Book Description
6-13 A Friday the 13th Movie Trivia Book is a comprehensive compilation of more than 700 trivia questions and facts all about the most popular slasher film franchise of all-time. Jason turned 68 years old on Friday, June 13th, 2014 (according to the original timeline), and has been featured in films for more than three decades now. In his path, he has left a ton of dead bodies, dozens of cool kills, and hundreds of trivia tidbits. Did you know that the first person Jason killed while wearing the now-iconic hockey mask was Vera Sanchez in Part 3? Oh, you did? I bet you didn't know that Catherine Parks, who portrayed Vera, was Miss Florida and a runner-up in the 1978 Miss America Pageant. She wasn't the only pageant queen in Friday films, though. One actress was named Miss Teen USA in 1985. Want to know Hu? See page 63. How about "Who got to kill Jason's prop heart from Jason Goes To Hell when it was used in another film?" You can find out on page 50. The book includes a full timeline of all twelve films. It also includes the Kill Index, the most comprehensive list of each and every kill -- all 202 of them through the twelve current films, how each character met their end, who killed them, and any interesting notes about the death. The book also has an entertaining foreword written by Ari Lehman, the First Jason! Read along as he shares some of his on-set experiences as a 14-year-old actor playing a character that would become a thing of legend. Here's what he has to say about the book: "6 - 13 A Friday the 13th Movie Trivia Book is the perfect accompaniment to a night of Friday the 13th fun with friends at home or at a local pub. I welcome everyone to return to Camp Crystal Lake where Mama Voorhees is waiting for you, and remember . . . JASON NEVER DIES!!! Ari Lehman/FIRST JASON" If Jason likes it, it has to be good!

Book Description
The veteran autoworker and author of the pro-labor newsletter Live Bait & Ammo offers a blow-by-blow analysis of workers’ rights under attack. Greg Shotwell was a machine operator at General Motor’s Delphi division during its tragic spinoff from GM and eventual bankruptcy. He watched from a front-row seat as the United Auto Workers Union collaborated with antilabor policies that led to plant closings and cuts to wages and benefits. A dissident member of the UAW, Shotwell made a name for himself chronicling the outrages and absurdities of corporate managers and corrupt union leaders in his popular shop-floor newsletter, Live Bait & Ammo. Autoworkers Under the Gun collects Shotwell’s essential writings during that fateful period. These LB&A fliers quickly grew legs of their own, distributed by rank-and-file workers in auto plants across the United States and cited by industry analysts. Spanning a decade of autoworker resistance, this body of work stands as a call to action for a new generation of workers coming of age in recession-wracked America.

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A witty, charming, and engaging dive into trivia’s colorful history, from America’s highest-earning game show contestant of all time “Insightful, informative, and written with a strong dose of humor and humility. . . . I loved this book.”—Will Shortz, crossword editor, The New York Times Ken Jennings is trivia’s undisputed king—and as he traces his rise from anonymous computer programmer to nerd folk icon, he explores his newly conquered kingdom: the world of trivia itself. Trivia, he has found, is centuries older than his childhood obsession with it. Whisking us from the coffeehouses of seventeenth-century London to the Internet age, Jennings chronicles the ups and downs of the trivia fad: the quiz book explosion of the Jazz Age; the rise, fall, and rise again of TV quiz shows; the nostalgic campus trivia of the 1960s; and the 1980s, when Trivial Pursuit® again made it fashionable to be a know-it-all. Jennings also investigates the shadowy demimonde of today’s trivia subculture, guiding us on a tour of trivia across America. He goes head-to-head with the blowhards and diehards of the college quiz-bowl circuit, the slightly soused faithful of the Boston pub trivia scene, and the raucous participants in the annual Q&A marathon in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, “The World’s Largest Trivia Contest.” And, of course, he takes us behind the scenes of his improbable 75-game run on Jeopardy! But above all, Brainiac is a love letter to the useless fact. (Who knew that there’s a crater on Venus named after Laura Ingalls Wilder? Ken Jennings, that’s who.) Engaging and erudite, Brainiac is an irresistible celebration of nostalgia, curiosity, and geeky obsession—in a word, trivia.
