Blurbs for Books Judo & I Found in Sheridan, Wyoming




The Man Who Loved Children, by Christina Stead

“One of the most truthful and terrifying horror stories ever written about family life…Every page is written with battering intensity in this big black diamond of a book.”

Time




Limbo Tower, by William Lindsay Gresham

LIFE and LOVE in a Big Hospital

“In this griping novel of hospital life, Dr. Don Crane is torn between his love for a devoted nurse and his infatuation for the wanton mistress of a political boss.”




Me & the Spitter, by Gaylord Perry (with Bob Sudyk)

“If you think Jim Bouton spilled the beans in Ball Four, get ready for a new high-water mark in uninhibited expose!

Now the suspense is over. Not only does Gaylors Perry cheerfully confess, he goes so far as to describe how it was done, why no umpire could ever detect it, and how widespread the secret league of spitball pitchers may be.”




The Great Impersonation, by E. Phillips Oppenheim

“This is unquestionably one of the best stories Mr. Oppenheim has written.”

—Washington Post

“…very ably written.”

—Vogue
