Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From skinny scholar to muscle-bound showman. Easily the best memoir ever written about weight training, steroids and all (Mens Journal). When blue-blooded, storklike Samuel Wilson Fussell arrived in New York City fresh from the University of Oxford, the ethereal young graduate seemed like the last person on Earth who would be interested in bodybuilding. But he was intimidated by the dangers of the cityand decided to do something about it. At twenty-six, Fussell walked into the YMCA gym. Four solid years of intensive training, protein powders, and steroid injections later, he had gained eighty pounds of pure muscle and was competing for bodybuilding titles. And yet, with forearms like bowling pins and calves like watermelons, Fussell felt weaker than ever before. His punishing regimen of workouts, drugs, and diet had reduced him to near-infant-like helplessness and immobility, leaving him hungry, nauseated, and prone to outbursts of roid rage. But he had come to succeed, and there was no backing down now. Alternately funny and fascinating, Muscle is the true story of one mans obsession with the pursuit of perfection. With insight, wit, and refreshing candor, Fussell ushers readers into the wild world of juicers and gym rats who sacrifice their lives, minds, bodies, and souls to their dreams of glory in Southern Californias so-called iron mecca.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. From Kirk Douglas, Hollywood royalty and bestselling author ofThe Ragmans Son and My Stroke of Luck,comes the candidstory of the making ofSpartacus, the blockbuster film that broke the blacklist One of the worlds most iconic movie stars, Kirk Douglas has distinguished himself as a producer, philanthropist, and author of ten works of fiction and memoir.Now,more than fifty years after the release of his enduring epic Spartacus,Douglas reveals the riveting drama behind the making of the legendary gladiator film. Douglas began producing the movie in the midst of the politically charged era when Hollywoods moguls refused to hire anyone accused of Communist sympathies.In a risky move,Douglas choseDalton Trumbo, a blacklisted screenwriter, to write Spartacus. Trumbo wasone of the Unfriendly Ten, men who had gone to prison rather than testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee about their political affiliations. Douglass source material was already a hot property, as the novel Spartacus was written by Howard Fast while he was in jail for defying HUAC. With the financial future of his young family at stake, Douglas plunged into a tumultuous production both on-and off-screen. As both producer and star of the film, he faced explosive moments with young director Stanley Kubrick, struggles with a leading lady, and negotiations with giant personalities, includingSirLaurence Olivier, Charles Laughton, Peter Ustinov, and Lew Wasserman.Writing from his heart and from his own meticulously researched archives, Kirk Douglas, at ninety-five, looks back at his audacious decisions. He made the most expensive film of its erabut more importantly, his moral courage in giving public credit to Trumbo effectively ended the notorious Hollywood blacklist. A master storyteller,Douglas paints a vivid and often humorous portrait in I Am Spartacus! The book is enhanced by newly discovered period photography of the stars and filmmakers both on and off the set. The book has been read but remains in clean condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The award-winning author of the Hexslinger Series â explores the world of film and horror in a way that will leave you reelingâ (Jeff VanderMeer, author of the Southern Reach Trilogy).  Former film teacher Lois Cairns is struggling to raise her autistic son while freelancing as a critic when, at a screening, she happens upon a sampled piece of silver nitrate silent footage. She is able to connect it to the early work of Mrs. Iris Dunlopp Whitcomb, the spiritualist and collector of fairy tales who mysteriously disappeared from a train compartment in 1918.  Hoping to make her own mark on the film world, Lois embarks on a project to prove that Whitcomb was Canadaâ s first female filmmaker. But her research takes her down a path not of darkness but of lightâ "the blinding and searing light of a fairy tale made flesh, a noontime demon who demands that duty must be paid. As Lois discovers terrifying parallels between her own life and that of Mrs. Whitcomb, she begins to fear not just for herself, but for those closest to her heart.  Winner of the Shirley Jackson Award for Best Novel  â One of the standout horror novels of 2015Â.Â.Â. From an author who has already established herself as one of the genreâ s most original and innovative voices, Experimental Film is a remarkable achievement.â â "Los Angeles Review of Books  â Experimental Film represents the next, significant contribution to what is emerging as one of the most interesting and exciting bodies of work currently being produced in the horror field. Every film, Lois Cairns writes, is an experiment. The same might be said of every novel. This one succeeds, wildly.â â "Locus  â Experimental Film is sensational.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The definitive New York Timesbestselling account: One of the most intriguing and thought-provoking books about shipwreck since A Night to Remember (The Detroit News). One of the largest, fastest, and most beautiful ships in the world, the Andrea Doria was on her way to New York from her home port in Genoa. Departing from the United States was the much smaller Stockholm. On the foggy night of July 25, 1956, fifty-three miles southeast of Nantucket in the North Atlantic, the Stockholm sliced through the Dorias steel hull. Within minutes, water was pouring into the Italian liner. Eleven hours later, she capsized and sank into the ocean. In this electrifying book, Associated Press journalist Alvin Moscow, who covered the court hearings that sought to explain the causes of the tragedy and interviewed all the principals, re-creates with compelling accuracy the actions of the ships officers and crews, and the terrifying experiences of the Dorias passengers as they struggled to evacuate a craft listing so severely that only half of its lifeboats could be launched (Newsweek). Recounting the heroic, rapid response of other shipswhich averted a catastrophe of the same scale as that of the Titanicand the official inquest, Moscow delivers a fact-filled, fascinating drama of this infamous maritime disaster, and explains how a supposedly unsinkable ship ended up at the bottom of the sea. In the New York Times Book Review, Walter Lord, author of A Night to Remember, said of Collision Course: More than a magnificent analysis of the accident and sinking; it is a warmly compassionate document, full of understanding for the people on each side.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A candid, rollicking literary travelogue from a pioneering New Yorker writer, an intrepid heroine who documented China in the years before World War II. Deemed scandalous at the time of its publication in 1944, Emily Hahn's now classic memoir of her years in China remains remarkable for her insights into a tumultuous period and her frankness about her personal exploits. A proud feminist and fearless traveler, she set out for China in 1935 and stayed through the early years of the Second Sino-Japanese War, wandering, carousing, living, loving-and writing. Many of the pieces in China to Me were first published as the work of a roving reporter in the New Yorker. All are shot through with riveting and humanizing detail. During her travels from Nanjing to Shanghai, Chongqing, and Hong Kong, where she lived until the Japanese invasion in 1941, Hahn embarks upon an affair with lauded Chinese poet Shao Xunmei; gets a pet gibbon and names him Mr. Mills; establishes a close bond with the women who would become the subjects of her bestselling book The Soong Sisters; battles an acquired addiction to opium; and has a child with Charles Boxer, a married British intelligence officer. In this unflinching glimpse of a vanished world, Hahn examines not so much the thorny complications of political blocs and party conflict, but the ordinary-or extraordinary-people caught up in the swells of history. At heart, China to Me is a self-portrait of a fascinating woman ahead of her time. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
