Book Description
What would you write if no one knew who you were?
In the spirit of the demolition derby, where drivers take heedless risks with reckless abandon, welcome to the first convocation of the Secret Society of Demolition Writers. Here is a one-of-a-kind collection by famous authors writing anonymously–and dangerously. With the usual concerns about reputations and renown cast aside, these twelve daredevils have each contributed an extreme, no-holds-barred unsigned story, each shining as brightly and urgently as hazard lights.
Unconventional and unapologetic, this publishing equivalent of a whodunit features an eclectic group of fictional characters, including a delusional schizophrenic narrator, an egg donor with second thoughts about her decision, a pharmacist who forms a weird crush on a woman who beat both of her parents to death, and a little girl who understands that an old safe is the threshold to another, ghostly, world. Equally diverse and surprising are the authors themselves:
Aimee Bender, Benjamin Cheever, Michael Connelly, Sebastian Junger, Elizabeth McCracken, Rosie O’Donnell, Chris Offutt, Anna Quindlen, John Burnham Schwartz, Alice Sebold, Lauren Slater, and Marc Parent, the editor of the collection. Never before has such a wide-ranging and talented group of authors been assembled to such explosive and entertaining effect.
The Secret Society of Demolition Writers is an intriguing puzzle in itself, but it’s also an important addition to the careers of some of our finest storytellers–even if we never really know who wrote what. Its boundary-smashing fiction offers exhilarating proof that for an artist, withholding your identity can mean gaining your freedom.

Interesting Concept but a Lot of Very Average Stories Within.......2007-05-27
Marc Parent has edited a collection that is an interesting and unique concept where authors have presented stories to be published that are not in their usual style. So as to avoid public expectations and criticism from hard core fans who are only satisfied with reading more or less the same thing over and over again they have kept their anonymity by not saying which of them wrote which story. Criticism of authors not producing the same old same old certainly does happen. Just read some of the tunnel vision reviews from some Harlan Coben fans of a non Myron Bolitair novels, Alex Cross fans of James Patterson novels, Dr Alan Gregory fans of Stephen White novels and even one of the authors in this collection Michael Connelly when he writes something that doesn't have Harry Bosch is often heavily criticised. So you can understand why being able to submit work in this format of the Secret Society of Demolition Writers would appeal so much to authors.
The problem for Marc Parent is that other than Connelly, Parent has really struggled to come up with anyone else that the casual reader is likely to have come across before, so therefore the whole purpose of the book really means nothing. Also the quality of some of these stories is pretty poor with not really anything happening in a few of stories meaning it is more likely some authors have just submitted work that was rejected by their publishers or they would be ashamed to put their name on. The other problem relates to the good stories like The Safe Man and Good Sport. You have no way of knowing who the author was to check out and enjoy more of their work in the future.
Overall this is a very average collection with only a few good stories. The concept is great and should be tried again, but you need more famous authors and you still need to stick to the traditional editing concept of the rejection of average stories.
the secret society of demolition writers.......2006-11-03
I was dissappointed. Many of the stories were based around sexually explicit themes. I was looking for something more imaginative than that from these authors.
We wined, dined and discussed........2005-08-27
My book club recently had the pleasure of discussing this fabulous collection of short stories edited by writer, Marc Parent. When he presented such famous writers as Anna Quindlen, Sebastian Junger, Aimee Bender and others with the opportunity to write anonomously and "dangerously" they jumped at the opportunity. We not only enjoyed reading and discussing the intriguing and sometimes odd stories; we also took great pleasure in being detectives by trying to figure out who wrote what. It gave us twice the enjoyment for our money. I would highly recommend this for indivivual enrichment or book club discussion.

