Book Description
Almost half of everything sold in America is listed at some kind of promotional price. People don't only want a deep discount, they expect it - and won't settle for anything less. In this playful, deeply researched book, journalist Mark Ellwood takes a trip into this new landscape. From the floor of upscale department store Sergdorf Goodman to the bustling aisles of a Turkish bazaar, from the outlet Disneyworld of rural Pennsylvania to a town in Florida that can claim to be couponing's spiritual capital, Ellwood shows how some people are, quite literally, born to be bargain junkies thanks to a quirk of their DNA. He also uncovers the dark side of discounting: the sales-driven sleights of hand that sellers employ to hoodwink unsuspecting buyers. Bargain Feveris a manual for thriving in this new era, when deal hunting has gone from being a sign of indigence to one of intelligence. There's never been a better time to be a buyer - at least if you know how the game works. 'This book is a bargain hunter's bible.' Michael Tonello, author of Bringing Home the Birkin'Bargain Fever is just as fierce, funny, tenacious, and tantalizing as its author. I love this book.' Kelly Cutrone, founder, People's Revolution, and author of Normal Gets You Nowhere'A book after my own heart. Bargain Fever lifts the veils off the sales, ensuring even more that you'll never pay retail again.' Carmen Wong Ulrich, financial contributor, CBS This Morning, and author of Generation Debt'Highly informative and entertaining.' Booklist

To Catch a Sub
Author: Lila Dubois
Publisher: Farm Boy Press
ISBN: 1941641865
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 521
Book Description
Desperation has art thief Colette Beaumont running to the man who almost caught her years ago: Interpol Agent Landon Malik. She needs Interpol to not only protect her, but arrest the dangerous man currently hunting her. The cold way Landon looks at her has Colette worried she’s made a mistake coming to him for help, despite their chemistry and past. She decides she can’t trust Landon with full truth of her situation, or show him the wounds her enemy already left on her body. But keeping secrets might not be an option, when Interpol sends her and Landon to Club Alibi. The private club for people with very specific interests may be a fortress, and staying there guarantees her safety, but as long as she’s there, she has to play by the club rules… Landon Malik knows not to trust Colette. He fell for her lies once, and he’s sure that her story about being in danger is a lie—a way to manipulate not just him, but all of Interpol. Except sometimes he sees real fear in her eyes…and real desire. For him. When his boss sends them to Club Alibi, Landon knows exactly how to get Colette to tell him the truth. He’ll become her Master. Colette is willing to submit her body to the delicious, depraved things Landon wants to do to her, but no matter how much she might want to trust Landon, it’s too risky. If he knew who was after her, he might be willing to sacrifice her to take down a ruthless criminal. But those secrets might kill her, because Colette’s enemy is closer than she thinks…and her only hope may be the man whose touch she craves. * * * To Catch a Sub is a delicious blend of *spicy* club romance, romantic suspense, and geeky art history, with a dash of noir mystery and art heist vibes. There are a few dark moments and elements, but this is not a dark romance. Please check the trigger warning. * * * To Catch a Sub Contains: - Enemies to Lovers - "Who did this to you?" - A club. No, not a dance club. A *club* - Kink and toys - Kidnapping - Rescue - Groveling - He fell first - Punishment - Sexy thievery

The Faustian Bargain
Author: Jonathan Petropoulos
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198029683
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Nazi art looting has been the subject of enormous international attention in recent years, and the topic of two history bestsellers, Hector Feliciano's The Lost Museum and Lynn Nicholas's The Rape of Europa. But such books leave us wondering: What made thoughtful, educated, artistic men and women decide to put their talents in the service of a brutal and inhuman regime? This question is the starting point for The Faustian Bargain, Jonathan Petropoulos's study of the key figures in the art world of Nazi Germany. Petropoulos follows the careers of these prominent individuals who like Faust, that German archetype, chose to pursue artistic ends through collaboration with diabolical forces. Readers meet Ernst Buchner, the distinguished museum director and expert on Old Master paintings who "repatriated" the Van Eyck brother's Ghent altarpiece to Germany, and Karl Haberstock, an art dealer who filled German museums with works bought virtually at gunpoint from Jewish collectors. Robert Scholz, the leading art critic in the Third Reich, became an officer in the chief art looting unit in France and Kajetan Muhlmann--a leading art historian--was probably the single most prolific art plunderer in the war (and arguably in history). Finally, there is Arno Breker, a gifted artist who exchanged his modernist style for monumental realism and became Hitler's favorite sculptor. If it is striking that these educated men became part of the Nazi machine, it is more remarkable that most of them rehabilitated their careers and lived comfortably after the war. Petropoulos has discovered a network of these rehabilitated experts that flourished in the postwar period, and he argues that this is a key to the tens of thousands of looted artworks that are still "missing" today. Based on previously unreleased information and recently declassified documents, The Faustian Bargain is a gripping read about the art world during this period, and a fascinating examination of the intense relationship between culture and politics in the Third Reich.

The Memory Factory
Author: Julie M. Johnson
Publisher: Purdue University Press
ISBN: 1612492037
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 763
Book Description
The Memory Factory introduces an English-speaking public to the significant women artists of Vienna at the turn of the twentieth century, each chosen for her aesthetic innovations and participation in public exhibitions. These women played important public roles as exhibiting artists, both individually and in collectives, but this history has been silenced over time. Their stories show that the city of Vienna was contradictory and cosmopolitan: despite men-only policies in its main art institutions, it offered a myriad of unexpected ways for women artists to forge successful public careers. Women artists came from the provinces, Russia, and Germany to participate in its vibrant art scene. However, and especially because so many of the artists were Jewish, their contributions were actively obscured beginning in the late 1930s. Many had to flee Austria, losing their studios and lifework in the process. Some were killed in concentration camps. Along with the stories of individual women artists, the author reconstructs the history of separate women artists' associations and their exhibitions. Chapters covering the careers of Tina Blau, Elena Luksch-Makowsky, Bronica Koller, Helene Funke, and Teresa Ries (among others) point to a more integrated and cosmopolitan art world than previously thought; one where women became part of the avant-garde, accepted and even highlighted in major exhibitions at the Secession and with the Klimt group.
