Some minor shelfwear, otherwise bright and clean; pages lightly tanning, mainly towards the edges. Some slight fading to the spine. Jaldis and Rhion make a scant living, like most freelance wizards in a hostile universe, from luck-spells, love-potions and fortune-telling.

Before long, the wizards are running for their lives, leaving a rare and dangerous spell unfinished.

Barbara Kingsolver The Bean Trees
New York Perennial 1989 First Trade Paperback Near Fine Fiction Cover: Ken Jaudrey
Meet Taylor Greer. Clear-eted and spirited, she grew up in rural Kentucky with two goals: the avoid pregnancy and to get away. She succeeds on both counts when she buys a '55 Volkswagen and heads west. But by the time our plucky if unlikely heroine pulls up on the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona, at an auto repair shop called JESUS IS LORD USED TYRES that also happens to be a sanctuary for Central American refugees, she "inherited" a three-year-old American Indian girl named Turtle. What follows - as Taylor meets the human condition head-on - is at heart of this memorable novel about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places.

There is Tom, the lost busker, and Jed, who keeps the hawk and uses the trains in the night hours; Jasper and the truant boys riding terrifyingly high above the tracks; and Alice, who wants to forget the baby she has deserted.

Barry Norman Death on Sunset
London Orion 1998 First Hard Cover Fine Near Fine Crime Fiction
It wasn't Bobby Lennox's idea to go to Hollywood but, when his friend and mentor Donovan asks him to "oversee his interests" in a high-profile film in which he's invested, Bobby finds it difficult to refuse. Hell, he likes the movies and it's not every day that he gets the chance to be "associate producer", all expenses paid. So he flies to LA, holes up in the discreet but luxurious Bel Air Riviera Hotel, and discovers for himself what everyone else has known all along: the film, the studio and even the film stars are controlled by the Mafia. But not Bobby. He owes nothing to anyone - not even Donovan. And neither, it appears, does Richie Proctor, the talented English film director, nor his equally talented, beautiful assistant Lucy, to whom Bobby takes an immediate shine. But it's difficult to stay out of the Mob's clutches for long. And when ageing film star Virna Newport's ex-husband is discovered with a knife in his throat and Bobby is first on the crime scene, he finds his troubles have only just begun... With dialogue that crackles, and characters that are as authentic as they are engaging, Barry Norman brings his unique insight of the movie trade to a world where crime, sexual passion, money and drugs walk hand in hand. The dj is in excellent condition apart from a very small, quarter inch tear in the top of the back cover. The book is in exceptional tight, clean condition.

Brown cloth binding with gilt lettering on the spine. Stamp bearing name and address of Ingleton Middle School on opening page. Otherwise in an excellent, clean, tight condition, almost as if unread. The Bradshaw brothers issued their warning - "One word outta place, Steve, my son, an' we break the kid's back, right?" - and both Ronnie and his father knew that they would keep their word. Many people in the East End knew that the Bradshaws were criminals. Some, like Ronnie's father, had become inextricably involved in their activities; some had seen them at first as helpers - the family of Manjit Mirza, for instance, Ronnie's companion in the special reading class at school. The police knew about them too, but could do nothing; no one would speak against the Bradshaws for fear of reprisal. Ronnie's own fear was so great that it dominated his entire life, making everything unconnected with them seem unreal; and it was Ronnie who found himself caught up in a confusion of events which finally led him to a choice between beating the brothers at their own game or delivering them up to the law. It was sad, though, for Manjit Mirza that he could not have left things as they were for just a little longer.

Bethany Campbell Don't Talk to Strangers
London Headline Book 1996 0747214573 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good
Some light scuffing to dj, which has a half inch tear at the base of the back cover and a smaller in at the top near the spine, otherwise sound. Not price clipped. Edge of pages faintly browning. When Gretchen Small buys a return ticket to Chicago, she thinks she's on her way to romance. Instead, she finds death - for 'Joachim', who has seduced her on the computer Internet, is not the perfect man but a cold and calculating killer. Gretchen is not the first victim he has lured to a remote spot with evil intent - and she won't be the last. One reason why 'Joachim'chose Gretchen was that he thought her disappearance would go unnoticed. But Gretchen had one friend who, fearing the worst, has hired private eye Hayden Ivanovich to investigate. Ivanovich isn't convinced there's been a crime, but he takes on the case, and sets up former policewoman Carrie Blue as bait. Confident and independent, the windowed mother of two grown-up children, Carrie thinks herself a sophisticate on sexual matters, but she's in for a rude awakening when she links into the Internet. Hunting down a killer who may or may not exist amongst the countless cranks and misfits who prey on women throughout the system is a job for someone with determination, ingenuity - and time. But time is something Carrie doesn't have. The attack on Gretchen, rather than satisfying the killer's murderous instincts, has made him thirsty for more. When his next chosen victim proves elusive, frustration makes him even more dangerous. Dangerous - and angry with anyone who stands in his way. And Carrie herself has inadvertently done just that...
