The novel was inspired by a 1949 case of demonic possession and exorcism that Blatty heard about while he was a student at Georgetown University. As a result, the novel takes place in Washington D.C. near the campus of Georgetown University. It's a classic work and the basis for the horror movie, "The Exorcist," directed by William Friedkin and starring Linda Blair, Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, and Jason Miller. Released in 1973, the film was nominated for 8 Oscars and won 2 of them for best sound and best writing.

The Exorcist steps in Georgetown became famous for being featured in the film "The Exorcist." The stone steps at the corner of Prospect St NW and 36th St NW leading down to M Street NW in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. were padded with 1/2"-thick rubber to film the death of the character Father Karras. Because the house from which Karras falls was set back slightly from the steps, the film crew constructed an extension with a false front to the house in order to film the scene. The stuntman tumbled down the stairs twice. Georgetown University students charged people around $5 each to watch the stunt from the rooftops.

A hallucinatory novel from the late Brian Aldiss. Published in 1969 by Faber and Faber. I'm re-reading it now for the first time in 25 years. I have a lot of first editions of his books plus a signed copy of The Twinkling of an Eye. He was a good writer. I liked his work a lot. Goodbye Brian.

"In the emotion-charged atmosphere of mid-nineteenth-century America “Uncle Tom's Cabin” exploded like a bombshell. To those engaged in fighting slavery it appeared as an indictment of all the evils inherent in the system they opposed; to the pro-slavery forces it was a slanderous attack on 'the Southern way of life.' Whatever its weakness as a literary work -- structural looseness and excess of sentiment among them - the social impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin on the United States was greater than of any book before or since." (Source: Printing and the Mind of Man).
When Abraham Lincoln met its author at the White House in 1862, he is said to have exclaimed, “So this is the little lady who made this big war?” For Harriet Beecher Stowe, the battle against slavery was a God-ordained crusade to cleanse the United States of an evil affront to humanity. Stowe presented her story in the style of popular works of the day, melodramatically and with religious undertones, but the themes of the novel – the breaking up of families, violence, the naive idea of a return to Africa – are historically significant. Stowe had not only witnessed incidents like the ones described in her novel, but had long been concerned about slavery, having read the autobiographies of Frederick Douglass and Louis Clark, as well as the abolitionist tracts.
When the Fugitive Slave Act was passed in 1850, Stowe began writing “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” It first appeared in serial installments in the abolitionist newspaper “The National Era.” Boston publisher John P. Jewett published the novel in book form on March 20, 1852, two installments before the conclusion of the serial in “The National Era.” The initial printing of the book sold out immediately upon publication and the book went through continual reissue for years. The book eventually sold more copies in the 19th century than any other book except the Bible. The Fugitive Slave Act, in combination with her book, were arguably the catalysts for the Civil War, as even Lincoln implied upon meeting Stowe.
This guy has a pretty awesome transformation sequence - great engineering. I'm not a huge fan of Bayformers (the Michael Bay movie version of The Transformers), but I really like the Transformers: Prime show. It seems to strike a nice balance between Bayformers and G1.
I'm glad Hasbro made this Voyager Class version of Optimus, because I really didn't like the design of the Deluxe Class one... Still waiting for Megatron!

“The Gift” was an annual literary anthology published in a gift book format for the years 1836, 1837, 1839, 1840, and 1842-1845. Each book was published by Carey & Hart of Philadelphia in the fall of the year prior to the date given in the title, so that The Gift for 1836 was actually issued in October of 1835. Five of the gift books include new tales by Edgar Allan Poe – “Manuscript Found in a Bottle” (1836), “William Wilson” (1840), “Eleonora” (1842), “The Pit and the Pendulum” (1843), and “The Purloined Letter” (1845).
While attempting to escape a civil war, four people are kidnapped and transported to the Tibetan mountains. After their plane crashes, they are found by a mysterious Chinese man. He leads them to a monastery hidden in "the valley of the blue moon" -- a land of mystery and matchless beauty. The book was turned into a movie, also called Lost Horizon, by director Frank Capra in 1937. It is best remembered as the origin of Shangri-La, a fictional utopian lamasery high in the mountains of Tibet.

Early examples of the famous and popular Ian Allan "ABC" series these for the locomotives of the Great Western Railway. Ian Allan was employed by the Southern Railway and with some 'official' backing (and some opposition!) he compiled and personally published the first ABC, for the Southern, in 1942.
His second publication was that for the Great Western Railway, seen here in a plain cover, and that is dated August 1943. The foreword notes that due to wartime shortages of staff regretably the publication has not been checked officially by the GWR but Allan was keen to issue it and the matching volumes for the LMSR and LNER he had in preparation. Later editions began to have covers with scraperboard/Windsor Board illustrations - latterly many were by artist A. N. Wolstenholme but these ealry examples appear uncredited.
It is slightly remarkable that these were issued in wartime conditions what with paper and printing ink shortages and, in the early years, some official concern I suspect about the publication of even basic information regarding such a vital part of the war effort. Ian Allan went on to great success in post-war years tapping into a readership of younger people as well as of older 'train spotters' for whom such railway and transport activities were highly popular pastimes.

Close call!
We shot several lots of cool old books this afternoon while the crisp fall days are still hanging on and the light is just perfect.
A quick bit of Google research at my desk showed me that the dark blue book with the orangy title to be no ordinary used book, but a genuine 1927 first edition copy of Sinclair Lewis's famous work; Elmer Gantry!
In the first edition, the first letter of Gantry looks like the letter "C" and it's worth a nice chunk of change. Cool!
Who'da thunk it?
