| 13. | GIBBS, LEWIS The Admirable Lady Mary: the life and times of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762).
London J.M. Dent & Co. 1949 Hard Cover
255 pages, 15 plates, cloth, dj, very good. From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, 1689-1762, English author, noted primarily for her highly descriptive letters. She was the daughter of the first duke of Kingston. In 1712 she married Edward Wortley Montagu, who became ambassador to Turkey in 1716. On her return to England in 1718 she worked to educate the public in the use of inoculation against smallpox. In 1739 she left her husband and went to live on the Continent. Her Town Eclogues (1747), which gives an entertaining picture of contemporary manners, was first published by Edmund Curll in a pirated edition in 1716. She is remembered for her quarrel with Pope, who had once been her ardent admirer and who attacked her viciously in his poetry. Horace Walpole disliked her also and depicted her as a greedy, heartless eccentric. However, recent studies have defended her as a brilliant woman struggling for emancipation. Her letters were first published in 1763.

| 15. | HALL, SAM with LARRY HUSSMAN and FELICIA LEWIS Counter-Terrorist.
New York Donald I. Fine, Inc. 1987 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good
336 pages, illustrations, maps, cloth, dj, fine. From the publisher: The sensational but true first-person account of checkered life of Sam Hall. Businessman, 1960 Olympic diving medallist, former State Legislator (and brother of a U.S. Congressman), reformed drug addict, and born-again Christian, he became a fighter against terrorists world-wide because ''the thrills and the dangers mated with service to humanity finally made me feel alive.'' Sam Hall's journey of self-discovery began when he quit his management job in his family's business and joined a U.N. peacekeeping mission in the Sinai, where he was trained by Israeli commandoes. Then began an action-filled, five-year career fighting terrorism - buying black market materiel, conning stuffy bureaucrats with falsified documents, illegally crossing borders, setting up a counter-terrorist rescue team, Free Lancers, and sustaining serious combat wounds along the way in such far-flung corners of the globe as Israel and Thailand, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, El Salvador and finally Nicaragua. It was in Central America that Sam Hall's skills in commando warfare were put to their most severe test, requiring him, as Commandante Zulu, to lead rebel forces into Nicaragua for quick strikes against the enemy. While an 'advisor' to the Contras, he crossed paths with such as General John Singlaub, Robert Owen and Lieut. Col. Oliver North. Hall's no-holds barred account of the USA's clandestine activities in Central American culminating with a full explanation of the events leading up to and immediately following Hall's 1996 arrest and imprisonment by the Sandinistas.

| 20. | LEWIS, ALFRED ALLAN The Mountain Artisans quilting book.
New York Macmillan Publishing Co. 1973 Hard Cover Very Good Good
79 pages, very well illustrated, cloth, dj, very good. 8-1/2 by 11 inches. 4th printing. From the publisher: The Mountain Artisans quilting book is the best book on the contemporary adaptation of the old craft of quilting. It is a basic instructional book combining Lewis's lucid instructions with the Coty-Award-winning designs created by Dorothy Weatherford for the Mountain Artisans. At the same time, it tells the heart-warming story of the Mountain Artisans: how the famous West Virginia cooperative was started by a group of idealistic young women, among them Sharon Percy Rockefeller; how their efforts to market the products of a centuries-old craft overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to achieve national recognition and the highest accolade of all, the Coty Award.