One of the best reads from the 90's.......2007-05-16
As with the first trade, this book is packed with story. Starman Vol. 2 is where many characters and long running plot themes are introduced. I've read this all before so it's really a treat to see how many of the later stories are seeded by this one volume. Very recommended.
a believeable hero!!!!.......2004-07-11
Starman is what I beleive a real hero would be like. This vol. has one of the most wicked villian's in memeory Harris's artwork is amazing Robinson's writing is top notch this is the reason I got back into comic's in the first place. Be sure to read all the 8 volumes in the collection, the ninth is on it's way!
Starman is the .....!!.......2003-06-19
This book took me by surprise. The real believeable aspect of the character was entertaining. The way that James Robinson depicted his character was different in a good way. I can't forget to applaud the new mist, Nash one messed up individual who has a weird love/hate relationship with Jack Knight. I highly recommend it for not only the writing but also the Tony Harris artwork as well. I also suggest you read book 1 for better insight of the character unlike i did.
What makes a man a hero?.......2001-06-26
In this collection Jack Knight starts to assume the role of hero. Whether fighting to free enslaved carnival performers (and in the process meeting another of DC's various Starmen), or meeting the new Mist and running her gauntlet; Jack Knight starts his transformation into a true hero. Not fighting for revenge or glory, he is a hero because it's the right thing to do. That may sound trite to some, but the truly wonderful thing about this character is Robinson's ability to create a superhero that has no agenda other than protecting his city and the people in it. Comic readers often ask themselves," What if a real person became a superhero?" This might be as close as we'll get to the answer.
Great book! Highly recommended!.......2000-08-08
Starman: Night and Day is a joy to read. It's full of well developed characters in a great story, told in an innovative way. Robinson thought this out very well. It is nothing like the mindless storylines you encounter in most comic books, which seem to me mostly made up as they go along. There is a point to Starman, and it's fun to discover it.
Another rare quality in this book is that it can be reread often and still retain much of it's original charm. My only knitpicking critism is that some of the artwork could have been better. But the plot more then makes up for it, and I love the dialog. Check this book out. It won't disappoint.
Book Description

Francis Stevens: A Legendary Science Fantasy Writer.......2007-05-03
Francis Stevens was the pen name of Gertrude Bennett, an American writer of uncommon imagination whose work appeared in Argosy, Thrill Book and other early pulp magazines of the late teens and early twenties of the last century. Described as "the greatest woman writer of science fantasy" in the 100-plus years between Mary Shelley and Catherine Moore by science fiction historian Sam Moskowitz, Stevens is best known today for her longer works, The Heads of Cerberus, The Citadel of Fear, and Claimed, all of which have been reprinted within the past couple of decades. The Nightmare and Other Tales of Dark Fantasy is the first collection of her shorter work, most of which has not been reprinted in over 50 years.
A young widow and a single mother, Francis Stevens earned very little as a pulp writer and eventually gave up her writing career to earn a more reliable living as a secretary. She was a writer of genuine verve and spirit who deserves to be better known today.

Book Description
In this magisterial study, Norman J. Girardot focuses on James Legge (1815-1897), one of the most important nineteenth-century figures in the cultural exchange between China and the West. A translator-transformer of Chinese texts, Legge was a pioneering cross-cultural pilgrim within missionary circles in China and within the academic world of Oxford University. By tracing Legge's career and his close association with Max Müller (1823-1900), Girardot elegantly brings a biographically embodied approach to the intellectual history of two important aspects of the emergent "human sciences" at the end of the nineteenth century: sinology and comparative religions.
Girardot weaves a captivating narrative that illuminates the era in which Legge lived as well as the surroundings in which he worked. His encyclopedic knowledge of pertinent figures, documents, peculiar ideologies, and even the personal quirks of principal and minor players brings the world of imperial China and Victorian England very much to life. At the same time, Girardot gets at the roots of much of the twentieth-century discourse about the strange religious or nonreligious otherness of China.

Ambitious and successful intellectual biography of James Legge.......2005-09-14
In an ambitious yet rippingly successfull break from the staid academic tradition of endnotes, Dr. Girardot delivers a veritable tour-de-force with his latest scholarly work, "The Victorian Translation of China: James Legge's Oriental Pilgrimage." The reader will delight in literally hundreds of footnotes detailing the Missionary James Legge's symbolic and literal pilgrimage to the China of yore, detailing and amplifying on such electrifying subjects such as: "How does Legge relate to Confucianism through Christianity?"; "What is Max Müller 'Motto'?"; and finally, "Who is General Tso, and why is his chicken so good?". Not since "An Annotated Transliteration of the Alphabet", by Dr. Farles Pikquens (ret.) has such a well-researched book so thoroughly expanded vistas of hermeneutical inquiry into this otherwise "forgotten Victorian sage".
Before you do anything else, read this book.......2003-10-25
This book takes a detailed look at the Victorian-era translation of China in the context of both a symbolic and literal pilgrimage to the Orient. It may be said to be an intellectual biography of James Legge. I liked the book because of the extensive, well-researched footnotes. I would fully and unreservedly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the trials and tribulations of the Victorian-era translation of China. While the book requires a small commitment of time from the reader, it provides in return a unique and fully formed picture of an interesting subject.

