In Ring Lardner's 'You Know Me Al: A Busher's Letters', readers are immersed in the world of minor league baseball through the correspondence of Jack Keefe, a young pitcher navigating his way through the challenges and triumphs of his career. Lardner's epistolary style captures the authentic voice of a naive and often boastful narrator, offering a satirical yet poignant exploration of the American Dream and the complexities of ambition and self-deception. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, this novel showcases Lardner's unique blend of humor and social commentary, making it a timeless classic in American literature. Through Keefe's letters, Lardner sheds light on the struggles and aspirations of the working-class athlete, inviting readers to reflect on themes of identity, success, and self-awareness. Recommended for those interested in sports literature, American realism, and the psychology of ambition.

Complementing the text is a complete catalog of fiction from the six major publishers who competed with S&S, also noting the cover themes for 1,054 issues.

The method and plan of this dictionary of Jamaican English are basically the same as those of the Oxford English Dictionary, but oral sources have been extensively tapped in addition to detailed coverage of literature published in or about Jamaica since 1655. It contains information about the Caribbean and its dialects, and about Creole languages and general linguistic processes. Entries give the pronounciation, part-of-speach and usage of labels, spelling variants, etymologies and dated citations, as well as definitions. Systematic indexing indicates the extent to which the lexis is shared with other Caribbean countries.

The first time fabled pitcher Smokey Joe Hood held a baseball in his hand he knew it was meant to be thrown and thrown hard. And so he did. Harder and faster than any man who ever lived. A smoking fastball took him to the pinnacle of the game, but his passion for practical jokes and tall tales made him a legend to love and laugh with. In his inimitable style, he tells the story of a life that took him from the Kentucky farmlands of his youth to baseball's hall of fame, a life full of mischief, wild times and rousing baseball games. Along the way, we meet a cast of dazzling characters who join Smokey Joe on a romp through the glory days of baseball. On and off the field, Smokey Joe was truly a lovable, rollicking giant of his times."
