Mendelson, Anne. Stand Facing the Stove
New York: Henry Holt, 1996. 0805029044 First edition Hardbound Very Good, very good dj
White hardcover with one quarter red cloth spine and bright blue titles, no bumps and clean; dust jacket lhas ight wrinkles along top, but no tears; tight binding and clean pages; One curiosity about this particular copy is that it was bound upside down. As I was growing up, The Joy of Cooking held a place of honor only exceeded by the family bible, and we may have consulted Madame Rombauer more often than the prophets. Mendelson has done a remarkable job of placing the struggles of the mother and daughter to publish and control their creation in the context of a changing America. This is social history, women's history and the story of American cooking and cookbook publishing.

How, then, did someone discover a chapter from his past that he thought was dead? Suddenly, Gus is fighting not only for his own career, but for the safety of his family. As Gus struggles to deflect the curiosity of the media and attacks from opponents, he is racing to win one of the most important votes in his life. Conveying the emotional and dramatic depth of each character, narrator Richard Ferrone draws you into a riveting story that could have leapt from the front page of The Washington Post.".

Mosley, Walter. Blue Light.
New York: Recorded Books, 1999, 1999. 078872911X Audio Book-tapes Very Good, No Jacket.
Very Good, No Jacket. In unabridged Library Edition; VHS-type case; 10.75 hours/8 cassettes; narrated by Richard Ferrone; "Blue Light offers both the mind-expanding concepts of the best science fiction and the satisfying elements of serious literature. Mosley’s fans will recognize the jazz-like prose, well- drawn characters, and subtle themes of race and identity that grace his best-selling mysteries. When a mysterious ray of blue light reaches the earth, it mutates all in its path. Those who can receive its azure radiance are suddenly transformed into god-like beings—the Blues. A young biracial man named Chance is captivated by their message of humanity’s cosmic destiny and documents their movement through the streets of 1960s San Francisco. Hypnotic prophets, messenger coyotes, and blood rituals are among the imaginative elements that Mosley weaves into this mystical work. The sci-fi thriller is especially compelling with Richard Ferrone’s gravelly baritone lending just the right shades of dark realism.". Ex-Library edition.
