Some Buried Caesar: A Nero Wolfe Mystery
A championship bull, purchased for $45,000, leads to a family feud over its fate--will it be bred or breaded? Before they can decide, a young man is found dead and the bull dies of anthrax, though the evidence says otherwise. Before Nero Wolf can sort it all out, a third body turns up. For this case, Wolfe has to leave his beloved brownstone for upstate New York and put up with lousy food, poor-fitting chairs, and warm beer until he solves the crime.

By the 1960s, it had become a symbol of urban decay and blight, compared by journalists to bombed out Dresden and war-torn Beirut. A dozen casinos and twenty five years later, Atlantic City is once again one of America's most popular tourist spots. Yet visits last an average of a mere six hours, and the highway has replaced the Boardwalk as the city's most important street. Bryant Simon does far more than tell a nostalgic tale of Atlantic City's rise near death, and reincarnation.

Painting Flea Market Furniture
In project after project, such simple applications as color washing, ragging, sponging, and spray-paint spattering transform flea market finds into household treasures. Beautifully done photography, most in full-page format, show the results, while close-ups show every step required to carry out each particular technique. Some of these fabulous items--such as a complete set of nursery pieces-- are designed to work together, but they can stand on their own, too.
