Cheever, John Wapshot Chronicle
Harpercollins Publisher 1973 0060802952 Paperback Good with no dust jacket
Paperback with remainder mark on the bottom of page ends. Note penned in front cover. Paperhole punch in cover. Clean reading copy with lightly tanning pages. ; Remainder; 310 pages; In 1957, when The WAPSHOT CHRONICLE was published, John Cheever was already recognized as a writer of superb short stories. But THE WAPSHOT CHRONICLE, which won the 1958 National Book Award, established him as a major novelist. Seven years later, THE WAPSHOT SCANDAL confirmed his standing. Together, these novels present the complete story of the Wapshot inheritance, from the early 20th century to the 1960s and from a small Massachusetts village to New York and Europe. "THE WAPSHOT CHRONICLE has been a beautifully rewarding experience for me...it is a compelling book. Character after character is perfectly rendered with warmth and detachment. Episode after episode is a model of narrative virtuosity." --Robert Penn Warren

Very clean unmarked book with light wear.

I have improvised a background for myself--genteel, traditional--and it is generally accepted."

Bantam 1992 055335132x Paperback Good with no dust jacket
Some cvoer wear and age, clean unmarked book; 8.2 x 0.6 x 5.2 Inches; 204 pages; In this compelling companion volume to her acclaimed memoir Home Before Dark, Susan Cheever once again gives readers a revealing look into her famous family, whose secrets and eccentricities parallel their genius and successes. Set against the backdrop of Treetops, the New Hampshire family retreat where the Cheevers still summer, and going back several generations, this powerful remembrance focuses on Susan Cheever's mother's family, and includes portraits of her great-grandfather, Thomas Watson, who invented the telephone with Alexander Graham Bell, and her grandfather Milton Winternitz, a brilliant doctor who built Yale Medical School. And of course there is her beloved and talented father John Cheever, the accomplished author who became one of the most well-known writers of the century, often using his family as material. Perhaps most riveting about Susan Cheever's second biographical masterpiece is its exploration of the lives of the Cheever women. At once a unique family portrait and the tale of every family, Treetops draws us effortlessly into a fascinating yet endearingly familiar world.

Chesterton, G. K. The Incredulity of Father Brown
Penguin (Non-Classics) 1975 0140010696 Paperback Good with no dust jacket
Clean copy with general use and wear. Tiny page tears on two beginning pages. 1982 eidition. ; Father Brown Mystery; 192 pages; "There was a brief period during which Father Brown enjoyed, or rather did not enjoy, something like fame. He was a nine days' wonder in the newspaper; he was even a topic of controversy in the weekly reviews. His exploits were narrated eagerly and accurately in any number of clubs and drawing-rooms...his adventures as a detective were even made the subject of short stories appearing in magazines." Strangely enough, this renown reaches him at a most unwelcome time. Sent to officiate in a dispute in South America, he lands in the middle of a revolution, recognized, attacked and left for dead. In fact everyone thinks he is dead--until he rises from his coffin, creating no end of trouble with the natives...for they certainly know a resurrection when they see one!
