No reading creases; as-new unread trade paperback, but with minor rub and wear to corners. Ellison's screenplay for Asimov's "unfilmable" classic would have been "The first really adult, complex, worthwhile science fiction movie ever made," author Asimov opined in 1987. ("Blade Runner" was 1982, fyi; "Back to the Future" was 1985.) The project was never filmed, in part (as Asimov notes in his introduction, actually written in 1987 for the three-part serialization in "Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine") because "the picture would have cost some $30 million to make," which was considered prohibitive, and in part because "The producers wanted Harlan to make the robots 'cute,' like R2-D2, and they also wanted him to make Susan Calvin young and pretty like Princess Leia." A 2004 Will Smith cop-detective vehicle about a robot rebellion used the title, though screen credits admitted the filmed "I, Robot" was merely "suggested" by Asimov's short story collection, while also using elements of his "Caves of Steel." The production budget? Um . . . $120 million. 275 pp. Reduced from $34.

DUST JACKET: Repaired; Moderately Creased; Heavily Chipped; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. A Novel. New York Times Bestselling Author of Exclusive. BOOK NUMBER: 15138. JACKET DESIGN BY: Andrew M. Newman. SYNOPSIS: Sandra Brown's acclaim and popularity continue to soar. With 50 million copies of her books in print worldwide, and 27 New York Times bestsellers in a row, Brown mesmerizes us with plots infused with passionate, brilliantly drawn characters. In her new blockbuster, she captures a seething world of corruption and desire in New Orleans, where a desperate man and a lonely woman are caught in a haunting drama that will reach its climax on . . . Fat Tuesday. It's the day of sin, when sexuality explodes on the streets and no one is who they seem. For a cop turned outlaw, and for a beautiful woman held captive in a loveless marriage, New Orleans's Mardi Gras will offer them their last chance for freedom - and each other. Burke Basile is the hard-bitten cop whose world shattered when a fellow officer died from a bullet fired from Burke's own handgun. When his unhappy marriage crumbles, and he has nothing left to lose, Burke focuses his rage on his nemesis: Pinkie Duvall, a sinister, flamboyant defense attorney who has just helped a known killer get away with another murder. Determined to bring the powerful Duvall down, Burke strikes at the attorney's most vulnerable spot: the gorgeous wife Duvall pampers but keeps prisoner, a woman whose love Pinkie will never have. Remy Duvall was destitute and at the mercy of New Orleans's streets before Duvall made her his trophy. When Burke strikes, taking Remy as his captive, it sets off a duel between the criminal lawyer and the ex-cop that explodes from the streets of the French Quarter and intensifies in the steamy swamps. For Burke, who is struggling with his own anguished spirit, his fight with Duvall is a matter of honor. But the one thing he could never have imagined is the passion that erupts between himself and Duvall's wife. As dozens of players - from the innocent to the corrupt - are drawn into the drama, Burke and Remy have one way out: through a desperate confrontation in the middle of Mardi Gras madness. A novel of wrenching emotion and relentless action, Fat Tuesday is Sandra Brown's most powerful novel to date - and a work that secures her place as an important contemporary fiction writer. Sandra Brown is the author of Exclusive, The Witness, Charade, and over twenty other bestsellers. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

DUST JACKET: Repaired; Lightly Creased; Lightly Chipped; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SUB-TITLE: B.B. & Jo The Story of a Lifelong Love; A Granddaughter's Portrait. BOOK NUMBER: 1195. SYNOPSIS: Grandma has said that in the history of their marriage there was never a day that Grandpa didn't tell her that he loved her. Grandpa would say, "There was a man who told his wife, 'If ever I don't love you I'll tell you.' But that is not us. I think we should be using those three words every day. I love you." In 1928 Josie Lou Lydia Walker was thirty-two years old. Everyone assumed she would be a spinster. She had grown up poor in Oklahoma, worked her way through college, and been ordained as a minister, traveling from Oklahoma to Kentucky to Missouri setting up religious education programs. World War I veteran B. B. Blakey, co-owner of a Tulsa, Oklahoma, hardware store, was thirty-three and had broken off an engagement with a local beauty. Having second thoughts, he went to Enid, Oklahoma, to see her at the home of friends - and one Josie Walker opened the door. B. B. and Josie would write over seven hundred letters to each other over the next year and a half as they fell deeply in love. As Josie traveled through a more innocent America, B. B.'s letters marked "Personal" and "Special Delivery" found her in small towns and train stops. Now this wonderful exchange of writing, so filled with the joy of discovering each other, is collected here by B. B. and Jo's granddaughter, award-winning photographer Keri Pickett. Along with their commentary on love, marriage, and family, she shows us a relationship most people only dream about - and to which all of us aspire. Rich, giving, and passionate, the love of Josie and B. B. comes to life on these pages. Wonderful photographs of them into their nineties capture their emotions so eloquently and poignantly that they touch our hearts and make us witnesses to a lifelong love that time only deepens, and death cannot end. Love in the 90s is an inspiring book to read, cherish, and share with family, lovers, and friends. Keri Pickett, winner of a Bush Foundation Fellowship, Jerome Foundation Grant, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and other prestigious awards, is a regular contributor to People magazine and other national publications. Her photographs of her grandparents have been featured in Life, The Village Voice, and the Utne Reader. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

