In the moving DIFFERENT UGLINESS, DIFFERENT MADNESS, writer/artist Marc Malès tells a heart-wrenching story of two people learning to rely on each other to overcome the pain of their physical and emotional wounds as their relationship blooms into one of trust and rebirth. In the golden age of radio, the attractive and sexy voice of Lloyd Goodman - the playboy of radio - fills the airwaves. But he has a secret - his voice is as dazzling as his face is repulsive. Lloyd is so embarrassed by his appearance that he hides it by hiring a handsome stand-in for public appearances. Finally fed up with maintaining the lie, Lloyd disappears from the limelight. Helen, a stunningly beautiful woman, fights with the terrible memories of her twin sister's death; memories that threaten to tear her hold on reality to shreds. Wandering through the countryside, Helen has a chance encounter with the now reclusive Lloyd Goodman. Their meeting will send them down paths that will change their lives forever.

    Dirty Dancing A Celebration HC (2012 25th Anniversary) 1-1ST

    1st printing. By Eleanor Bergstein. Named one of the most romantic movies of the past twenty-five years by Entertainment Weekly, Dirty Dancing is a touchstone in the lives of generations of moviegoers. Now, for the first time, millions of fans have the opportunity to own the first-ever book celebrating the magic, music, and memories of the seminal film. With photographs, reminiscences from cast and crew, memorable quotes, trivia, and song lyrics, this gift-able package is a perfect and brand-new way to relive the film. Dirty Dancing is a timeless love story set in the summer of 1963 when Baby, an innocent seventeen-year-old, meets Johnny, a dashing hotel dance instructor at Kellermans Catskills resort. Its passionate story line and alluring dance numbers made the film a box-office hit and pop-culture phenomenon. Though the film launched the careers of stars Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, and won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a Grammy Award, and an Independent Spirit Award, it is best known for being an undeniably loved, oft-quoted piece of American cinematic history. With the recent passing of Patrick Swayze, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the film takes on a new meaning and poignancy. This official celebration of the film, the stars, and the time is a must-have for any of the millions of people who love the film. Hardcover, 8-in. x 10-in., 128 pages, full color.
