Where is this book?

Two years ago I ran into a book that i thought was interesting if not a bit shocking. It was titled, "A Coincidence of Interests" and dealt with debunking Conspiracy theories in power and politics in a way that actually confirmed them.

Please help me find a (chick lit) book! I can't remember the title or the author!

Looking for a book on collecting

I had a book from the late 80's or early 90's that was about collecting. I don't believe it was a Lyle. It was not focused on any particular type of item but was, instead, an overview of just about every conceivable area of interest. It gave a one page summary of the particular area of interest and ...

Another "help, who does this belong to" query

Restricted FM 101-10 Staff Officers Field Manual

I found this book in a trunk I purchased at a garage sale. FM101-10; War Department; Staff Officers' Field Manual; Organization, Technical and Logistical Data' June 15, 1941. The back of the binder is a little loose, but all in all, I think it looks great.
