Hanley, Charles J.; Choe, Sang-Hun; Mendoza, Martha The Bridge at No Gun Ri: A Hidden Nightmare from the Korean War
0805066586; This is the untold human story behind the killing of Korean civilians by American soldiers in the early days of the Korean War, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists who uncovered it. In the summer of 1950, U.S. military forces opened fire on a group of South Korean refugees at a railroad trestle near the village of No Gun Ri. Suvivors said hundreds died, mostly women and children. Retreating U.S. commanders had issued orders to shoot approaching civilians to guard against North Korean infiltrations among refugee columns. In this book, the three journalists tell the larger, human story behind this dark chapter of the Korean War through the eyes of the people, both Korean and American, who lived through it. 313 pages including an extensive index and 16 pages of black & white photographs. The black remainder mark on the bottom is 1 1/2" long. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hansberry, Lorraine A Raisin in the Sun : The Unfilmed Original Screenplay
0452267765; The 1961 film version of a Raisin in the Sun, with a screenplay by the author won an award at the Cannes Film Festival, even though one-third of the actual screenplay Hansberry had written was cut out. The film did essentially bring Hansberry's extraordinary play to the screen, but it failed to fulfill her cinematic vision. Now, with this landmark edition of Hansberry's original script for the movie that audiences never viewed, readers have at hand an epic, eloquent work capturing not only the life and dreams of a black family, but the Chicago - and the society - that surround and shape them. This volume includes an introduction by Margaret B. Wilkerson, and commentary by Spike Lee. The binding is a bit worn on the right front edge. 206 pages, no marks or tears. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hansel, Tim Through the Wilderness of Loneliness
1555132901; We all suffer the anguish of loneliness from time to time - when our kids leave home, when a loved one dies, when no one else seems to understand our feelings, or perhaps even in the middle of a joyous crowd. Loneliness can strike powerfully and unexpectedly, and it is much more common than we might expect. Yet loneliness also has a purpose. This book will help you discover the reasons behind much of the lineliness you feel, and he will take you from there into the promise of loneliness. For without occasional lonely episodes, we tend to take for granted the wonderful joy of having an ever-present Companion who walks beside us even when we can't comprehend His presence. This book is written in short segments so you can put it down anytime and dwell on the parts that are most meaningful to you. 166 pages; the prior owner's name is written in on the ffep. The jacket has a 1/4" tear at the bottom near the right edge. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hansen, Brooks The Chess Garden or The Twilight Letters of Gustav Uyterhoeven
0374160155; In the fall of 1900, Dr. Gustav Uyterboeven left the chess garden that he and his wife, Sonja, had created together in Dayton, Ohio, and traveled to South Africa to serve as a doctor in the British concentration camps of the Boer War. Over the next ten months he sent twelve chess pieces and twelve letters back to Sonja. She set out her husband's gifts as they arrived and welcomed all the most faithful guests of the garden to come and hear what he had written - letters which told nothing of his experience of the camps but described an imagined land called Antipodes, where all the game pieces that cluttered the sets and drawers of the garden collection came to life to guide the doctor through his fateful and wondrous last adventure. History and allegory are expertly woven until finally both lead back to the chess garden itself, a place where ideas give way to vision, reason meets faith, and fact and figment are finally reconciled. 481 pages. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hardy, Thomas Far From the Maddening Crowd
This is Thomas Hardy's fourth novel and his first major literary success. It appeared originally as a monthly serial written anonymously in Cornhill Magazine, where it gained wide readership; critical notices, too, were plentiful and mostly positive. Hardy revised the text extensively for the 1895 edition, and made further changes for the 1901 edition. This volume is a copy of the 1901 edition and offers, in ample measure, the details of English rural life that Hardy so relished. There are five main characters in this book, which shows Hardy's penchant for tragedy. Three of the five come to unhappy ends. 370 pages with very light wear at the bottom corner and spine end. 5 3/4" x 8 1/4" high

