In The Belly of The Beast by Jack Henry Abbott with an introduction by Norman Mailer Original Edition, Printing Location: Random House New York Date: 1981 Size and Page Count: 5.5 X 8.25 Tall, 166 pages Condition: Very Good, no jacket, hardback, white lettering on spine worn or faded from age When In the Belly of the Beast was written, Jack Abbott had spent most of his life in the criminal justice system, first as a juvenile then as an adult. His well written autobiographical work tells many harrowing tales and how Abbott's life was destroyed. Very good book.Seems important to note that Abbott's version of affairs is likely very self serving and incomplete. In 1981, author Norman Mailer got Abbott out of prison mainly on the strength of Abbott's wonderful book. Shortly after his release, Abbott committed a murder. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/710250047

1962. soft. Very Good. The Rothschilds A Family Portrait by Frederic Morton 5.25 X 8.25 Tall with 305 pages Published by Atheneum New York April 1962 Condition: Very Good, no dust jacket, some fading on hardback grey and red cloth covers. A history of the world's richest family which is at times nauseatingly sycophantic. Frederic Morton (real name Fritz Mandelbaum) was given permission to scour the family archives and write a family history. That there were certain conditions imposed upon this access is obvious from the text; the book could well have been called My heroes the Rothschilds ! Review By SmokeNMirrors Leaving the sycophancy aside, this is a compelling story, all the more so given modern conspiracy theories about the Rothschild family owning most of the world's wealth. Morton spells out from family archives how Nathan crashed the London Stock Exchange… Read More