you need this book.......2002-08-17
Marlena Spieler is simply the BEST! Her recipes work, they're fully seasoned and colorful. I love her stuff. She writes columns in the SF Chronicle that are always a great read - as colorful as her recipes are and as colorful as SHE is! She's one of those fabulous, lively, energetic people who is way way OUT THERE. I recommend all her books -- and I'm a cooking/food professional so take it from me.
One of the BEST Cookbooks ever!.......2000-12-06
I think this is one of the most interesting, helpful cookbooks ever! In it Marlena Spieler shows you how to set up your pantry (which, if your like me, is a big plus) and cook hundreds of great recipes! She gives a description of each item that should go in your pantry and then gives you recipes that include it! And another good thing is, that if you have a 'well-stocked kitchen' it's a good deal easier to cook anything, not just recipes from her book.
Book Description
The 8,100 swords manufactured in the grounds of the Yasukuni Shrine between 1933 and 1945 are an exceptional legacy, as artifacts that preserved not only time-honored forging methods but the aesthetic and spiritual traditions of the samurai warrior.
No other weapon in the world can boast of possessing such a high spiritual quality as the Japanese sword. For over a thousand years the sword was revered as the very soul of the samurai warriors who wielded it, commanding awe, respect, and an almost religious devotion. The tumultuous events of
modern Japanese history and the nation's relentless drive toward technological advancement, however, irrevocably sealed the sword's fate, and, along with the samurai class, the sword became an anachronism, both culturally and militarily.
As Japan entered a period of unprecedented Imperial expansion in the early twentieth century, the Japanese sword, despite its limited practical effect, became a feature of the soldier's arsenal-an echo of the mythical status it enjoyed in feudal times. The Yasukuni swords emerged during the build-up
to World War II, in part to help meet the huge demands of the Imperial Army, but more importantly out of a desire to preserve time-honored forging methods, and to revive the spirit of the samurai. For these reasons, they were notably distinct from so-called "Showa-to," which were mass-produced and
inferior in quality and artistry.
All swords were banned in the immediate aftermath of World War II, and the decades that followed have seen a decline in the popularity of Yasukuni swords, largely because of their associations with that war and the military. Another factor has been the stigma attached to Showa-to, which has helped
to stereotype wartime swords in general.
Recent years, however, have seen a renewed interest in the surviving Yasukuni swords. Many collectors and appraisers have acknowledged the workmanship of these swords as displaying a perfect blend of technology and tradition, and a quality that can rival even that of the great classical smiths.
In his tribute to the Yasukuni smiths, acclaimed photographer and sword enthusiast Tom Kishida has compiled an extensive study of these rare and exceptional swords, drawing on a variety of sources to shed light on this often little-understood chapter of Japanese sword history. With his unique eye
for capturing the beauty of the blades in his photographs, he has provided the reader with the most lavishly detailed book on Yasukuni swords to date. This will be an important addition to the libraries of specialists and connoisseurs, and to those who wish to deepen their understanding of these
fascinating wartime weapons.

