By Arthur Golden

FROM THE COVER: “A literary sensation and runaway bestseller, this brilliant debut novel presents with seamless authenticity and exquisite lyricism the true confessions of one of Japan's most celebrated geisha. In Memoirs of a Geisha, we enter a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl's virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men, and where love is scored as illusion. It is a unique and triumphant work of fiction at once romantic, erotic, suspenseful and completely unforgettable.

"Captivating, minutely imagined, o. a novel that refuses to stay shut? Newsweek

"Part historical novel, part fairy tale, part Dickensian romance, Memoirs of a Geisha immerses the reader in an exotic world. An impressive and unusual debut?" -The New York Times

"Enthralling!. written as if it were a memoir dictated by a geisha. The story draws the reader in from the very first page." USA Today

FROM THE COVER: “"A provocative book about a hallowed institution, the U.S. Supreme Court. . .. It is the most comprehensive inside story ever written of the most important court in the world. For this reason alone it is required reading." Business Week

"It is to the credit of Woodward and Armstrong that they were willing and able to shatter this conspiracy of silence. It is certainly in the highest tradition of investigative journalism to expose the realities of institutions that affect our lives as greatly as the Supreme Court does." SaturdayReview

By Paul White

A colonial idealization of African life written especially to impress young minds.

FROM THE COVER: “As in former volumes in the series. not the least part of the attraction of this book is the contribution made to its pages by the Africans themselves. The reactions of the Wagogo people of the Central Plains of Tanganyika, with their strong sense of humour and their flair for seeing parables in the everyday happenings of life, provide a fascination of their own. In addition to new acquaintances, we find here our old friends Daudi, the Head Dispenser, Sechelela, Perisi and Mwendwa, the nurses, Kefa, Sila and Samson, the dressers, and last, but by no means least, James, who always insists on calling himself "Ward Sister.”
