Who's
Your Tiger?

The ultimate baseball book—1020 pages of your favorite baseball players' adventures. Dean's "colossal achievement" (Detroit News' David Good) celebrates primarily 50s Hall of Fame icon Al Kaline, millennial #1 superstar Miguel Cabrera, top batting-average hitter of all time Ty Cobb, and Bronx-born slugger Hank Greenberg.

After fifty years, including forty-something of Dean teaching History of Rock at the college level, Dean decided it was time for another Rock Revolution. Sparked by gleaming arrays of exclusive photos from the inner circle of rock concerts, as well as standbys like NYC's Photofest (plus a few of Dean's own impromptu pix), The Rock Revolution Rolls On covers the whole teeming domain of a century of rock and roll.

*This vintage Rock Revolution 1967 cover by Phil Frank will comprise a portion of designer Jeremy Dean's new Rock Revolution Rolls On cover.

The music never died. Writer Maury Dean shows that Buddy Holly and the Crickets are the most important rock-band pioneers of all time. Holly's Crickets influenced (perhaps invented) the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the whole concept of a rock and roll band. This'll Be the Day is foremost a love story between Texan singer/songwriter Holly and his bride Maria Elena. This 2nd edition features a Cricket's introduction and 100 additional pages.

Glory Days—Still Running Against the Wind is YOUR new guide to the World of Running. It opens up new roads and vistas and adventures and opportunities for you to succeed in running—NOW. It's for all runners everywhere. From the back of the pack to the mammoth middle, to the front lines of racing, this Glory Days trip will take you from the early 1970s running boom and America's Olympic quests to the local 5K and 10K and marathon arenas, where we all chase gold-medal dreams. Writers Maury Dean and Coach Ed Melnik survey the best runners in two major markets over half a century (New York & Michigan/Ohio), roughly one-eighth of the American running scene, with adventures in the other seven-eighths from Alaska to California to Florida and virtually everywhere else. Dean's memoir? If you're looking for a "Couch Potato to 5K Winner" theme, including five-year age groups from 19 to 90+, and you're looking to expand your own "Runner's World," try this actual story of a kid who couldn't earn a varsity cross-country letter—hitting the national Top Ten in 5K and 10K distances in his fifties. Glory Days is a celebration of ALL levels of running, and the likely winner is you.

You're a Rock fan, and most of your favorite Rock Stars of FIVE generations are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. Many of YOUR favorites, however, are not IN there yet—and not just because of the 25-year Eligibility Rule.

Fans like you are now allowed to vote, due to the Hall changing their Induction requirement rules, around 2020. It's no longer a decision for just varsity industry execs or rock critics, or rock superstars already in there. Here's where YOU, and your favorite band or recording artists, come in! Through the Front Door! For the first time in the Hall's 39-year induction history, YOU (the fan) now owns the vital vote, along with the usual in-group of establishment executives and superstars. How? Check out Rock the Hall. Our new cutting-edge book on YOUR rocking roster likely includes your personal favorites. And we list the Swift batch of singers not eligible until 2050, but with the power to someday make it easily to the Hall. Our Rock the Hall book COVER is by Nine Days' piano man Jeremy Dean [Maury Dean's son {#1, Summer 2000, "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)},"--Google it). Does writer Maury Dean boost his son's band (eligible THIS year) for the Rock Hall? What a question.

You will likely learn 789 things about the Rock Hall you didn't know yet, and valuable info about great possible inductees you may already love. You'll also get unique news about who may have come up with the Hall Concept Idea 20 years BEFORE the first Induction Class of 1986 (including Elvis, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Fats Domino, the Everly Brothers, Jerry Lee Lewis, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, and one famous Soul Brother with Famous Flames, who you'll discover in the pages 962-966 Zone). It's a good idea to pick up a six-pack of Rock the Hall books for your friends, lovers, and rock and roll relatives, over the holidays. Cheers. And Rock On.