The forgotten swords from Yasukuni.......2007-01-25
Books on Japanese swords are by their nature scarce and expensive. Many of them are out of date, or of supeficial scholarship. And many of the best ones are in Japanese, which makes it difficult for the English speaking collector/ enthusiast to use. But this book is an essential reference
in this field of interest.
Most books of Japanese swords cover the old historic swords. But since there are only so many of these surviving, a new market in swords made after the age of the Samurai have become popular. Hence the interest in swords made in modern times, but in the traditional manner.
This book originally appeared in Japanese in 1998, and was translated in 2004. It covers the efforts in the 1980s to commemorate the traditional
Japanese sword smithy and manufacturing unit that existed at Yasukuni
shrine from 1933 to 1945. Yasukuni shrine was founded in the late 19th century in Tokyo to commemorate the spirits of Japanese war dead.
A number of these smiths were located, and some made swords which
were part of special exhibition. Eventually a special presentation sword was made by a group of these artisans, and given to the shrine marking the 50th anniversary.
Most of the production of these swords were given as presentation pieces
to graduates of the Army and Naval officer schools. Also a number were ordered by the Imperial household. All of the swords made at Yasukuni
were of the highest quality, and rigid quality control was enforced.
The book is full of wonderful details about the smiths and artisans working in Yasukuni, the establishment and history of the unit, and its demise at the end of WW II. There are numerous pictures of these swords, their inscriptions, production notes, even the layout of the sword
shop. There are also the basics about Japanese sword making and the
traditional forge and tools involved. For a slim volume like this, there is
an amazing amount of information and research packed into it. In all
approximately 8100 swords were made at Yasukuni from 1933 to 1945.
This is an excellent book and essential addition to anyone with an interest in Japanese swords, Japanese history, arms & armour, or WW II in the Pacific theatre.
The preservation of the art of Japanese swordsmithing.......2005-03-26
Few things carry the taint of Imperialism like Yasukuni Shrine. Dedicated to war dead, the shrine became a symbol for the Emperor cult of WWII Axis Japan, with Class A war criminals such as General Tojo being honored there. In modern Japan, it is a last remaining relic, after State Shinto was banned by the US occupation forces, and even today an official visit by a government official creates an uproar in the Asian nations abused by the Japanese army.
With this in mind, a book titled "The Yasukuni Swords" carries the same aura as a book titled "The Auschwitz Bayonets" or "The Mai Lai Guns." Even amongst Nihonto enthusiasts, WWII era swords were known for their inferior quality and mass production, handed off to soldiers before being sent off to slaughter. But this book, "The Yasukuni Swords: Rare Weapons of Japan 1933-1945" is not about ignominious history or garbage blades. It is about the preservation of an ancient art, rescued from oblivion. In this case, it is the end, not the means that matter.
By the time of the inauguration of the Yasukuni Forge, in 1933, there were less than 10 swordsmiths in remaining in Japan. The sword-banning act of the Meiji Restoration had almost caused the extinction of perhaps the most refined tradition of swordcraft the world has ever known. Even of the 10, only one, Gassan Sadakatsu, was able to make blades of ancient quality. The military government in power, attempting to foster their aggression with the resurrection of the samurai spirit, gathered the remaining swordsmiths at Yasukuni Shrine, and established the forge. This is their story.
Their story is fascinating indeed, as is the tale of the slow and painful resurrection of the swordsmithing art. Not only the smiths themselves, but all the accompanying crafts needed revival. The unique ore needed was in short supply, and the oral tradition of its processing was in the minds of 80-year old men. The blade polishers and the hilt wrappers all needed to be sought out and new craftsmen trained. Specific to the Yasukuni Forge, only traditional hand-craft was used, forging blades for officers and high-ranking Imperials, rather than the machine-forged blades of the common soldier during the war.
In the end, up to 200 new swordsmiths were raised from the fires of the Yasukuni Forge, ensuring the survival of Japanese swordcraft for future generations.
In addition to this fascinating history, "The Yasukuni Swords: Rare Weapons of Japan 1933-1945" catalogs the blades of that era, showing the distinct markings and techniques and rediscovery of the art. There are articles on the Yasukuni Forge from the 1940s, as well as modern essays on the blades. Photographs bring the whole history to life, and this is one of the most fascinating books I have read for some time.
A Photo Record and a History.......2005-03-16
The Japanese sword occupied a position in their military culture not unlike that of the engraved pistols in American culture. One important class of Japanese swords are the 8,100 swords produced on the grounds of the Yasukuni Shrine between 1933 and 1945. The group of swordsmiths collected there preserved the time-honored forging methods and the aesthetic and apiritual traditions of the samurai warrior.
In the aftermath of World War II sword ownership was banned in Japan and many of these swords were destroyed. Others became war booty and were removed to the victors countries.
After the manufacturing of swords was allowed in 1954 many of the smiths began making swords again, but independently.
This book is both a collection of photographs of Yasukuni swords and a story of the swordsmiths and the institution. It is a book that speaks of these historic swords with reverence.
Customer Reviews:
Very worthwhile.......2006-12-05
I've been waiting for this book on back order and it was worth the wait! The scenery pictures in the book which have been embroidered (very well) by Sue's students, present a real variety of scenes and what interests me the most is some of them have other skills besides embroidery used, for example, you can create a realistic stone wall - and a gate! I love that kind of creativity because it adds to the picture you are creating and means you can embroider anything at all, not just landscapes. Each secne in the book has information on stitches used, and preparation, eg, some have painted sky or background which adds to the realisticness of the scenes. The scenes are English in case you are Australian or American/Canadian, but the majority just need local flowers added to make it fit your country. Excellent book, can't wait for her other book to arrive!
Inspirational Embroidery Ideas!!!.......2002-04-09
This is an absolutely amazing book. As a moderately experienced embroiderer and fiber arts person, I mostly drew inspiration and instruction from the many color pictures, not just of the author's embroideries, but those of her students! The embroideries pictured are just stunning. What is truly impressive is just how technically simple this embroidery style is. She does provide very complete instructions on the stitches (straight stitches, french knots, and lazy daisies are about as complicated as it gets) but mostly this book is about ideas and artistry. She provides complete directions on one example, but then clearly she wants you to branch out and embroider your own gardens and landscapes. And I was able to! I'm not the greatest artist, but using this book I've been able to create original embroidery designs that look almost as good as those in the book! If you are getting a little tired of cross-stitch or following other people's designs, this is the book for you!
Customer Reviews:
Good craft instructions and easy to follow recipes!.......2006-11-29
This book is light on the overall Christmas decorating theme of country home but has excellent instructions for ornament making and food. Nothing about older Christmas decorations. Basically a Better Homes and Garden craft/cook book.
