New York: Picador, 2004, later printing number line ending in 17 of the First Picador edition, 223pp., . "Giving Up the Ghost opens in 1955 with 'A Second Home', in which Mantel describes the death of her stepfather, a death which leaves her deeply troubled by the unresolved events of childhood. 'Now Geoffrey Don't Torment Her' begins in typical, gripping Mantel fashion: 'Two of my relatives have died by fire.' Set during the 1950s, it takes the reader into the muffled consciousness of her early childhood, culminating with the birth of a younger brother and the strange candlelit ceremony of her mother's 'churching'. Mantel then moves to a haunted house and mysteriously gains a stepfather. When she is almost eleven, her family flee the gossips and the ghosts, and resolve to start a new life. Teenage perplexity displaces childhood dreams of Arthurian knights as her home turns into a place where the keeping of secrets has become a way of life. Convent school provides a certain sanctuary, with tacit assistance from the fearsome 'Top Nun'. After making good her escape to university and her own marriage, the author reveals how, through medical misunderstanding and neglect, she came to be childless, and how the ghosts of the unborn, like chances missed of pages unturned, have come to haunt her life as a writer.". 9780312423629 ISBN 0312423624 8.00.

PICK-GOSLAR, HANNAH. My friend Anne Frank: the inspiring and heartbreaking true story of best friends torn apart and reunited against all odds. With Dina Kraft. New York: Little, Brown Spark, 2023, stated First North American edition, and Printing I, 2023, 313pp., . "In 1933, Hannah Pick-Goslar and her family fled Nazi Germany to live in Amsterdam, where she struck up a close friendship with her next-door neighbor, an outspoken and fun-loving young girl named Anne Frank. For several years, the inseparable pair enjoyed a carefree childhood of games, sleepovers, and treats with the other children in their neighborhood of Rivierenbuurt. But in 1942, Hannah and Anne's lives abruptly changed forever. As the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam progressed, Anne and the Frank family seemingly vanished, leaving behind unmade beds and dishes in the sink--but no trace of Anne's precious diary. Torn from her dear friend without warning, Hannah spent the next two years tormented by questions about Anne's fate, wondering if she had, by some miracle, managed to escape danger. In this long-awaited memoir, Hannah shares the story of her childhood during the Holocaust, from the introduction of anti-Jewish laws in Amsterdam to the gradual disappearance of classmates and, eventually, the Frank family, to Hannah and her family's imprisonment in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. As Hannah chronicles the experiences of her own life during and after the war, she provides a searing look at what countless children endured at the hands of the Nazi regime, as well as an intimate, never-before-seen portrait of the most recognizable victim of the Holocaust. Culminating in an astonishing fateful reunion, My Friend Anne Frank is the profoundly moving story of childhood and friendship during one of the darkest periods in the world's history".

Boston: Beacon Press, 1999, 1st printing number line ending with 1, 239pp., . "In the months approaching his retirement, writing instructor Carl Klaus felt increasing anxiety about what lay ahead. "Given such an unsettling state of mind, I decided to start keeping a diary, a diary that might help me work my way through the anguish and anxiety, through the bitter-sweet feelings, so that I could genuinely take retirement rather than feel as if it were taking me unawares." "The result is this original and intimate account of a subject rarely explored in literary writing. With quiet courage, Klaus embarks upon the emotional work of retiring from a lifetime of teaching - a difficult task for someone whose sense of self is so strongly tied to his role as a mentor. Taking Retirement offers many charms: the lively give-and-take between Klaus and his witty wife, Kate; stories of how colleagues, neighbors, and relatives are handling retirement; and his chronicle of a revelatory trip to the Canadian and American Rockies.". 9780807072189 ISBN 0807072184.

Bill Russell with Alan Steinberg. New York: HarperCollins, 2009, stated First Edition, and 1st printing number line ending in 1, xvi, 187pp., . Basketball legend Bill Russell pays homage to his mentor and coach, the inimitable Red Auerbach, in this story of an unlikely and enduring friendship set against the backdrop of the greatest basketball dynasty in NBA history. When Bill Russell joined the Boston Celtics in 1957 as the nation's first prominent black basketball star, he was not expecting much from his coach. Despite two national college championships and an Olympic gold medal, Russell's previous coaches--all whites--had barely spoken to him. Russell's style was unorthodox, redefining the meaning of defense and offense, and many scouts dismissed him. Yet Auerbach, the Jewish outsider in Irish Boston, immediately took to Russell, the African American from Louisiana and Oakland, and he was a coach like no other. Together they made sports history, battled prejudice both on and off the court, created a team chemistry for the ages--and became lifelong friends. ISBN 9780061766145.
