Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass

<p>Lewis Carroll's novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass (first published in 1865 and 1871, respectively) have entertained readers young and old for more than a century. Their magical worlds, amusing characters, clever dialogue, and playfully logical illogic epitomize the wit and whimsy of Carroll's writing. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland transports you down the rabbit-hole into a wondrous realm that is home to a White Rabbit, a March Hare, a Mad Hatter, a tea-drinking Dormouse, a grinning Cheshire-Cat, the Queen of Hearts and her playing card retainers, and all manner of marvelous creatures. Through the Looking-Glass is your passport to a topsy-turvy world on the other side of the mirror, where you have to run fast just to stay in place, memory works backward, and it is possible to believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast. Both stories feature the colored classic illustrations of John Tenniel. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass is one of Barnes &amp; Noble's Collectible Editions classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed foil-stamped binding, with distinctive colored edging and an attractive ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, leatherbound and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library. (b)</p>

At Last -- THE LONE RANGER appears here for the first time in full-length fiction form. The Lone Ranger Rides is a rip-roaring yarn of the old west which tells how this national hero first became the Lone Ranger, how he acquired his horse, Silver, and how he first met his faithful Indian, Tonto. This is a photographic reproduction of the original text pages of the first edition book.

Here is a smashing, red-blooded mystery yarn, packed with fast action. This is crime as the police in “open” towns know it; hard-boiled detectives and as tough a collection of criminals as can be found in any metropolitan line-up. Torrey sets a speedy pace and the book tears to a climax you won’t forget. Shean Connell, a private detective, sets out to clear up a divorce case in Reno, and finds that he has been framed by the man who is boss of the town’s criminals. After he views the woman in the morgue and has the tip of his ear shot away, he realizes that murder and not divorce is being plotted. Why wouldn’t Tod Wendel’s wife speak to him? Between the wealthy society woman and her husband stood the forces of the underworld—gangsters, white slavers, dope runners—and Shean Connell breaks the case in the hardest-hitting, lustiest mystery novel since Dashiell Hammett. Originally published in 1938 by Hillman-Curl, Inc.

In "The Last Egyptian", the marvels of "The Arabian Nights" are reproduced. The story has its scene laid in modern Egypt, the Egypt of pyramids and trolley cars, of caravans and railways, of desert darkness and electric lights, of barbaric crudeness and porcelain bathtubs. The story rings true. It gets right down to business at the start, and every chapter bristles with exciting situations, intrigue, character study, love complications, fighting, treasure-hunting, and all the other elements which go to make a readable story.

The ghoulish deaths-head always followed upon the bitter-almond smell of hydrocyanic acid—and flesh bubbled horribly in the stew.
