How many hours would you survive?

In this unbelievable yet true story, adventurer Aron Ralston is injured in a rock climbing accident. This gripping tale is told in both flashbacks and real time, and there's rarely a dull moment. Even knowing the outcoming- all you have to do is look at the cover!- the reader is still drawn into the story, eager for every detail of his unique experience.

A movie based on this autobiography, starring James Franco, was released in theaters in 2010 under the title "127 Hours".

And, Don't Hold the Anchovies, Please!

My third grade teacher introduced me to the words and art of Shel Silverstein and I have been a fan of his children's books since that time.

Every Thing on It, scheduled to be released in a few weeks, introduces a collection of previously unpublished poems and drawings by Mr. Silverstein. Thanks again, Mr. Dorsey.
