This book gathers the most beautiful pictures of the legendary Mick Jagger, taken by some of the greatest photographers in the world. His extremely distinctive face has made him the archetypal rock star: Mick Jagger is universal. His physique and the way he moves have helped fashion the myth of the über-sexy male celebrity. His mouth has become the emblem of his band The Rolling Stones.

In 1925, Tim Mara was sidetracked from backing pugilist Gene Tunney's career, so he turned his attention to pro football-with a $500 investment. Looking for a big-name player, he signed an aging Jim Thorpe, but the great one couldn't make it through a season. Mara made a run at Red Grange, but Grange joined the Bears instead. The Giants and Bears faced off that December in front of 70,000 fans in the Polo Grounds. Mara cleared $30,000-a huge sum for a money-losing franchise-and the rest is chronicled in New York Giants: Yesterday & Today.

This comprehensive, lavishly illustrated history of one of football's most famous franchise includes these stories:
? The first NFL title game, in 1933, and the "Sneaker Game" in 1934, when the Giants switched from cleats to sneakers at halftime to negotiate the frozen Polo Grounds turf and beat the Cleveland Browns
? "The Greatest Game Ever Played," in 1958, when the Baltimore Colts defeated the Frank Gifford and the Giants in sudden death overtime, the first time that had happened in a league championship game
? Super Bowl XXV, when the Giants wore down the Buffalo Bills but needed Scott Norwood's kick to sail wide right to secure a 20-19 win
? And Super Bowl XLII, when quarterback Eli Manning and receiver David Tyree hooked up for "Catch 42" en route to the Giants' second Super Bowl win, over the previously undefeated New England Patriots

The Giants' offenses are known for their power running, led by the likes Tuffy Leemans, Rodney Hampton, Tiki Barber, and Brandon Jacobs. But it's the defense that's set the franchise apart, including Emlen Tunnel, Lawrence Taylor, and Michael Strahan. And with great coaches like Steve Owen, Bill Parcells, and Tom Coughlin-and quarterbacks like Eli Manning and Phil Simms-there's virtually no end to the talent profiled in New York Giants: Yesterday & Today.

The date of the arrest is provided, along with the fascinating, shocking, and sometimes ludicrous stories of the circumstance that led to the arrest, as well as occasional details of the trial and punishment (or merely the humble apology) that followed.

You Gotta By Kidding! The Wacky Book of Mind-Boggling Questions by Randy Horn, Stephanie Ring, Marissa Fierz

Why should grown-ups have all the fun? From the author of Zobmondo!!, the adult party book of outrageous choices, comes You Gotta Be Kidding!

Adapted from the hugely popular board game, this interactive and completely engaging book serves up hundreds of bizarre, embarrassing, sometimes ethical and sometimes stomach-churning dilemmas that kids will love to pose to their friends and siblings, whether in the backseat, on a sleepover, at a party, on a rainy day, or during a lull in the lunchroom (if you dare).

Ponder the icky:
Would you rather eat 10 pounds of cheese -OR- a bucket of peanut butter — with nothing to drink?

The exponentially icky:
Would you rather drink liquid found leaking from a garbage can -OR- chew on a hairy clump found between the cushions of an old couch?

The fantastic:
Would you rather be able to talk with all animals -OR-be able to understand all languages?

The priority-testing:
As a soccer player, would you rather mess up and score a goal for the other team but still have your team win -OR- play your best game ever even though your team loses?

And the hair-raising:
Would you rather swim across a river that is filled with crocodiles -OR- spend the night on an island where man-eating tigers live?

Fascinating sidebars throughout are filled with interesting ancillary information — the nature of drool, left-handedness vs. righthandedness, what’s dangerously filthy and what’s just gross, why we blush when we’re embarrassed — that will help kids make their choice.

Features:
* Soft cover book

Drum roll. The Fifth Edition of the perennially popular Pretty Good Joke Book is everything the first four were and more.

More jokes about chickens, relationships, and senior moments (The nice thing about Alzheimer's is you can enjoy the same jokes again and again). It all started back in 1996, when A Prairie Home Companion fans laughed themselves silly during the first Joke Show. The broadcast was such a hit that it became an almost-annual gagfest. Then fans wanted to read the jokes, share them, and pass them around, and the first Pretty Good Joke Book was born.

Dare: Lick your lips in the steamiest way possible.

Truth: On a scale of one to ten, rate your bedroom skills. Tell me the reason for that score.

Dare: I’m going to draw a tiny x somewhere on my body. Your job is to kiss me all over until you find it.

Truth: Pretend you’re a critic and give me a review of my performance the last time we were in bed.

Dare: Pick a spot on my body that isn’t usually considered sexual—elbows, knees, ankle—and lavish it with kisses until I’m turned on.

Whether the players tell the truth or take the dare…the results are HOT!

Learn about the fascinating story of Yankee Stadium, when and why it was built, Lou Gehrigs tearful farewell, and what makes the stadium unique and beloved. In addition learn all about the exciting World Series in which the Yankees played, their exciting wins and rare heartbreaking losses.

 

Diamonds aren’t forever. After the 2008 season, the seemingly immortal “House That Ruth Built” will shut its gates forever—to be replaced by a brand-new stadium just a homer’s length away. As if anything could ever replace Yankee Stadium in the hearts and memories of New York Yankees’ fans. Memories are what this book is about. From the moment it opened on April 18, 1923, Yankee Stadium was a phenomenon: It was more than double the size of any ballpark at the time. And what was happening on the field was just as phenomenal. In the third inning of that opening-day game, Babe Ruth hit the home run he deemed the most satisfying of his career. That fall, the stadium hosted the first of the many World Series games that would be played there over the ensuing 85 years. And that, of course, was just the beginning. Remembering Yankee Stadium brilliantly and beautifully documents the stadium’s entire career through a decade-by-decade account, a priceless collection of historical photographs, and, most movingly, the vivid, first-person reminiscences of the people to whom this “citadel of sport” has meant so much: entertainers and politicians, broadcasters and sportswriters, players and fans. No Yankees fan—no baseball fan—will be able to resist this incredible book.

