A : a novel

Rare Books

"If an encyclopedia is a concise compendium of man's knowledge, Andy Warhol's novel is the obverse - a total experience of a daily life raised to a fever pitch of brilliancy, vagueness, hilarity, confusion, and insight through the abnormally extreme personalities of his real-life characters"--Dust jacket flap.

U.S.S. Mudskipper : the submarine that wrecked a train : a novel

Rare Books

"Commander Tolliver of the U.S. Submarine Mudskipper was cruising off the coast of Hokkaido, the northernmost Japanese island, when he first spied the train on its daily run along the shore line. The Mudskipper had previously taken a tremendous toll of enemy shipping; now for weeks its periscope had searched the horizon in vain. Perhaps the daily freight and passenger train might take the place of a tramp steamer or a destroyer. So Commander Tolliver made plans to wreck the Japanese train. What follows is a story packed with mounting suspense, filled with the throat-gripping tensions of men on a dangerous undersea mission - a realistic novel that in its climax fairly explodes before the reader's eyes"--Dust jacket flap.
