“Neverwhere” began as a 12-part serial called “Den,” for the first twelve issues of “Heavy Metal” magazine (1977-1978). Den is a young man named David Ellis Norman. Following directions and a diagram left for him by his missing uncle, David builds an electronic apparatus which opens a gateway to a fantasy world named “Neverwhere.” There he is transformed into a hairless, nude, muscular, and prodigiously endowed adventurer. Confused by his strange trip, he can only remember the acronym of his real name (DEN), and begins calling himself “Den.”
Shortly after his arrival, Den rescues a voluptuous, large breasted nude woman, Kath, from an evil masked woman, known as the Red Queen. Kath reveals to him that, on Earth, she is a frail novelist called Katherine Wells and she too was drawn to Neverwhere when she found a doorway. Like Den, she is completely nude and hairless except for her blond bob hairstyle. Their exploits are lusty and brawling, brimming with magic, intrigue, horror and betrayal. [Source: Wikipedia]

Doughty’s short-lived magazine “The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports” is an important imprint in the history of American printing. It contained the first colored sporting prints made in America. Issued in monthly parts and published from the end of 1830 until the spring of 1834, “The Cabinet” featured articles on hunting, detailed descriptions of newly discovered flora and fauna, and some of the finest examples of early American hand-colored lithography. It was originally the work of the Doughty brothers, Thomas and John, with virtually all of the plates being the work of Thomas, who also founded the Hudson River School. But, by the spring of 1832, the partnership had broken up and Thomas had moved to Boston. An abbreviated third volume (not included here) lacked Thomas’ touch.

Through splintering pain, he heard Kimbrough's bark, "That's enough. I don't want him dying on us. Can you hear me, Sands?"
Sands lifted his face, said through blood, "I can hear you -- damn you!"
"Then stay away from Nora, Sands. Keep your hands off my wife. This is just a sample of what you'll get if you don't clear out of the country. Now burn this cabin, boys."
When it was over, Sands lay face down in the dust, and as the drumming of hoofs faded, he swore an oath. He swore that some day he would get the whip hand over Kimbrough, and Kimbrough would curse the day he had first laid eyes on Sands, on Wyoming -- and on Nora.

The Psychiatrist Said: "I think the boy is a moral imbecile . . . but I feel that he killed without the slightest premeditation."
What made this youth with a spoiled child's face a wanton killer, one who killed without conscience or remorse, killed in rage against a world he could neither understand nor accept?
She wanted to turn herself into money – any kind of money.

So I’ve been looking to buy a Rollei 35 camera for some time and my delay was due to my criteria. It had to be black and made in Germany.

The setting is the Georgia wilderness, where the state's most remote white-water river awaits. Four men embark on a three-day canoe trip down a particularly wild section of the river. They are, with one exception, seemingly average suburban Americans: a mutual funds salesman, a supervisor in a soft-drink company, and a successful art director in a consulting firm who is the story's narrator. For them the trip represents a break in the domestic routine, a chance for adventure with few real risks, and the last occasion to see a beautiful valley unvisited and free before the river is dammed up. Their leader, an enthusiastic outdoorsman and champion archer, is obsessed by the desire to pit himself against nature.
When, the morning of the second day, two of the group are attacked viciously and perversely by mountaineers, a mildly adventurous canoe trip explodes into a nightmare of horror and murder. Men stalk and are stalked by other men and the treacherous river becomes a graveyard for those without the strength or the luck to survive. The narrator, forced to assume the leadership of his group and to pursue a dangerous multiple deception, must call upon all his resources to try to achieve deliverance.
A critically successful yet disturbing movie based on the book was produced in 1972 and it starred Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty and Ronny Cox. The most uplifting scene in the movie is where Ronny Cox plays "Dueling Banjos" on guitar with a banjo-playing country boy.

The most disgusting scene in the movie is the notorious male rape scene, "Squeal Like a Pig," with Ned Beatty doing the squealing.

Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Treatise on Painting,” the most important treatise on art to be written during the Renaissance, was actually compiled by Francesco Melzi, one of Leonardo’s pupils, around 1540. It circulated widely, first in separate manuscripts and later in printed books, and for centuries it was thought to have been written by Leonardo himself. Artists, scientists, and scholars including Galileo, read it avidly as an authoritative record of Leonardo’s thoughts. In the 19th century, when the artist’s original notes became available, scholars realized that the text poorly reflected Leonardo’s sophisticated ideas. The text was very influential nonetheless. For better or worse, it was the primary source for disseminating Leonardo’s art theory in Renaissance and Baroque Europe, from the mid-sixteenth century to the early nineteenth century.

