Hardback. Condición: Good. Eli Gottlieb, acclaimed author of Now You See Me, returns with a taut psychological thriller (Publishers Weekly) that pushes you down the stairs and never lets you get your feet back under you.

The Face Thief moves fluidly forward and back in time, drawing vivid portraits of Margot's rocky childhood and her adult victims: a newly married man, an esteemed teacher, and a well-meaning New York City cop.Ingeniously constructed and exquisitely written, The Face Thief swirls a hypnotic dance of predator and prey.

Paperback. Condición: Good. A Grief Like No Other is the book no one wants to ever have to buy; sadly, many people continue to need it. From 9/11 to Cindy Sheehan's son #150; from mass tragedies like the recent London bombings to Law and Order type crimes that make the news only to be replaced by another name. As such, more people are left with the aftermath of dealing with the violent death of a loved one. It brings its own special brand of grieving since victim's families can spend years dealing with legal ramifications, guilt, and a myriad of other circumstances that don't accompany "normal" deaths. Kathleen O'Hara knows both sides of this coin. As a therapist, she has counseled hundreds of people dealing with grief. As a mother, she saw her worst fears realized when her college-aged son was brutally murdered in 1999. In the aftermath of Aaron's murder, O'Hara developed the seven stage journey that is at the heart of A Grief Like No Other. Although this is a book for those left behind in the aftermath of violence, it offers concrete and practical steps and stages, allowing family and friends safe passage through this incredibly harrowing journey.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. First published in the early 1970s, Dr. Atomic's Marijuana Multiplier demonstrates the playfulness characteristic of those long gone times. Larry Todd's Dr. Atomic, a well-loved underground character, walks the reader through the process of turning low-grade weed into high-quality smoke. With today's advanced growing techniques and high-grade seeds, most indoor marijuana provides a powerful smoke without Dr. Atomic's stove-top process. Dr. Atomic's Marijuana Multi[lier is adult literature and not for children. The solvents used can be explosive and the reader is cautioned that it is offered as a historical novelty and archive of underground culture and not a recommended how-to process. Nonetheless, marijuana enthusiasts will find Dr. Atomic's amusing manual a unique addition to their library.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Winner of the Anne M. Sperber Prize A spirited and revealing memoir by the most celebrated editor of his time. After editing The Columbia Review, staging plays at Cambridge, and a stint in the greeting-card department of Macy's, Robert Gottlieb stumbled into a job at Simon and Schuster. By the time he left to run Alfred A. Knopf a dozen years later, he was the editor in chief, having discovered and edited Catch-22 and The American Way of Death, among other bestsellers. At Knopf, Gottlieb edited an astonishing list of authors, including Toni Morrison, John Cheever, Doris Lessing, John le Carré, Michael Crichton, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Graham, Robert Caro, Nora Ephron, and Bill Clinton--not to mention Bruno Bettelheim and Miss Piggy. In Avid Reader, Gottlieb writes with wit and candor about succeeding William Shawn as the editor of The New Yorker, and the challenges and satisfactions of running America's preeminent magazine. Sixty years after joining Simon and Schuster, Gottlieb is still at it--editing, anthologizing, and, to his surprise, writing. But this account of a life founded upon reading is about more than the arc of a singular career--one that also includes a lifelong involvement with the world of dance. It's about transcendent friendships and collaborations, "elective affinities" and family, psychoanalysis and Bakelite purses, the alchemical relationship between writer and editor, the glory days of publishing, and--always--the sheer exhilaration of work.…

Sexy and tart, dark and comic, low-down and high hearted, in poems such as Slash', 'Vamp', 'Bride of Reanimator' and the 'Babysitter', Gottlieb identifies and articulates the desires, fears and traumas out of which pop culture is made - and then feeds pop culture back to itself. Poems explore the ways in which we're betrayed by our cultural assumptions and fantasies about abduction, gender, literature and pleasure.'.…
