Book Description
In Blood Feud, Colorado Avalanche beat writer Adrian Dater not only submits that the Red Wings-Avalanche rivalry was the most feverish match-up in recent years, but also that there was none better played. No fewer than twenty players have or will eventually make it to the Hall of Fame; the best scorers were matched up against the best goalies; brilliant coaches could be found on both benches; and two of the league's smartest general managers ruthlessly tried to one-up each other at every NHL trade deadline. Blood Feud is a rollicking story of a fierce, and often violent, rivalry.

Book Description
Steve Yzerman is one of the most admired hockey players in one of the sport’s most exciting eras. This is the story of his metamorphosis from Ontario Hockey League sniper to the ultimate NHLer. Stevie Y went fourth overall in the very strong 1983 draft, and has more than double the points of almost anyone else from that year, which includes luminaries like Cam Neely, Sylvain Turgeon, and Pat LaFontaine. He’s one of only three players in NHL history to reach 155 points in a season; Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux are pretty elite company. Only eight players have reached 1000 points in fewer games. And yet for years Yzerman was seen as something of an underachiever. Amazingly, he was overlooked for the ’87 and ’91 Canada Cup squads. Although he was handed the Wings’ captaincy in 1986 when he was only 21, Detroit fans wondered when he would reverse the team’s fortunes. When the Red Wings were bumped from the early rounds of the playoffs in the early ’90s, and were swept in the ’95 final, many fingers pointed at the captain. But a Stanley Cup victory in ’97 elevated Yzerman to greatness. Like Gretzky, Lemieux, and Messier, the centres who had eclipsed him for roster spots on Team Canada, Yzerman proved he was a winner. He proved it again the next season, when he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs’ most valuable player, and yet again in 2002 (when many thought he should have won his second Conn Smythe). He was also pivotal in Team Canada’s first Olympic gold medal win since 1956. He is now in his 21st season with the Red Wings, the longest-serving captain in NHL history. He is one of the league’s highest scorers, and has been called the all-time greatest two-way player, as his Selke Trophy attests. He is also a gritty, inspiring example, as his Masterton Trophy suggests. Though the Red Wings were bounced in the first round of the ’02-’03 playoffs, Yzerman’s leadership and resolve shone though. Douglas Hunter’s Yzerman brings the Wings’ captain to life. Skilled, fearless, indomitable, and affable, Steve Yzerman is perhaps the most-loved and most respected player in the NHL today. If you love hockey, you can’t help loving Steve Yzerman. From the Hardcover edition.

Book Description
Factory Made: Warhol and the Sixties is a fascinating look at the avant-garde group that came together—from 1964 to 1968—as Andy Warhol’s Silver Factory, a cast that included Lou Reed, Nico, Edie Sedgwick, Gerard Malanga, Paul Morrissey, Joe Dallesandro, Billy Name, Candy Darling, Baby Jane Holzer, Brigid Berlin, Ultra Violet, and Viva. Steven Watson follows their diverse lives from childhood through their Factory years. He shows how this ever-changing mix of artists and poets, musicians and filmmakers, drag queens, society figures, and fashion models, all interacted at the Factory to create more than 500 films, the Velvet Underground, paintings and sculpture, and thousands of photographs. Between 1961 and 1964 Warhol produced his most iconic art: the Flower paintings, the Marilyns, the Campbell’s Soup Can paintings, and the Brillo Boxes. But it was his films—Sleep, Kiss, Empire, The Chelsea Girls, and Vinyl—that constituted his most prolific output in the mid-1960s, and with this book Watson points up the important and little-known interaction of the Factory with the New York avant-garde film world. Watson sets his story in the context of the revolutionary milieu of 1960s New York: the opening of Paul Young’s Paraphernalia, Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball, Max’s Kansas City, and the Beautiful People Party at the Factory, among many other events. Interspersed throughout are Watson’s trademark sociogram, more than 130 black-and-white photographs—some never before seen—and many sidebars of quotes and slang that help define the Warholian world. With Factory Made, Watson has focused on a moment that transformed the art and style of a generation.

Book Description
A Lost Lady is a novel by American author Willa Cather, first published in 1923. It centers on Marian Forrester, her husband Captain Daniel Forrester, and their lives in the small western town of Sweet Water, along the Transcontinental Railroad. However, it is mostly told from the perspective of a young man named Niel Herbert, as he observes the decline of both Marian and the West itself, as it shifts from a place of pioneering spirit to one of corporate exploitation. Exploring themes of social class, money, and the march of progress, A Lost Lady was praised for its vivid use of symbolism and setting, and is considered to be a major influence on the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. It has been adapted to film twice, with a film adaptation being released in 1924, followed by a looser adaptation in 1934, starring Barbara Stanwyck. A Lost Lady begins in the small railroad town of Sweet Water, on the undeveloped Western plains. The most prominent family in the town is the Forresters, and Marian Forrester is known for her hospitality and kindness. The railroad executives frequently stop by her house and enjoy the food and comfort she offers while there on business. A young boy, Niel Herbert, frequently plays on the Forrester estate with his friend. One day, an older boy named Ivy Peters arrives, and shoots a woodpecker out of a tree. He then blinds the bird and laughs as it flies around helplessly. Niel pities the bird and tries to climb the tree to put it out of its misery, but while climbing he slips, and breaks his arm in the fall, as well as knocking himself unconscious. Ivy takes him to the Forrester house where Marian looks after him. When Niel wakes up, he's amazed by the nice house and how sweet Marian smells. He doesn't't see her much after that, but several years later he and his uncle, Judge Pommeroy, are invited to the Forrester house for dinner. There he meets Ellinger, who he will later learn is Mrs. Forrester's lover, and Constance, a young girl his age.
