This book undoubtedly contains the most efficient method ever published for acquiring self-hypnosis. The instructions are clear, simple and easy to follow, and ideally graduated.
They are grounded on conditioned reflexes solidly anchored in every human being.
It is especially rich in methods of giving oneself post-hypnotic suggestions that ''work'' Some of them are .'classics'&gt; for the practicing professional hypnotist. They are presented as "'proofs-to-myself'' of "now-being-in-hypnosis? At the same time, they constitute a step-by-step training towards the USING of self-hypnosis; time self-hypnosis, deepening techniques, hand levitation, anesthesia, time distortion, and multiple ways of developing a creative visualization . . . are just a few of them.
 
I especially liked the three special methods of eliminating the negative;'' the " Cloud and the Sun',' the " Burning of the Leaves'' and the ' Duck'' exercises, called the THREE basic
desensitization techniques by the author In the third part, the author comes to grips with the MIND POWER Learning methods. Supercharging your will power concentration strengthening, memory activation (to the point of a photographic memory), increased speed of reading, maximized retention and recall &lt;'on the spur of the need of the mo-
ment?" . . . are powerfully treated for application to yourself, NOW.
 
Most important in my view are the techniques of CREATIVITY in the financial, academic, or artistic field which the author gives freely to the reader of the book. You will learn how a script writer can actually "PRELIVE" in his mind his next production, audio and video, and then simply "put it down on paper?' This technique alone is worth many hundred times the price of the book. With the net result that it constitutes a rich mine of information, and  bread and butter information' at that, for the practicing hypnotist.

An immortal fisherman catches an immortal talking fish in the Stone Age, and they live eternally until modern times in Germany, bound by the man's insatiable pregnant wife and entanglements with various female cooks. The narrating fisherman uses his predicament to comment on gender and nutrition in society, as well as gloat over the fish's second capture and subsequent trial by women for his historical role in subjugating women.

William E. Massee

American wines have come of age. Long overshadowed by the fame of European wines, American bottlings have been the first to benefit from improved techniques of winemaking and vineyard management, The result is that American vineyards are now providing some of the best bargains in the world of good wines: a few outstanding wines that are a fraction of the price of their European counterparts plus a gusher of plain table wines the equal of those produced anywhere in the world.
 
Written for novices and informed wine lovers alike, McCall's Guide to Wines of America identifies the best that American vineyards have to offer, using the criteria of quality, value, and availability. Cutting easily through the confusing and sometimes intimidating language of wine labeling, Mr. Massee identifies all of the "noble vines" grown successfully in America and offers a careful selection of the outstanding producers of each wines not to be missed.
 
The author also guides you through the major wine-producing regions of America, describing the notable vineyards and wineries of each region and listing the outstanding bottlings of each-including, for the benefit of vineyard visitors and wine buffs hardy enough to seek them out, some of the special reserves or limited bottlings that are not widely available.
 
"Names virtually unknown as the decade begins will be famous by its end," writes Mr. Massee, who has paid scrupulous attention to recent vineyard extensions, new growths, and experimental plantings. "There are dozens of wines to discover now; there will be scores in the next few years." McCall's Guide to Wines of America acquaints you with the best avail-
able and points the way to making your own discoveries now and in the golden age to come Mr. Massee's very useful book is the first to offer fully up-to-date information on the marvels of American winemaking, and it includes serving suggestions appropriate to each variety and an appendix that gives tasting terms and techniques and information on the stocking and storing of wine.

This finest of all Christmas stories is beautifully illustrated with Arthur Rackham's superb line drawings.

Joel Myerson

A Reader

The transcendentalist movement is generally recognized to be the first major watershed in American literary and intellectual history. Pioneered by Emerson, Thoreau, Orestes Brownson, Margaret Fuller, and Bronson Alcott (among others), Transcendentalism provided a springboard for the first distinctly American forays into intellectual culture: religion and religious reform, philosophy, literature, ecology, and spiritualism. This new collection, edited by eminent American literature scholar Joel Myerson, is the first anthology of the period to appear in over fifty years. Transcendentalism: A Reader draws together in their entirety the essential writings of the Transcendentalist group during its most active period, 1836-1844. It includes the major publications of the Dial, the writings on democratic and social reform, the early poetry, nature writings, and all of Emerson's major essays, as well as an informative introduction and annotations by Myerson.

As she works out under the eye of sexy personal trainer Jack Silver, a stronger new Rosie emerges -- a woman who wants to learn to trust love once again.

Parallel Text

The eight short stories in this collection by Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garca Marquez, Camilo Jos Cela and other writers in Spanish have been chosen both for their literary merit and for being representative of twentieth-century Spanish American writing. The English translations that are printed in a parallel text are literal rather than literary, and there are additional notes on the text. The volume is intended primarily to help English-speaking students of Spanish, but these stories stand on their own and make excellent reading in either language. Los ocho cuentos de esta coleccion escritos por Jorge Luis Borges, Gabriel Garca Mrquez y Camilo Jos Cela entre otros autores hispano hablantes, han sido seleccionados tanto por su merito literario como por ser representativos de las tendencias literarias hispanoamericanos del siglo veinte. Las traducciones al ingles que figuran paralelmente, son mas bien literales que literarias, incluyendo apuntes adicionales. Este volumene.

Ernest Hemingway

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

The last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, published posthumously in 1986, charts the life of a young American writer and his glamorous wife who fall for the same woman. A sensational bestseller when it appeared in 1986, The Garden of Eden is the last uncompleted novel of Ernest Hemingway, which he worked on intermittently from 1946 until his death in 1961. Set on the Côte d'Azur in the 1920s, it is the story of a young American writer, David Bourne, his glamorous wife, Catherine, and the dangerous, erotic game they play when they fall in love with the same woman. "A lean, sensuous narrative...taut, chic, and strangely contemporary," The Garden of Eden represents vintage Hemingway, the master "doing what nobody did better" (R. Z. Sheppard, Time).
