Silver Prize winner, 19th Annual Mature Media Awards, National
Media (Book) division.Defining the differences between
run-of-the-mill old farts and the loveable geezer, this hilarious
tome for old men illuminates what they need to embrace geezerhood.
Tools for recognizing different types of geezers--from the golfer
to the hypochondriac--help men identify what type of cranky old man
they are, and geezer role models and great geezer moments offer
inspiration for who they can ultimately become. Offering daily
insights into geezer philosophies and tips for locating popular
geezer stomping grounds, this must-have gift for grandpa also
includes crosswords, puzzles, and "New Yorker "cartoons he can
enjoy from the comfort of his own recliner.
A celebration of cinema from the year 1939--a year film critics and
historians are virtually unanimous in considering the greatest in
the history of motion pictures--this work is the perfect
combination of film history, artistic appreciation, historical
insight, and gossip. Profiling of six of the greatest films of the
year--"Gone with the Wind," "Stagecoach," "Mr. Smith Goes to
Washington," "The Hound of the Baskervilles," "The Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn," and "The Wizard of Oz"--the book shows, in
detail, how these stories came into being and how long they waited
to find fame. It also describes the behind-the-scenes story of each
film: how the stories were adapted to a film script; the writers,
producers, directors, actors, and technicians who made the film;
how the film was received by critics and the public; and the later
careers of the people who made the film, with commentary on such
legendary stars as Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, and Judy
Garland. A must-have book that no movie fan should miss, this work
captures 1930s Hollywood--an era which, in spite of being crass,
commercial, restrictive, and frequently dysfunctional, produced
immensely enjoyable films that are still watched with pleasure
today.

Murder has a long and distinguished history in San Francisco. The
city and its Bay Area can stand proudly with Paris, London, and New
York in the splendour of its misdeeds - murders that have suspense,
horror, audacity, and flair. The homicides chronicled in "Murder by
the Bay" have been selected because a convergence of personality,
circumstance, character, and geography makes them peculiarly San
Franciscan. Each of these crimes illustrates an historic
importance, each has impacted its times - either in the course or
application of the law or in the manner in which the affair
revealed a shortcoming in society. They range from the Montgomery
Street killing of James King of William, editor of the "Daily
Evening Bulletin", in 1856 to the sensational trial of early movie
comedian Fatty Arbuckle who was accused of killing a showgirl at a
party in the St. Francis Hotel to the shocking 'City Hall Murders'
in which former city supervisor Dan White killed Mayor George
Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. Most were solved, some were
not. They are murders that fascinated the city and frequently the
country, sometimes for weeks, often for years and even decades.
