Bi-color boards/NF. DJ/NF; under library mylar. Clever ways to bring substitute teachers to their knees devised by spirited fourth-graders. Out of the mouth of babes: "You sink a sub when you make her cry ... You don't start out to do it. It just happens when a sub finds out it's the kids who are in control. Grown-ups sometimes can't take that. When they can't, usually they're sunk." The class of 4B, knowing they were in store for a substitute teacher, fall immediately into two camps along gender lines.

Most of Mortimer's much-loved stories about UK's favorite fictional barrister, Horace Rumpole, are short stories. This is one of the two novels and in it Rumpole's anger is stirred by ASBOs (a new law creating Anti-Social Behavior Orders). Rumpole finds himself defending a young boy who dared to play soccer in an upper class street, drawing complaints from neighbors and an ASBO. A second ASBO can mean jail without a trial. While Rumpole's fellow lawyers are urging an ASBO for Rumpole himself -- his small cigars are contributing to global warming -- to illustrate the law's absurdity, Rumpole has discovered links between the boy's case, a prostitute's murder and government corruption. Spine ends are lightly bumped, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket shows only a touch of edgewear and some minor soiling on the back panel. No tears, no creasing or chipping, not price-clipped. Collectable., Viking Penguin, 2007, 4, London England: Macmillan & Co, 2007. Hardback First edition price clipped. Illlustrated two tiny closed tears on edge of D/J spine. Ronnie Wood is one of rock's true originals. This is his story, in his own words, about his life, loves, family, friends, music, art and survival against the odds. It's a roller-coaster ride of unbelievable highs and unimaginable lows, From a small boy growing up on a working class council estate not far from Heathrow Airport who wanted to play music and paint - the first generation of his 'water gypsy' family to be born on dry land - to becoming one of the most famous musicians in the world, Ronnie Wood toured the world with his Rolling Stone bandmates - Mick, Keith, Charlie and, for a while, Bill. And the five of them have, arguably, been seen in person by more people on this planet than anyone else in the history of mankind. But as mayhem and hysteria invariably followed on Ronnie's adventure through the excesses of rock 'n roll, the drugs got harder and his relationships - especially with Mick, Keith, various women and his family - became increasingly more complex. This is Ronnie the husband, father, grandfather and rock star the way you have never seen any rock star before. Ronnie is an up-front and personal look at life as a Rolling Stone, from the inside, and at the Stones as the rest of the world has never seen them. After Ronnie, drugs, sex and rock 'n roll will never be the same again.ISBN 13: 9780330445047 Ronnie by Ronnie Wood Ronnie Wood is one of rock's true originals.

Open Road Media, 2015. Used. From the New York Times bestselling author of Our Crowd: A novel of a powerful family, a cosmetics empire, and the dark secrets that could destroy both. Mireille Mimi Myerson took her grandfathers struggling cosmetics company and turned it into an empire. But suddenly, as she prepares to launch a new perfume line, Mimi is faced with hidden threats at every turn. Her efforts to further expand the enormously successful Miray Corporation could be sabotaged from within by her own treacherous family, for there is a dangerous rot beneath the surface of the wealthy and aristocratic Magnificent Myersons: a dark tradition of lies, sexual perversity, and criminal activity that could undermine everything Mimi hopes to accomplish. With the discovery of her husbands affair and the return of real estate magnate Michael Horowitz, her first and most enduring love, Mimi must determine whom she can trust especially in light of the shocking revelations that are about to emerge regarding the birth of the Miray Corporation. In both his bestselling nonFiction (Our Crowd, The Right People) and Fiction (Carriage Trade, The Auerbach Will) author Stephen Birmingham has demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of the ways of Americas extremely rich. This unique knowledge comes into glorious play in his blistering novel Shades of Fortune, a thrilling and unforgettable breakneck ride through the darkest passageways of wealth and success., Open Road Media, 2015, 0, London England: Macmillan & Co, 2007.
