Hardcover. 216 pages in an attractive/durable full-cloth binding, includes a photo-illustrated frontispiece (picture of Ms Adams). "THE BOWL OF HEAVEN is one of the most amazing autobiographies ever written, for it chronicles a career so wide in its influence, so outstanding in its attainments, and so sincere in its ideas as to command attention whether the reader believes in astrology or not. Evangeline Adams..has related her experiences in her profession and her gradual rise to success. She has included a striking set of case histories of some of the people who came to her for guidance and advice. These cases help to explain what astrology is and how it works. Whether her clients were noted financiers or politicians, housewives or actresses, opera singers or businessmen, poor or rich, their stories are full of human interest and drama. Examples of horoscopes and their outcome are cited. The weight of the evidence as presented here will challenge even the most stubborn nonbeliever in this ancient science."

"This book is for everyone who enjoys a fascinating, fact-filled story of how and where America really began. The setting is the islands off the coast of Maine. The book begins with the voyages of the first explorers who probed these shores in search for a new passage to Cathay and the rich East Indies; in hope of finding gold and silver and greater wealth. From those ancient days, it moves quickly to the days 400 years ago when small fishing boats from England and Europe came by the hundreds to the islands of Maine. They discovered the real silver mines of the New World - fish. You'll discover how the English crews, short of salt for preserving their catch, went ashore on the islands to sun-dry their fish on the islands. Thus began the first settlements, long before the colony at Jamestown or the arrival of the Mayflower at Plymouth. In truth, in historic fact, America began in Maine."

Hardcover. 221 pages in an attractive/durable full-cloth binding, includes a group of pictures. "In this warm and intimate journal of two years in Chevalier's life he launches on a new career as a writer. These two years are richly endowed with peak events, a summation of everything he has worked for and lived by since his childhood in the slums of Paris. As Maurice Chevalier takes us on the killing marathon of his Eightieth Birthday Tour, he has already determined in his own mind that it shall be his last year as an entertainer.. 'It is so important to leave the table before I end up under it,' he says, never doubting his decision but requiring reinforcement constantly as he struggles in the face of many offers, his need for his public and his painful adjustment to a new life as a writer.. The book is as the man, ever the entertainer - charming, intelligent, witty, always Chevalier."
