***NOTE***

While I am a writer who writes long when the spirit, and the subject, moves him you, dear fellow Journaler, aren't required to put in anything but the bare minimum ( Where Caught, where re-released, or whatever other fate you have in store for the book, even a brief review ) ...BUT longer is permissible, and encouraged, IF you are so moved to do so by my own such entries.

***END NOTE***

A RESURRECTION PROJECT RESCUE EFFORT! ( See My Profile for More Info. ) ;-D

Rescued from a Goodwill, in Santa Ana, CA., in May 2007.


A Hardcover, w/o Dust Jacket, 4th Printing from 1946, of a book 1st published in 1938 by Simon & Schuster.

The front cover has a little damage, but other than that the book is in excellent condition. ( Click on Picture to Enlarge! )

On the inside front cover is the the handwriten name of T. P. Dankworth.

I found a mention of him in Comment 98 on this Military Tribute Website. ;-D

Gerald Kersh (1911-1968) was a very famous British writer, and this was one book of his that was made into a movie ( Twice! ).

An excellent website on the author, 1st put online in the late 90's, is by someone busily writing a Biography of the author at the time.

The Wikipedia Entry about the author.

RELEASE NOTES:

Today I revisited a 66 mile bike ride I 1st took in 2002, along Pacific Coast Highway, and in the mountains above it, in the Malibu area along the SoCal Coast, north of Santa Monica.

I did it to finally add photos to a story I wrote for my BikeBlog ( I'll post a link to an updated story, with pictures, later in the week. ).

I've taken the opportunity to do some truly "Wild" Releases. ;-D

This is #5.

This will be a BookCrossing 1st, not just for this location, but this "City". ;-D

I arrived at 1110am, and after making my way through the crowd, found an outdoor table all to myself, and sat in such a way that no-one nearby ( The place was packed with people. ) would see me leave the book ( I actually sat on the little darling until I was ready to leave, hee, hee! ).;-D

The famous, and popular, Rock Store Cafe is located at 30354 Mulholland Hwy , in the mountain Community of Cornell, east of Malibu. ( Click on Picture to Enlarge! )

The Rock Store is the most famous motorcycle stop in Southern California and has been featured in many commercials, films, music videos, television productions and magazine photos.

It is a famous hangout not just for regular folk and their families, but Motorcycle Enthusiasts from your neighbor to the notorious Hell's Angels, and celebreties such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jay Leno, and others.
