William Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary deceptions of his or any time. Sharp was a Scottish poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlisting his sister to provide the handwriting and address, and for more than a decade "Fiona Macleod" duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman. Sharp wrote "I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out". This three-volume collection brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascinating trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of letters who was on intimate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod letters, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing "second self". With an introduction and detailed notes by William F. Halloran, this richly rewarding collection offers a wonderful insight into the literary landscape of the time, while also investigating a strange and underappreciated phenomenon of late-nineteenth-century English literature. It is essential for scholars of the period, and it is an illuminating read for anyone interested in authorship and identity.

Now in a more compact format, Back in the Day is a timeless and nostalgic collection of photographs documenting the skateboarding scene in the 1970s. William Sharp began taking surfing photographs in southern California in the early seventies and was quickly drawn into the nascent skateboard scene, shooting friends emulating surfing moves on pavement. By 1975 he was brought in as a staff photographer for the magazine Skateboard World. During the next five years he documented the meteoric rise of the movement, capturing thousands of photographs along the way. Back in the Day features hundreds of Sharp's astounding photos from this era. The work is priceless, not only for its documentary value, but for the beautiful and poetic images captured and later developed by Sharp himself (many in black and white). Pipes in Arizona, aqueducts in California, pools all over the place, the locales and images must be seen to be believed. Ozzie Ausband signed on as an editor of the project, collecting present day quotes and assisting with the paring down of Sharp's massive photo archive. Sharp's epic photos are populated by the vanguard of the scene such as Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Jerry Valdez, Steve Caballero, and Jay Smith, among many others. This is a must have for fans and collectors of the original large format released in 2017.

Ten years ago I placed "The Sickle" before the thinkers in a very careful and methodical manner; and for the past five years I have waited patiently (Did I say patiently? Well, sometimes rather impatiently), for the thought of the advanced thinkers to unfold so that I could put this book before them with the assurance that they were ready for the "last things," the actual science of actuality; and not merely a science of physical harmony. This book is not for general distribution at this time (1925), for the general public has not yet awakened to where they can appreciate the facts stated here. They, like those who have entered this work before them, will need to take the necessary preliminary steps; and through study of my lesser writings, or through being taught the lesser things by my teachers, unfold their thought to a state where this work can be assimilated, understood and demonstrated. The price I ask for this work does not interest the public at all, for it will not be sold to the public at this time; and those to whom it will be sold, will gladly give twice the price I ask for it. If there be some who would gladly pay the price but have it not, this is positive proof that they have not applied the primary lessons sufficiently; and consequently, are not ready for this work. I would advise such as these to spend their time on "The Sickle," until their thought regarding supply has been mastered and the necessary supply is bountifully forthcoming. In the science of Eschatology, fruitage is a sure sign of actual understanding. When Jesus told the multitude that henceforth they would need to work out their own salvation, that the free bread line was abolished, many turned their back on his leadership. Noting this, the Master Mind turned to his disciples and asked, "Will ye not also go away?" Then Simon Peter answered him saying, "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life." Simon Peter had some understanding of the actual; those who turned back had not. The same holds true to this day; and this should explain the actions of those who leave this science and go hither and thither seeking an easier way. This book, as well as the predecessor, The Sickle, have more or less been artificially suppressed for nearly 100 years. Now is the time for these volumes to be made available to the general public and those seeking the truth. As Walter states in the preface of The Sickle, these books are not for the trifler or those on a casual search. The journey is well worth the effort and the time is right with the expanding of human consciousness worldwide to re introduce these volumes into the collective consciousness.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins comes a new heartbreakingly tender middle grade novel in verse about the bonds between two brothers and the love they share. Twelve-year-old Trace Reynolds has always looked up to his brother, mostly because Will, who's five years older, has never looked down on him. It was Will who taught Trace to ride a bike, would watch sports on TV with him, and cheer him on at Little League. But when Will was knocked out cold during a football game, resulting in a brain injury--everything changed. Now, seventeen months later, their family is still living under the weight of "the incident," that left Will with a facial tic, depression, and an anger he cannot always control, culminating in their parents' divorce. Afraid of further fracturing his family, Trace begins to cover for Will who, struggling with addiction to pain medication, becomes someone Trace doesn’t recognize. But when the brother he loves so much becomes more and more withdrawn, and escalates to stealing money and ditching school, Trace realizes some secrets cannot be kept if we ever hope to heal.
