I just finished Armageddon Revisited by Kurt Vonnegut.  It's stories and essays that weren't published before his death.  I love all his work, but I think this may be the best.  It also had some of his artwork in it.

Pieces Of My Heart by Robert J Wagner

A good book & interesting thing about it is not on sale yet. Release date is 9/23/08

What I bought on half.com was (& this is printed in a black circle on the soft cover)
 Uncorrected Proof not for sale.
There are no pictures though. I'm sure when the book comes out those copies will have photos.

This was a good book but I was careful who I shared it with.  You would really have to know your Bible to extract what he is trying to say.
