Remains clean, sturdy, quite presentable, and bright. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 4to. Decorated Endpapers. Hardback: Pictorial Boards. Lacks DJ. Specifically written and illustrated by Jean Cassels for young readers ages 4 to 8, The Mysterious Collection Of Dr. David Harleyson is an amusing mystery picturebook. The world-renowned painter Dr. David Harleyson has disappeared, and his nephew must find him by tracing clues on the backs of Dr. David's most recent paintings. The artwork amazingly renders animal favorites from classic rhymes and tales such as the Itsy Bitsy Spider, one Bill Goat Gruff, the Cat (and the Fiddle), and much more. Various notes and clues piece together a story in this inventive and original picture book sure to stimulate young minds. Highly recommended. Cassels, Jean (illustratore). …

Very Good; Color illustrated glossy paper over boards with like stiff paper jacket, Clean copy in and out, appears never read; Color Pencil ; 0.4 x 10.1 x 9.3 Inches; 32 pages; When Mayor Fargenberg announced a cake-baking competition for the town's big Fourth of July celebration, Donna Rae Hadley started thinking. And as all of Danville knew, once Donna Rae got one of her big ideas, anything could happen. Not just any cake would do for Donna Rae's entry. Of course it needed to taste wonderful. But her cake also needed all the drama of the Boston Tea Party. It needed to showcase patriotism, like the Statue of Liberty. It needed the pizzazz and excitement of Paul Revere's ride. Even Mayor Fargenberg, who was secretly sweet on Donna Rae, could see a culinary disaster in the making. Bring your fork and your appetite to this spirited holiday bake-off, but don't forget your napkin. The cake will be flying. Illustrated by Collins, Matt (illustratore).…

    Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket, 434 pages, b&w photos. William Louis "Bill" Veeck, Jr. (1914-1986) is legendary in many ways-baseball impresario and innovator, independent spirit, champion of civil rights in a time of great change. Paul Dickson has written the first full biography of this towering figure, in the process rewriting many aspects of his life and bringing alive the history of America's pastime. In his late 20s, Veeck bought into his first team, the American Association Milwaukee Brewers. After serving and losing a leg in WWII, he bought the Cleveland Indians in 1946, and a year later broke the color barrier in the American League by signing Larry Doby, a few months after Jackie Robinson-showing the deep commitment he held to integration and equal rights. Cleveland won the World Series in 1948, but Veeck sold the team for financial reasons the next year. He bought a majority of the St. Louis Browns in 1951, sold it three years later, then returned in 1959 to buy the other Chicago team, the White Sox, winning the American League pennant his first year. Ill health led him to sell two years later, only to gain ownership again, 1975-1981. Veeck's promotional spirit-the likes of clown prince Max Patkin and midget Eddie Gaedel are inextricably connected with him-and passion endeared him to fans, while his feel for the game led him to propose innovations way ahead of their time, and his deep sense of morality not only integrated the sport but helped usher in the free agency that broke the stranglehold owners had on players. (Veeck was the only owner to testify in support of Curt Flood during his landmark free agency case). Bill Veeck: Baseball's Greatest Maverick is a deeply insightful, powerful biography of a fascinating figure. Record # 378926.…
