"The best-loved poems from one of American literature's most towering figures. No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. From 'The Road Not Taken' to 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,' he refined and even defined our sense of what poetry is and what it can do. T. S. Eliot judged him 'the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living,' and he is the only writer in history to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes. Henry Holt is proud to announce the republication of four editions of Frost's most beloved work for a new generation of poets and readers. In this brilliant selection of Frost's classic poems, students and scholars alike will encounter a body of work central to American culture. / Robert Frost (1874-1963) is widely regarded as one of America's finest poets. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry on four different occasions, and also served as Consultant in Poetry at the Library of Congress." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Edition First Printing Stated. 248 Pages. Covers show normal use (not abuse) for a book read a few times. No marks or stamps and interior text pages are white and clean. Americans' working lives are growing more precarious every day. Corporations slash employees by the thousands, and the benefits and pensions once guaranteed by middle-class jobs are a thing of the past. In Bait and Switch, Barbara Ehrenreich goes undercover again, as she did in Nickel and Dimed, this time exploring another hidden realm of the economy: the shadowy world of the white-collar unemployed. Armed with the plausible resume of a professional in transition, she attempts to land a middle- class job. She submits to career coaching, personality testing, and a series of EST-like boot camps. She attends job fairs, networking events, and evangelical job search ministries. She is proselytized, scammed, lectured, and-again and again-rejected. Bait and Switch charts the increasingly common fate of people who have done everything right-gotten college degrees, developed marketable skills, and built up impressive resumes-yet still fall prey to financial disaster, as today's ultra-lean corporations take pride in shedding surplus employees. There are few social supports for these newly disposable workers, Ehrenreich finds, and little security even for those who have jobs. Worst of all, rather than faulting the harsh new economy, the jobless are persuaded that they have only themselves to blame. Contents in Eight Chapters: Finding a Coach in the Land of Oz, Stepping Out into the World of Networking, Surviving Boot Camp, The Transformation, Networking with the Lord, Aiming Higher, In Which I Am Offered a Job, and Downward Mobility.

Stated First Edition. Fine DJ. A fine copy of the first printing. "From the bestselling author of Los Alamos and The Good German comes a riveting tale of love, revenge and murder set in postwar Venice. It is 1946, and a stunned Europe is beginning its slow recovery from the ravages of World War II. Adam Miller has come to Venice to visit his widowed mother and try to forget the horrors he has witnessed as a U.S. Army war crimes investigator in Germany. Nothing has changed in Venice-not the beautiful palazzi, not the violins at Florian's, not the shifting water that makes the city, untouched by bombs, still seem a dream. But when Adam falls in love with Claudia, a Jewish woman scarred by her devastating experiences during the war, he is forced to confront another Venice, a city still at war with itself, haunted by atrocities it would rather forget. Everyone, he discovers, has been compromised by the Occupation-the international set drinking at Harry's, the police who kept order for the Germans, and most of all Gianni Maglione, the suave and enigmatic Venetian who happens to be his mother's new suitor. And when, finally, the troubled past erupts in violent murder, Adam finds himself at the center of a web of deception, intrigue, and unexpected moral dilemmas. When is murder acceptable? What are the limits of guilt? How much is someone willing to pay for a perfect alibi? Using the piazzas and canals of Venice as an enthralling but sinister backdrop, Joseph Kanon has again written a gripping historical thriller. Alibi is at once a murder mystery, a love story, and a superbly crafted novel about the nature of moral responsibility. / Joseph Kanon is the author of three novels, The Good German, Los Alamos, and The Prodigal Spy. Before becoming a full-time writer, he was a book publishing executive. He lives in New York City." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. SIGNED. Collectible.

First American edition. Using games by Kramnik, Shirov, Nunn and Kasparov, and complete illustrative games to highlight the key ideas, this book offers an examination of one of the most dramatic forms of defence in chess. In the Sveshnikov Sicilian, Black aims for maximum piece activity at the cost of a shattered pawn structure, seeking to seize the initiative regardless of cost. If Black is successful, the pawns will look after themselves. On the other hand, White is aiming to use Black's weaknesses as springboards for an attack of his own.

The slashing attacks introduced by the move Bc4 in the Sicilian were a trademark of Bobby Fischer at his best. White's plan is simple: root out the black king and play for mate. This vintage weapon formed the spearhead of Nigel Short's valiant challenge for the World title. Under the onslaught, Garry Kasparov's trusty Najdorf looked increasingly battle-weary as the Englishman punched hole after hole in the Russian's defences, and king-hunt followed king-hunt. This book is a guide to winning with the Fischer-Sozin attack. Condition: Light edge wear else near fine.

Paperback. Condition: Very good. First Paperback Edition. Octavo; pp; (x), 509; original printed pictorial wrappers, paperback; The seventies are over. All across America, the overgrown kids of the middle class are getting their acts together--and getting older. The once-tight Chicano community of Chamisaville is long gone, and the Anglo power brokers control almost everything. Joe Miniver--faithful husband, loving father, and all-around good guyâ"is about to sink roots. To buy the land he wants, he dreams up a coke scam that will net him the necessary bread. Joe is also about to embark on a series of erotic adventures with three headstrong women, bringing him face-to-face with the terrors (and absurdity) of the modern man-woman scene. This final volume in the New Mexico trilogy, like its predecessors, is a lusty, visionary novel that blends comedy and tragedy, reality and fantasy, tenderness and bite, to illuminate some very troubling truths about America--truths no less pointed and accurate today than they were twenty years ago.

Dust jacket with a creased back flap. "Based on exclusive, unprecedented access, the definitive biography of Sir Laurence Olivier, the dashing, self-invented Englishman who became the greatest actor of the twentieth century. Sir Laurence Olivier met everyone, knew everyone, and played every role in existence. But Olivier was as elusive in life as he was on the stage, a bold and practiced pretender who changed names, altered his identity, and defied characterization. In this mesmerizing book, acclaimed biographer Terry Coleman draws for the first time on the vast archive of Olivier's private papers and correspondence, and those of his family, finally uncovering the history and the private self that Olivier worked so masterfully all his life to obscure. Beginning with the death of his mother at age eleven, Olivier was defined throughout his life by a passionate devotion to the women closest to him. Acting and sex were for him inseparable: through famous romances with Vivien Leigh and Joan Plowright and countless trysts with lesser-known mistresses, these relationships were constantly entangled with his stage work, each feeding the other and driving Olivier to greater heights. And the heights were great: at every step he was surrounded by the foremost celebrities of the time, on both sides of the Atlantic--Richard Burton, Greta Garbo, William Wyler, Katharine Hepburn. The list is as long as it is dazzling. / Terry Coleman, who was selected by the Olivier estate to write Laurence Olivier's biography, is a historian, novelist, and journalist. As special correspondent for The Guardian of London, he reported from seventy countries and interviewed eight prime ministers. His previous books include, most recently, The Nelson Touch, a biography of Horatio Nelson. He lives in London." - Publisher. Size: 8vo.
