On Nov 18 2007, Hazelwood_Booksellers said:
For fifty-five years Ellis Rubin (1925-2006) took on some of the most high-profile and bizarre cases in Miami, Florida, with some of the most creative and outlandish defenses ever conceived. He was, to say the least, a legal legend in Dade County, Florida courtrooms, which is says a lot considering Miami has the dubious distinction of being America's #1 "crime capitol." Rubin's unconventional defenses included a teenage boy with a distorted sense of reality who was on trial for murder, in which he argued in defense of the teenager that he suffered from "television intoxication." But as outlandish as Rubin might have seemed, he was not without his own set of morals. He once spent rime in jail for refusing to represent a potential client because he felt the man was lying to him. An amazing person, as one of America's most adroit lawyers and forceful speakers, he started life with a verbal stuttering condition so severe that he couldn't even pronounce his own name! His debut work in this autobiography explodes off the pages, giving us an inside tale of perhaps the most colorful attorneys in America's recent past.

Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children\'s paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost \"in the stacks\" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as \"1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores\", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan.
