Paperback. Condition: Good. The Crown of Happenstance tells the story of a search for something which might not even exist but is wanted badly by various people on Earth and by the people of Shonak. It is rumored to confer god-like powers on whoever wears it. This story details two serious efforts to find and exploit the Crown. The Shonakian named Bon, who is that planet's senior representative on Earth, is after the Crown in order to reach ever higher vibrations of existence. They think that's where thought-creation can be achieved, and they would be delighted if they could simply think things into existence They sent three vibration changing scout ships to the resonance above Earth, Plus-Six, but they all disappeared. They're desperate to find out what happened to their scouts because they cannot abide unanswered questions. The other searcher for the Crown is Atsa, a religious proto-Hopi from the desert southwest at a time on Earth, 1000 BCE, when there is no science, no understanding of Earth as a round planet circling the sun, nothing but scattered populations of people doing their best to survive. Atsa wants the crown so he can improve the lives of his clan and to help spread his clan's desire for love and peace. Bon and Atsa form a partnership of sorts to find the Crown. They share many adventures and establish the first true friendship between the two planets. Their vibrational difference prohibits any physical contact, so Bon remains in his artificiallymaintained Zone of Influence on Earth, safely at Shonak's vibration, and visits Atsa using a human-looking bot which Atsa sees as a god, since he has no frame of reference for technology of any kind. Read about their many amazing adventures in search for the Crown and witness what happens when they find it. The surprising end to this book will enchant every reader with an open mind and a love for this genre.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. A look at the most memorable stories in New York Mets history - newly updated.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. A terrific book about one of baseball s most underrated pitchers, not to mention baseball s most misunderstood pitch. Stephen King Tim Wakefield is an enigma. At forty-four years old, he is the longest-serving member of one of baseball s most popular franchises. He has pitched more games than any other player in Red Sox history, and in 2011 he reached the milestone of 200 career victories. Yet few realize the full measure of his success. In fact, that his career can be characterized by such words as longevity and consistency defies all odds, because he has achieved all of this with the game s most mercurial weapon the knuckleball. Knuckler is the story of how a struggling position player risked his future on a fickle pitch that would eventually define his career, making him one of the most respected players in the game. It is also a lively and entertaining meditation on the dancing pitch, its history, its mechanics, its mystique, and the inevitable ironies it brings to bear. This book is about resiliency, diligence, and the tunnel vision required to live by what appears to be the most fanciful pitch thrown by man. Peter Gammons, MLB analyst Knuckler gives readers a rare glimpse of the man behind the baseball and his remarkable work on and off the field. Carlton Fisk, Hall of Fame catcher TIM WAKEFIELD has played in the major leagues since 1992 and for the Red Sox since 1995. He has won two World Series, and was recently given the Roberto Clemente Award for his service off the field. TONY MASAROTI is a nationally recognized sports columnist and the author of Big Papi (with David Ortiz).…
