Passell, Peter
The Best New York, New York, U.S.A. Viking Pr 1987 0670813230 Hardcover Very Good Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall
The best German beer is brewed in Munich, right? Nope, Dortmund. In this sequel to his 1975 bestseller of the same namea directory of excellence in various categoriesNew York Times editorial writer Passell offers dozens of original items, applying his superlatives this time to the new world of VCRs, SLRs, PCs and world-class shiny-helmet bicycle riding. Alphabetically from A to Z (well, W for Wine Cooler, actually), Passell, in friendly bubbling style, rates automobiles (Hyundai, $6000; Bentley, $90,000; et al.) and appraises such essentials as bone-marrow transplants and Grand Canyon river trips, along with items like peanut butter, ice cream and the original Toll House (chocolate chip) cookie. Fun? You bet. One also learns the best way to win in a lottery, is given the best prediction on a West Coast earthquake ("a doozy") and the word on the University of California at Berkeley, which is now, mirabile dictu, the best buy for capitalists-in-training. 077139

Patterson, Daniel
Arts in Earnest: North Carolina Folklife Durham, North Carolina, U.S.A. Duke Univ Pr 1989 082231021X Soft Cover Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall
Some highlights through the book. Arts in Earnest explores the unique folklife of North Carolina from ruddy ducks to pranks in the mill. Traversing from Murphy to Manteo, these fifteen essays demonstrate the importance of North Carolina’s continually changing folklife. From decoy carving along the coast, to the music of tobacco chants and the blues of the Piedmont, to the Jack tales of the mountains, Arts in Earnest reflects the story of a people negotiating their rapidly changing social and economic environment. Personal interviews are an important element in the book. Laura Lee, an elderly black woman from Chatham County, describes the quilts she made from funeral flower ribbons; witnesses and friends each remember varying details of the Duke University football player who single-handedly vanquished a gang of would-be muggers; Clyde Jones leads a safari through his backyard, which is filled with animals made of wood and cement that represent nontraditional folk art; the songs and sermon of a Primitive Baptist service flow together as one—“it tills you up all over”; Durham bluesman Willie Trice, one of a handful of Durham musicians who recorded in the 1930s and early 1940s, remembers when the active tobacco warehouses offered ready audiencesThey’d tip us a heap of change to play some music; and Goldsboro tobacco auctioneer H. L. Speed Riggs chants 460 words per minute, five to six times faster than a normal conversational rate. 077017

Payne, Robert
Life and Death of Adolf Hitler New York, New York, U.S.A. Hippocrene Books 1990 0880294027 Hardcover Very Good Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall
623 pages.Adolf Hitler erupted into history like a hurricane, destroying nearly everything in his path. Even today, more than fifty years after the phenomenon of the Third Reich, it is difficult to believe that a single person could have caused so much havoc and personal suffering, and so nearly succeeded in accomplishing his megomaniacal goal of universal domination. While the world has seen more than its fair share of dictators, none were so manipulative as Hitler, who singlemindedly pursued his own fantasies & managed to compel the entire German nation into acting them out on his behalf. "People are going to greedily devour this book...for the terror & curiosity are here. The monsters, dragons, & wolves are here. And more important, a talent for historical narrative is here..." 081758
