From the one-of-kind mind of Bill James, famous for revolutionizing the way we think about baseball, comes a "thought-provoking meditation" (Seattle Times) and epic tour through American crime--now available in paperback. The man who revolutionized the way we think about baseball examines our cultural obsession with murder--delivering a unique, engrossing, brilliant history of tabloid crime in America. Celebrated writer and contrarian Bill James has voraciously read true crime throughout his life and has been interested in writing a book on the topic for decades. With Popular Crime, James takes readers on an epic journey from Lizzie Borden to the Lindbergh baby, from the Black Dahlia to O. J. Simpson, explaining how crimes have been committed, investigated, prosecuted and written about, and how that has profoundly influenced our culture over the last few centuries--even if we haven't always taken notice. Exploring such phenomena as serial murder, the fluctuation of crime rates, the value of evidence, radicalism and crime, prison reform and the hidden ways in which crimes have shaped, or reflected, our society, James chronicles murder and misdeeds from the 1600s to the present day. James pays particular attention to crimes that were sensations during their time but have faded into obscurity, as well as still-famous cases, some that have never been solved, including the Lindbergh kidnapping, the Boston Strangler and JonBenet Ramsey. Satisfyingly sprawling and tremendously entertaining, Popular Crime is a professed amateur's powerful examination of the incredible impact crime stories have on our society, culture and history.Binding Type: Paperback

Great for kids!
Color: White
I bought this stylus for the kids to use with their iPads, and it definitely gets the job done. It connects easily, charges fast, and works smoothly for drawing, writing, and playing around on apps.
The palm rejection is a big plus—it makes it a lot easier for them to use without messing up what they’re doing. It’s also pretty responsive, which I wasn’t necessarily expecting at this price.
Overall, it served its purpose well. If you’re looking for something affordable and functional for kids (or even light everyday use), this is a solid option.

Rock-Solid Apple Pencil Replacement for iPad Mini
Color: White
Despite the box arriving pretty beat up inside the Amazon packaging, the pen itself was in perfect condition and it’s been outstanding.
It works flawlessly with my iPad Mini (Gen 7, A17). The physical on/off button is a standout feature for me; the tactile click is far more satisfying and reliable than the touch-sensitive controls found on other pens.
I primarily use this stylus while flying, taking notes in the air, and it performs exactly how I need it to. The magnetic attachment is especially impressive because it’s strong enough to add real security inside my iPad case. Even in rough air, I don’t have to worry about it getting knocked loose.
I previously used a pencil from another brand that worked fine overall, but the weak (or nonexistent) magnetic hold was a dealbreaker. This one solves that problem completely and when it came time to buying a new pencil because I lost the old one, this was my choice.
If you’re looking for a dependable, well-built Apple Pencil replacement with a solid magnetic connection and a satisfying physical control, this is an easy recommendation. You also CANNOT go wrong with the price!

Perfect stylus for my iPad.
Color: White
This stylus works great! It was easy to set up, and is perfect for my needs. The pen is the perfect weight and seems to be made of good material. I anticipate it will last a long time. The pen came charged and I still haven’t charged it. If you like using a stylus on an iPad, this one feels just like using a pencil. I like to write, so this has been a great choice.

Great product!
Color: White
I have now purchased two of these (I lost the first one) and they are absolutely a worthwhile purchase. Nicely packaged, easy set up, works great! Battery life is great and the pencil charged fairly quickly as well. Size of the pencil is wonderful, easy to hold and grip. Quality is great as well. 5 stars from me, hopefully I don’t lose this one! 🤣

Works amazingly as intended, good value
Color: White, Color: White
Writes perfectly on my ipad. Worked immediately on my Bluetooth, didn’t have to connect. Holds charge very well from what I can tell. I finished a 10 hour long drawing process without it dying. I’ll update if anything changes. Comes with extra nibs.