“Bambi: A Life in the Woods” by Felix Salten was originally published in Austria in 1923. Simon & Schuster’s 1928 edition is based on an English translation by Whittaker Chambers. The novel has since been translated and published in over 20 languages around the world.
The novel traces the life of Bambi, a male deer, from his birth through childhood, the loss of his mother, the finding of a mate, the lessons he learns from his father and experience about the dangers posed by human hunters in the forest. The novel is considered a classic, as well as one of the first environmental novels ever published. Beside several live-action and stage adaptations, the novel was adapted into an animated film by Walt Disney Studios in 1942. [Source: Wikipedia]

The “Nuremberg Chronicle” is an illustrated world history that follows the story of humankind related in the Bible, from Creation to Last Judgment. It was written in Latin by Hartmann Schedel in the city of Nuremberg and is one of the best-documented early printed books – an incunabulum – and one of the first to successfully integrate illustrations and text. The publisher and printer was Anton Koberger, the godfather of Albrecht Durer. The large workshop of Michael Wolgemut, then Nuremberg’s leading artist, provided the unprecedented 1,809 woodcut illustrations. Albrecht Durer was an apprentice with Wolgemut from 1486 to 1489, so may well have participated in designing some of the illustrations for the specialist craftsmen who cut the blocks.
Approximately 400 Latin and 300 German copies of the Chronicle survived into the twenty-first century. Some copies were broken up for sale as decorative prints. The larger illustrations in the book were sold separately, often hand-colored in watercolor. Many copies of the book are also colored, with varying degrees of skill; there were specialist shops for this. The coloring on some examples has been added much later.
The image is from the 14th Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1892-93, by J. W. Powell, Director, Part 2. Washington: Government Printing Office, 1896. The description which follows summarizes the detailed information accompanying the image in the report.
The ancestral home of the Nez Pierce in the Wallowa valley of northeastern Oregon was taken by the white man. Collision between the whites and Indians in the valley became more frequent, when a commission was appointed in 1876 to induce the Indians to give up the Wallowa valley and relocate to Lapwai reservation in Idaho. On May 3, 1877, U.S. Army General Howard held the first council with Chief Joseph and his followers at Fort Lapwai. Everything went smoothly toward a speedy and peaceful settlement when a single act of lawless violence undid the labor of weeks and precipitated a bloody war.
A band of white robbers attacked the Nez Pierce, ran off the cattle, and killed one of the party in charge. Joseph could no longer restrain his warriors and on June 13, 1877 – one day before the date that had been appointed for going on the reservation – the enraged Nez Pierce attacked the neighboring settlement on White Bird Creek, Idaho, and killed 21 people. The war was begun.

From the blurb on the dust jacket:
In the late summer of 1831, in a remote section of southeastern Virginia, there took place the only effective, sustained revolt in the annals of American Negro slavery . . .
The revolt was led by a remarkable Negro preacher named Nat Turner, an educated slave who felt himself divinely ordained to annihilate all the white people in the region.
"The Confessions of Nat Turner" is narrated by Nat himself as he lingers in jail through the cold autumnal days before his execution. The compelling story ranges over the whole of Nat's life, reaching its inevitable and shattering climax that bloody day in August.
"The Confessions of Nat Turner" is not only a masterpiece of storytelling; it also reveals in unforgettable human terms the agonizing essence of Negro slavery. Through the mind of a slave, William Styron has re-created a catastrophic event, and dramatized the intermingled miseries, frustrations -- and hopes -- which caused this extraordinary black man to rise up out of the early mists of our history and strike down those who had held his people in bondage.
A native of the Tidewater region of Virginia, William Styron grew up not far from Southampton County, where Nat Turner's revolt took place. The story of Nat Turner was the subject of the first novel that the author wanted to write, and he has maintained a special interest in American Negro slavery ever since. He has written three other novels, "Lie Down in Darkness," "The Long March," and "Set This House on Fire."

This is the first one-volume edition of two classic works, "Houdini's Escapes" (1930) and "Houdini's Magic" (1932). These books provided the most complete description available of Houdini's feats and how he performed them. Walter Gibson prepared them after Houdini's death in 1926, from the magician's private notebooks and with the assistance of his widow, Beatrice, and of Bernard Ernst, then president of the Society of American Magicians.
"It will soon become apparent to the reader that, although Houdini was daring, he never took an uncalculated risk. He would not accept a challenge unless he was sure he could meet it. He was physically fit, an athlete, and a strong swimmer. Yet his assistants were poised to rescue him if he didn't surface on schedule from an underwater box. A dozen less careful performers have been drowned, or seriously injured, because they attempted this feat without sufficient knowledge, or without taking the necessary precautions." -- Milbourne Christopher
Author Walter B. Gibson, after completing "Houdini's Escapes and Houdini's Magic" in the early 1930s, turned to fiction writing, creating the famed pulp hero of Lamont Cranston, also known as the Shadow. Under the pen name of Maxwell Grant, he wrote novel-length stories for "The Shadow Magazine" for more than fifteen years. These novels were adapted for the Shadow radio program and, today, they have been reprinted in paperback and hardcover editions. Under his own name, Walter Gibson has written many other books in the fields of magic, games and the occult.
The A. C. Gilbert Company was once one of the largest toy companies in the world. Alfred Carlton Gilbert (1884-1961) founded the company in 1909 as a company that provided supplies to magic shows. Then, in 1911, Gilbert invented the Erector Set and introduced it two years later. Beginning in 1922, A. C. Gilbert made chemistry sets and other sets for budding scientists. Microscope kits came in 1934, then a line of inexpensive reflector telescopes. In 1938, Gilbert purchased the American Flyer, a struggling manufacturer of toy trains. Gilbert re-designed the entire product line, producing 1:64 scale trains running on O gauge track. After WWII, Gilbert introduced S gauge model railroad kits. Although these new trains were popular, Lionel outsold American Flyer nearly 2 to 1. Once the largest employer in New Haven, Connecticut, the Gilbert Company struggled after the death of its founder in 1961 and went out of business in 1967. American Flyer was sold to Lionel. The brand name on its Erector Set and microscope products was retained by subsequent manufacturers. [Source: Wikipedia]

