New York NY U.S.A.: Farrar Straus & Giroux 2004. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. OPEN HOUSE strings together a delightful array of observations reminiscences anecdotes and commentaries by renowned columnist Patricia Williams. Written with her trademark wit and insight she relates stories about the many facets of her life - as a lawyer scholar writer African-American descendant of slaves mother and single fifty-something woman - always aware of the ironies inherent in situations when her many identities don't conform to societal expectations. She tells us of her Great Aunt Mary who crossed the color line one day while boarding a train; about her Best White Friend who believes that the only thing standing between the author and an eligible husband is a make-over; about the day she and her family learned how to eat watermelon without fear of racial judgment; and about why she worships Oprah. She also tackles serious subjects such as cloning and the legacy of slavery and privacy issues in the cyberage all with her characteristic sparkling humor and originality. Always provocative never didactic OPEN HOUSE is an entertaining journey through the rooms of Pat Williams' imagination. Fine unread first edition first printing in fine mylar-protected dust jacket.Not remainder-marked or price-clipped BIOS1 <br/> <br/> Farrar Straus & Giroux hardcover

MONTY PYTHON'S TUNISIAN HOLIDAY: My Life With Brian A Memoir
New York New York U.S.A.: Thomas Dunne Books/ St. Martin's Minotaur 2008. First Edition First Printing 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Monty Python is arguably more popular today than it was nearly 40 years ago when the group first burst onto the comedy scene. Since that time new generations continue to discover the wit the genius and the sheer silliness of the six men that comprised Python. In 1978 Kim 'Howard' Johnson spent several weeks in Tunisia on the set of Life of Brian and kept a detailed journal of what he saw and heard on the set. The result is a unique eyewitness account that reveals the Pythons at work in a way that nothing else written about them could do. MONTY PYTHON'S TUNISIAN HOLIDAY presents a piece of history that very few have ever been able to experience a peek on the set of a classic Python film. New unread copy in new mylar-protected dust jacket. NF2 <br/> <br/> Thomas Dunne Books/ St. Martin's Minotaur hardcover

Harvard University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine Dust Jacket. 1985. 12th Printing. Hardcover. 0674639251 . Even if Eudora Welty were not a major writer her description of growing up in the South--of the interplay between black and white between town and countryside between dedicated schoolteachers and the public they taught--would he notable. That she is a splendid writer of fiction gives her own experience a family likeness to others in the generation of young Southerners that produced a literary renaissance. Until publication of this book she had discouraged biographical investigations. It undoubtedly was not easy for this shy and reticent lady to undertake her own literary biography to relive her own memories painful as well as pleasant to go through letters and photographs of her parents and grandparents. But we are in her debt for the distillation of experience she offers us is a rare pleasure for her admirers a treat to everyone who loves good writing and anyone who is interested in the seeds of creativity.

St. Clair, Chip
THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN: A Memoir
Deerfield Beach FL: Health Communications Inc. 2008. First Edition First Printing 1st Printing. Soft cover. New/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed and dated 5/31/08 by author on title page with 'Continue to Soar!' inscription above signature. Every family has secrets but Chip St. Clair survived the darkest of family betrayals. As a boy he never knew what would set his father off--maybe the ice cubes in his glass of Tab maybe dinner was overcooked or undercooked or the gravy was too runny. Regardless the beatings always came. As did the twisted games of cat-and-mouse--being thrown from a rowboat into frigid Lake Michigan the middle-of-the-night moves to different states or being left to dangle over a twenty-seven-story balcony while his father watched from inside. But one fateful night when the police answered the call the truth came to light from the shadows sparking national headlines. Chip's entire life--his name even his date of birth--had been a lie and the man he called "Dad" was an impostor an escaped child killer who had been on the run for over two dedades. The stunning revelation that Chip had spent his life as the son of one of America's Most Wanted would send one man to justice and another on a quest for his true identity. With chilling detail and a riveting lyrical narrative THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN reveals St. Clair's struggle to piece together his haunted past before it consumes him and shares his inspiring metamorphosis from victim to victim's advocate. New trade PBO in pictorial wraps. L111 <br/> <br/> Health Communications, Inc. paperback
