extraordinarily attractive physical features. Assets her camouflage battle dress uniform fatigues, Cammy hat, and aviator shades failed to disguise. No matter how much activity surrounded her, that wickedly handsome man, whose face and physique had been created by the gods on a particularly good day, was stuck in her head, preventing her from operating at full capacity. Independently wealthy US Air Force jet fighter pilot Captain Shawn Baxter Rodgers, Code Name: Hot Rod, stood over six-four with the body of an Adonis, clever hands, and a grin on his too-handsome face that promised endless acts of naughtiness. Shawn's and Helen's weekend R&R to Las Vegas produced a daughter Helen had never seen before she disappeared from his life. Shawn was raising their daughter alone, but vowed he'd find the love of his life to make them a family. Could the life he wanted to offer Helen shake her commitment to her secret agent life? Abookmarkis a thin marker, commonly made ofcard,leather, orfabric, used to keep a reader's place in abookand to enable them to easily return to it. According to new results of the research done on the history of bookmarks, there are indications that bookmarks have accompanied codices since their first emergence in the 1st century AD. The earliest existing bookmark dates from the 6th century AD and it is made of ornamented leather lined with vellum on the back and was attached with a leather strap to the cover of a Coptic codex. Bookmarks were used throughout the medieval period,consisting usually of a small parchment strip attached to the edge offolio(or a piece of cord attached to headband). The first detached, and therefore collectible, bookmarkers began to appear in the 1850s. One of the first references to these is found in Mary Russell Mitford'sRecollections of a Literary Life(1852. Historical bookmarks can be very valuable, and are sometimes collected along with other paperephemera. By the 1860s, attractive machine-woven markers were being manufactured. One of the earliest was produced by J.&J. Cash to mark thedeathofAlbert, Prince Consort, in 1861. Thomas Stevens of Coventry soon became preeminent in the field and claimed to have nine hundred different designs. Woven silk bookmarks were very appreciated gifts in theVictorian Eraand Stevens seemed to make one for every occasion and celebration. By the 1880s the production of woven silk markers was declining, and printed markers made of stiff paper or cardboard began to appear in significant numbers. This development paralleled the wider availability of books themselves, and the range of available bookmarkers soon expanded dramatically. Modern bookmarks are available in a huge variety of materials in a multitude of designs and styles. Many are made of cardboard or heavy paper, but they are also constructed of paper, ribbon, fabric, felt, steel, wire, tin, beads, wood, plastic, vinyl, silver, gold, and other precious metals, some decorated with gemstones., 3, New York, NY, U.S.A.: Random House, Inc., 1997.

Like many of the innovative publishing concepts Harlequin has launched over the years, the idea for the Tyler series originated in response to our readers' preferences. Your enthusiasm for sequels and continuing characters within many of the Harlequin lines has prompted us to create a twelve-book series of individual romances whose characters' lives inevitably intertwine. Tyler faces many challenges typical of small towns, but the fabric of this fictional community will be torn by the revelation of a long-ago murder, the details of which will evolve right through the series. This intriguing crime will profoundly affect the lives of the Ingallses, the Barons, the Forresters and the Wochecks. Renovations have begun on the old Timberlake resort lodge as the series opens, and the lodge will also attract the attention of a prominent Chicago hotelier, a man with a personal interest in showing Tyler folks his financial clout. Marge is waiting with some home-baked pie at her diner, and policeman Brick Bauer might direct you down Elm Street if it's patriarch Judson Ingalls you're after. The Kelseys run the loveliest boardinghouse in town, and you'll find everything you need at Gates Department Store. When spitfire Liza Baron returns to town, the fireworks begin. So join us in Tyler, once a month, for the next twelve months, for a slice of small-town life that's not as innocent or as quiet as you might expect, and for a sense of community that will capture your mind and your heart. Marsha Zinberg, Editorial Coordinator, Tyler. WELCOME TO TYLER, AMERICA'S FAVORITE HOMETOWN Each book set in Tyler is a self-contained story; together, they stitch the fabric of a community. 1.

Like many of the innovative publishing concepts Harlequin has launched over the years, the idea for the Tyler series originated in response to our readers' preferences. Your enthusiasm for sequels and continuing characters within many of the Harlequin lines has prompted us to create a twelve-book series of individual romances whose characters' lives inevitably intertwine. Tyler faces many challenges typical of small towns, but the fabric of this fictional community will be torn by the revelation of a long-ago murder, the details of which will evolve right through the series. This intriguing crime will profoundly affect the lives of the Ingallses, the Barons, the Forresters and the Wochecks. Renovations have begun on the old Timberlake resort lodge as the series opens, and the lodge will also attract the attention of a prominent Chicago hotelier, a man with a personal interest in showing Tyler folks his financial clout. Marge is waiting with some home-baked pie at her diner, and policeman Brick Bauer might direct you down Elm Street if it's patriarch Judson Ingalls you're after. The Kelseys run the loveliest boardinghouse in town, and you'll find everything you need at Gates Department Store. When spitfire Liza Baron returns to town, the fireworks begin. So join us in Tyler, once a month, for the next twelve months, for a slice of small-town life that's not as innocent or as quiet as you might expect, and for a sense of community that will capture your mind and your heart.

