Pulp fiction blow out

You can own this classic in the crime novel genre for only $3. I highly recommend this landmark crime novel.
This late '70's crime novel can be had for $3 also. It's a little long but still it's a sizzling good read.

Fiction, then and now

This is one of Douglas Coupland's, the writer who coined the phrase 'generation X,' newer works of fiction. It's in fine shape and it can be had for only $12. Make your Canadian friends happy, buy this book.

This period mystery is a steal at $5. Don't be caught dead with out it.





Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it

Here's a trio of history books for your perusal:
Tightly written concise history of the Celtic peoples. Our understanding of them has increased since the publication of this book but it's still a good read if you're into history. Who am I kidding> It's a good read period. And it can be yours for $9.


This sweeping book about one of the fascinating figures in English can be yours for $5. It's a trade paperback and it's in excellent condition.

This engaging and eye opening account of one of the forgotten females of history would make a fine addition to your library. I highly recommend this book. It's in mint condition and it's only $9.

For the arm chair traveller:

There's a laugh on every page of this parody travel guide. It's very well done and the level of jokes only flags a bit here and there. It's a fun funny book and you can buy it for $5.

With this book Mr. Horowitz has conjured up one of the best travel essay books ever written in my humble opinion. The subtitle tells you all you need to know, it's a fascinating account of his journeys in the footsteps of the great seafarer Captain Cook. Horowitz alternates chapters between his account of what modern times have done to the places cook lived in and sailed to and the history of Cook in those far flung destinations. You'll gain a whole new appreciation for what Captain Cook did in his eventful life after reading this well written highly entertaining book. Snap this one up for $10.


Fiction from some comtemporary masters

I'm offering this Joyce Carol Oates novel about Norma Jean/Marilyn Monroe for $12. It's in great shape and I'm sure it's a stellar read.
Oy vey, what library would be complete without a Saul Bellow short story collection? You can get this one for $5.



Find out what it was like before it all melts

I read and loved this very entertaining book:I found out more about the arctic than I ever knew before and I found that this book not only stayed with me months after I read it, it resonates with me still. You can have this trade paperback for only $5. I promise you it's a great read and one day soon it's going to be looked at as one of the classics of the natural history genre.
