The Brave Little Tailor
by: Brothers Grimm/Eve Tharlet

Hardcover. Saxonville MA, Picture Book Studio, 1st, 1989, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, glazed boards with a black cloth spine. Color illustrations by Eve Tharlet, translation by Athena Bell. Children will be charmed by Bell's translation of the tale about the tailor who advertised his prowess by embroidering a sash proclaiming "Seven at a Blow." The narrative respects the original story; the text is not diluted, and it is lengthy. Vocabulary such as courtiers, contemptuously, and desperate adds to the vitality of the story. The settings and clothing in Tharlet's detailed and appropriate soft-toned watercolor washes suggest the Middle Ages.

Someone is looking to wreck the nation's economy, and they're spending a lot of money to do it. With every lead going nowhere, Flynn's most dizzying logic is put to the test. The remarkable undercover agent and Boston detective Francis Xavier Flynn returns in this second installment of the darkly comedic series. Out on ''medical leave'' from the Boston police department, Flynn has actually been called up once again by his longtime friend and handler, N. N. Zero, to solve a most perplexing occurrence. Someone has been picking small towns throughout the United States and delivering packages of money -- $100,000 to be exact -- to every man, woman, and child in residence. As Flynn flies to Texas to start investigating the first incident, even more people begin to receive large manila envelopes full of ''cash money,'' including an entire department at the Pentagon. Now under pressure from the president, Flynn is up against the clock to crack this crisis before the US economy is propelled into total disarray.

The Career of Toleration: John Locke, Jonas Proast, and After
by: Vernon, Richard

Hardcover. Montreal, McGill-Queen's University Press, 1st, 1997, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, gray cloth stamped in black. 164 pages. The Career of Toleration considers the Locke-Proast controversy from the standpoint of political theory, examining Locke's and Proast's texts and tracing their relationship to later discussions of toleration. Vernon reconstructs the grounds of the dispute, drawing attention to the long-term importance of the arguments and evaluating their relative strength. He then examines issues of toleration in later contexts, specifically James Fitzjames Stephen's critique of John Stuart Mill, the perfectionist alternative to contractualist liberalism, and the view that the traditional attachment to toleration must, by the force of its own arguments, move from liberalism to a defence of a much stronger form of democracy. Arguing that Locke's and Proast's exchange marks a turning point in the intellectual history that has helped to structure the terms of modern political debate, Vernon presents a solid case for thinking that the exchange between Locke and Proast is as important for the twentieth century as it was for the seventeenth. Bright, clean copy.
