A must read for any tradesman, especially if you're in the elevator industry! "I loved reading this book and couldn't put it down. Some of the stories were hilarious!

I've also got a whole new respect for elevator mechanics and the dangers of working the field. - Tom Sybert - Elevator Radio Show" A perfect gift for the person who has everything!

In Fitzgerald's world, everything that's delicious turns bitter; every party is a tragedy. At first, things seem sexy and sumptuous and doused in champagne. When the music stops, though, everything falls apart. Money is the beginning and end of everyone's troubles, and the world is sharply divided between those who have it and those who need it. Travel through the rich universe of this great author through these seven short stories specially chosen to please old readers and newcomers to Fitzgerald's work.

Legends and lore from Canada’s rugged Maritime provinces, shrouded in the mists of the Atlantic Ocean . . . From the host of TV’s Maritime Mysteries, this book includes forty of the best stories collected from around the Maritimes. Using his journalist’s skills, Bill Jessome weaves incredible stories that both charm us and chill us. The region including Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick has an extensive storytelling tradition and a large part of that lexicon consists of tales of the supernatural. Many of these stories are passed down over the generations, and Jessome has acquired dozens of haunting accounts by listening to Maritimers at the kitchen table, around the flickering campfire, and when the moon is full.
