Anton Chekhov. The Good Doctor. New York. Random House. 1974. 110 pps. Folio. First edition. Hardcover. very good copy in fine dust jacket.

The stories, adapted for the stage, are filled with dry humor, surprise endings, and clever common people in confrontations with "superiors," ending in absurdities. "The Writer," obviously Chekhov, who himself was a "good doctor," acts as narrator and serves to connect the various scenes. $3.00 Book #416 from WFPL Building Committee, Watertown, MA

John Connolly. The Lovers: a Thriller. New York. Atria Books. 2009. 344 pps. 4to. First edition. Hardcover. fine copy in fine dust jacket. Charlie Parker returns in "New York Times"-bestselling author Connolly's most chilling and mesmerizing thriller to date. Charlie Parker is haunted by a man and a woman who appear to have only one purpose: to end to Parker's existence. Publishers Weekly Bestseller Connolly once again expertly melds a hard-boiled plot with the supernatural in his eighth Charlie Parker crime novel (after The Reapers). While previous books in the series explored the trauma at the heart of Parker's backstory, the murder of the PI's wife and daughter, this one examines an equally devastating family trauma-the suicide of his New York City policeman father, Will, after Will gunned down two unarmed teenagers decades earlier. As Parker, who was 15 at the time, seeks the truth about his ancestry, he comes to doubt that he was raised by his biological parents. When he learns a pair of undying beings have him at the top of their hit list, he decides to return to New York City after a stint tending bar in Maine. The underlying grim sadness and Connolly's unwillingness to pull his punches will appeal to noir fans, while his effective use of understatement and evocative prose makes his alternate universe plausible.

New York. Rizzoli International Publications, Inc.. 2006. 208 pps. 8vo. First edition. Hardcover. fine copy in fine dust jacket. This stunning volume focuses on the qualities of the old things in our homes (the patina of an old table, pewter dulled by age, old floorboards that creak) and how to live with and incorporate them into our personal aesthetic. Divided into chapters by the qualities of old--peeling, dried, tarnished, faded, chipped, frayed, rusty, and mossy--this unique book not only pays tribute to furniture, textiles, china, silver and other accessories with these qualities but also shows us how best to preserve, adapt, and arrange them. Lavishly illustrated with beautiful photographs that highlight the warm colors and rich textures of wood and paint, cloth and leather, For the Love of Old also includes ideas and recipes for saving old items from the junk pile, preserving and caring for the old things you have, giving newer things a lived-in feel, and bringing an enduring personality to every home. $30.00 Book #571 from WFPL Building Committee, Watertown, MA

MELISSA Fay Greene. The Temple Bombing. New York. Adisson Wessley Publishing Company. 1996. 502 pps. 8vo. First edition. Hardcover. Inscribed by Author. fine copy in fine dust jacket. On October 12, 1958, the Reform Jewish synagogue in Atlanta exploded when 50 sticks of dynamite detonated. A key moment in Civil Rights history, as telling in its way as Rosa Parks's refusal to change bus seats. This volume looks back on this pivotal event, creating a picture of a city, a region, and indeed a country on the cusp of monumental change. It was an era of almost totalitarian thought in the South. Dissent had been silenced by terror. The lunatic fringe was allowed to respond to Brown versus Board of Education, while the moderate majority was afraid to speak. Into the the breach stepped an unlikely hero, Jacob Rothschild, a young rabbi who had returned from World War II to lead the oldest and most prominent synagogue in Atlanta. Rothschild was one of a handful of whites of his generation with the courage to speak up for racial justice. This book weaves together the stories of white supremacists, the privileged white community, the black community, and the Jewish community. $12.00 Book #402 from WFPL Building Committee, Watertown, MA

Ollie Johnston. The Disney Villain. New York. Hyperion. 1993. 232 pps. Folio. First edition. Hardcover. very good copy in fine dust jacket. Using sketches and four-color art, two veteran artists and authors ( Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life , LJ 12/15/81) analyze Walt Disney Studios' animated scoundrels, from Peg Leg Pete to Aladdin's Jafar. Walt Disney's input and his later delegation of authority are discussed. The authors assert that the golden age of animation ended at the close of World War II as a result of postwar costs and a dearth of imagination not remedied until 1950 with the production of Cinderella. They evaluate ensuing successes and failures, the emergence of new animators, and computer enhancement techniques. An appendix contains portraits of all the studio's villain creators. This balanced critique is recommended for art and film collections of public libraries. $15.00 Book #390 from WFPL Building Committee, Watertown, MA