Hargrove, Marion; Anderson, Maxwell (foreword by) See Here, Private Hargrove
Private Marion Hargrove approaches life from a number of angles peculiarly his own. He approached the United States Army in the same way. Sergeants who served over Hargrove testify in the pages of this book about what happened to him, and to the Army, when he joined in response to a letter from Washington which began "The President of the United States to Marion Hargrove. Greetings. . ." As the delighted reader begins to discover the Army through Hargrove's eyes, and Hargrove through the Army's, one realizes that there is, after all, a certain amount of excuse for sergeants. With high good humor, and a zest for the experience as a whole, here is written something different from any previous writing about the military life. The front top corner is lightly worn, and a prior owner's name is written on the ffep and title page. The jacket is missing a 1" x 2" area at the top corner, a 1/2" x 1/2" area at the bottom left, and pieces of the top and bottom spine. A 1/4" x 1" piece is missing from the bottom front, and all corners are quite worn (jacket). The front flap has a flower sticker on it where the price might have been - it has been clipped. Most interesting is a message from the author on the back, encouraging readers to buy war stamps and bonds. Jacket is in a protective cover.

Harmon, Sandra A Girl Like Me

So she fled her background, got a doctor to make her beautiful, and set off on a quest. Her journey took her through a succession of roles - from secretary, to mistress, to writer for a famous television talk-show. And a succession of locales- Manhattan, Paris, Acapulco. And a succession of men - a dress manufacturer who took her on his zebra-skin couch; an international businessman who took her on his own terms; a married movie star who loved her - whenever he was in town. She was a woman who tried to be what others wanted her to be, and finally learned to be herself. 180 pages. The binding has very light wear at the bottom spine and corners. There are a few tiny spots at the top of the pages. The jacket has a few chips at the spine top and the spine is lightly sunned. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Harrier, Heinrich;; Graves, Richard (Translated by); Fleming, Peter (Introduction by) Seven Years in Tibet
This is the action-packed story of a young adventurer's escape from a British interment camp in India during World War II and his dramatic trek through rugged Himalayan passes to sanctuary in the Forbidden City of Lhasa. The author, a noted Austrian mountain-climber and skier, was with the Nanga Parbat reconnaissance group in Karachi awaiting a steamer to Europe and when detained by the English; he immediately began a series of desperate attempts at escape. Harrer and another skilled mountain-climber escaped and began their tortuous journey of twenty-one months to Tibet. Posing as Indians with their beards dyed black and skin stained, they attempted some of the most unusual and exciting exploits ever narrated. The author, a destitute vagabond, gradually became the confidant of the youthful Dalai Lama. The binding is black with a red spine and a sketch in gold on the front. The bottom corners are bumped, and there are some lighter spots on the front and back - probably fingerprints. The spine is lightened at the ends; includes 40 pages of photos. A BOMC edition. The jacket has wear at the spine ends, with pieces missing, and wear at the corners. Now in a protective cover.

Harris, David Our War: What We Did in Vietnam and What It Did to Us
0812925769; David Harris was the most famous draft resister of the Vietnam War. A former student body president of Stanford University, he refused to accept induction and be sent to Vietnam. As a consequence, he spent nearly two years in a federal prison. With his marriage to Joan Baez, he emerged as the leading moral voice of his generation. For the past two decades he has largely remained silent as the antiwar movement he led stood accused by critics and politicians of everything from cowardice to stab-in-the-back betrayal to frivolity. Now, in Our War, he speaks out in defense of a generation torn by one of the most divisive wars in America's history. This book is a compelling, even fevered account of stalking the war's moral shadow through the decades since its ignominious end. It is a powerful rumination on the war, the protest movement, and America's need, even now, so many years later, for a reckoning. 191 pages. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Harte, Bret Salomy Jane's Kiss: Photoplay Edition
The story is of a family moving to California, hoping to become rich in gold, as they had heard fantastic stories of people becoming wealthy overnight. They came from Kentucky, and were also drawn to the pasture lands where money could be made raising cattle. This is the photo play edition, which has been revised and enlarged from the original. When writing the photo play version many additional incidents were introduced which could not be found in the original book.

