Eddie's Great Escape
Eddie is a black and white freshwater Angelfish. He lives in an aquarium with nine other fish. The aquarium is in an apartment in a large city. These fish are intelligent and can think, reason, and speak. They have personalities, feelings, fears, and anxieties brought on by living everyday inside their tiny world.

Eddie Collins
In what is sure to be the definitive book on Eddie Collins's life and long career, author Rick Huhn covers the Hall of Fame player's experiences from childhood through his days at Columbia University, his tenure with the great Athletics clubs of 1906-1914, the highs and lows of a championship and scandal with the White Sox, and his return to the A's during their final run at greatness. By the time his 25-year playing career had ended, he was a pivotal performer on five all-time great clubs, dominating his position like no one before (or since), and earning a reputation for intelligent, selfless play that followed him to Cooperstown. Also covered in detail is his tenure with the Boston Red Sox, a team he served variously as part owner, vice-president and general manager until 1951, when after 45 years in major league baseball a stroke ended his career and, weeks later, his life.
Hitchcock's Partner in Suspense
With a career that spanned from the silent era to the 1990s, British screenwriter Charles Bennett (1899--1995) lived an extraordinary life. His experiences as an actor, director, playwright, film and television writer, and novelist in both England and Hollywood left him with many amusing anecdotes, opinions about his craft, and impressions of the many famous people he knew. Among other things, Bennett was a decorated WWI hero, an eminent Shakespearean actor, and an Allied spy and propagandist during WWII, but he is best remembered for his commercially and critically acclaimed collaborations with directors Sir Alfred Hitchcock and Cecil B. DeMille. The fruitful partnership began after Hitchco...
The Eddie Cantor Story
This absorbing biography chronicles the life and work of one of the most important entertainers of the twentieth century. Eddie Cantor (1892-1964) starred in theater, film, radio, and television. His immense popularity across a variety of media, his pride in his Jewish heritage, and his engagement with pressing political issues distinguished him from other headliners of his era. Paying equal attention to Cantor's humor and politics, Weinstein documents his significance as a performer, philanthropist, and activist. Many show business figures quietly shed their Jewish backgrounds or did not call attention to the fact that they were Jewish. Cantor was different. He addressed the vital issues of...
Eddie's Quest
Eddie Kucera is born two months after the death of his immigrant father, who was killed in the Cherry, Illinois Mine Disaster in 1909. When his mother dies of pneumonia when Eddie was fourteen, his sisters plan to send him to an orphanage since they have no place for him in their lives. The year is 1924. He decides to run away from his family home in La Salle, Illinois in search of his only living uncle, Mike Kucera, who left Cherry in 1899 for the gold fields of Alaska when he was eighteen. In 1924, however, Mike is presently living in Oregon as a successful lumberman and has lost all contact with his family back in Illinois and knows nothing of Eddie's existence. The novel weaves the lives of these two young men into a tapestry of adventures that culminate with the birth of a child on Christmas Eve, 1929.
