The Chinese Chop by Juanita Sheridan, ISBN 0915230321
It's 1949 and the postwar housing shortage in New York City forces 27-year-old novelist Janice Cameron, newly arrived from Honolulu, to share a bedroom in a Washington Square rooming house with Lily Wu, a comparative stranger.
Lily needs Janice to front for her because she's afraid that the other roomers might not be willing to rent to a young Chinese-American woman. But it soon becomes apparent to Janice that Lily has an ulterior motive for wanting to live in this converted old mansion.
No sooner do Janice and Lily move in than the building superintendent is found dead in the basement of cardiac arrest, Foul play is suspected and suspicion falls on the other residents of the house.
Among the suspects are Bela Palyi, an artist who knows too well that "no man works harder for his money that the man who marries it; " Evelyn Sayre, a writer of children's books; Henri Ledoux, a French refugee; Doris Manning, who loves Henri; Jarvis Lloyd, a frustrated musician who works in a music store; and Louise Kane, a radio actress desperate to conceal her past.
And then there's the mysterious Lily Wu, a self-assured 25-year-old who can assume whatever demeanor best suits her purposes. Critic Anthony Boucher (for whom Bouchercon, the World Mystery Convention, is named) proclaimed her as one of the best female sleuths of the era -- and the only he was devotedly in love with, citing his respect for her professional skills and delight in her personal charms.
The New Autonomous House: Design and Planning for Sustainability by Brenda Vale, ISBN 0500282870
In 1975 Brenda and Robert Vale published The Autonomous House, a manifesto offering down-to-earth suggestions for building homes that do not pollute the earth or squander its resources. Their book received tremendous praise around the world and was seen as a significant move toward green architecture. Nearly twenty years later, in the early 1990s, the Vales decided to turn their groundbreaking ideas into reality.
The New Autonomous House records their building of a house on the principles of sustainable resources in the small town of Southwell in the British Midlands. As specialists in green architecture, the Vales sought to create an environmentally friendly four-bedroom house that was neither exotic in appearance nor difficult to maintain. They document the philosophy, design, and construction of a building that can produce power from the sun and obtain drinking water from the rain.
The New Autonomous House has a simple but revolutionary message: It is possible to live in an inexpensive...

The Hostage Bride by Jane Feather, ISBN 0553578901
Dear Reader,
Here is the first of my new "Brides" trilogy, in which three unconventional young women vow they will never marry--only to be overtaken by destiny. Bride #1 is the outspoken Portia....
It's bad enough that seventeen-year-old Portia Worth is taken in by her uncle, the marquis of Granville, after her father dies. As the bastard niece, Portia knows she can expect little beyond a roof over her head and a place at the table.
But it truly adds insult to injury when the Granvilles' archenemy, the outlaw Rufus Decatur, hatches a scheme to abduct the marquis's daughter--only to kidnap Portia by accident.
Portia, who possesses more than a streak of independence as well as a talent for resistance, does not take kindly to being abducted--mistakenly or otherwise.
Decatur will soon find himself facing the challenge of his life, both on the battlefield and in the bedroom, as he contends with this misfit of a girl who has the audacity to believe herself the equal of any...