The illustrations are reproductions of photos taken for the photo play, and were all taken in the Redwood Forest. Twelve illustrations. The green binding has light to medium wear at the corners, minor wear at the bottom of the boards, and the top and bottom spines edges are bent in. 180 pages, no marks or tears; one of the illustrations is laid in. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Hartsfield, Mariella Glenn Tall Betsy and Dunce Baby South Georgia Folktales
0820313327; NEW - STILL IN PUBLISHERS WRAP. Tall Betsy and Dunce Baby captures in print the oral heritage of Mariella Hartsfield's native southwest Georgia, a heritage that is slowly fading away, the casual victim of mechanization and mass media. The tales in this collection range from the supernatural to the romantic, the sacred to the secular, and are populated by ghosts and witches, numskulls and "noodles," thieves, preachers and widows. A celebration of American imagination, tradition, and manners, this collection of folktales not only records the values, customs, and lifestyles of the region's past but also reveals the spirit of people who responded to the demands of rural living with grace, good humor, and endurance.

Harvey, Rita Morley Those Wonderful, Terrible Years George Heller and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists
0809320231; NEW - STILL IN PUBLISHERS WRAPS. This spirited biography of George Heller serves as an accessible inside history of the Golden Age of radio and TV through its glory days and its era of shame - McCarthyism and political blacklisting. In this book, Rita Morley Harvey tells the story of the charismatic, controversial Heller and the national union of radio and television artists from its inception in the 1930s to the Golden Age of television and the McCarthy era. Always prominent in Harvey's account of what happened to the union, its members, and to Heller and his friends are the shadows cast by the radical right in government and those willing to help in its dirty work. The story of AFTRA begins during the Great Depression, a time of great trust and camaraderie as well as tremendous hardship. In the 1950s the Golden Age of television, the radio and television industry was beset by Joseph R. McCarthy and all he came to represent. Harvey insists that this was a "time of stunning consequence in the lives of George Heller and his friends, in the lives of hundreds of others too, all good, decent citizens and much-admired radio and TV performers." 272 pages. 6" x 9 /14