 

Synopsis
The exodus of the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers to the west after the 1957 season left a gaping hole in the fabric of the New York sports community. In 1962, the New York Mets stepped in to fill the void – an impossible task for any expansion team, but especially for this band of lovable losers in a city spoiled by the success of the New York Yankees. Led by the inimitable Casey Stengel, the '62 Mets set the mark for futility in major league baseball, winning a mere 40 games while losing 120.

It didn't get much better in the ensuing years – until 1969. It was then that the Miracle Mets, just two years removed from losing 101 games, shocked the world, defeating the powerhouse Baltimore Orioles in the World Series, 4 games to 1. Seventeen years later, the bad boys of '86 pulled off one of the most remarkable comebacks in sports history when they defeated the cursed Boston Red Sox to win the Mets' second world championship. And in 2000, the Amazin' Mets fought their way into a Subway Series showdown with the crosstown rival Yankees.

Along the way, throughout the ups and downs, the cast of characters, both Hall of Famers and underachievers, has rarely failed to entertain. Through vintage and modern photos, baseball cards, memorable stories, and sports trivia, 101 Reasons to Love the Mets celebrates this one-of-a-kind team.

Mickey Mantle: Stories and Memorabilia from a Lifetime with the Mick
by Mickey Herskowitz, Danny Mantle, David Mantle, David Mantle (With), Danny Mantle (With)

From Our Editors
Mickey Charles Mantle (1931-95) was just 22 when he graced his first Time cover, but that honor occurred at only the first inkling of his fame. This 3-time American League MVP and 16-time All-Star became an international celebrity and an authentic sports superhero; an embodiment of on-the-field power, speed, and selflessness. Off the field, Mantle's life was a shambles; his alcoholism and habitual infidelity wrecked his marriage; all four of his sons suffered from drinking problems; and his faulty business sense and prolific spending left him on shaky financial ground. This large-format illustrated biography, the first book ever compiled with the full cooperation of the Mantles, contains ten pullout facsimile memorabilia from the family archives.

From the Publisher
Some say he was the greatest ever-a rare combination of power and speed who made acrobatic catches and never failed to get a hit when his team needed it most. The son of an Oklahoma miner, he was the anchor in center field for a Yankees team that won seven world championships. He was three times the league MVP, he won the Triple Crown in 1956, and in 1961 he dueled teammate Roger Maris in a thrilling race for the single-season home run record. He was so famous that to identify him people didn't even bother to say his last name or even all of his first. He was known, simply, as The Mick.

Mickey Mantle is the first-ever illustrated biography published with the support of the Mantle family. Covering his entire life from his impoverished youth to his glorious career to his poignant sunset years, it features rare photos and never-before-seen memorabilia, with 10 pull-out, removable facsimiles. It also includes intimate stories collected over the years by his sons and his friend, writer Mickey Herskowitz- stories that will be new even to the most avid Mantle enthusiasts. This book is an absolute must for Mantle fans of every stripe, Yankees fans, and baseball fans in general.

The Beatles: 365 Days is a dazzling photographic survey-in 425 black-and-white and color images, most of which are rarely or never before seen-that follows the Beatles through the arc of their spectacular career from 1963 to 1970. Arranged chronologically, the photos trace the story of the band, from their emergence on the scene in England, through their rise to international superstardom, to their very public breakup in 1970. Every aspect of their evolution from mop-tops to legends is depicted, including their personal lives, performances, press conferences, recording sessions, public appearances, photo sessions, filmmaking, and more. The captions by Simon Wells are rich in detail and provide both band history and cultural context for the photographs, as well as quotes from members of the band and those associated with them that have never been published.

For nearly five decades Barbra Streisand has been one of the singular figures in American entertainment. From the cabaret to the Broadway stage, from television and film stardom to her acclaimed work as a director, from the recording studio to the concert hall, she has demonstrated that the extraordinary voice that launched her career was only one of her remarkable gifts.

Now, in her first book, Barbra Streisand reveals another aspect of her talent: the taste and style that have inspired her beautiful homes and collections.

A culmination and reflection of Streisand's love of American architecture and design between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, the book contains many of her own photographs of the rooms she has decorated, the furniture and art she has collected, and the ravishing gardens she has planted on her land on the California coast. In addition to glimpses of her homes, Barbra shares memories of her childhood, the development of her sense of style, and what collecting has come to mean to her. My Passion for Design is a rare and intimate private tour into the world of one of our most beloved stars. It will be welcomed by her many fans and all lovers of the great achievements of American design.

Arguably one of the best-known and most-visited urban parks in the world, Central Park was originally created to provide an open space for Manhattan's booming population to escape the noise and pollution of the busy city. Today, you'll still find New Yorkers (and millions of tourists!) languishing on the Park's lush lawns, jogging along its paths, skating on Wollman Pond, or riding the historic carousel. Visit this amazing park and its remarkable history in Central Park Then and Now. Officially completed in 1873, Central Park is filled with man-made lakes, ponds, winding paths, pavilions, and attractive buildings. As the photographs show, many structures—including an old elevated railway—were removed to make room for the new park. Compare the old Central Park Menagerie to the modern Central Park Zoo. In its early days, the park received many exotic animals as gifts, expanding the Menagerie. A zoo building was designed to house the animals in 1934. Come rub Balto's nose! This hero sled dog has achieved a polished gold appearance as generations of children have come to rub his nose for luck.
