After more than 80 years, the O-Pee-Chee hockey card - originated in London - is the most enduring and endearing brand in the hockey collector's marketplace. With stops and starts in the 1930s and early 1940s, then a continuous five-decade run starting in the 1950s, O-Pee-Chee deeply established themselves as the annual collecting favourite of every young Canadian hockey fan. The O-Pee-Chee Hockey Card Story collects just a few of the best memories from O-Pee-Chee's NHL legacy, a legacy that continues to grow with the start of every new hockey season.
"Cows from Outer Space." "Why I Ate My Husband." "Jesus Returns, and the Christians Think He's Nuts." These and other pieces of unintentional genius from the demented mind of Richard Scott complete this collection of hilarious short stories and idiotic comedy bits. Scott's comedy ranges from the highbrow "Toilet Humour" to the historical docu-drama, "I Heard the President Fart." From the absurd "Toast Hunters of the Amazon," to the surreal "My Father the Android," to the farcical "Dances Like Jew," to the ridiculous "The Adventures of Superman's Pants," I'm an Idiot, You're an Idiot is guaranteed to make readers laugh like the idiots we all are.

The year is 1881, and an athletic-looking President Garfield-barely four months in office-steps nimbly down from the presidential carriage as it pulls up to the bustling Washington Train Depot. The president will shortly board a train that will take him to a refreshingly cooler New England where he's scheduled to speak at his beloved alma mater, Williams College. A shot rings out. At first no one thinks much about it, for it's always noisy at Washington's busy train station. But then a second sharp report is heard, and the president drops in his tracks. He remains alive for nearly three months as White House doctors repeatedly issue reassuring reports of his improving health. Then, on September 19, the nation is again plunged into gloom, when it learns that the president has suddenly passed away. Three years later, the scene shifts to a stately old mansion in the historic section of Salem, Massachusetts, where wealthy, but controversial magazine publisher Martin Van Zandt hosts a sumptuous dinner for the board members of his highly successful publication. The dinner party quickly deteriorates into a shouting match as disgruntled board members trade accusations with the hated publisher. Before the night is over, Van Zandt will be found dead, apparently the victim of a botched burglary. Another scene shift takes the reader to an elegant townhouse in Boston's Beacon Hill section, where journalist James Christopher, Martin Van Zandt's nephew, receives an unexpected visit from his adopted cousin Samantha. Samantha, Van Zandt's daughter, believes that her father was murdered by a member of the board and not by a burglar. She appeals to James, known for his investigative skills, to get to the bottom of her father's death. Thus begins a process of inquiry and detection that takes us from Salem to Boston to Washington. Good Plot- I do not ordinarily like historical fiction, but found this fascinating. Lots of interest in President Garfield a this time ...Eleanor A Smith Great Suspense- I like to read any of Richard Scott's books. This rates right up with his best in my book. ... Shirley Shearer
What if your neighbor's son or daughter has been persuaded to join ISIS? Worse, what if the son or daughter of a friend has gone over to the terrorist group? When retired CIA operative Tony Dantry is contacted by old friend Quentin Ramos for a favor, it leads to something much ibigger and far more threatening than Tony ever imagined. Ramos suspects that his son, a clean-cut extremely likable college student, has been communicating with ISIS terrorists. Because of Dantry's CIA experience and law enforcement connections, Ramos thinks Tony can look into the situation more discreetly than he as a parent could. Ramos didn't want to snoop into the personal life of his son, but things had gotten so serious that something had to be done before it was too late to save his son. Dantry agrees to help and finds himself inextricably drawn into something that all of us read about in the news, but don't believe could happen to us.