Hathaway, Heather; Jarab, Josef; Melnick, Jeffrey (editors) Race and the Modern Artist
0195123247; What is the relationship between modernity and modernism? Between high modernism and what used to be called minority literature? For decades it has been a given that American modernism was the purview of a narrow group of white Euro-Americans. Writers on the margin - African Americans, Jews, and Latinos, for instance - have long been considered too political or too parochial to have a place in the modernist canon. The essays in this collection, written in tribute to the late African American historian Nathan Huggins by his colleagues and students, take as their premise that high modernism, as traditionally understood, was not the only significant reaction by American artists to the revolutionary changes that defined the modern era. The essays here examine the disputed relationships between modernity, modernism, and American cultural diversity. This volume insists on many modernisms and, in doing so, adds an important new dimension to our understanding of 20th century literature. 266 pages including an index. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hayes, Bill Sleep Demons: An Insomniac's Memoir
0671028146; Like the most rewarding kind of travel writer, Bill Hayes is both informative and personal as he takes us through the borderlands of sleep and waking, mysterious yet familiar. I'm grateful for the way this intimate, reflective and factual guidebooks captures the feeling of that terrain." - Robert Pinsky, Poet Laureate of the United States, 1997-2000. Bill Hayes' life as an insomniac is rooted in the wry trappings of irony: His father ran a Coca-Cola factory, of all things. (I've often wondered if all that sugar and caffeine altered my neurochemical makeup.) Moving seamlessly to and from his present vantage point in San Francisco, Hayes'narrative affords an intimate look at one man's singular journey through contemporary life - from his sleep-disturbed childhood through his sleepwalking in adolescence to the height of his insomnia, when his partner struggles with AIDS and Hayes must face an increasingly troubling and debilitating sleep disorder. "As with desire, sleep resists pursuit. It must come find you. Nevertheless, I look for it." This powerful book is the result of Bill Hayes' lifelong search for sleep. INSOMNIACS, TAKE NOTE! 355 pages, including references and an index. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hecht, Tobias After Life: An Ethnographic Novel
0822337886; Bruna Verissimo, a youth from the hardscrabble streets of Recife, in Northeast Brazil, spoke with the author over the course of many years, reliving her early childhood in a raging and destitute home, her initiation into the world of prostitution at a time when her contemporaries had barely started school, and her coming of age against all odds. Tobias Hecht had originally intended to write a biography of Verissimo. But with interviews ultimately spanning a decade, he couldn't ignore his sense that much of what he had been told wasn't, strictly speaking, true. In Verissimo's recounting of her life, a sister never born died tragically, while the very same rape that shattered the body and mind of an acquaintance occurred a second time, but with a different victim and several years later. At night, with the anthropologist's tape recorder in hand, she became her own ethnographer, inventing informants, interviewing herself, answering in different voices. With truth impossible to disentangle from invention, Hecht followed the lead of Verissimo, his would-be informant, creating characters, rendering a tale that didn't happen but that might have. A call and response of truth and invention, mental illness and yearning, this book is a tribute to and reinterpretation of the Latin American testimonio genre. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Henry, Marguerite White Stallion of Lipizza (Signed)
This is the story of Hans, a baker's son, who was mesmerized by the Lipizzaners, the famous horses of Vienna that were paraded daily to the Spanish Court Riding School. Even though Hans was from a family of bakers, he so wanted to go to the Riding School. He went to the stables in the far-off meadows of Piber where the horses were bred, and enjoyed watching them frolic, and got to know one of the most elegant horses. Still wanting to attend the school, his heartfelt plans were broken when his father died. But eventually, with a lot of hard work and ingenuity, he began working with those wonderful stallions. His dream was coming true! 25 chapters of a few pages each, and an epilogue. 116 pages, illustrated in black & white and color. The book has light wear to the corners, top and bottom edges, and a bit more wear to the spine ends. There are two very light scratches on the front - 1/4" and 1", not deep enough to lose all of the brown cover of the binding. The end papers are beautifully decorated. The pages are very lightly tanned. 9 1/4" x 11 1/4"; AUTOGRAPHED BY THE AUTHOR.

Herriot, James James Herriot's Yorkshire
0312439709; In this, James Herriot's fourth book, he responded to thousands of letters expressing the wish to see the places he wrote about. This is a guided tour, walks and drives through his favorite places. Illustrated with over two hundred color photographs, they depict the glorious Dales, the snowy hills, the farms, becks, and towns that the author has brought vividly to life in all of his stories. Responding to letters he received, Herriot wrote "If this book can reach those readers it will give them at least a glimpse of the countryside where I have found so many of the good things of life." This is a warm, loving and deeply satisfying companion volume to all the books that Herriot wrote. Postscript and index included.

Herriot, James The Best of James Herriot: Favourite Memories of a Country Vet
0312077165; As James Herriot said: "The publication of this book gives me the chance to pick out my favorite chapters (from past books) - the ones my family and I have laughed at over the years and the ones my readers have said they most enjoyed. . . . They say we should not live in the past and I have no reason to do so because I am still a practicing veterinary surgeon, still enjoying life. But to me, the past is a sweet, safe place to be, and through the medium of this book I shall spend a little time there now and then." Lavishly presented in a splendid large-format volume that includes over 100 full-color pages of breathtaking photos, are the most unforgettable episodes from four of the most beloved books of our time. The jacket has somewhat worn corners and a 1" tear on the back. In a protective cover.

