Doyle, Shawn S. Grandpa's War
Renfrew ON General Store Publishing House 2009 1897508549 Paperback Near Fine
Only slight edge wear to pictorial card covers ; A bright, solid book. ; Trade PB; 0.5 x 8.9 x 5.9 Inches; 150 pages; This is an engaging account of the experiences of a Canadian air force navigator in World War II as told by his grandson. Shawn Doyle recorded his grandfather's stories and retraced many of his steps through Africa, Italy, and the Balkans, seeking a better understanding of the older man and of his generation. The author brings a fresh perspective to the global conflict that continues to live on in the memories -- both proud and painful -- of many of Canada's oldest war veterans. In the process, he tells a tale of youthful adventure and excitement in a time that, although not so long ago, is beginning to slip into the fog of history.

Drabble, Margaret THE WITCH OF EXMOOR
Toronto, ON McClelland & Stewart 1996 077102875x First Canadian Edition Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Unread, bump top of spine, remainder bottom page edges.; DJ in Mylar.; 276 pages; "Freda Haxby Palmer, author of the feminist classic The Matriarchy of War, was always more popular with her readers than with her own children. Her three offspring, now married and middle-aged, lead respectable lives, but Freda's behavior has gone from bad to worse. She lives like a hippie in a rundown seaside retreat in Exmoor. Her most recent book, a romance novel based on the life of Queen Christina, was universally panned. Lately, she has taken on the British tax code in the courts. But when Freda turns up missing, her estate suddenly seems more desirable. A movie producer has optioned her romance novel, and a sizable fortune may go to David D'Anger, M.P., her black son-in-law, to finance his utopian dream of creating a truly just society, an idea that makes the rest of the family cringe. This novel reexamines one of Drabble's favorite themes, the extent to which political idealism is a luxury of the privileged classes."

Dyer, Gwynne With Every Mistake

Only slight wear.; DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. ; 1.2 x 8.56 x 5.78 Inches; 432 pages; "This essential collection contains the best of Gwynne Dyer’s writing on the post–September 11 world. Since 1973, writer, historian and filmmaker Gwynne Dyer has written a widely syndicated newspaper column on international affairs, regularly published in 45 countries. 'With Every Mistake' is not only a collection of the very best of Dyer’s recent work, but an examination of how, time and again, the media skews fact and opinion, wielding formidable influence on how we all shape our own thoughts. And why is so much of the information wrong? Is it herd instinct, official manipulation, robber-baron owners with ideological obsessions — or just the conflict between the inherently bitty, short-term nature of news reporting and analysis and the longer perspectives needed to understand what is actually going on? How much misinformation stems from simple ignorance and laziness? 'With Every Mistake' combines an examination of how powerful owners mould the agendas of the press with a self-critique of Dyer’s own columns from the three and a half years between 9/11 and the January 2005 election in Iraq. How hard is it to get things right, and why do so many people in the media get things wrong?"

Edwardson, Ake; Laurie Thompson (translator) Never End
New York Viking Adult 2006 0670037664 First English Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Light wear to book and dust jacket ; DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. A bright, solid book ; Chief Inspector Erik Winter Novels; 1.4 x 9.1 x 6 Inches; 308 pages; "Detective Erik Winter is back, chasing a copycat murderer in a gritty procedural from one of Europe's most popular crime writers. Åke Edwardson is a European master of the stylish and gritty crime novel. In 'Never End', the second Erik Winter novel to be translated into English, a heat wave is smothering the Swedish coastal city of Gothenburg. School is out, and parks and beaches are teeming with people. But a spate of unsolved rape/murders casts a disturbing shadow on this particular summer. Chief Inspector Erik Winter, now forty-one and a father, assembles the scant but grisly details of the crimes, and begins to see an eerie connection to a five-year-old unsolved rape/murder, a case he, in typically obsessive fashion, has refused to let go cold. Has the same rapist reemerged to taunt the police and flaunt his stolen freedom, or are these copycat crimes? In the absence of any hard leads, and haunted by the case he could not solve, Winter desperately hunts for a link bridging the victims, convinced that each crime holds the key to the others. Someone knows more than they are letting on, and Winter knows they are running out of time. 'Never End' is a chilling, moody novel replete with Hitchcockian depictions of Gothenburg's vibrant summer spaces and seamy dark corners, that will appeal to readers of George Pelecanos and Elizabeth George."

Ellis, Peter Berresford The Celtic Empire The First Millennium of Celtic History : 1000 BC-51 AD
Durham NC Carolina Academic Press 1991 0890894574 Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket Illustrated by Color plates
Light edge wear, previous owner's stamp on back of map endpaper ; 0.9 x 9.5 x 6.3 Inches; 246 pages; Writing for the general reader, Peter Berresford Ellis provides a full survey of the rise of one of the greatest of Europe's ancient civilizations. He covers the first millennium of Celtic history up until the time of Christ when, for a period, the Celts dominated the ancient world - from Ireland in the west to Turkey in the east, from Belgium in the north, south to Spain and Italy. According to one ancient chronicler, they attempted a coup d'etat in the Egypt of the Ptolemy pharaohs. They sacked Rome and spread down the Iberian peninsula into northern Italy. They then moved eastward across to what is now Czechoslovakia, along the Danube valley as far as the Black Sea, and on into Asia Minor where they established the Galatian state in the third century BC. In Greece, the Celts destroyed every army the city-states could throw at them, their sophisticated weapons and sturdy war-chariots devastating all adversaries. These Celtic tribes were the first European people north of the Alps to emerge into recorded history. Their civilization, now 3,000 years old, may soon disappear for ever. In this account, Peter Berresford Ellis aims to accord the Celts their proper place in the historical tapestry of Europe.

