Presumption: An Entertainment by Julia Barrett, ISBN 0226038130
This witty sequel to Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice follows the fate of Georgiana Darcy, Mr. Darcy's younger sister, who must choose between two suitors, a well-placed navy captain and a brash young architect. Masterfully adapted to Austen's original nineteenth-century style, "Presumption brings back to life the book's most memorable characters, the Bennets, Darcys, Collins, and de Bourghs.
"An elegant emulation and continuation of "Pride and Prejudice. . . . Jointly composed by two admirers of Jane Austen, the book often achieves crisp replication of her style. . . . "Presumption shows how sequel-writing can, like parody, be a sharp exercise in literary appreciation."--Peter Kemp, "Times Literary Supplement

The Coffee Trader
Amsterdam, 1659: On the world's first commodities exchange, fortunes are won and lost in an instant. Miguel Lienzo, a sharp-witted trader in the city's close-knit community of Portuguese Jews, knows this only too well. Once among the city's most envied merchants, Miguel has suddenly lost everything. Now, impoverished and humiliated, living in his younger brother's canal-flooded basement, Miguel must find a way to restore his wealth and reputation.
Miguel enters into a partnership with a seductive Dutchwoman who offers him one last chance at success--a daring plot to corner the market of an astonishing new commodity called "coffee." To succeed, Miguel must risk everything he values and face a powerful enemy who will stop at nothing to see him ruined. Miguel will learn that among Amsterdam's ruthless businessmen, betrayal lurks everywhere, and even friends hide secret agendas.

Man Of The Century (Full Frame)
Take a sharp-dressing, fast-talking, circa 1920s news-paperman, plant him in gritty, modern-day Manhattan and what do you get? An "audacious, Hilarious comedy!" The sidewalks of New York will never be the same thanks to Johnny Twennies (Gibson Frazier), an ace reporter who bangs out his column on an old manual typewriter and is blissfully unaware that he sticks our like a sore thumb. His girlfriend is fed up because he hasn't even kissed her, and the local mob wants to bump him off because he's hot on their trail.

Fair Play: What Your Child Can Teach You about Economics, Values, and the Meaning of Life by Stephen E. Landsburg, ISBN 0684827557
How should we feel about taxes that redistribute income? Ask how parents feel about children who forcibly "redistribute" other children's toys. How should we respond to those who complain that their neighbors are too wealthy? Ask how parents respond when children complain that their siblings got too much cake. By insisting that fairness can't mean one thing for children and another for adults, Landsburg shows that the instincts of the parent have profound consequences for economic justice. Along the way, Landsburg - with his customary sharp wit and challenging logic - pauses to reflect on an astonishing variety of issues in economic theory, the philosophy of parenting, the true nature of family values, and how to get the most out of life. He uses parent-child interactions to explain the economics of free trade and immigration, progressive taxation, minimum wages, racial discrimination, and the role of money. He makes the best possible philosophical cases for and against progressive taxation,...

The Sisters Mallone by Louisa Ermelino, ISBN 0758204337
Growing up Italian and female among the Irish of Hell's Kitchen in the 1930s isn't for shrinking violets. Fortunately, the Mallone sisters--that's Mal-Ion-e, pronounced the Italian way--are shrewd, tough, and sharp-tongued, quick with a Lucky Strike and a good time. While their grandmother Anona insists the whole family is cursed with the evil eye. Helen, Mary, and Gracie prefer to make their own luck with everyone from mobsters to the cops on the beat. But while tough-talking Helen and flirtatious Mary have what it takes to keep the creeps away, their sweet baby sister has it bad for the notorious Frankie--a guy who never met a skirt he couldn't chase or a woman he couldn't make miserable. They're not about to let Gracie ruin her life for a wrong number like Frankie. Sisters have to stick together, no matter what. Now, in downtown Manhattan's darkened nightclub booths, where cigarette girls trade looks with small-time hoods, the sisters Mallone are hatching a wickedly devious plan, one...
