Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Christopher Buckley's hilarious, bawdy, and irreverent frolic of a tale about a sixteenth-century relic hunter and the artist Albrecht D rer who conspire to fabricate Christ's burial shroud reads like Indiana Jones gone medieval (USA TODAY). The year is 1517. Dismas is a relic hunter who procures authentic religious relics for wealthy and influential clients. His two most important patrons are Frederick the Wise and soon-to-be Cardinal Albrecht of Mainz. While Frederick is drawn to the recent writing of Martin Luther, Albrecht pursues the financial and political benefits of religion and seeks to buy a cardinalship through the selling of indulgences. When Albrecht's demands for grander relics increase, Dismas and his artist friend D rer fabricate a shroud to sell to the unsuspecting noble. Unfortunately D rer's reckless pride exposes the trickery, so Albrecht puts Dismas and D rer in the custody of four mercenaries and sends them all to steal Christ's burial cloth (the Shroud of Chamb ry), Europe's most celebrated artifact. On their journey to Savoy where the Shroud will be displayed, they battle a lustful count and are joined by a beautiful female apothecary. It is only when they reach their destination they realize they are not alone in their intentions to acquire a relic of dubious legitimacy. A rollicking good time, Christopher Buckley has transported his signature wit and irreverence from the Beltway to sixteenth-century Europe in The Relic Master (GQ). This epic quest, as rascally and convivial as any that Mr. Buckley has written (The Wall Street Journal), is filled with fascinating details about art, religion, politics, and science; Vatican intrigue; and Buckley's signature wit holds the reader till the very last page (The New York Times Book Review).…

Hardback. Condición: Fair. President of the United States Donald Vanderdamp is having a hell of a time getting his nominees appointed to the Supreme Court. After one nominee is rejected for insufficiently appreciating To Kill A Mockingbird, the president chooses someone so beloved by voters that the Senate won't have the guts to reject her -- Judge Pepper Cartwright, the star of the nation's most popular reality show, Courtroom Six. Will Pepper, a straight-talking Texan, survive a confirmation battle in the Senate? Will becoming one of the most powerful women in the world ruin her love life? And even if she can make it to the Supreme Court, how will she get along with her eight highly skeptical colleagues, including a floundering Chief Justice who, after legalizing gay marriage, learns that his wife has left him for another woman. Soon, Pepper finds herself in the middle of a constitutional crisis, a presidential reelection campaign that the president is determined to lose, and oral arguments of a romantic nature. Supreme Courtship is another classic Christopher Buckley comedy about the Washington institutions most deserving of ridicule.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. BOMSDAY'S heroine is Cassandra Devine, a charismatic 29-year-old blogger who incites massive political turmoil when, outraged over mounting Social Security debt, she politely suggests that Baby Boomers be given government incentives to kill themselves by age 75. Her modest proposal catches fire with millions of her outraged peers (Generation Whatever) and an ambitious Senator seeking to gain the youth vote in his presidential campaign.
