(The watch tarnished after a month)."We are planning a class action lawsuit to have these Guides banned," The National Institute of CEOs.

In Music Is Forever: Dizzy Gillespie, the Jazz Legend and Me, Dave Usher, white and Jewish, tells the story of how he, at age 14, met the jazz giant, a black man who practiced the Bahá’i Faith, and forged a 50-year friendship. During those years, Dave Usher helped produce Dizzy’s records, and traveled the world with him. The book saves some important jazz history and gives us important insights into Dizzy the musician and Dizzy the man. The book is praised on the back cover by three acclaimed jazz critics, Nat Hentoff, Doug Ramsey, and Alyn Shipton. Hentoff says, “All of Dizzy is here in this book.” Shipton declares, “…Usher offers us a very personal view into the life of one of America’s best loved entertainers and jazz musicians.” Ramsey states Usher, “…tells the story with warmth, humor and detail that further illuminate not only the great trumpeter’s genius but also his humanity.”

An Official Junior Library Guild Selection, Adult Crossover Nonfiction "A shocking tale of wrongful conviction . . . that brings general conditions into cruelly sharp focus." ―Kirkus Reviews Justice Failed is the story of Alton Logan, an African American man who served twenty-six years in prison for a murder he did not commit. In 1983, Logan was falsely convicted of fatally shooting an off-duty Cook County corrections officer, Lloyd M. Wickliffe, at a Chicago-area McDonald’s, and sentenced to life in prison. While serving time for unrelated charges, Andrew Wilson―the true murderer―admitted his guilt to his own lawyers, Dale Coventry and Jamie Kunz. However, bound by the legal code of ethics known as the absolutism of client-attorney privilege, Coventry and Kunz could not take action. Instead, they signed an affidavit proclaiming Logan’s innocence and locked the document in a hidden strong box. It wasn’t until after Wilson’s death in 2007 that his lawyers were able to come forward with the evidence that would eventually set Alton Logan free after twenty-six years in prison. Written in collaboration with veteran journalist Berl Falbaum, Justice Failed explores the sharp divide that exists between commonsense morality―an innocent man should be free―and the rigid ethics of the law that superseded that morality. Throughout the book, in-depth interviews and legal analyses give way to Alton Logan himself as he tells his own story, from his childhood in Chicago to the devastating impact that the loss of a quarter century has had on his life―he entered prison at twenty-eight years of age, and was released at fifty-five.

Not One Normal Day&nbsp;is a must for history enthusiasts.&nbsp; Of all the books written on Donald Trump, and there have been many, this is probably the only one that chronicles the Trump administration in "real time."&nbsp; The 476-page book, including many satirical columns, is a compilation of critiques on Donald Trump which were published in Michigan newspapers. Illustrated with editorial cartoons. The articles start with his candidacy and cover the administration through his loss for reelection November 3, 2020, the insurrection January 6, 2021 and Trump's second impeachment.&nbsp;Falbaum points out that for five years (including the candidacy) instead of one normal day, we had daily scandals, controversies, corruption and a president who, according to fact-checkers, during his 1,462 days as president, told 30,573 lives, an average of 20.9 lies a day.&nbsp; His record for one day was 505 lies. Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm (2003-2011), now U.S. secretary for energy, said the book is a "must-read" and that "Berl Falbaum has given America a gift." Larry Dubin, law professor emeritus, University of Detroit Mercy, called&nbsp;Not One Normal Day&nbsp;an "important book written through the keen eye of a veteran reporter..."&nbsp; Sander M. (Sandy) Levin, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives (1983-2019), called the book "highly insightful."&nbsp;Not One Normal&nbsp;Day has received additional endorsements as well.

Johnny Valenti is a hit man as well as a man committed to ethics. True, the standard he abides by is somewhat different from traditional ethics, yet he is a man of principle. His uncompromising commitment is to omertá – the code of silence. He believes when you are involved in murder, arson, extortion, and other such crimes, you keep your mouth shut, no matter what. So living up to his beliefs, Valenti takes the rap for a murder he did not commit, and serves eighteen years in prison. When he gets out, using his professional skills, he takes care of the rat that framed him. Finally free, he tries being a law abiding citizen but he simply can’t cut it. He’s had very little training, indeed none, on the right side of the law. Thus, he returns to his roots, working for a powerful organized crime family led by the brutal boss of bosses. He performs well, getting excellent job performance reviews, but as in most jobs, office politics is killing him – so to speak – and he clashes with the boss. Given his skills as one of the best in the murder-for-hire business, he smells that he may be the target of the boss of bosses, but Valenti turns the table on him. With the help of a mole in a special U.S. federal crime fighting unit, he outwits the boss, and devises an ingenious plan that assures he can live with his true love in anonymity and peace. He disappears leaving no forwarding address.
