|  | Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary, Louis Darling, Stockard Channing
Ramona Quimby can't wait to get to kindergarten, but when she arrives she finds it incredibly confusing. The teacher tells her to sit in her seat for the present, but the present never comes. During recess, she finds herself stuck on a bench while the other kids get to play games--just because she couldn't resist pulling on another girl's curls to see them go boing. This is the first book starring the rascally Ramona. AUTHOR: Beverly Cleary, Louis Darling, Stockard Channing

 | The Best of Annals of Improbable Research by Marc Abrahams
What better way to ring in the new publishing year than with a special 1998 edition of the bestselling, instant classic, The Best of Annals of Improbable Research -- featuring absolutely no new material, no new insights, and no new jokes. We didn't even correct the spelling mistakes -- because we want you to think they were done on purpose the first time. Marc Abraham's The Best of Annals of Improbable Research is a collection of the juiciest, most preposterous articles published in The Annals of Improbable Research, a journal aimed at casting the spotlight on research achievements that cannot and should not be reproduced . Each of the honored scientists and projects describe herein have been honored by Abrahams at his yearly First Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony at Harvard University, broadcast nationally on National Public Radio (the Eighth First Annual Ceremony will be held October 1998). So what IS in the new edition? The Old Edition! The one that has been tickling the soles of the feet of readers' imaginations with stories of some of the most remarkably gooty endeavors ever undertaken in the name of scientific enlightenment. All of the favorites from the original publication are back (and we mean All) -- completely unabridged, unaltered, and undisturbed. And all this at the exact same price as before! You've never read a book like this before -- unless you have. AUTHOR: Marc Abrahams
