Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. When Jill McCorkle feels a short story coming on, she goes right ahead and wastes wonderful ideas instead of hoarding them for a novel. The result is another extraordinary collection of stories and characters. In It's a Funeral RSVP, the storyteller is a woman who takes up self-styled careers that suit her circumstances.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. A fascinating account of an extraordinary moment in the life of the United States. --The New York Times With the world currently in the grips of a financial crisis unlike anything since the Great Depression, Nothing to Fear could not be timelier. This acclaimed work of history brings to life Franklin Roosevelt's first hundred days in office, when he and his inner circle launched the New Deal, forever reinventing the role of the federal government.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Exciting adventures for early readers Written for reading levels 2.0-2.8, the Circle C Beginnings series combines fun illustrations and six-year-old Andi's signature curiosity. In book four, Andi didn't think she was afraid of anything--until now. School means being away from the ranch, away from her family, and away from Taffy.
