Ginsburgh, Irwin
First, Man. Then, Adam!
Paperback
1978, Pocket, illustrated
Condition: very good
Was the Garden of Eden a spaceship - the original chariot of the gods? Were Adam and Eve our first extraterrestrial visitors? What does the Book of Genesis say about black holes in space? Why do science and the Bible agree that true civilization appeared abut 6000 years ago - almost overnight? How does Stone Age evolution reconcile with the story of Adam and Eve? Millions and millions of readers of Erich von Daniken are already familiar with his startling demonstrations that astronauts from another planet colonized ancient Earth. Now noted physicist Irwin Ginsburgh offers the ultimate proof of visitors from beyond the stars at the dawn of civilization. Read this book to find out why Dr. Ginsburgh says, "Whoever wrote the Book of Genesis knew as much about the Creation of the Universe as science does and knew about it several thousand years ago."

Giskes, H. J.
London Calling North Pole
Paperback
1982, Bantam, illustrated
Condition: very good
The war effort hung on the lines of an enemy radio network. The Allies needed firsthand information. The Dutch faithful tried to provide it. In return, they wanted arms for resistance and bombs for sabotage. The officers of the Abwehr had their own plans. They didn't want to stop the radio transmissions even if they could. They wanted only to know, and control, what England knew. This was Operation Nordpol, one of the most chilling true tales of intrigue in World War II, told by the German spy who was there.

Goodwin, W. L.
The Prospector's Handbook
Hardcover
1936, Industrial & Educational Publishing Co., illustrated
Condition: no dust jacket, shelf wear
Prepared for the instruction and guidance of all prospectors, with special reference to the needs of those prospecting in Canada. But it is hoped that the volume may be found generally useful to all who are interested in the discovery and development of mineral deposits and in the advancement of mineral industries. It will be found that a larger amount of space has been accorded to the description of minerals, the principles of geology, and the subject of mineral deposits than is usual in books written for prospectors. Although a final section of the work is devoted to the subject of prospecting, a great part of the special information required by the prospector will be found scattered through the preceding sections.

Gray, Edwin
A Damned Un-English Weapon: The Story of British Submarine Warfare
Paperback
1974, New English Library
Condition: good
The sceptics called it "Tin Can Warfare" but the men who served in the British Submarine Service in the First World War captured the public's imagination to as great a degree as the Battle of Britain pilots in 1940. Primitive and unreliable, the early craft were in many ways a greater hazard to their crews than were the enemy. But the submariners, by their bravery, daring and skill, carved an imperishable place for themselves in the annals of British Naval warfare.

Gregorovius, Ferdinand
Lucrezia Borgia
Paperback
1969, Signet
Condition: very good
The illegitimate daughter of Pope Alexander VI, she was born into a family that can undoubtedly claim to be the most infamous in history. During her father's primacy, religious principles gave way entirely to the pursuit of worldly power and unfettered immorality reigned. Lucrezia's beauty made her an ideal instrument for her father's political intrigues, but it was her brother, Cesare, whose debauched crimes largely contributed to her notorious reputation for cruelty and incest. First married when she was only 12, Lucrezia had had three husbands by the time she was 21 - all of whom served the Borgia ambitions. Thus it was not until the self-seeking opportunism of her relatives had brought their own downfall, that Lucrezia gained any measure of independence.

Gross, Henry (interviews by)
The Flower People
Paperback
1968, Ballantine, illustrated
Condition: very good
What does it mean when thousands of middle-class young Americans run away from home every year, kicking the comforts and security of the Great Society to wander through derelict ghettos, living on handouts, blowing pot and watching the world drift by? In these extraordinary interviews, the Flower Power generation speaks out on what they left behind and what they have found in the new underground: Maggie, the human trash can who drops any chemical offered to her; Carol, the refugee from suburbia; Harvey, who lived in the Haight-Ashbury district for 13 of his 24 years; Randy, the gay hippy merchant; and others - intellectuals and drop-outs, pacifists and speed freaks - who emerge from the crowd in these intensely moving interviews. A special portfolio of photographs by Larence Shustak illuminates and reinforces the text.

I, A Groupie
Paperback
1975, Pinnacle
Condition: good
Meet Venus - the Happy Hooker of the hard-rock scene. "My name is Venus ... I only need one name. I make it with rock stars." This is Venus' story, as she sees it. A child of the sixties, Venus started hanging out with rock musicians at the nubile age of fifteen. It's a rough, hard way up the ladder in the world of groupies - through straight, weird, love, hate, and group scenes. And Venus has had them all - the greats, the near-greats, and the hangers-on. But when Venus hits the top, she is the living prototype of the sexuality that is rock.

Gurwell, John K.
Mass Murder in Houston
Paperback
1974, Cordovan Press, illustrated
Condition: good
"Mama ... I killed Dean!" Millions of television viewers heard this anguished cry on August 8, 1973. It was blurted into a telephone by 17-year-old Wayne Henley of Houston as cameras whirred and bright lights bathed him. Henley had told police he killed Dean Corll in self-defense. He had led them to a remote shed where he said Corll, a sadistic homosexual, had buried two youths he had slain. But police unearthed 17 bodies in the shed - and suddenly Wayne Henley no longer was an innocent teenager who had killed to save himself. Before they were through, police had disinterred the remains of 27 youths - some of them sexually mutilated - and had unravelled a horror tale of sex, sadism and wanton slaughter that shocked the world. It was the largest mass murder in the country's modern history. This book contains that story. The story of Dean Corll, who ran a candy store but whose white van was equipped with hooks and whose bedroom was covered with plastic and furnished with a "torture board," handcuffs, weapons and erotic paraphernalia. And the story of Wayne Henley and David Brooks, who were first Corll's friends, then his procurers and, finally, his accomplices.
