New York: Picador, 2004, later printing number line ending in 17 of the First Picador edition, 223pp., . "Giving Up the Ghost opens in 1955 with 'A Second Home', in which Mantel describes the death of her stepfather, a death which leaves her deeply troubled by the unresolved events of childhood. 'Now Geoffrey Don't Torment Her' begins in typical, gripping Mantel fashion: 'Two of my relatives have died by fire.' Set during the 1950s, it takes the reader into the muffled consciousness of her early childhood, culminating with the birth of a younger brother and the strange candlelit ceremony of her mother's 'churching'. Mantel then moves to a haunted house and mysteriously gains a stepfather. When she is almost eleven, her family flee the gossips and the ghosts, and resolve to start a new life. Teenage perplexity displaces childhood dreams of Arthurian knights as her home turns into a place where the keeping of secrets has become a way of life. Convent school provides a certain sanctuary, with tacit assistance from the fearsome 'Top Nun'. After making good her escape to university and her own marriage, the author reveals how, through medical misunderstanding and neglect, she came to be childless, and how the ghosts of the unborn, like chances missed of pages unturned, have come to haunt her life as a writer.". 9780312423629 ISBN 0312423624 8.00. …

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good.

Number line 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4, only -- the third printing. Just as a fish has no way to comprehend "wet," so Carol Saline (1939-2025), who long wrote for Philadelphia Magazine, probably had no idea she existed in a bubble of the leftist bi-coastal elite. Some very good writing here, mind you, but the author just stumbled across Margaret Atwood, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Cokie Roberts (with mother or daughter, as appropriate)? Yet Phyllis Schlafly and other conservative women of the era somehow failed to make the cut? 127 pp. Reduced from $14. Photos by Sharon J. Wohlmuth (1946-2022) (illustrateur).

First Edition By This Publisher. 157 Pages; Josh Kirby painted cover with image of Hitler's face on a Rocket ship; Science Fiction and Humor; ** Goodreads; His name was Adolph Hibbler and he had escaped the doom of Hitler's Reich by inventing the cryogenic deep freeze long before the rest of the world. As a human icicle he had been just a circus sideshow for many decades until he finally thawed out-in the 21st Century. The trouble began with a series of mysterious events and the government had to call in Odd Jobs, Inc. But when Jake and Hildy Pace started uncovering the clues they found an odder job than any previous capers. There were the lost cassettes of the world's greatest sex fiend to locate. There were model planes that fired real bullets. There was the army of baby-doll killers. And there were the revolutionary gas station attendants and the Arabian shiek who had ignited them. Only Odd Jobs, Inc. could have connected all these cockeyed clues and come up with Hibbler. When they did it sure looked as if they-and the world-were on a spinoff orbit into infinite disaster! >> Minorcover scuffing; minor indents to covers; Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
