First Edition.310 p.; illustrated. Good dust jacket in removable protective cover. Tiny dot stain to rear endpaper, and tip of spine is slightly bumped, otherwise clean, bright, tightly bound, Fine condition. From the DJ flaps: Most observers agree that Senator Edward M. Kennedy could have been the President of the U.S. and the leader of the Free World. But, his destiny was shattered near a small bridge on an island named Chappaquiddick. CHAPPAQUIDDICK REVEALED was written because author Ken Kappel discovered powerful new factual evidence that had never been available to the American people.
- According to photographic analysis Kennedy's car may have been in another accident before the one at the bridge. (See photo section)
- Blood stains on Mary Jo Kopechne's blouse must have dried—and set—prior to the plunge into the water, indicating that she was injured in an earlier accident, before the bridge.
- The car may have been purposely pushed, not driven, off the bridge after this earlier… Read More

xiii, 744 p.; 24 cm. Includes Bibliography (pp. 619-692) and indices (pp. 725-744). Black cloth hard cover with gilt lettering to spine shows some edgewear and minor aging, with light foxing to endpapers, but the textblock is pristine, with no noticed markings, creases, or other defects. Dust jacket is price-clipped and is slightly faded, with wear commensurate with age, including small tears, but is housed in a protective cover to prevent further wear. At times surprisingly lucid, but often (and even hilariously) incorrect, it should be noted that the material contained in this book is extremely dated. Be prepared to encounter such as gems as: "Absolute women homosexuals are more psychopathic than men" (p. 610). From the dust jacket: THE SEXUAL OFFENDER AND HIS OFFENSES represents the first major work on the descriptive and clinical aspects of sexual abnormalities since Krafft-Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis. It goes far beyond any existing work in charting and establishing the background and clinical… Read More

263 p. ; lightly illustrated ; contains bibliography and references (pp. 246-263). Very minor edgewear and some unobtrusive underlining in blue pen in latter quarter of textblock, otherwise Fine. From back cover:Technologist and security expert Thomas P. Keenan has been at the forefront of the digital revolution for decades as a participant and observer. In Technocreep, he documents the high-speed invasion of technology into our lives. Keenan keeps the reader entertained with lively anecdotes about Justin Bieber and Disney, but he doesn't shy away from presenting the seriously sinister consequences of technology. Suicide and job loss are just two of the devastating consequences that can be linked back to our everyday devices, and even experts will find revelations in the way Keenan tracks the collision between humans and technology. Includes a special chapter on how to "de-creep" your digital profile: how to throw governments and corporations off your cyberscent!

First thus, first printing (Greywood edition). [Originally published by Harlequin Books, Winnipeg, 1954.]158 p. ; 18 cm. An handsome, edge-painted (red), vintage paperback with pictorial cover depicting the Donnellys' grave, shows negligible shelfwear and light markings to covers, with the top red edge being very very slightly sunned, but is otherwise in Fine condition, appearing to have been unread. Did not scan inside book in order to preserve crispness. Photographs can be taken upon request. From the rear: Fear reigned throughout Lucan district for twenty-three long years. Fear of ruination and destruction, of vicious beatings that maimed or killed, and the fear of violent death at the hands of THE BLACK DONNELLYS. The name DONNELLY was synonymous with fear, and brave men and women were as children before their terrible vindictiveness. None dared to stand against them, until one man formed a plan to destroy The Donnellys . . . a plan that was to go down as one of the bloodiest massacres in history.

Mild shelfwear, including but not limited to impressions and sticker residue, but internally Fine, seemingly unread. From the back: Prior histories of the first Spanish mariners to circumnavigate the globe in the sixteenth century have focused on Ferdinand Magellan and the other illustrious leaders of these daring expeditions. Harry Kelsey's masterfully researched study is the first to concentrate on the hitherto anonymous sailors, slaves, adventurers, and soldiers who manned the ships.The author contends that these initial transglobal voyages occurred by chance, beginning with the launch of Magellan's armada in 1519, when the crews dispatched by the king of Spain to claim the Spice Islands in the western Pacific were forced to seek a longer way home, resulting in bitter confrontations with rival Portuguese. Kelsey's enthralling history, based on more than thirty years of research in… Read More