Dr. Kay Scarpetta, now freelancing from south Florida, returns to the city that turned its back on her five years ago. In Trace , Scarpetta travels to Richmond, Virginia, at the odd behest of the recently appointed Chief Medical Examiner, who claims that he needs her help to solve a perplexing crime.

Deprived of assistance from colleagues Benton and Lucy, who are embroiled in what first appears to be an unrelated attempted rape by a stalker, Scarpetta is faced with investigating the death of a fourteen-year-old girl, working with the smallest pieces of evidence-traces that only the most thorough hunters can identify. She must follow the twisting leads and track the strange details in order to make the dead speak-and to reveal the sad truth that may be more than even she can bear. ., Books On Tape, 2004, 5<

Presumed First Issuance thus. Bookmark. Very good. Format is approximately 7 inches by 2 inches. Front of the bookmark advertises All in the Family by Ann Jeffries, Featuring Two Novellas: "When You Know" and "Dedicated to Duty." The back of the bookmark contains a picture of the author, and pictures of three other books by Ann Jeffries--An Ulterior Motive, Bittersweet Memories, and Sweet Justice. Ann Jeffries, the critically acclaimed author of the Family Reunion: Wisdom of the Ancestors series is a native of Washington, D. C. As an only child, she enjoyed the benefits of a private school education at Allen in Asheville, NC, and a public education at the University of Maryland. Ann began writing fiction for her own amusement. Ms. Jeffries is the recipient of many awards for leadership and public service. As a keynote speaker at colleges and universities, conferences, and conventions, she has extensively traveled the North American continent, Asia, and Europe. Among other endeavors, she is an entrepreneur, an avid supporter of public television, and a genealogist. IT'S ALL IN THE FAMILY---WHEN YOU KNOW it's right, you don't let anything stand in your way. That's what Tucker Cavanaugh thought on the bright fall day when a vision of loveliness moving like a graceful gazelle crossed his path on the university campus. Abandoning his friends, he gave chase only to lose her in the crowd of students and professors. Still, he pledged to find her again and when he did, he wouldn't let her slip away. When the young, handsome US Marine medical student approached her, Whitney Ivy Alexander, a law school student, wasn't looking her best. Yet, one look into Tucker's handsome face, she knew what they would be together was completely right for the both of them. Still, could their interracial romance withstand the challenges they faced? DEDICATED TO DUTY is Commander Helen Marlowe's mantra. Her Code Name: Helen of Troy or HOT as her counterparts and pals chose to call her. Not because of the temperature or her disposition, but because of her extraordinarily attractive physical features. Assets her camouflage battle dress uniform fatigues, Cammy hat, and aviator shades failed to disguise. No matter how much activity surrounded her, that wickedly handsome man, whose face and physique had been created by the gods on a particularly good day, was stuck in her head, preventing her from operating at full capacity. Independently wealthy US Air Force jet fighter pilot Captain Shawn Baxter Rodgers, Code Name: Hot Rod, stood over six-four with the body of an Adonis, clever hands, and a grin on his too-handsome face that promised endless acts of naughtiness. Shawn's and Helen's weekend R&R to Las Vegas produced a daughter Helen had never seen before she disappeared from his life. Shawn was raising their daughter alone, but vowed he'd find the love of his life to make them a family. Could the life he wanted to offer Helen shake her commitment to her secret agent life? Abookmarkis a thin marker, commonly made ofcard,leather, orfabric, used to keep a reader's place in abookand to enable them to easily return to it. According to new results of the research done on the history of bookmarks, there are indications that bookmarks have accompanied codices since their first emergence in the 1st century AD. The earliest existing bookmark dates from the 6th century AD and it is made of ornamented leather lined with vellum on the back and was attached with a leather strap to the cover of a Coptic codex. Bookmarks were used throughout the medieval period,consisting usually of a small parchment strip attached to the edge offolio(or a piece of cord attached to headband). The first detached, and therefore collectible, bookmarkers began to appear in the 1850s. One of the first references to these is found in Mary Russell Mitford'sRecollections of a Literary Life(1852. Historical bookmarks can be very valuable, and are sometimes collected along with other paperephemera. By the 1860s, attractive machine-woven markers were being manufactured. One of the earliest was produced by J.&J. Cash to mark thedeathofAlbert, Prince Consort, in 1861. Thomas Stevens of Coventry soon became preeminent in the field and claimed to have nine hundred different designs. Woven silk bookmarks were very appreciated gifts in theVictorian Eraand Stevens seemed to make one for every occasion and celebration. By the 1880s the production of woven silk markers was declining, and printed markers made of stiff paper or cardboard began to appear in significant numbers. This development paralleled the wider availability of books themselves, and the range of available bookmarkers soon expanded dramatically. Modern bookmarks are available in a huge variety of materials in a multitude of designs and styles. Many are made of cardboard or heavy paper, but they are also constructed of paper, ribbon, fabric, felt, steel, wire, tin, beads, wood, plastic, vinyl, silver, gold, and other precious metals, some decorated with gemstones., 3, Boyars London 1st 1977 hdbk Also includes two radio plays: In the Country of the Skin and Three Pieces for Voices.
