"One of the most notorious rock biographies ever written." -Chicago Tribune Originally published in 1985, and last updated in 2008, Hammer of the Gods is considered the ultimate word on Led Zeppelin, and a definitive rock and roll classic that sets the bar for what such books could and should be. Dey Street is proud to have such a category defining title on its backlist, a book that captures the first heavy metal monsters in all their excessive glory. Led Zeppelin fully embody the "sex, drugs and rock and roll" ethos--all captured here in glorious detail. With 20% new material from bestselling biographer Stephen Davis, this edition of Hammer of the Gods is set to captivate a new generation of music fans, Zeppelin fans, and a new generation of readers.

"Funniest guy in the Outdoor Life and Field and Stream gang, McManus here offers another bag of whimsey in the Great Outdoors" — Kirkus Reviews In this collection of thirty zany stories, spoofing camping, fishing, and other outdoor recreational activities, McManus shares his hilarious wilderness misadventures. From facing an angry bear with an unloaded gun and the folly of running a boat while it's still on the trailer to not questioning the ingredients found in camp cookout cuisine and the best methods of catching grasshoppers, no one knows how to express Mother Nature's sense of humor like Patrick F. McManus. Praise for Patrick F. McManus "Patrick McManus is a treasure." — The Atlantic "Everybody should read Patrick McManus." — The New York Times Book Review "A style that brings to mind Mark Twain, Art Buchwald, and Garrison Keillor." — People "Describing Patrick F. McManus as an outdoor humorist is like saying Mark Twain wrote books about small boys . . . the funniest writer around today—indoors or outdoors." — The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
