Just Frank
FRANK REICK WAS BORN to invent. He’s been inventing since he was five and has forty patents and inventions to show for it. His inventions range from diagnostic medical instruments, toys, and ski wax to sealants and lubricants. Reick graduated with an engineering degree from Syracuse University in 1952. His first career was working with General Electric on cathode ray tube technology for color televisions. Later he worked with ITT Corporation on the 465L Strategic Command and Control System . Disillusioned with the rampant bureaucracy, he left the corporate world to become an entrepreneur and focus on his true passion—inventing. His first successful product, Formula-8, was a thread sealant that could be used in gaseous and liquid oxygen applications, and led to the formation of his company, Fluoramics. Fluoramics’ flagship product, Tufoil, the result of eight years of research, was recognized in 1996 as the world’s “most efficient lubricant” by the Guinness Book of World Records—a title it still holds today. In 1998 he was a finalist for Inc Magazine’s Entrepreneur of the Year Award; he is also a member of the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame.
Discontinued
IN EARLY 2007, Edish.com was a thriving discontinued china business with two stores, a huge internet presence, and well over two hundred thousand loyal customers. By January 2009, the company was on the brink of failure. Discontinued: What I Lost and Found During the Recession is the timely and dramatic story of the last six months in the life of Edish.com. The story chronicles the ups and downs of attempting to save the business and of the author’s relationship with her two partners— one a prominent appraiser on Antiques Roadshow, the other a renowned eye surgeon, both her close friends for almost two decades. The book reveals shocking betrayal and profound loyalty, exposing human nature at its best and worst—and answers pressing questions you surely have like Does bone china really have bones in it? and What did Martha Stewart do when the author suggested on national TV that an antique chamber pot could be used for a popcorn bowl?

Magnus Merriman
Introduced by Douglas Gifford.
This hilarious novel charts the rise and fall (and perhaps the rise again) of Magnus Merriman—would-be lover, writer, politician, idealist and crofter—moved by dreams of greatness and a talent for farcical defeat.
Convinced that ‘small nations are safer to live in than big ones’, Magnus becomes a Nationalist candidate for the parliamentary seat of ‘Kinluce’.
With details based on Linklater’s own experiences in an East Fife by-election in 1933, the way is set for a satirical and irreverent portrait of Scottish life, literature and politics in the 1930s. Nothing is sacred and no-one is spared.
‘A book full of remarkable passages . . . [with a] breathless tempo . . . it is wonderful writing.’ Herald
