| Edith Head: The Life and Times of Hollywood's Celebrated Costume Designer Author(s): Chierichetti, David Publisher: Perennial (HarperCollins) Format: Paperback Bargain Book Copy List Price: $15.95 Our Price Only: $9.99 |
| Edith Head is widely considered the most important figure in the history of Hollywood costume design. Her career spanned nearly half a century and included such classic films as Rear Window and Sunset Boulevard. Her private life and professional achievements have been the subject of speculation since she rose to the top in the late 1940s. Ruthlessly competitive and intensely secretive, Head had few close friends and many detractors. Her longtime friend, protégé and confidant David Chierichetti offers a privileged glimpse into the personality behind the famously impenetrable "schoolmarm" facade and a comprehensive account of her creative process. With more than 150 images - including family snapshots, sketches, and studio portraits of the stars and roles she helped to create, Edith Head is a fresh and vital portrait of the designer, as well as of the era she epitomizes. |

| Love Actually Author(s): Curtis, Richard Publisher: St. Martin's Press Format: Paperback Bargain Book Copy List Price: $17.95 Our Price Only: $8.99 |
| Love Actually is the highly awaited new screenplay and directorial debut from phenomenally popular screenwriter Richard Curtis. Weaving together the stories of ten couples, the movie is as real as our own lives, and as funny, wise, and poignant as only Richard Curtis (Four Weddings and a Funeral) could create. Set in contemporary London just before Christmas, the cast includes a lovelorn Prime Minister, an aging rock star, a sexually ambitious assistant, a newly widowed stepfather, a beautiful housekeeper, a straying husband, and other characters entangled in the silly, sloppy, sexy, sweet business of finding love. |

| Recollections of My Life As a Woman: The New York Years Author: di Prima, Diane Publisher: Penguin Books Format: Paperback Bargain Book Copy List Price: $15.00 Our Price: $8.99 |
| An evocative, gritty memoir by the leading woman writer of the Beat Generation. In this rich and passionate memoir, influential poet Diane di Prima explores the first three decades of her extraordinary life. Only by heroic effort was she able to break away from her intense Brooklyn Italian family to follow through on the lifelong commitment to poetry she made in high school. Immersed in the proto-Beat world of Manhattan's early 1950s Bohemia, she emerged as a major force, not only establishing herself as a poet, but also co-editing the influential literary newsletter, The Floating Bear, and co-founding The Poet's Theatre. Recollections of My Life as a Woman chronicles the intense, creative cauldron of those years as the Beat movement emerged on both coasts, and the country accelerated into the sixties. Di Prima was a deliberate single parent at a time when that was unheard of, and her relationships and sexuality were as revolutionary as her writing. This is a powerful and unique remembering of how one woman's life revealed itself to her. |