Hilsman, Roger George Bush vs. Saddam Hussein : Military Success! Political Failure?
0891414703; The Gulf War, contends Emeritus Professor Roger Hilsman of Columbia University, was brought on not by the clash of national interests, but by the intense personal rivalry between George Bush and Saddam Hussein. Hilsman portrays Saddam Hussein as a villain, but a villain who rose to power in a society of villains; a man driven by very real and human fears. George Bush is also a driven man. According to Hilsman, the president manipulated the press and news from the region while ignoring the counsel of many military and diplomatic experts during what some observers called his "headlong rush to war." This is an important study, expecially in the current climate, that allows the reader to consider carefully the validity of Bush's claim to be the "foreign policy president" based on his handling of the Persian Gulf crisis. The jacket has a few wrinkles in the front and a 1/2" tear at the bottom. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hiney, Tom On the Missionary Trail: A Journey Through Polynesia, Asia, and Africa With the London Missionary Society
0871138239; The Literary Review (London) said of this book: "One doesn't have to be a missionary, a Congregationalist, or even a Christian to admire their spirit. Everything seems to have caught their imagination. And everything about their trip seems to have caught Hiney's imagination, too. There aren't many books in which the author's fascination and affection for his subject shine through as clearly as in this one." In 1821 the London Missionary Society (LMS) deputized George Bennet and Daniel Tyerman to travel the world, to visit its stations and report on their progress. This is the extraordinary account of this expedition in which they reported chiefs surfing, perpetual warfare and sudden surges and retreats of Christianity in the South Sea islands. Traveling the world, their last stop was the slave hub of Madagascar, where Tyerman died of exhuastion and Bennet had to excape the besieged mission house during the outbreak of tribal war in order to leave the country, finally returning home in 1829. 366 pages including notes, a bibliography, and index. Also includes 8 pages of photographs and drawings of their missionary stops, and one drawn map near the end. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hiro, Dilip Iraq: In the Eye of the Storm
1560254777; George W. Bush could succeed where Osama bin Laden failed in provoking a clash of civilizations between Islam and the West by launching a "pre-emptive" attack on Iraq. This is one of the disturbing concludions to Iraq: IN the Eye of the Storm, a wide-ranging and thought provoking book by Middle East expert Dilip Hiro. He looks beyond the spin of the Bush administration and Saddam's Baathist regime to explore Iraq in all it's complexity - from the daily life of its people to its turbulent history and complex regional relations. While laying bare Saddam's cult of personality and his extensive intelligence apparatus, he details several unsuccessful attempts by the US-backed opposition to oust him. He provides an objective account of the performance of the UN inspectors, and matches the descriptions of Saddam's "cheat-and-retreat" tactics with Washingtons flagrant abuse of UN inspection in which personnel were used for espionage with the aim of overthrowing Saddam's government. 271 pages including notes, appendices and an index. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Hirtle, Sheila; de Villiers, Marq; Sahara A Natural History
0802713726; In the parched and seemingly lifeless heart of the Sahara desert, four major mountain ranges interrupt the flow of dunes and gravel plains, and at certain times waterfalls cascade from their peaks. Even the sand amazes: Massive dunes can appear almost overnight, and be gone just as quickly. We think we know the Sahara, the largest and most austere desert on Earth - yet it is full of surprises, as the authors reveal in this brilliant and evocative biography of the land and its people. "If you traveled across the United States from Boston to San Diego, you still wouldn't have crossed the Sahara," the write, painting a vivid picture of this most extraordinary place. They chart the genesis and course of Atlantic hurricanes, many of which are born in the Tibesi mountains of northern Chad, showing that the Sahara, which has a strong influence of weather patterns the world over, is much closer than it seems. They describe the massive aquifers that lie beneath the desert, some filled with water that predates the appearance of humankind on Earth. They marvel at jagged mountains and at ancient cave paintings deep in the desert that reveal the Sahara was a verdant grassland 10,000 years ago; what's more, this cycle has been repeated several times, and may well repeat again. 326 pages with index, bibliography and notes. Photographs throughout. 6" x 9 1/4

Hodges, Margaret (Retold by, from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift) Gulliver in Lilliput
0823411478; Gulliver's Travels was originally written for adults. However, the author of this book has taken this story, part 1 of Gulliver's Travels, and written it as she imagined Gulliver might have told his adventures to children. In 1699, a ship's doctor named Lemuel Gulliver sets sail from England to the South Seas. When a raging storm destroys his ship, he swims to the nearest shore and falls asleep. He awakens and finds himself tied to the ground, surrounded by people less than six inches tall. They are Lilliputians, the tiny citizens of a strange little country called Lilliput. And on goes the story. Beautifully illustrated.
