2. Legendary New York DA Herbert Stern signing on Tues., September 11th at 7:00

Start: 09/11/2012 - 7:00pm
End: 09/11/2012 - 7:00pm

Herbert J. Stern is considered one of the most famous district attorneys in the history of the United States. He helped catch the killers of Malcolm X, indicted the head of the French CIA for shipping 100 pounds of heroin into the United States, prosecuted the real-life Tony Soprano, and convicted the mayors of Newark, Jersey City, and Atlantic City. He will be here to sign copies of his new book Diary of a DA on Tuesday, September 11th at 7:00 P.M. 

In 1961, twenty-five-year-old Herbert Jay Stern, fresh from reserve duty, stood in his green army uniform in a New York County courtroom to be sworn in as an attorney. He could only guess what his life as a prosecuting lawyer would be. A dozen years later, in the wake of the national scandal of Watergate, Stern, draped in black robes now, would take the oath of office as a federal judge. In the years between, the idealistic young Stern would sharpen his skills in the realities of the criminal courts of New York City, to emerge as the lead trial attorney for the Justice Department, charged with breaking the back of organized crime in New Jersey.

In a rave review,  Publisher's Weekly noted that The Diary of a D.A  was ...  "Extremely well written, Sternas account of his personal and professional quest to uphold the law and justice is finely realized and quite impressive."

3. Caroline Kennedy here to sign on Thurs., Sept 27 at 7:00

Start: 09/27/2012 - 7:00pm
End: 09/27/2012 - 7:00pm

Caroline Kennedy, daughter of former president John F. Kennedy, will be here to sign copies of her newly released book Listening In; The Secret White House Recordings of John F. Kennedy on Thursday, September 27th at 7:00 P.M. Only those who have purchased a book from Mendham Books will be permitted inside the store during the event.

You can preorder a copy online, by phone or in person  to reserve a place in line (line numbers are assigned in order of purchase). You may also have a signed copy shipped to you after the event. 

In conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of the Kennedy presidency, the John F. Kennedy Library and historian Ted Widmer have carefully selected the most compelling and important of these remarkable recordings for release, fully restored and re-mastered onto two 75-minute CDs for the first time." Listening In" represents a uniquely unscripted, insider account of a president and his cabinet grappling with the day-to-day business of the White House and guiding the nation through a hazardous era of uncertainty.

Accompanied by extensively annotated transcripts of the recordings, and with a foreword by Caroline Kennedy, "Listening In" delivers the story behind the story in the unguarded words and voices of the decision-makers themselves." Listening In" covers watershed events, including the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Space Race, Vietnam, and the arms race, and offers fascinating glimpses into the intellectual methodology of a circumspect president and his brilliant, eclectic brain trust.

4. Local Author Garret Kramer will be here to sign on Wed, Sept 19th at 7

Start: 09/19/2012 - 7:00pm
End: 09/19/2012 - 7:00pm

For years, athletes, coaches, parents, and organizations have searched for the secrets to optimum mental performance. However, in spite of a myriad of tools and techniques, success and contentment continue to be as elusive as ever, until now. Garret Kramer’s Stillpower offers a revolutionary explanation for this predicament and provides a basic, yet dynamic, approach for the future. In an accessible style, Kramer reveals the innate principles behind consistent achievement and highlights the misalignment between the experiences of all performers and the strategies of the coaches, psychologists, and experts who are hoping to help them.

Stillpower uses real-life examples to explore such questions as: What is “the zone” and what must we do (or not do) to get there? Why do we need to understand the difference between insight and intellect? Is goal setting really useful? Why doesn’t willpower work? And why do the best mentors focus on a person’s state of mind and not behavior? Virtually all of us—athletes and non-athletes alike—are looking outside of ourselves, trying to unlock the keys to happiness, freedom, and excellence with ease. Stillpower encourages us to look within to finally find the answers.

5. Tony "Goose" Siragusa- football broadcaster and former star tackle here Wed Sept 5th at 7:30

Start: 09/05/2012 - 7:30pm
End: 09/05/2012 - 7:30pm

Former Indiana Colts defensive tackle and football commentator Tony 'Goose' Siragusa will be here on Wednesday, September 5th at 7:30 P.M. to sign copies of his new book Goose: The Outrageous Life and Times of a Football Guy. 

You can preorder a copy  online to be shipped to you or to pick up at the store during the event. 

Siragusa, former defensive tackle for the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens known as Goose to his family and legions of fans, wasn't always a successful athlete, encountering naysayers, injuries and a career that nearly didn't happen, which he relates in his breezy, opinionated, and funny account from the front lines of the game.  Although football lovers will appreciate the insider details, Siragusa is more than just the sum of his shoulder pads, offering an ode to tight-knit clans, small towns, and perseverance in the face of huge odds.

6. Long Valley's Kim Kavin signing her book on dog rescue Sat., Sept 15th at 2:00

Start: 09/15/2012 - 2:00pm
End: 09/15/2012 - 2:00pm

Long Valley based author and journalist Kim Kavin will be here to sign copies of her new touching new story Little Boy Blue, which is the story of her rescued dog Blue and rescued dogs across the nation. She will be here on Saturday, September 15th at 2:00 P.M. A portion of the sales will benefit a local animal rescue group and you can order a signed copy online, by phone or in person. 

When  Kim Kavin decided that she wanted a puppy, she did what millions of people do every year: clicked on an online photo and submitted an application. She had no idea that the adorable brindle puppy—advertised as healthy and near her home in New Jersey—was actually a last-minute rescue from a gas-chamber shelter in North Carolina. Blue had arrived in the Northeast with at least a dozen other dogs in an RV that is just one among countless transports whose sponsors are dedicating their efforts to saving dogs.. Blue was happy and friendly, but he seemed to have endured some unusual albeit unknown ordeal. The dog’s manner prompted Kavin to trace his history all the way back to a long row of cages where Blue had been tagged to be put down in just three more days. Little Boy Blue is the true story of one sweet puppy’s journey of survival. It’s also a shocking exposé that describes a brutal ongoing reality inside some of this country’s taxpayer-funded shelters. But Little Boy Blue also tells an inspiring story of the grass-roots rescue network that has exploded across the nation in recent years. Readers will come to know and love a very special dog who now brings smiles to the faces of everyone he meets. From a single click of Kim Kavin’s computer mouse, Blue’s journey of a lifetime began. This is the story of Little Boy Blue, told with candor and a great deal of love. Readers will see Blue and other foster dogs that have been rescued by Kim Kavin in this book’s color photo insert.
