In this collection of short stories by noted film director and writer Jesus Trevino, the author gives us an off-beat, magically real and at times raucous vision of life in the barrios of Arroyo Grande, Texas. The rich texture of the narrative and the rich diversity of Hispanic characters all come to a romping, feverish end in the book with a fantasy that features an army of movie stereotypes of Hispanics who have returned as zombies bent on avenging themselves on Hollywood directors and screenwriters.

Vivacious, unconventional, candid, and straight, Helen Branson operated a gay bar in Los Angeles in the 1950s—America’s most anti-gay decade. After years of fending off drunken passes as an entertainer in cocktail bars, this divorced grandmother preferred the wit, variety, and fun she found among homosexual men. Enjoying their companionship and deploring their plight, she gave her gay friends a place to socialize. Though at the time California statutes prohibited homosexuals from gathering in bars, Helen’s place was relaxed, suave, and remarkably safe from police raids and other anti-homosexual hazards. In 1957 she published her extraordinary memoir Gay Bar, the first book by a heterosexual to depict the lives of homosexuals with admiration, respect, and love.    In this new edition of Gay Bar, Will Fellows interweaves Branson’s chapters with historical perspective provided through his own insightful commentary and excerpts gleaned from letters and essays appearing in gay publications of the period. Also included is the original introduction to the book by maverick 1950s psychiatrist Blanche Baker. The eclectic selection of voices gives the flavor of American life in that extraordinary age of anxiety, revealing how gay men saw themselves and their circumstances, and how others perceived them.Outstanding Book, selected by the Public Library AssociationBest Books for High Schools, selected by the American Association of School Libraries

Celebrate your precious stories with our timeless, classic sterling silver 'Treasured Heart' locket, suspended on our distinctive chunky groove chain and finished with our signature D&H lobster catch. Add personal photographs, precious keepsakes or a D&H Treasure inside. Locket holds two images. A stylish spin on sentimental lockets, the ideal gift or the perfect way to chronicle the moments that matter. Dower & Hall designs their jewellery to be worn and treasured. Here are a few simple guidelines to keep your jewellery looking its best: Perfume, skin and hair products can all react with silver causing it to tarnish, cause vermeil to erode and even damage stones – especially pearls. Always apply your products before putting on your jewellery and leave for a few minutes to be absorbed by the skin. Avoid spraying perfume or hairspray directly onto your jewellery. Vermeil is a layer of fine 18ct gold, plated on top of silver. As this is just a layer it can gradually wear, giving the appearance that it has faded. Everyday wear may speed up this process, especially on items like rings and bracelets which have lots of contact knocking against objects. Treat your jewellery with care – remove when doing physical work, playing sports etc. Hot weather and sweat can also speed up the tarnishing process. Jewellery should always be removed before swimming and bathing. At night store your pieces in a jewellery box. Silver-dip solution is the best way to clean both your silver and vermeil jewellery. Dip your jewellery in the solution for a couple of seconds only and then rinse thoroughly in warm soapy water. Soft stones such as pearls and turquoise may react to the silver dip solution so use a specialist pearl cleaner or give them a rub with a soft cloth.

Preface by Ken Singleton This book is the story of the minor league baseball franchise that made sports history when, as International League farm team of the Dodgers, it broke the colour bar and played Jackie Robinson, who went on to be the first black major-league star. But it is also the story of many other baseball greats such as Tommy Lasorda, Duke Snider, Chuck Connors, Don Drysdale, Walter Aston, Roy Campanella, and a terrific and lesser-known chapter in twentieth-century sports history.
