El Monte, (Ca) $19.99 El Monte became an established community late in the 1850s-much earlier than most cities in what later became Los Angeles County-as the western terminus of the Santa Fe Trail. Its situation between the watersheds of the Rio Hondo and San Gabriel River made it one of early California’s most fertile farming areas, with English walnut trees and dairy farms dotting the countryside. The city incorporated in 1912 and, in the ensuing decades, became the home of Gay’s Lion Farm, where Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer kept the various big cats that roared on a logo announcing 1,001 movies. Crawford’s store became known as the largest country store in the world, and the car culture that enveloped Southern California in the postwar years went through significant developmental chapters in El Monte, home of such regionally famous stops as El Monte Drive-In Theatre, Legion Stadium, and the circular, iconic Stan’s Drive-In diner. |

Finding the Charm in Charm City: Affectionate Views of Baltimore $134.8 These pages represent my version of a visual Balmorese that celebrates the unique, the forgotten, the quirky, the hidden, the well-loved — streetside charms that are, or were, special to this city because they are either duplicated in no other place or we have adopted them as our own. — Huguette MayFinding the Charm in Charm City captures a Baltimore that many of us see without really seeing, a city in the midst of change but one whose past still lives in the streets. From the Bel-Loc Diner to the Arbutus Poodle Salon to the now-vacant Pikes Theater, each landmark included in the book has its own story to tell about the city of Baltimore and its people. Here are marble steps and rowhouses, car dealers and corner shops, murals, pubs, and warehouses. Every subject is visible from the street, and May and Smith have arranged the work around fourteen of the city’s most inviting corridors, from South Hanover Street and Ritchie Highway to Washington Boulevard and Wilkens Avenue; from Reisterstown, Falls, and York Roads to Eastern Avenue, Harford, and Belair Roads.Using the Polaroid image transfer technique, Huguette May individually printed more than 100 color pictures that splendidly capture the variety of interesting building exteriors, design details, and quirky sights she found around Baltimore. This unusual process (fully explained in the text) creates color images of a special warmth and vitality, each as unique as its subject.Accompanying the photographs, Anthea Smith’s descriptions blend wonderful human stories and fascinating historical details. Smith has delved deeply into the city’s past to bring us Baltimore personalities such as Albert Knight, who inventedFormstone in 1937, and William Anton Octavek, who started the city’s folk art tradition of painted screens in 1914, when he painted images of meats and vegetables on the screen doors of his grocery store.Finding the Charm in Charm City shows Baltimore as a city whose singular charms should b |

Lee Child Collection $65.23 KILLING FLOOR – I was eating eggs and drinking coffee. I was in a booth, at a window, reading somebody’s abandoned newspaper. Outside, the rain had stopped but the glass was still pebbled with bright drops. I saw the police cruisers pull into the gravel lot. They were moving fast and crunched to a stop. Light bars flashing and popping. Doors burst open, policemen jumped out. Two from each car, weapons ready. Two revolvers, two shotguns. This was heavy stuff. One revolver and one shotgun ran to the back. One of each rushed the door. I just sat and watched them. I knew who was in the diner. A cook in back. Two waitresses. Two old men. And me. This operation was for me. I had been in town less than half an hour. – From the opening of this searing tale of honor and revenge where Jack Reacher, a former military cop, hunts down his brother’s killers. DIE TRYING – In a Chicago suburb, a dentist is met in his office parking lot by three men and ordered into the trunk of his Lexus. On a downtown sidewalk, Jack Reacher and an unknown woman are abducted in broad daylight by two men – practiced and confident – who stop them at gunpoint and hustle them into the same sedan. Then Reacher and the woman are switched into a second vehicle and hauled away, leaving the dentist bound and gagged inside his car with the woman’s abandoned possessions, two gallons of gasolineand a burning match. TRIPWIRE – Jack Reacher is settling into lazy Key West when his life is interrupted by a stranger who comes looking for him. When the stranger turns up beaten to death in the Old Town cemetery – fingertips removed – Reacher knows whomever the man was working for is not a friend. Reacher follows the trail toNew York. |
