Rich Benoit, Lisa Rogak

An entertaining and inspirational memoir by the world’s most popular DIY expert and car aficionado, revealing how Rich Benoit went from buying a left-for-dead Tesla to becoming a successful entrepreneur.   People are fascinated by Tesla: the cars, the stock price, and especially its headline-grabbing CEO.  Rich Benoit was the first YouTuber to pull back the curtain on the cult-like business model that is the Tesla company, and he’s personally battled its consumer-unfriendly business practices. In Going Fast and Fixing Things, Rich provides readers with behind-the-scenes access not only to his Rich Rebuilds YouTube channel but to his off-camera life as well.  Throughout his life, Rich has almost always been the proverbial “only Black guy in the room,” but despite the fact that online car culture—especially electric vehicle fandom—skews overwhelmingly white, he has become the most popular car rebuilding guy on the internet. His voice on the page is funny and intimate and a little goofy—just like his video persona—but always tempered by a passion for the right to repair and a clear determination to create success for himself as well as for his fans. Going Fast and Fixing Things also includes tips to help readers fix, drive, and buy their own cars, along with advice on how to defy the disposable-is-better consumerist ethos that saturates our current culture.

Bad Henry - The Murderous...

Ron Chepesiuk

Henry Louis Wallace terrorized Charlotte, North Carolina, from May 1992 to March 1994. 
 
 
 
Wallace preyed on lower economic class Black women between seventeen and thirty-five years old. He knew most of his victims, some through his job at Taco Bell, and gained their trust with his friendly demeanor and gentle nature—concealing a monster fueled by drug abuse and rage against women. 
 
 
 
A rarity in that he was an African American serial killer, his murderous rampage spurred controversy throughout the city. Community members accused local police of ignoring the murders because of the victims' race. The ensuing investigation became the largest in North Carolina’s history. 
 
 
 
Wallace was eventually found guilty and convicted of nine counts of murder, but he admitted to more killings while incarcerated; he is potentially responsible for anywhere from twenty to ninety deaths of Black women. Wallace continues to appeal and awaits his execution at Central Prison in Raleigh. 
 
 
 
BAD HENRY: The Murderous Rampage of 'The Taco Bell Strangler' by Ron Chepesiuk offers valuable insight into the psychology of serial killers and sheds light on issues surrounding race and policing.

Right Is Only Half of What's...

Geoffrey Giuliano

Here, at last, is what can only be described as a riveting compendium of interviews and quotes directly from the spiritual heart of the Beatles, George Harrison. Sourced from the extensive archives of rock biographer and historian Geoffrey Giuliano, here is the quiet Beatle in his own inspirational words. The innate truth, wisdom, and sincerity of Harrison shines through in this touching audio tribute to the journeyman musician, composer, dedicated yogi, and humble gardener. Although George insisted he was only a regular guy, there is quite a lot of evidence to the contrary. Throughout his often magical, turbulent, unlikely life, he selflessly raised millions for charity and still does via the good works of his personal charity, The Material World Foundation. He was, too, the grandfather of world music, introducing audiences to be exquisite, ethereal complexity of both Indian music and the spiritually liberating Sanskrit mantras from the 5,000-year-old Vedic scriptures. Harrison was also instrumental in turning on a global audience to ethical vegetarianism, reincarnation, Hare Krishna, meditation, and, yes, even the thoughtful careful use of psychedelic drugs. In this one-of-a-kind collection, there are no journalists getting in the way of the purity of George’s expansive ideas and his carefully told personal history. Here is George Harrison truly in his own words, speaking across the waters of time to generations of dedicated fans still deeply moved by this simple man’s great music, philosophical importance, and well-deserved historical significance. Author Giuliano knew George and even contributed to recordings made in the late 1980s at the former Beatle’s Friar Park Studios, working together with former Bonzo Dog Band drummer "Legs" Larry Smith on a song entitled Mandalay. Here is then the absolutely perfect collection of George Harrison’s finest thoughts, recollections, and untold Beatles tales important to the collection of every sincere fan,
