The eighteen-year New Jersey Senator, financial and investment adviser, Olympic and NBA athlete, national radio host, and bestselling author's varied experiences help to inform his unique and much-sought-after point of view on Washington and the country at large.

In "We Can All Do Better," for the first time since the financial meltdown and since the worst of the intensifying political gridlock, Bradley offers his own concise, powerful, and highly personal review of the state of the nation. Bradley argues that government is not the problem. He criticizes the role of money and politics, explains how continuing on our existing foreign policy, electoral, and economic paths will mean a diminished future, and lays out exactly what needs to be done to reverse course.

Authors Les & Sue Fox will be Appraising Art on Sunday, June 3rd at 1. They will also be signing their new book, The Art Hunter's Handbook.

New York Times bestselling authors Les and Sue Fox have been art and rare coin experts for 40 years. Their unique Art Auction Partnership program has connected them to thousands of average Americans, like Alison Beldsoe of North Carolina who found a 1930's painting by Fern Coppedge at her hot dog stand. The Foxes appraised it for her, at no charge, and six months later the painting was sold at auction for $29,800. Les and Sue live in New Jersey, which gives them close access to 20 million people, as well as the New York art and auction market. However, today anything that can happen in real life can happen on the internet.

The Art Hunters Handbook is an Antiques Roadshow type book that reveals Trade Secrets to hunting down valuable paintings at garage sales and flea markets. The cover photo is the true story of Ripening Pears, a 19th century masterpiece by Joseph Decker bought at a garage sale for $5 and sold to the National Gallery of Art for $1,000,000! Will you find a million-dollar painting for five bucks? Probably not. But you might find a $5,000 painting for $100. Think Of This Book As A Lottery Ticket, the Foxes claim, With Better Odds. The Art Hunters Handbook is a profusely illustrated art book for the average person, not just art collectors, who'd like to make money while having fun.

Naval Officer David Sears will be here to sign copies of his new narrative, Pacific Air, on Saturday, June 2nd at 2:00

In a grand sweeping narrative, "Pacific Air" tells the inspiring story of how, despite initial disastrous defeats, a generation of young naval aviators challenged and ultimately vanquished a superior Japanese air force and fleet in the Pacific. The instruments of the United States aviators' triumphs were the elegantly designed F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, as well as the lethal TBF Avenger torpedo bomber. With superbly trained U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviators at their controls, these planes became the most successful aerial weapons in naval history.A majestic portrait of a proud era from dual perspectives--the inventive minds of young aeronautical engineers and the deadly artistry of even younger combat pilots--"Pacific Air" brings this important yet underappreciated chapter of World War II vividly to life.

Renowned mystery and thriller writer Lincoln Child will be here on Tuesday, June 12th to sign copies of his new book The Third Gate. You can preorder a copy online to pick up or have shipped

Under the direction of famed explorer Porter Stone, an archaeological team is secretly attempting to locate the tomb of an ancient pharaoh who was unlike any other in history. Stone believes he has found the burial chamber of King Narmer, the near mythical god- king who united upper and lower Egypt in 3200 B.C., and the archaeologist has reason to believe that the greatest prize of all--Narmer's crown--might be buried with him. No crown of an Egyptian king has ever been discovered, and Narmer's is the elusive "double" crown of the two Egypts, supposedly pos-sessed of awesome powers.

The dig itself is located in one of the most forbidding places on earth--the Sudd, a nearly impassable swamp in north-ern Sudan. Amid the nightmarish, disorienting tangle of mud and dead vegetation, a series of harrowing and inexpli-cable occurrences are causing people on the expedition to fear a centuries- old curse. With a monumental discovery in reach, Professor Jeremy Logan is brought onto the project to investigate. What he finds will raise new questions . . . and alarm.

In the hands of master storyteller Lincoln Child, "The Third Gate" breaks new ground and introduces a fascinating new protagonist to the thriller world.