Now, for the first time the whole story of the pursuit and prosecution of Aileen Wuornos, serial killer. With 8 pages of photos. COVER PHOTO CREDITS BY: Sipa Press, Tony Stone Worldwide, and Panoramic Images. COVER DESIGN BY: Elaine Groh. SYNOPSIS: New Interstate 95 in the heart of Florida, Aileen Wuornos murders an unlucky salesman--and begins a 12-month killing spree that leaves seven and possibly more victims in its wake. Wuornos' method is always the same: she lures her targets with hard-luck stories and sometimes the promise of sex, then guns them down with a .22 pistol. A high-school dropout and a drifter intimate with the criminal violence of a life without boundaries, she fuels her action with alcohol and mounting rage. Yet she successfully leads an intensive police hunt into bloody dead ends for over a year. This is the true and complete story of that rarest of criminals, a female serial killer. Written by the reporter who broke the story and followed it to the guilty verdict and beyond, it paints a sociopathic, male-dominated world where Aileen Wuornos and her lesbian lover were to fall victim to Wuornos' poisoned, obsessive drive to murder, and murder again. - and - It's real-life police drama with true detective heroes on the hunt. It's the tale of one woman roaming the back roads of a society she can never join. It's a story of victims, all white, middle-aged men--a VCR salesman, two truck drivers, an ex-police chief, and an evangelist. It's DEAD ENDS. And it paints a sociopathic, male-dominated world where Aileen Wuornos carried on a lesbian love affair for over six years--and was obsessively driven to murder, and murder again. From award-winning journalist Michael Reynolds who has covered major crime stories for many top newspapers and magazines, this true crime story is soon to be a feature motion picture. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall.

SYNOPSIS: Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov were the most celebrated pairs skaters of all time. Partners in life as well as on the ice, they were rarely apart. Then, tragically, Sergei died at the age of twenty-eight. Now in her own words, his wife, Katia, tells their remarkable story, in this loving tribute to the exceptional man she idolized, whom she called.My Sergei. They were two mismatched kids teamed by the Soviet regime to perform for the good of the state. She was a tiny, serios girl of eleven; he was a fun-loving boy of fifteen. But they were talented and dedicated, and together they won four World Championships, two Olympic gold medals--and the hearts of millions of fans. Somewhere along the way, between training and competing, the couple fell madly in love, discovering the kind of profound relationship few ever find. Gordeeva and Grinkov (G & G as they were affectionately known) managed to parlay their intense emotions for each other into an exquisite, passionate skating style--one that became even more luminous after the birth of their daughter. Then, without warning, on November 20, 1995, Sergei suffered a fatal heart attack during a routine training session. Katia's dreams lay shattered. They had skated together for fourteen years and Sergei had been her protector. Kata, innocent in the ways of the world, was left to fend for herself and three-year-old Daria. In My Sergei, Kata recalls her story-book romance with Sergei: from first kiss in Russia to young love in Paris.from solemn marriage vows in Moscow to joyous parenthood in America. She tells of Sergei's ideals and aspirations. She shares their experiences as skaters, offering a candid look at the demanding world of the ice arena and its thrilling stars. And she speaks eloquently of Sergei's death and her battle to overcome grief, build a new life for herself and Daria, and summon the courage to skate again.alone. My Sergei is a touching memoir of happiness remembered, great love lost, and insight gained. Over seventy-five vivid color and black-and-white photographs, many from Katia's private collection, enhance this love letter--a book to be cherished by anyone who savors a dramatic romance and everyone whose heart skips a beat when an Olympic skater leaps above the ice for a chance at glory. E. M. Swift is a senior writer at Sports Illustrated, where he has worked for the past eighteen years. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

JACKET DESIGN BY: Andrew Newman. SYNOPSIS: Imagine that your three young children disappear.that your husband has kidnapped them with the help of an international fundamentalist community thousands strong.and that it will take all your resolve, courage, finances--and more than six years of your life---to get your children back. Now, with the collaboration of the co-authors of Not Without My Daughter, a mother tells her incredible but totally true story. Patsy Heymans was an innocent teenager when she met Chaim Yarden. The cocky, handsome Israeli soldier immediately swept her off her feet, and almost before she knew it, Heymans was married to him, living in Israel, and the mother of three young children. But her life was far from idyllic. Her charismatic husband had a dark side that included a criminal record and a violent temper. Finally, after years of physical and emotional abuse, Heymans and her children fled to her parents' home in Belgium--her husband's warning ringing in her ears: "Whatever it takes, whatever it will cost, I will destroy your life." He proved as good as his word. After their separation, her formerly nonreligious spouse joined the Satmar Hasidim, one of the most insular groups within the cloistered world of Hasidic Jews. With the help of his new confederates, he kidnapped his children, shuttling them through a self-contained and sprawling religious community. To get them back, Heymans would begin a tireless, heart-wrenching search across Europe and, ultimately, through the streets and suburbs of New York City. Shunned by the Satmars, yet armed with a mother's fierce desperation, Heymans single-handedly and painstakingly marshalled the forces of American and international low enforcement. Battling impossible odds, she finally found herself at the moment that would bring her to the end of her odyssey and to the turning point of her entire life: a closed door suddenly open, a hand on her hand, gently nudging her forward. Already a bestselling sensation in Europe, Torn from My Heart is a riveting true-life adventure, a chilling inside look into a culture of religious fundamentalists, and a dramatic testament to the indomitable power of a mother's love. Patsy Heymans, now the mother of five children, lives in Belgium with her reunited family. William and Marilyn Hoffer have written or collaborated on many successful books, including such international bestsellers as Not Without My Daughter and Midnight Express.

