JULYHumphrey BogartThe Making of a LegendDarwin Porterogie, we hardly knew you.” That’s what readers will be“Bsaying after reading this dishy, myth-shattering biographyof the screen’s most famous movie star. Award-winningbiographer Darwin Porter reveals for the first time whatreally lay under that trench coat. Exposed with all their juicydetails is what Bogie never told his fourth wife, Lauren Bacall,herself a screen legend.It’s all here: The screen icon’s unknown affair with BetteDavis, his co-star in The Petrified Forest, and even detailsabout his on- and off-screen romance with Ingrid Bergmanduring the filming of Casablanca—a tragic liaison which hasbeen falsely denied for years.Detailing the inner secrets of Bogie’s tumultuous life fromhis birth in 1899 until his marriage to Bacall in 1944, TheMaking of a Legend contains a new revelation on every page.One tantalizing tidbit, for example, provides lurid detailsabout how his third wife, actress Mayo Methot of “The BattlingBogarts,” plotted his murder.In this biography, the mystery of Bogie’s bumpy ride fromBroadway to Hollywood has, like the enigma of The MalteseFalcon, been solved. A serial seducer, he enjoyed affairs withthe sexiest sirens of Hollywood’s Golden Age, including MarleneDietrich, Barbara Stanwyck, Jean Harlow, Tallulah Bankhead,Joan Crawford, and a host of lesser but in most cases,fiercely ambitious divas. Within the pages of this book, pre-Code Hollywood—flappers, Prohibition, bathtub gin, andsex of all persuasions—is re-created.We learn about Bogie’s longtime affair with Verita Thompson,a liaison that lasted longer than any of his marriages andwhich included a final deathbed declaration of their love.This revelatory book is based on dusty unpublished memoirs,letters, diaries, and often personal interviews from thewomen—and the men—who adored him. There are alsoshocking allegations from colleagues, former friends, andjilted lovers who wanted the screen icon to burn in hell. Allthis and more, much more, in Darwin Porter’s newestcelebrity exposé, Humphrey Bogart, The Making of a Legend.One of the most prolific biographers in the world, DarwinPorter inherited the diaries, notes, and oral histories of writersand witnesses who had known and followed the career ofHumphrey Bogart beginning in the 1920s. This remarkablecompendium of information results from three generationsof Bogart fans watching, evaluating and recording the foiblesand eccentricities of America’s most famous movie star.• Co-op availableBLOOD MOON PRODUCTIONS, LTD.July • Biography/Film520 pages • 6 x 9 • Carton qty: tbd230 b&w photosISBN13: 978-1-936003-14-31-936003-14-7 • $27.95 cl. • [ T ]National Book Network • 1-800-462-6420 June–July 2010D–71

JULYThree Prescriptionsfor HappinessKen Keyes, Jr.Apioneer in the personal growth field and a lifelongpeace advocate, Ken Keyes, Jr. was the author offifteen books—with four million copies in print in atleast seven languages.Though polio confined him to a wheelchair as aquadriplegic at age 27, he saw his life as having beenenriched by the disease—“because without it, I don’tthink I’d have discovered the personal growth methodsthat have meant so much to me. I view my socalled‘handicap’ as another gift my life has offeredme.”This deceptively simple little book contains three secrets—threeprescriptions from this self-described“happiness doctor”—which are at once obvious andprofoundly life-changing. According to DeepakChopra, “Ken Keyes’s books convey profound wisdomand make it practical with elegant simplicity.” And Dr.Wayne Dyer said, “He not only writes about transformationand higher consciousness, it was his destiny tolive it every day, ultimately becoming a role model forall of us.”Ken Keyes, Jr. (1919–1995) lived in Coos Bay, OR,where he wrote, spoke, and gave workshops.• Co-op available• National print and online advertisingLimited LiabilityCompanySmall Business Start-Up Kit, 4th EditionDaniel Sitarz, Attorney-at-LawLimited Liability Companies are the newest form ofbusiness entity and have become one of the mostpopular ways for entrepreneurs to save money, taxes,and protect themselves from personal liability.
