Born into a respectable career Navy family, Daniel Mannix eventually decided that the life his family had planned for him was not the one he wanted. So he ran away to join the carnival. Literally.

In Step Right Up! (reprinted as Memoirs of a Sword Swallower) Mannix tells the story of carney life from an insider's perspective. During his time with the carnival he worked as a sword swallower, mentalist assistant, magician, fire eater and more. Through it all he recounts his experiences and observations.

As with his book Freaks: We Who Are Not As Others his view is both sympathetic and revealing. Through his personal stories and anecdotes he shows again and again that, despite our outward differences, we are all essentially the same.

We're Doing Something New!

Two of our new releases include a significant number of graphic elements which makes the files for these eBooks very large, and may cause download issues. We have taken two different approaches to solve this problem for our customers.

In the case of Alfred P. Sloan's My Years With General Motors the charts, graphs, and photos are incidental to the text and have been put into separate documents that can be downloaded for FREE.

However the photos, illustrations, and maps in The Struggle for Tennessee by James Street are fully integrated. The book has been divided into five chapters, each of which includes its respective graphics. Purchasing any one of these chapters gives the buyers a code which allows them to download the other four for FREE.

My Years With General Motors describes how the management policies of Mr. Sloan's, America's first celebrity CEO, revolutionized the auto industry and corporate business practices. Sloan made GM into an icon of productivity, market domination, and stable profitability. The book was opposed by GM management and took years to reach publication. My Years With General Motors is still the definitive historical resource on the practice of business management.

James Street's The Struggle for Tennessee is the second volume of the Time-Life Civil War series. This volume recounts lesser know parts of the Civil War. In the western theater, the war was a battle of maneuvers and strategy. This volume is richly illustrated with maps, photos, etchings and sketches. Street presents a carefully researched and revealing portrait of one of the turning points in this national conflict.
