Book Description
This is the book that restarted the James Dean cult by celebrating him as the cool, defiant visionary of pop culture who made adolescence seem heroic instead of awkward and who defined the style of rock 'n' roll's politics of delinquency. The only book to fully show how deliberately and carefully Dean crafted his own image and performances, and the product of still unequalled research, vivid writing, intimate photographs, and profound meditation, James Dean: The Mutant King has become almost as legendary as its subject.

Book Description
With extensive research, this account of the Hollywood star and his legion of fans offers “the best narrative yet of Dean’s final ten hours” (San Francisco Examiner). Just before sunset on September 20, 1955, James Byron Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder collided with Donald Gene Turnupseed’s Ford Tudor on California Highway 46. At age twenty-four, America’s newest screen idol was dead. But what really happened? Drawing on original documents, including the coroner’s inquest and other previously unpublished material, author Warren Newton Beath provides a painstakingly accurate reconstruction of Dean’s final hours and tragic death. In addition, Beath explores Dean’s life and his enduring status as a cultural icon, including Elvis Presley’s worship of him; Hitchcock’s use of Highway 46 in the famous crop-dusting scene in North by Northwest; death threats against Giant director George Stevens if he dared excise a single frame of Deans’ final performance; and many more fascinating facts about the enigmatic screen legend. Beath’s definitive account concludes with a memorable portrait of the James Dean cult, a strangely moving record of his posthumous life in the hearts of his adoring fans.

Book Description
Down and Out in Mendocino is a dissection of criminality accompanied by an abdominal exercise in hilarity. The riot of a story is set in and around Mendocino Village, where East of Eden was filmed and James Dean became legend. Down and Out in Mendocino is a history of Mendocino County interwoven with the tale of a local mystery. Through the mystery, Rolland Greene, a local writer, and his friends find themselves wrapped up in a complex paper chase. Rolland Greene spends his time in the small coastal community trying to write his political treatise based on his experiences and a local collection of literature trying to survive the tumult surrounding his lifestyle and friends. Rolland and his buds all find themselves tormented by bad luck and ultimately bad people pursuing treasure unique to Mendocino. Down and Out in Mendocino is a humorous trip to Mendocino, California that will leave your gut hurting from laughing so hard, but will also lead to contemplation on the politics of crime and the crime of politics. Down and Out in Mendocino takes you to the heartland of Mendocino and into the mind and heart of Rolland Greene, a Mendonesian caught up in an old secret town mystery. The story is complete with several Herbisms, quotes of Herb, the town legend currently on the lamb, including, "Don't let anyone see me see you."
