Moody Press 30-5170 1970. (Paperback) *.*.*.*.*Better than Fair not quite Good. *.*.*.*.* *.*.*.*.* *.*.*.*.* A fair amount of spine and cover wear and creasing. There is an ink doodle on the back cover. *.*.*.*.* Like most kids, Nelson Blount wanted to have only one job when he grew up. But his interest wasn't fire fighting, playing baseball, or to be president of the United States. His passion was trains, and from the time he was four, he hoped to become a railroad engineer. But fate interfered and Nelson Blount went into business instead - so successfully that he became a millionaire before he was thirty. From that time on, with all the money in the world, he tried everything from deep-sea fishing to gun collecting, to big game hunting - without finding the one thing he really wanted - peace of mind. Then tragedy struck - his beloved wife Ruth narrowly escaped death in an automobile accident. In this terrible time, Blount searched desperately for an inner faith and commitment. He found it, and with it the strength to fulfill his boyhood dream. The result is Steamtown U.S.A., in Vermont, which now houses almost 100 steam locomotives, and railroad cars of every type, running on mile after mile of gleaming steel track. Here is the colorful story of a man known as the "Savior of Steam," who found himself, and who today brings joy and a touch of nostalgia to thousands of grateful visitors to STEAMTOWN, U.S.A. *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available..

(Paperback) *.*.*.*.*Very good. *.*.*.*.* *.*.*.*.* *.*.*.*.* Looks close to new. *.*.*.*.* In March 1085, Terry Anderson was a good man swept up in the violent conflict of a turbulent era. At the mercy of Shiite captors for nearly seven years, he lived in chains, wondering fearfully if each day would be the one he'd be released - or killed. Imprisoned and beaten like an animal, he was tortured by grief, by fatigue, by hopelessness. But his spirit soared beyond captivity, and he never gave up. Nor did those who loved him - his sister, his fiancee, his daughter, his close friends and colleagues. Now he's returned with a harrowing and poignant story of survival, as well as new revelations about what was really happening behind the scenes in the Middle East - the events that plunged Anderson and his fellow hostages into days, weeks, and, unthinkably, years of darkness. *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available..

Kennedy. Michel de Nostradame (1503 - 1566) led a life as compelling as his visions. In this spine-chilling novel, based on his screenplay, Knut Boeser vibrantly recreates life in sixteenth-century Europe - a world crippled by plagues and superstitions and oppressed by the Inquisition - to reveal Nostradamus as both man and mythic hero, the most learned astronomer of his day, as well as a visionary and healer persecuted by church and state for his unorthodox, heretical wisdom. From the young boy terrified by his mysterious dreams, to the herbalist unable to save his wife and children form the Black Death, to the scholar tortured by the Inquisition, Nostradamus and his searing visions are brought vividly to life in this gripping story. *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available..
