The Sith have existed for centuries. As Sith Lords rose to power, some chose to record their philosophy, exploits, and schemes to seize control of the galaxy. When they fell, their knowledge vanished. Or so it seemed... Over the years, their writings were passed among select Sith-and even Jedi-who added their comments to the rare pages. In his quest for total domination, Darth Sidious tracked down what remained of the five most legendary dark side texts. Drawing from that knowledge, he wrote a sixth text-his own manifesto. These documents, along with several collected Sith objects, form the...Book of Sith. Within a black-and-red pyramid-shaped case, this collection has remained hidden for generations. Now with the touch of a button, all who are tempted may unlock the power and madness, and delve into the dark side...

The classic novel that inspired the beloved Tim Burton film and the Broadway musical. In his prime, Edward Bloom was an extraordinary man. He could outrun anybody. He never missed a day of school. He saved lives and tamed giants. Animals loved him, people loved him, women loved him. He knew more jokes than any man alive. At least that''s what he told his son, William. But now Edward Bloom is dying, and William wants desperately to know the truth about his elusive father—this indefatigable teller of tall tales—before it''s too late. So, using the few facts he knows, William re-creates Edward''s life in a series of legends and myths, through which he begins to understand his father''s great feats, and his great failings. The result is hilarious and wrenching, tender and outrageous.
