Movie buff and fashion expert, artist David Wolfe turns back the calendar to 1939, the year considered the pinnacle of achievement in Hollywood films. What a glorious year it was! Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, The Women, Ninotchka and more great movies were released. A brand new paper doll book commemorates that year with three glamorous dolls and eight pages of memorable costumes. The list of costume credits is impressive. There are sophisticated contemporary clothes and spectacular period pieces from films including Love Affair, Ice Follies of 1939, Idiot's Delight, Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, In Name Only, Wuthering Heights, Goodbye Mr. Chips, The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle, Midnight and Dark Victory. Worn in films by great stars like Greta Garbo, Bette Davis, Merle Oberon, Irene Dunne, Joan Crawford, Vivien Leigh, Judy Garland and Carole Lombard, the outfits look lovely on a trio of paper dolls with star quality. An especially collectible book for classic movie fans and collectors of David Wolfe s vintage-like paper doll books.

(David Kenyon Webster’s memoir is a clear-eyed, emotionall...)
David Kenyon Webster’s memoir is a clear-eyed, emotionally charged chronicle of youth, camaraderie, and the chaos of war. Relying on his own letters home and recollections he penned just after his discharge, Webster gives a first hand account of life in E Company, 101st Airborne Division, crafting a memoir that resonates with the immediacy of a gripping novel. From the beaches of Normandy to the blood-dimmed battlefields of Holland, here are acts of courage and cowardice, moments of irritating boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror, and pitched urban warfare. Offering a remarkable snapshot of what it was like to enter Germany in the last days of World War II, Webster presents a vivid, varied cast of young paratroopers from all walks of life, and unforgettable glimpses of enemy soldiers and hapless civilians caught up in the melee. Parachute Infantry is at once harsh and moving, boisterous and tragic, and stands today as an unsurpassed chronicle of war—how men fight it, survive it, and remember it. From the Trade Paperback edition.
