The Woodlands TX: New Century Books, 2001. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 585 pages. INSCRIBED BY EDITOR to fellow publisher Paul Erikkson and his wife. The kidnapping of the first son of aviator Charles Lindbergh became the crime of the century and defined 'media circus.' As much as the world in the 1930's loved 'Lucky Lindy' for his flight from New York to Paris, so the world despised the kidnapper of the Lindbergh's child. Although the crime occurred in New Jersey, the FBI maintained complete files on the case, because ransom money crossed state lines. These are the complete, never-published, FBI files on the Lindbergh baby kidnapping. The files end with the single word PENDING, as the case was still in progress. This is time stopped in 1934.

There were adjustments—forcing water into hoses by jamming soda bottles and wood into nozzles with a sledgehammer—and then the fireboat's volunteer crew pumped much-needed water to the disaster site. The John J. Harvey proved she was still one of New York's Bravest!Maira Kalman brings a New York City icon to life, celebrating the energy, vitality and hope of a place and its people.

London: Hard Case Crime, 2017. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Paul Mann. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket featuring a retro-style illustration by Paul Mann. In the late 90s, the producers of the James Bond movies hired legendary crime novelist Donald E. Westlake to come up with a story for the next Bond film. The plot Westlake dreamed up—about a Western businessman seeking revenge after being kicked out of Hong Kong when the island was returned to Chinese rule—had all the elements of a classic Bond adventure, but political concerns kept it from being made. Never one to let a good story go to waste, Westlake wrote an original novel based on the premise instead—a novel he never published while he was alive. Hard Case Crime gives that novel its first publication ever, together with a brand new afterword by one of the movie producers describing the project’s genesis, and to give fans their first taste of the Westlake-scripted Bond that might have been.
