Alfred A. Knopf, 1986

Lost Is Very Much responsible for my life long reading habit
Gary I know that you are dead but I just want to thank you for all that you have done for me. I found your book in the library in high school when our reading teacher began to make it manditory for us to read a 300 plus page book and do a report on it every six weeks. I was in very much distress having thought that a totally impossible feat. At that time 300 pages might has well been 3,000 it was ...

Reading Jazz: A Gathering of Autobiography, Reportage, and Criticism from 1919 to Now

Robert Gottlieb

Pantheon, 1996

A Note on the Editor
Robert Gottlieb is indeed up to the job of editing this anthology. The information about him provided on the book is incomplete--necessarily incomplete, because Gottlieb has one of the longest and most distinguished editing careers in American letters. He was head of a publishing house and editor-in-chief of "The New Yorker." He is responsible for some of the best writing of the last quarter ...

Bevin Cline, Tina di Carlo, ...

The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2003

Objects of Design from The Museum of Modern Art
MoMA canonized modern design as it did 20th-century art, and this anthology of pictures and expert texts highlights a collection of 3,708 objects that range in size from microchips to a helicopter. About a tenth of those are illustrated in nine thematic sections. Many are icons, but there are a few surprises, especially among recent acquisitions, where the inventive use of materials supplants ...

Collected Stories (Everyman's Library Classics)

Rudyard Kipling

Everyman's Library, 1994

One of the finest writers ever
Kipling is little appreciated today, and that's a shame, because he was one of the finest short-story writers the world has ever produced. The closest word I can find to describe his stories is "hynotic." Such an imagination...many of the stories are understated horror and fantasy: stories of talking trains, of wild rides that end up in hellish worlds, of frighteningly realistic curses by ...

A Certain Style The Art of the Plastic Handbag, 1949-59

Fabulous Photos - A Purse Collector's Dream Book!
A fantastic collection of the most spectacular and unusal vintage handbags ever made. Interesting story about the collector, too - a man, believe it or not! A previous reviewer criticized this book because there are no price values. As a collector of lucite and other vintage handbags, I can only say that prices in the books are never accurate anyway and as far as I'm concerned are useless. ...

George Balanchine : The Ballet Maker (Eminent Lives)

Robert Gottlieb, 2004

"...there is a glow -- the space, the hands, everything is fantastically beautiful"
This is one of several volumes in the HarperCollins Eminent Lives series. Each offers a concise rather than comprehensive, much less definitive biography. However, just as Al Hirschfeld's illustrations of various celebrities capture their defining physical characteristics, the authors of books in this series focus on the defining influences and developments during the lives and careers of their ...

This is so great, that I am ordering another copy
I bought this as a gift for a friend who enjoys knowing all the lyrics of songs. In this book, he discovered some intros and verses he hadn't known. He has enjoyed the book so much that I am going to buy one for myself.

Destroying Angel

Rick Bennett, Mark Gottlieb, ...

Guru's Press, 2000

AN AMAZING LOOK AT WOMEN's SUPPRESSED POTENTIAL.
I couldn't put this book down. As a life-long New York Democrat, I thought I was leading-edge sensitive to women's issues. But couched in one of the most exciting pieces of technology fiction I've ever read is a disturbing spiritual gem: Women could well be the intended solution to all the world's problems."

Robert Gottlieb, Peter Wiley

Davis Publishers, Inc., 1977

Alfred Hitchcock states in the forward, "You'll find this something of a life or death issue-not only because it contains a story titled Life Sentence and one titled Death Song, but also because each of the stories brings one of its characters to the brink-and thinking the stories are all of a kind. Consider the characters and where you will find them. Two business partners fishing alone in the Bahamas, an outlaw hitching a ride in a Diesel ...
