Book Description
(Applause Books). Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman inebriated America during the Prohibition Twenties, then made everyone forget the Depression in the Thiries via gales of sophisticated laughter. The dynamic playwriting duo created three smash hits together: The Royal Family (1927) * Dinner at Eight (1932) * and Stage Door (1936. All three plays were promptly made by Hollywood into equally famous films Dinner at Eight with Jean Harlow; Stage Door with a young Katharine Hepburn and Lucille Ball; and the Royal Family of Broadway with Frederic March.

Book Description
War Master’s Gate is the ninth book in the critically acclaimed epic fantasy series Shadows of the Apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky. A city makes its last stand . . . The Empire’s mighty imperial armies are marching on Collegium once more. They’ve learnt from past failures and this time their Empress will brook no weakness. Stenwold Maker’s aviators still dominate the skies, but their rule will soon be over. For the Empire has developed a terrifying aerial weapon to level the battlefield. Yet victory may be decided elsewhere. In an ancient forest, where Mantis clans pursue their own civil war, Empress Seda is seeking a lost power from the old world. Cheerwell Maker knows she must stop her rival at any cost, but their conflict could awaken something far deadlier. Something that would make even their clash of nations pale into insignificance. War Master’s Gate is followed by the tenth and final book in the Shadows of the Apt series, Seal of the Worm.

Book Description
Larry Gelbart has contributed to some of the most important and successful comedy works in radio, television, film, and theatre--A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Tootsie, M*A*S*H, and City of Angels--and he has collaborated with such luminaries as Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Neil Simon, Stephen Sondheim, Bob Fosse, and Carl Reiner. Yet, little public attention has been given to this gifted and respected comedy writer. Jay Malarcher's book makes up for this and presents the story of Gelbart's contributions to media history, beginning with his professional career at the age of sixteen writing for the popular radio program Duffy's Tavern to his tenure in television as a writer for Bob Hope, then on to his work in movies and finally focusing on his latest works on cable channels like HBO and Showtime.