In “The Puppet Masters” secret agents battle parasitic invaders from outer space. The novel was originally serialized in Galaxy Science Fiction (September, October, November 1951). The book evokes a sense of paranoia later captured in the 1956 film “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” which had a similar premise – the invasion of mind-controlling parasites.
Heinlein’s original version of the novel was cut by some 40,000 words because it was deemed too long and risqué for the market in 1951. In 1990, two years after Heinlein’s death, an uncut version was published with the consent of his widow. In this uncut version, the story begins with Sam, the hero of the novel, waking up in bed with a blonde whom he had casually picked up the evening before, without even bothering to learn her name. In the uncut version, the “puppet masters” discover human sexuality and embark upon wild orgies broadcast live on TV in the areas under their control. [Source: Wikipedia]
This is the second book in Farmer's Riverworld series, a sequel to "To Your Scattered Bodies Go."
The planet was called Riverworld -- huge and mysterious, with one central river that flowed for countless thousands of miles from a hidden source to an unknown end. But worse than the violation of all known physical laws that the planet itself displayed was the mystery of how -- and why -- all humanity had been reborn along the shores of the great river. For reborn they were, every last soul, from the first prehistoric humans to the latter-day inhabitants of the Moon.
Sam Clemens is one who finds himself reborn on Riverworld, and with a shipload of reincarnated Vikings and a blood brother whose first life was spent hunting saber tooth tigers and mastodons, he has sailed the great river as he did the Mississippi of old. But his voyage comes to an untimely end when a great meteorite plunges into the stream and he is knocked unconscious. When he comes to, the mysterious aliens who for their own reasons established the Riverworld have contrived to repair all the damage caused by the disaster. Only now one new element has been introduced -- iron. And with iron at hand, Clemens can build his own paddle steamer, and on this fabulous riverboat he can make his epic journey to the headwaters of the river and the heart of the panet-sized mystery which is the Riverworld.
A television series loosely based on the Riverworld saga went into production for the Sci-Fi channel in 2001 but only the feature-length pilot episode Riverworld was completed. It was first aired in 2003. It used elements from "To Your Scattered Bodies Go" and "The Fabulous Riverboat." In 2010, a 4-hour TV movie, Riverworld was produced and released by Syfy (formerly The Sci-fi Channel) in the US and by Studio Universal elsewhere, written by Robert Hewitt Wolfe. The protagonist is Matt Ellman, an American war reporter, played by Tahmoh Penikett. The main villain is Richard Francis Burton, although in the books he is the protagonist and is written more as a hero than a villain.

From the blurb on the dust jacket:
"Messiah" by Gore Vidal will arouse anger and resentment in many people, it will shock them as "The Way of All Flesh" shocked them when it was first published; it will arouse argument and controversy, such as raged around Huxley's "Brave New World" and Orwell's "1984;" it will grip people while they read it and it will make them think.
Brain washing has become a recognized weapon; will soul washing come next? Will all the isms besetting humanity drive it into the arms of a new Messiah? Can television, advertising copy and high pressure publicity by exploiting man's inward religious urge lead him to anything, even death in preference to life? Can this happen here? Can it happen now?
These are some of the basic elements which make "Messiah" by Gore Vidal an absorbing, frightening and stimulating experience. This extraordinarily imaginative novel has a story of motion and action told in simple, economic words; it satirizes men and techniques, ridiculous in themselves, yet sinister in their intent and singleness of purpose; it gives a horribly real and vivid picture of a world that may come.

Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses (1836-1893) was a chief of the Oglala Sioux. He is known for his participation in Red Cloud’s War, as a negotiator for the Sioux Nation after the Wounded Knee Massacre, and for serving on delegations to Washington, D.C. Red Cloud’s War of 1866-1868 was the only Indian war to end in defeat for the United States and Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses served as an instrumental war leader during this conflict.
