Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Assumed First Edition. 32 Pages. Two men in their sixties have claimed the crop circle as theirs - a hoax dreamed up many years ago over a pint at the pub. Stapled pictorial wraps. They have appeared in rice paddies and cornfields, in pine forests and mountain snow. They are complex works of art on a grand scale, yet these mysterious circles are thought to be a hoax.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. From the back cover: This is a warm, humorous, folksy, insightful book that will evoke many nostalgic memories in anyone who grew up in an immigrant, primarily ethnic and/or religious community or who has heard tales about life in such a close-knit enclave from grandparents or parents. Booker writes about her formative years in the South Philadelphia Jewish Community; much of what she describes is similar to what life was like then and is like now in myriad Jewish, Italian, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Russian, Polish and other immigrant communities. The close family ties, the holiday and special event rituals, the centrality of food at gatherings as an expression of love, the importance of religious and cultural values and heritage and so much more is similar across many of these communities. This book is a gem that will resonate with numerous Americans whose roots have began when several generations of their relatives landed on Ellis Island. Across From the Alley Next Door to the Pool Room in engaging, fun, and informative reading.".…
