The Volunteers
Historical novel of New York City's volunteer firemen during the turbulent period of industrialization, immigration, abolishionist movement and Civil War. The volunteer system was under attack by a political/insurance industry clique pushing for a paid fire department equipped with the new steam fire engines, which the volunteers opposed. A story of bravery and courage of men who came from all walks of life and were responsible for saving the city from destruction by dozens of disastrous fires, only to be scorned by politicians and labeled as rowdies by their insurance enemies. An interesting look at New York in this period of change and incudes how the game of baseball originated with the volunteer firemen. The New York volunteers carried their firefighting experience west during the gold rush and were responsible for formation of many fire departments in western states. A must read for firefighting, newspaper, telegraph, insurance, New York City and Philadelphia history buffs.

Schenck in the 21st Century
This double slipcased edition includes both a deluxe-bound, signed edition of "Schenck in the 21st Century" and a deluxe-bound edition of the companion autobiography "The Chronology of Billy Famous." Bill Schenck is one of the best-known practitioners of the western pop-art movement which appeared in the 1960s hard on the heels of American pop s leading lights like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, according to Southwest Art magazine. "Schenck in the 21st Century" is a comprehensive catalog raisonne and biography covering Schenck's paintings, photographs, serigraphs, and the other kinds of trouble he's been in since the turn of the millennium. Written by noted art historian, Amy Abrams, this is the most authoritative source on Schenck's current work and philosophy of life, art, and the way it ought to be. "The Chronology of Billy Famous" is the wild and zany companion book to "Schenck in the 21st Century." This illustrated chronology, written by Bill Schenck, includes 38 of his new drawings and an epilogue. "The Chronology" is Schenck's first unauthorized autobiography and successfully mystifies the basic facts of how he got to be where he is today."
