several weeks. We are starting to see some results but still have a long,

These auctions are to raise money solely to pay for celebrities at the

their games, the Los Angeles Dodgers hold a promotional event in which
Hollywood Stars play a brief game of baseball. On August 26, 1989 during
filming of CBS's highly acclaimed series, Beauty and the Beast, Ron Perlman
was the celebrity who played third base at this event. He autographed this
baseball on that day. It is in a protective case and is accompanied by over
20 color photographs of Ron in his Dodger uniform - running, batting,
fielding and talking to the press and fans. You also get that day's Dodger
ticket and Field Pass. You will never find a more unique item in Beauty and
the Beast memorabilia! $5.00 domestic shipping, contact seller for

p, much art. Q-fer says: This time, the entertaining "ifs" of dreams take
Vincent and Catherine to Regency England, the Arabian desert, Tolkien's
Middle Earth, and a bowling alley Below, among other varied locales. Some
stories follow up others in the first volume-notably, a return to
"Tunnelwood," Hooson's Regency romance, and a sequel to Kay Simon's fine
"Ladyfaire," "Heirs to the Keep." Generally good editing, sensitive poetry,
and fine artwork demonstrate that Mountain Rose Press is continuing its
tradition of craftsmanship. Rita Terrell's cover is a knockout.

novelette found in 'Neath the Sidewalks of New York 1. After Vincent and
