Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Undated but likely 1973, listing an 8-digit "SBN" rather than an ISBN. A flamboyant and highly talented entertainer, Liberace could not easily be parodied because he was already doing it, himself. Of course the act was kitsch; he knew that. And he also knew what worked. There's much of interest, here, but of course what's omitted is enormous -- even if the publishers promise a "candid" account -- "Here we read the entire personal story." A photo caption tell us "A back injury kept Lee from joining (the) Seabees with George; didn't stop him from entertaining at USO's and in veterans' hospitals." Is spina bifida a "back injury"? And of course there's the whole final chapter on "why I have never married," stringing out the tales of prospective brides who "just didn't work out," including "lovely young heiress Frances Goodrich," whose family "wanted me to quit my show business carer and take over the management of their citrus holdings. Obviously that romance was not sun-kissed." (The prospective father-in-law wanted a man who presumably didn't know how to hold a seedling right-side-up to forgo a million-dollar show-biz career to take over his agricultural holdings?) As late as the 1970s, this wealthy and successful man couldn't simply say, "Because I'm gay, of course; get over it." Photo illustrations on glossy stock but all in B&W. 316 pp. Reduced from $22.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 63 pp, 11 1/4" H. B&w photographs, reproductions. "Here is a wealth of fascinating history, going back to the time when Dominion Square was a cemetery outside Montreal. Dr. Collard tells the story of the square's famous buildings, past and present. We visit a political rally when Sir John A. Macdonald was mobbed; we see the Winter Carnival's crowning spectacle, the storming of the Ice Palace. The 'principal presence' in the square is the Sun Life head office, one of the most massive office buildings in the world. For a number of seasons this huge structure served as the nesting place of a pair of falcons, who evidently mistook it for a mountain. And during the war it was the custodian of the securities of the British Government. Its giant carillon, once 'the Voice of Expo', can be heard every day in a twenty-minute concert. In 1966 the southern half of the square was renamed Place du Canada, and bordering it arose the C.P.R.'s modern and beautiful Chateaux Champlain and plaza, joined to the square by a wide pedestrian arch. To read (this) book is to visit the historic heart of Canada's greatest metropolis." Very minor edge wear, small light scuff mark on front panel. Dust jacket has three edge tears archivally taped, light wear/wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds.

First Edition
Paperback. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Like New - Unread Copy - 1St Canadian Edition - With Minor Shelf Wear To Edges. - For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. - In Othello, Shakespeare Creates A Powerful Drama Of A Marriage That Begins With Fascination (Between The Exotic Moor Othello And The Venetian Lady Desdemona), With Elopement, And With Intense Mutual Devotion And That Ends Precipitately With Jealous Rage And Violent Deaths. He Sets This Story In The Romantic World Of The Mediterranean, Moving The Action From Venice To The Island Of Cyprus And Giving It An Even More Exotic Coloring With Stories Of Othello's African Past. Shakespeare Builds So Many Differences Into His Hero And Heroine?Differences Of Race, Of Age, Of Cultural Background?That One Should Not, Perhaps, Be Surprised That The Marriage Ends Disastrously. But Most People Who See Or Read The Play Feel That The Love That The Play Presents Between Othello And Desdemona Is So Strong That It Would Have Overcome All These Differences Were It Not For The Words And Actions Of Othello's Standard-Bearer, Iago, Who Hates Othello And Sets Out To Destroy Him By Destroying His Love For Desdemona. As Othello Succumbs To Iago's Insinuations That Desdemona Is Unfaithful, Fascination?Which Dominates The Early Acts Of The Play?Turns To Horror, Especially For The Audience. We Are Confronted By Spectacles Of A Generous And Trusting Othello In The Grip Of Iago's Schemes; Of An Innocent Desdemona, Who Has Given Herself Up Entirely To Her Love For Othello Only To Be Subjected To His Horrifying Verbal And Physical Assaults, The Outcome Of Othello's Mistaken Convictions About Her Faithlessness.
