Lustre/Roli Books, 2010. Softcover. New. Few people know just how much more there is to Agra than the Taj Mahal. A recent listing by INTACH has identified many beautiful ruined Mughal gardens, tombs and mosques, colonial buildings, and havelis along the winding lanes of the old city. For those who want to range wider than the normal tourist route, Lucy Peck`s new book takes the visitor through historic Agra and Fatehpur Sikri, revealing the lesser-known buildings to be found in both places. It is illustrated with photos, line drawings and numerous maps, many of which feature walks through the historic areas. Printed Pages: 186., Lustre/Roli Books, 2010, N.Y.: Morrow, 1998. 1st edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. "Bedecked with humor, shiv-sharp dialogue and a surfeit of urban lore, this surreal fiction debut from New York Daily News columnist McAlary (Good Cop, Bad Cop) crackles from the first page. NYPD inspector Mickey Donovan, aka "The Wraith," walks the city streets trying to find his junkie daughter, Dillon. Professional tennis player Ginny Glade gets a bad line call in a tournament final and beans the umpire in a parking lot with a tire iron. A seemingly random gunshot fired from a passing train kills a female baseball umpire, and Ginny's murderous feelings escalate when her ex-husband hits an unlikely home run during a World Series game. Then another bad call leads to another uniformed stiff. While Ginny seems a good suspect for one or more of the killings, she soon becomes an unlikely mother figure for Dillon, who's driving Donovan to distraction. Umpires keep on dying and an endlessly scheming mayor calls for an arrest. Worse, professional sports lose some of their luster as fearful referees and umpires hesitate to make the good call, settling instead for the safe one. Meanwhile, Mickey falls for Ginny and she responds in kind?but she has also drawn the attention of a murderer. McAlary favors a style somewhere between Jimmy Breslin and veteran crime writer Jerome Charyn, allowing him to seem at once wonderfully well-informed and spectacularly inventive. His dialogue is slick and assured and he takes chances seldom seen in a debut mystery,.." --Publishers Weekly. First Edition. Hard Cover. NF/Fine. Book., Morrow, 1998, Westland Ltd, 2010. Softcover. New. Ratna Rajaiah takes a walk down memory lane, only to find it redolent with the aromas of her mother’s and grandmother’s kitchens, and lined with the spices and condiments of her youth. Pausing often, she meets old culinary friends – coconuts and chillies, mangoes and jackfruit, ragi and channa dal, ghee and jaggery, mustard seeds and curry leaves – and introduces us to almostforgotten joys, like the sight of steaming kanji or the scent of freshly cut ginger. Taking detours, she shares recipes for old favourites (often with a surprising twist!) and reveals delightful slivers of trivia and fascinating nuggets of gastronomic history. Delving deep, she discovers that traditional fare is much more than comfort food (many local ingredients are health-giving and healing too!) and that much of what the West is discovering about herbs and spices has been known to our ancestors for centuries. An unabashed and wonderful ode to the blessings of simple, traditional vegetarian food. Printed Pages: 246., Westland Ltd, 2010<
