New York, New York, U. S. A.: Cliff Street Books. New in New dust jacket. 2001. First Edition. Hardcover. In the tradition of classic screwball comedies and with a flair for modern-day irony, As Long As She Needs Me is a masterful satire of the publishing industry, a romp through the wedding industry, and a sparkling fable of love and luck in Manhattan. Juggling monster agents and mega-authors, passed hors-d'oeuvre options and centerpiece styles, Oscar labors to pull together his boss's wedding without falling apart in the process. Help arrives in the form of a popular wedding columnist, with whom Oscar strikes a bargain: His editorial expertise for her nuptial advice. As the two work together to manufacture the romances of others, they stumble into one themselves - a development that soon has Oscar secretly planning an event of his own. Hilarious and wise, literate and charming. 245 pages. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. .

Out there on the high plains, among the Sioux reservations and the silent buttes, among the small towns dying and the people with them, you can hear the wind. And on the back of the wind is the sound of an old accordian - tangos - mingling with the lonely thump of a single cry. To this, to a town called Salamander comes Carlisle McMillan, a traveler and master carpenter seeking a place of quiet amid the grinding roar of progress. He finds two very different, independent women. The women and his carpenter's trade and an old Indian known as Flute Player bring Carlisle a sense of contentment for a while. But his quiet is shattered as bulldozer treads begin to turn and the Yerkes Country War commences. Robert James Waller's fully imagined characters become people we know and care for deeply.

Description:
Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. New in New dust jacket. 1999. First Edition. Hardcover. Written 150 years ago, never published and assumed lost for nearly a century, Wilkie Collin's earliest novel now appears in print for the first time. Iolani is a sensational romance - a tale of terror and suspense, bravery and betrayal, set against the lush backdrop of Tahiti. The book's complicated history is worthy of a writer famous for intricate plots hinging on long-kept secrets. Collins wrote the book as a young man in the early 1840s, twenty years before The Moonstone and The Woman in White. Unable to find a publisher for the work, he shelved the manuscript for years, and eventually gave it to an acquaintance. It gained mythical status as a lost novel - from the turn of the century until its sudden appearance on the rare book market in 1991. This first edition appears with the permission of the new owners, who keep the mystery alive by remaining anonymous. Explanatory notes and…
