We can’t get enough of this dust jacket from Contract Null & Void by Joe Gores. This first edition was published in 1996.
How To Eat Better For Less Money by James A. Beard and Sam Aaron was published in 1954. I bet there’s no recipe for avocado toast in this book!

Nancy Mitford was an English novelist, she is best remembered for her novels about upper-class life in England
and France and for her sharp and often provocative wit. She also
established a reputation for herself as a writer of popular historical
biographies.
Have you read any of her work? We just love these reissued copies published by Penguin in 2015.
First edition of the author’s first book.
Since his debut in 1951 as The Catcher In the
Rye, Holden Caulfield has been synonymous with “cynical adolescent.”
Holden narrates the story of a couple of days in his sixteen-year-old
life, just after he’s been expelled from prep school, in a slang that
sounds edgy even today and keeps this novel on banned book lists.
It
begins, “If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll
probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood
was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me,
and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going
into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff
bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two
hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them.”.
A Dell Murder Mystery. Classic 1940s vintage cover art of the phantom of the opera playing the keyboard.
This Place Has No Atmosphere by Paula Danziger
80s YA sci fi at its best!
It’s the year 2057 and students take classes in ESP, people live in malls, there aren’t any parks left, and thanks to an airtight dome, there is a colony on the moon. Fourteen-year-old Aurora couldn’t be happier—she’s part of the “in” crowd, her best friend is a celebrity, and Matthew has asked her to Homecoming.
But Aurora’s parents have new jobs on the moon, and she and her little sister must leave their friends and schools to go with them. Aurora is sure she will hate life on the moon, because there are only 750 people in the whole colony. What if none of them is a boy her age?
