The following books are damaged as described:

The New Anchor Book of Canvaswork Stitches and Patterns:  Faint stains on bottom of back cover and last 4 pages.  Does not affect patterns.

Brideshead Revisited  by Evelyn Waugh:  paperback companion to PBS (as in Public Broadcasting System) tv series.  Some underlining throughout book.

Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. Probably the most famous of her novels...very interesting read.  Only one or two comments written in paperback text.

Hunter's Glen by Phyllis A. Whitney.  Hardback novel of romantic suspense.  No ISBN but otherwise perfect.

Wild Animus by Rich Shapero.  Brand-new paperback ARC.

Tiny Footprints by B. Kliban:  paperback of adult cartoons.

How Do Dinosaurs Learn to Read? by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague:  6-page mini-book...cute but not enough to warrant one credit.

Memo:  To Myself When I Have A Teenage Kid  by Carol Snyder.  An older copy with slight water stain on inside of paper cover.  Still very readable.

All that Lives: A Novel of the Bell Witch
Author: Melissa Sanders-Self

Robertson County, Tennessee, early 1800s. The respectable Bell family is quietly working its rural farm, when something utterly horrific suddenly unleashes a reign of terror upon them and their entire community. The haunting begins with knocking on the walls. Before long, disembodied voices are heard whispering in the night, and spectral creatures are seen floating in the field. Then, 13-year-old Betsy Bell is brutally assaulted, and her father, John Bell, is violently tortured by an unseen force. The desperate townspeople, frantic with fear, gather to cast the demon from their midst. But a far more insidious evil lurks in the Bell home-more damaging and disturbing than the Bell Witch could ever be.
