The story of the creation of the world and of the the First Age this is the ancient drama to which the characters in THE LORD OF THE RINGS look back and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. The three Silmarils were jewels created by Feanor most gifted of the Elves. Within them was imprisoned the Light of the Two Trees of Valinor before the Trees themselves were destroyed by Morgoth the first Dark Lord. Thereafter the unsullied Light of Valinor lived on only in the Silmarils but they were seized by Morgoth and set in his crown which was guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth. THE SILMARILLION is the history of the rebellion of Feanor and his kindred against the gods their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth and their war hopeless despite all their heroism against the great Enemy. This second edition features a letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien describing his intentions for the book which serves as a brilliant exposition of his conception of the earlier Ages of Middle-earth." ; FINE/G.

As he travels across America on the lecture circuit the famously witty playwright has found much to love about the western states. Whiskey saloons and friendly conversation with notables like John 'Doc' Holliday-Wilde loves it all. There is even in every town his entourage visits a sensational murder. In the nights after Wilde gives his talks a man with a knife goes lurking in the back alleys and red-light districts of these dusty western towns. Each morning the police find the remains of a savagely murdered prostitute. Booze-addled detective Earl Grigsby is tracking the killer and suspects Wilde may be the one with blood on his hands. If he ever wants to leave America Wilde will have to use his wit to unmask the savage killer." ; "Walter Satterthwait b. 1946 is an author of mysteries and historical fiction.

While working as a bartender in New York in the late 1970s he wrote his first book: an adventure novel Cocaine Blues 1979 about a drug dealer on the run from a pair of killers. After his second thriller The Aegean Affair 1982 Satterthwait created his best-known character Santa Fe private detective Joshua Croft. Beginning with Wall of Glass 1988 Satterthwait wrote five Croft novels concluding the series with 1996's Accustomed to the Dark.

More astute and forbearing yet more fallible than legend has allowed Wilde is given here the dimensions of a modern hero. The author depicts Wilde's comet-like ascent on the Victorian scene and his equally dramatic sudden eclipse. He presents Wilde's Irish background the actresses to whom he paid court his unfortunate wife and lovers his clothes coiffures and the decor of his rooms. The saga of his 1882 American tour is recounted with a wealth of new details; also his later impact on the bastions of the French literary establishment. The London of the Nineties of Whistler and the Pre-Raphaelites Lillie Langtry and the Prince of Wales is evoked alongside Paris of the "belle époque" and the Greece Italy and North Africa of Wilde's travels. This critical account of Wilde's entire oeuvre shows him as the proponent of a radical new aesthetic who was perilously at odds with Victorian society. After his period of success and daring the fatal love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas is followed by exposure imprisonment a few wretched years abroad and death in exile. The tragic end of Wilde's life leaves the reader with a sense of compassion and grief for the protagonist." ; arguably the greatest biography of Wilde in existence ; remainder mark at bottom ; FINE/FINE.

In those days it was customary to snip a lock of hair as a keepsake and this Hiller did a day after Beethoven's death. By the time he was buried Beethoven's head had been nearly shorn by the many people who similarly had wanted a lasting memento of the great man. Such was his powerful effect on all those who had heard his music. For a century the lock of hair was a treasured Hiller family relic and perhaps was destined to end up sequestered in a bank vault until it somehow found its way to the town of Gilleleje in Nazi-occupied Denmark during the darkest days of the Second World War." ; FINE/FINE New York : Broadway Books, 2000 hardcover‎