SYNOPSIS: They are the most chronicled family on the face of the globe. Their every move attracts headlines. Scores of books have tried and failed to penetrate the royal façade. Now Kitty Kelley, bestselling author of Nancy Reagan: The Unauthorized Biography and His Way: The Unauthorized Biography of Frank Sinatra, has gone behind palace walls to provide the first three-dimensional, comprehensive, and even-handed portrait of the men and women who make up the British royal family. Kelley, the most fearless biographer of our time, spent more than four years investigating the royal family. In addition to meticulous research into documented sources, she conducted hundreds of exclusive interviews with past and present employees of the royal household, royal friends and relations, courtiers, members of Parliament, and other intimate observers. The author has unveiled and examined the private and public lives of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, Prince Philip, Prince Charles, Princess Diana, Prince Andrew, and Sarah, the Duchess of York, as well as their forebears and predecessors, as no other biographer has been able to do. Kitty Kelley has raised the curtain on this most secretive family. Here are lonely royal children brought up without a proper education in isolated and artificial surroundings, twentieth-century adolescents with nineteenth-century touchstones. Here are the sexual ambiguities, the alcoholism, gambling, and womanizing that were common in the House of Windsor long before Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer. No one is spared; here are the scandals of the last decades: the doomed marriages and the husbands, wives, lovers, and children caught in their wake and damaged beyond repair. Illuminating the Windsors' arrogance, naïveté, and lusts as well as hard work, dedication, and ability survive the most humiliating disclosures, The Royals is Kitty Kelley's richest, most iconoclastic, historically significant, and compelling book. She smashes the images created by palace bureaucrats and perpetuated by our own fantasies. Yet she introduces readers to people they can understand and will never forget. Kitty Kelley is an internationally acclaimed writer whose last book, Nancy Reagan: The Unauthorized Biography, sold faster than any biography in publishing history. Before that her book about Frank Sinatra, His Way, set another publishing record as the biggest-selling biography. Jackie Oh! and Elizabeth Taylor: The Last Star were also international bestsellers. Kelley, who has been honored by her peers, received the 1987 Outstanding Author Award from the American Society of Journalists and Authors "for her courageous writing on popular culture," She also received the Philip M. Stern Award from Washington Independent Writers for "her outstanding service to writers and the writing profession" as well as the Medal of Merit from the Lotos Club of New York City. In 1993 Brandeis University National Women's Committee established a major book collection in her honor. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

SYNOPSIS: Every night we visit a fantastic realm where impossible things happen--and we receive one of life's most precious and most under-valued gifts: our dreams. Creative inspirations, keys to understanding our past and our problems, links to the shared consciousness of all humankind . . . dreams are nothing short of miraculous. As the author of this deeply moving and illuminating book explains, "All dreams come in the service of health and wholeness . . . and no dream ever comes to tell you what you already know." For over twenty years Jeremy Taylor has studied dreams from all points of view: psychological, biological, social, and spiritual. He has worked with thousands of people from all walks of life both individually and in dream groups. Now, in Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill, he shares his wisdom and his discoveries in a comprehensive book that reveals the universal symbolism of dreams, how to reap the rich harvest of our own nightly visitations, and how working together in dream groups can bring about healing, growth, and enlightenment. With Taylor, we witness the drama of actual case histories: we see one woman discover, through a disturbing dream, the deadly cancer that her doctors had missed, and watch another face the sexual abuse she had repressed for decades. We go into San Quentin to participate in a group that transformed a convict's life, and in a very different setting we see how the remarkable perceptions caught in a tiny fragment of a young seminarian's dream radically altered his fate. Jeremy Taylor shows us how to recognize the "aha" reaction that characterizes the moment when we begin to grasp what a dream truly is telling us. He explores the many levels of symbolism and presence of archetypes. And he provides specific, hands-on techniques to help us remember and interpret our dreams, establish and run a dream group, and much more. From dealing with recurrent nightmares to fighting subconscious racism to illuminating how dreams connect us to all living things and even the Divine, Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill is a life-changing and potentially world-changing work . . . an unforgettable journey in the knowable unknown. Jeremy Taylor is a Unitarian Universalist minster and co-founder of the Association for the Study of Dreams. The author of many books on the subject, he has taught dream work at the Star King School for the ministry and many other schools in the San Francisco Bay area. He regularly conducts dream-work groups for public and private organizations. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
