New York, New York, U.S.A.: Berkley Medalion, 1977. Reviewer: David - This book is not the best political novel ever conceived. It's the story of a vice-president who falls into disgrace. It's a bit dated, especially after the events (affairs) of the Clinton Administration (the guilty VP in the novel has the character of a Sunday School teacher compared to the shenanigans of the last 8 years). It is interesting, however, in that the author is none other than Spiro T. Agnew -- an insider who knew something about the way the vice-presidency operated -- and who was no stranger to controversy.. ISBN: 0425033384. Spinelines/cover rubs/tan pgs/stamp/tite.

It is ashamed that it isn't better known, but unfortunately Arnow-Simpson is thought of as a regional writer. This is a very deep book, but it also has some very funny parts. Her description of pre-consumerism country life is very detailed and insightful. She saw how the world was changing, and captured a piece of it that is now long gone.

Westminister, Maryland, U.S.A.: Alfred A Knopf Inc, 2000. In About Schmidt, Albert Schmidt, proud traditional gentleman and lawyer of the old school, was almost down for the count. The wife he adored was recently dead, his once thriving practice had withered, he had stumbled into early retirement. And relations with his beloved and perfectly bred daughter couldn't have been worse: she mercilessly decided to marry one of Schmidt's former partners, a man odious to Schmidt for reasons too shameful to admit. The only glimmer of salvation was his unlikely, and mysteriously dangerous, love affair with Carrie, a Puerto Rican waitress younger than his daughter. Now, in Schmidt Delivered, Louis Begley revisits his antihero--triumphantly back from the brink--to give us a winning story of how virtue may be rewarded. Within the modest luxury of his Hamptons home, Schmidtie rediscovers domestic bliss, with Carrie. He keeps his own hours and steers his own course, even as he becomes increasingly ensnared by the odd Levantine billionaire Michael Mansour. (Is Mansour a real friend, or just a big cat playing with a WASP mouse?) Among Schmidt's other satisfactions is the thought of the cold dish of "I told you so" he could serve his yuppie daughter as her marriage founders on a scandal that overwhelms the detested son-in-law. Where will it all lead? Can May and December remain on the same calendar as the sun sets? Will the irrepressible Schmidtie remain content in his deck chair indefinitely?. ISBN: 0375410880. New.

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Ballantine Books, 1990. Reviewer: Chadwick H. Saxelid from Concord, CA United States - Rummies is second only to The Girl of the Sea of Cortez as Peter Benhcley's best story. A New York executive has an intervention pulled on him and is whisked away to a rehab facility in Arizona. What goes on there is both funny and infuriating. Benchley seems to understand the alcoholic's twisted logic well and his main character's awakening to his own personal problems and failings ring true. There is a suspense subplot revolving around less than ethical shenanigans at the facility, just to keep the story spicy. An excellent book. Spine lines/tilt/edge wear/no Stamps. Mass Market Paperback. Acceptable. more information
