Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is a now-classic novel about two women: Evelyn, who’s in the sad slump of middle age, and gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode, who’s telling her life story. Her tale includes two more women—the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth—who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, offering good coffee, southern barbecue, and all kinds of love and laughter—even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present will never be quite the same again. Praise for Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe “A real novel and a good one [from] the busy brain of a born storyteller.”—The New York Times “Happily for us, Fannie Flagg has preserved [the Threadgoodes] in a richly comic, poignant narrative that records the exuberance of their lives, the sadness of their departure.”—Harper Lee “This whole literary enterprise shines with honesty, gallantry, and love of perfect details that might otherwise be forgotten.”—Los Angeles Times “Funny and macabre.”—The Washington Post “Courageous and wise.”—Houston Chronicle

Louisa May Alcott once wrote that she had taken her pen for a bridegroom. Leona Rostenberg and Madeleine Stern, friends and business partners for fifty years, have in many ways taken up their pens and passion for literature much in the same way. The "Holmes & Watson" of the rare book business, Rostenberg and Stern are renowned for unlocking the hidden secret of Louisa May Alcott's life when they discovered her pseudonym, A.M. Barnard, along with her anonymously published "blood and thunder" stories on subjects like transvestitism, hashish smoking, and feminism. Old Books, Rare Friends describes their mutual passion for books and literary sleuthing as they take us on their earliest European book buying jaunts. Using what they call Finger-spitzengefühl, the art of evaluating antiquarian books by handling, experience, and instinct, we are treated to some of their greatest discoveries amid the mildewed basements of London's booksellers after the Blitz. We experience the thrill of finding one of the earliest known books printed in America between 1617-1619 by the Pilgrim Press and learn about the influential role of publisher-printers from the fifteenth century. Like a precious gem, Old Books, Rare Friends is a book to treasure about the companionship of two rare friends and their shared passion for old books.

Now 20 minutes later he sat at the kitchen table. Elbows straddling his half - eaten breakfast plate as he stared out the kitchen window just above the sink. He'd drunk half a cup of coffee before the questions began surfacing in his mind again. They were the same questions that had been troubling him for months now. It was a beautiful day, but he didn't care, he just kept thinking. "Who am I?" Brad asked himself for perhaps the hundredth time, "and how did I get here?" His mind was flashing back to a day he would never forget. He'd been married to Deana, a petite fiery redhead. She was Irish, one generation removed from the Emerald Isle. They had two children and what to everyone else like a pretty good life. He was a hard worker and loved his family and the happiness it brought him. Not that his life was perfect but it was his life and he knew where he belonged in it. Or had, until the day he'd come home from work to find his apartment nearly empty. Brad's life is about to change when he has a chance meeting with The Little Old Lady. Warren Gray lives in the Pacific Northwest with his family. When he is not writing he enjoys all the area has to offer such as camping, going to the beach, and taking in some of the professional sports that the region offers. He seeks to inspire others through his writing stories of everyday people that encourage others to grow their faith.
