Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Exploding from the pages of Horror, Humor, and Heroes Volume One - it's the full length adventures of the one and only Mechani-Cal So grab your battlesuit and prepare to get a little nasty. Being a supervillain means never having to say you're sorry . Unless it's to the judge or the parole board. Even then, you don't really have to. It's not like it's going to change the outcome or anything. Those are the words of Calvin Matthew Stringel, better known as Mechani-Cal. He's a down on his luck armored villain.

Immerse yourself in epic battles and see what it's like to be an outsider looking in at a world that few have ever experienced. Climb into Cal's battlesuit and join him on his journey. Will he avoid selling out his principles for a paycheck and a pardon? Can he resist the camaraderie of being on a super team?

Hardback. Zustand: Good. When a wonderful new book arrives at the library, at first it is loved by all, checked out constantly, and rarely spends a night on the library shelf. But over time it grows old and worn, and the children lose interest in its story. The book is sent to the library's basement where the other faded books live. How it eventually finds an honored place on a little girl's bookshelf--and in her heart--makes for an unforgettable story sure to enchant anyone who has ever cherished a book. Kate Bernheimer and Chris Sheban have teamed up to create a picture book that promises to be loved every bit as much as the lonely book itself. Sheban, Chris (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Fairy tales and their exaggerated characters, from the evil stepmother to the virginal bride, have been a resonant chord throughout Western culture, providing provocative challenges to and mirrors of women's complex sense of themselves - and the expectations of the world around them. In Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Kate Bernheimer brings together twenty-four of our foremost contemporary women writers to discuss, in poetic narratives, evocative personal histories, and penetrating essays, how the fairy tales we all grew up with - from Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood to Bluebeard and The Princess and the Pea - have affected their emotional lives, their work, and the culture they live in. For some of the writers, fairy tales were their first formative experience of literature, and several turned to fairy tales in creating their own fiction as adults. Others rebelled utterly at the cultural stereotypes and the roles assigned to women in these tales, and in their essays explore the impact such fairy tales have had on our mores and thinking.…