Ellison, Ralph JUNETEENTH
New York Random House 1999 0394464575 First Edition Hardcover Fine in Very Good dust jacket
DJ in Mylar. Slight wear on DJ, unread. This is the long awaited novel published posthumously, a labor of love that was completed by John F. Callahan, Ellison's literary executor. "The narrative begins in 1950s Washington, D.C., with Adam Sunraider, a race-baiting senator who is gunned down on the Senate floor while a man named Hickman watches in the gallery. Rushed to the hospital, Sunraider requests Hickman's presence, and the story of the two men's agonized relationship is told in flashbacks as Hickman attends the dying senator. Decades before, Alonzo Hickman was an ex-trombone player turned circuit preacher raising a young boy of indeterminate race named Bliss.The boy assists Hickman in his revivals, rising out of a white coffin at a certain moment in the sermon. Bliss grows up to change his name to Adam Sunraider and, having passed for white, has gone from being a flimflam artist and movie maker to the U. S. Senate Always, however, he is in flight from Hickman. These flashbacks showcase Ellison's stylized set pieces, among the best scenes he has written, especially as his incandescent images chart the mysteries and legacies of slavery. Bliss remembers his courtship of a black woman in a piercingly sweet reverie, and he revisits a revival meeting on Juneteenth (June 19), the date in 1865 on which slaves in Texas were finally informed of the Emancipation Proclamation. The sermon in this section is perhaps the highlight of the novel, sure to achieve classic status on its own merits. The revival meeting is interrupted by a white woman who claims Bliss is her son, after which Bliss begins his odyssey for an identity that takes him, by degrees, away from the black culture of his youth. Gradually, we learn of the collusion of lies and violence that brought Bliss to Hickman in the first place."

Endo, Shusaku The Samurai
Toronto Lester & Orpen Dennys Publishers 1984 0886190363 First Canadian Edition Hardcover Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket
Short tape repaired top DJ, a little creasing, scuffing, light wear base of book spine ; A bright, solid book, DJ in Mylar ; International Fiction List #12; 272 pages; "In October 1613 four Japanese Samurai set sail for Mexico in a specially constructed galleon. They were accompanied by a Spanish priest who was to act as interpreter. The ostensible of this unprecedented mission was to bargain trading privileges with the West against the right for European missionaries to preach Christianity in Japan. Unable to achieve their purposes in Mexico, the envoys traveled on to Spain and Italy, to audiences with Philip III of Spain and Pope Paul IV, becoming some of the first Japanese ever to set foot in Europe." This actual incident is the basis of this novel which was originally published in Japan in 1980, translated by Van C. Gessel in 1982.

Errington, Jane The Lion, the Eagle, and Upper Canada: A Developing Colonial Ideology
Montreal McGill-Queen's University Press 1987 0773506039 First Edition Hardcover Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Only slight wear.; A bright, solid book, DJ in Mylar ; 0.95 x 9.32 x 5.92 Inches; 272 pages; "Errington argues that in order to appreciate the evolution of Upper Canadian beliefs, particularly the development of political ideology, it is necessary to understand the various and changing perceptions of the United States and of Great Britain held by different groups of colonial leaders. Colonial ideology inevitably evolved in response to changing domestic circumstances and to the colonists' knowledge of altering world affairs. It is clear, however, that from the arrival of the first loyalists in 1748 to the passage of the Naturalization Bill in 1828, the attitudes and beliefs of the Upper Canadian elite reflect the fact that the colony was a British- American community. Errington reveals that Upper Canada was never as anti-American as popular lore suggests, even in the midst of the War of 1812. By the mid 1820s, largely due to their conflicting views of Great Britain and the United States, Upper Canadians were irrevocably divided. The Tory administration argued that only by decreasing the influence of the United States, enforcing a conservative British mould on colonial society, and maintaining strong ties with the Empire could Upper Canada hope to survive. The forces of reform, on the other hand, asserted that Upper Canada was not and could not become a re-creation of Great Britain and that to deny its position in North America could only lead to internal dissent and eventual amalgamation with the United States. Errington's description of these early attempts to establish a unique Upper Canadian identity reveals the historical background of a dilemma which has yet to be resolved."

New York Mysterious Press 1995 0892965525 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Detroit Crime Series #4; Dust jacket in Mylar. Light wear, stamp on dedication page. Has-been Detroit journalist Connie Minor is hand-picked by Henry Ford II to create the promotional campaign for his top-secret brainchild-the Edsel. On the strength of his reputation for clever turns of phrase and keeping confidences, Minor is catapulted from a nothing job in a small ad house to a window office on mahogany row near the legendary Henry. He's scarcely settled in when he gets caught between Walter Reuther and a Communist-hunting local politician who blackmails him into tapping his old underworld contacts for leads on a plot to kill Reuther. Bouncing from the mob to the union to the boardroom, Minor not only uncovers the murder plan but a stealthy scheme to sabotage the Edsel as well. Would the car have bombed even if it hadn't looked so weird?
