Gary May's The Tunesmith brings to vivid life the sights and sounds . . . of M.K. Jerome, whose songs become a sort of time capsule for vital American musical and cultural history, from Tin Pan Alley to early Hollywood to World War II patriotic blockbusters. This is a beautifully researched and rendered story, not only about a moment in American music, but also a cherished relationship between a lifelong tunesmith and his grandson. - Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor, State, and author of Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America As an animation historian, I'm so pleased to have such a wonderful resource to one of Warner Bros. most prolific songwriters, whose work, by extension, appears and is immortalized in so many Warner cartoon shorts. So many Jerome tunes are burned into my brain, and the stories behind them are so wonderfully told. Gary May makes it as easy as "rolling off a log." - Jerry Beck, author of The Warner Brothers Cartoons (with Will Friedwald) and other works on American cartoon history I'm a sucker for stories of old-time show business, and this book has plenty of good ones. If you love Tin Pan Alley and Hollywood's Golden Age, you'll find a lot to enjoy in The Tunesmith. - Leonard Maltin, film critic and historian With its beautiful balance of well-informed historical research and absorbing narrative prose, The Tunesmith both enlightened and informed me. Bravo to May on this achievement. - Katherine Spring, associate professor of English and film studies, Wilfrid Laurier University, and author of Saying It With Songs: Popular Music and the Coming of Sound to Hollywood Cinema This is a story of the Great American Songbook and the Golden Age of Film, told through the discerning eyes of the grandson of M.K. Jerome, one of the forgotten greats. - Larry Tye, author of Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon Thoroughly exceeded my expectations. . . . It reads like a documentary. It's cinematic. I visualize stills and motion pictures on a screen, with narration. . . . The final chapter of [May's] life with his grandfather is a healthy mix of charming, amusing, and wistful. Loved it. - Alex Hassan, pianist and entertainer

This book applies the specific to explain the general. It takes one song, written in the mid 1930s, and uses it to address larger issues regarding popular music in the twentieth century. The song- "I Can't Get Started With You"-is discussed in considerable detail, but so is jazz and its connection with the musical theater, the early lives and collaborations of the song's creators, the nature of lyric writing, the structure of the popular song, the legacy of George Gershwin, the musicians who performed and recorded "I Can't Get Started" (its common title), and the later lives, independent musical contributions, and legacies of Vernon Duke and Ira Gershwin.

After New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks completed The Sword of Shannara trilogy, millions of fans around the world clamored to immerse themselves again in his dazzling world. Brooks answered with a quartet of beloved novels—The Heritage of Shannara. Now, for the first time in one handsome collector’s edition hardcover, here are: The Scions of Shannara, The Druid of Shannara, The Elf Queen of Shannara, and The Talismans of Shannara—the thrilling continuation of the saga that has become one of the most enduring fantasy epics of all time. The Scions of Shannara Since the death of the Druid Allanon, magic has been strictly forbidden in the Four Lands. Yet Par still has limited use of the Wishsong. Then a dire message from Allanon sends Par and his brother Coll on an impossible task: to recover the long-lost Sword of Shannara—or all life in the Four Lands will be destroyed. The Druid of Shannara Evil forces remain in control of the Four Lands. To restore the Keep of the Druid Allanon, Walker Boh sets out on a journey to find the black Elfstone. He must venture into perilous, unknown lands with a strange band of fellow travelers—one of whom is hatching his own sinister plot. The Elf Queen of Shannara Ordered by the Druid Allanon to find the Elves and return them to the world of Men, Wren is carried away to an island where Elves might still exist. Even if by some miracle she locates the Elves, can she convince them to follow her back through a demon-haunted jungle to the safety of the shore? The Talismans of Shannara The Shadowen still swarm over the Four Lands, poisoning everything with their dark magic. Their leader is determined to destroy all the Scions of Shannara. With traps cleverly laid, the charges are doomed to failure—unless Par can discover a way to harness the power of the Sword of Shannara. So continues Terry Brooks’s enthralling Heritage of Shannara epic, a spellbinding saga that chronicles the ultimate battle of good vs. evil. BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Terry Brooks's The Measure of the Magic.
