Add to Bag

From author Eric Safflind comes a thrilling sci-fi series. 

In the fifth edition to the series, Adrian Kahler is a psychologist turned detective. He has a Sherlock Holmes intellect, extrasensory perception, and an ability to manipulate computers that even Steve Jobs would envy. Iran is ready to launch a nuclear missile at Israel. The United States is counting on one of its fleet of secretly laser-armed surveillance satellites to surreptitiously destroy the missile as it launches, but the satellite that will "watch" Iran has yet to be deployed. Each laser requires a crystal of spectacular size and purity, and the NASA lab responsible for crystal production has suddenly begun to fail. Iranian agents are suspected of sabotage, but none can be found.

The only scientist who has ever succeeded in growing the needed crystals claims to have no understanding of what has gone wrong, but Kahler suspects that he is hiding a dark secret. It's up to Kahler and his team to defeat the agents working against them, solve the mystery, and get crystal production back on track. The launch window is closing. Time is running out.

Rosa Parks Beyond The Bus by HH Leonards Rosa Parks Beyond The Bus by HH Leonards

Price includes shipping for this item.
International shipping additional.


Rosa Parks Beyond the Bus: Life, Lessons, and Leadership is an inspiring book about having faith in yourself to do the hard work to change hearts and minds — and to have the courage to fight for the rights of all others: Black, White, religious, non-religious, men, women, and children. Book is signed by the author.

Rosa Parks Beyond the Bus is a rare look into Mrs. Parks’ life, her thoughts, her beliefs, and her immense wisdom that moved people — from diverse moral leaders Nelson Mandela, Deepak Chopra, Malcolm X, and Pope John Paul II to the smallest of children — to seek and revere her presence.

This book explores many of the things Mrs. Parks did that history books don’t teach. It is a collection of personal stories compiled from the decade that Mrs. Parks lived and traveled with the author.

During those years, Leonards was able to feel the heart and soul of the woman who became “The Mother of The Civil Rights Movement” and the Grandmother of The Women’s Movement. In the book the author shares her remembrances, both delightful and somber, in a way that offers readers an intimate glimpse into the personhood of Mrs. Parks.

Mrs. Parks is much more than someone who refused to get up from her bus seat. She was a survivor and the ultimate influencer of generations to come. She believed the laws can change but if you don’t change people’s hearts nothing changes. She believed Love is all that matters.


“I want this book to touch people’s soul because
that is what Mrs. Parks did for me.
This book is about not just an extraordinary revered figure in history,
but about her soul and heart -- and the lessons of leadership she taught me.”
- H.H. Leonards

The children's book is about a chaos-causing cat who visits two children on a rainy day when their mother isn't home and makes a big mess with his companions, Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Madame Butterfly is a short story by American lawyer and writer John Luther Long. It is based on the recollections of Long's sister, Jennie Correll, who had been in Japan with her husband, a Methodist missionary, and was influenced by Pierre Loti's 1887 novel Madame Chrysanthéme. It was published in Century Magazinein 1898, in conjunction with some of Long's other short fictions.

According to a book by Jan van Rj, Long's story was loosely based on the birth-mother of Tomisaburo, the British-Japaneseadopted son of Thomas Blake Glover and his Japanese wife Awajiya Tsuru. Tomisaburo's birth-mother was Maki Kaga, who worked in the red-light district of Nagasaki.

A Dictionary of Modern English Usage (1926), by Henry Watson Fowler (1858-1933), is a style guide to British-English usage, pronunciation, and writing. Covering topics such as plurals and literary technique, distinctions among like words (homonyms and synonyms), and the use of foreign terms, the dictionary became the standard for other writing style guides to wrinting in English. Hence, the 1926 first edition remains in print, along with the 1965 second edition, edited by Ernest Gowers, which was reprinted in 1983 and 1987.

Francis Turner Palgrave (1824-1897) was a British critic, anthologist and poet. Palgrave published both criticism and poetry, but his work as a critic was by far the more important. Palgrave's Landscape in Poetry (1897) showed wide knowledge and critical appreciation of one of the most attractive aspects of poetic interpretation. But Palgrave's principal contribution to the development of literary taste was contained in his Golden Treasury of English Songs and Lyrics (1861), an anthology of the ebst poetry in the language constructed upon a plan sound and spacious, and followed out with a delicacy of feeling which could scarcely be surpassed.

Wide, Wide World by Susan Warner Wide, Wide World by Susan Warner
$3000.00

First edition of Susan Bogert Warner's first novel, written under the pseudonym of Elizabeth Wetherell, in bright condition. Warner (1819-1885) began writing Wide, Wide World in 1848. It was to become one of the most popular American novels of its time, however, it initially had difficulty finding a publisher. "Even when George P. Putnam accepted the novel for publication in 1850 (largely because his mother was enthusiastic about the manuscript), he initially printed only 750 copies; two years later, the novel was reprinted for the fourteenth time, and for decades to come, only Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin surpassed Warner's first novel in sales and popularity."

Published July 11, 1960, To Kill a Mockingbird was an immediate bestseller and won great critical acclaim, including the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1961. It remains a bestseller, with more than 30 million copies in print. In 1999, it was voted "Best Novel of the Century" in a poll by The Library Journal.

Here at the O Museum in the Mansion, dear friend of the Mansion, Elizabeth, donated her signed copy of the book. Harper Lee signed the copy for Elizabeth at the Los Angeles Public Library Awards Dinner on May 19, 2005

Harper Lee was very introverted and never made appearances or signed books. However, Elizabeth's grandparents, the Pecks, were big supporters of the library and asked Lee to accept the Los Angeles Public Library Literary Award. She reluctantly agreed and took the train across the country to accept the award (she was too afraid to fly). She gave no speech, but she did sign books for those who attended (including Elizabeth).
