Operation Ruby Slipper by John Meyer: “Judy Garland is dropped behind enemy lines in 1943 in this espionage thriller; she’s to bring back a photo of a dangerous Nazi physicist with the camera concealed in the heel of her shoe. Why Judy? Because this man, Franz Kintner, has supplied the OSS with the only lead they have: a request for a picture of Judy, mailed in 1940. They know he’ll surface if twenty-one year old Judy is the bait.” (March 2012)

The Pulse of Mixed Media by Seth Apter: “Imagine that you have been invited to have an intimate discussion with all of your favorite artists: a one-on-one show and tell. You can ask them anything, no holds barred, and hear first-hand the personal stories behind their artwork. This is what you will find on the pages of this book.” (March 2012)

Balls of Leather and Steel by Guy Butler: “As World War II rages across Europe, the paths of two remarkable men cross in one of the most daring rescue missions of the war. As a result of their adventure, bonds of friendship are forged that will last a lifetime.” (January 2012)
