Scotland and Beyond: The Families of Donald Gunn (Tormsdale) and John Gunn (Dalnaha, Strathmore and Braehour)
This book examines two linked Caithness Gunn families over many generations in places such as Scotland, Canada, Jamaica and Australia. It has many family trees, photographs and original documents including details of trips to Canada in the 1840s and Australia in the 1850s. Many letters from the mid 1800s are included. The book has many biographies including the Hon. Donald Gunn of Canada, William Gunn of Waranga Park, Sir John Gunn of Tormsdale and the Hon. John Alexander Gunn of New South Wales ('anthrax' Gunn). This book contains much original information showing how Gunns integrated into new lands. This work has taken many years and builds on documents held within the family and much detailed genealogical research. Two versions are available; a paperback black and white version and a deluxe hardback version with some colour photographs. The information and images are the same in both texts.

The Reader and the Detective Story
As every detective novel addict knows, there's no greater high than figuring out "whodunit" before the final revelation, resulting in the kind of intellectual satisfaction a shot of bourbon can never offer. Dove takes this reader/writer play to a new level by critically assessing the genre through the principles of Reader Response Theory, outlining the detective story as a special case of reading governed by rules and a specialized formula that traces its genealogy back to Poe's The Murders in the Rue Morgue. Paper edition (unseen), $18.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Green Grow the Dollars
ePub version. 19th of 37 Emma Lathen's. An author favorite about the annual Vandam gardening catalog that brightened up the winter so avid gardeners could dream about spring plantings. A contest for a great tomato, Numero Uno, between Standard Foods/Vandam's and little Seedmen's, worth millions. Witty, urbane, fun, and ironic in Emma Lathen style, with the usual cast of characters and John Putnam Thatcher seeing by the emotions to the money. A must read for Emma fans.
