The Insider's Guide to San Miguel6 reviews
Archie Dean

A. Dean, 1995

the Insiders Guide to San Miguel
Well written, well organized and several people I know who live in Sam Miguel think it is the best of the guides. So far I agree.
  
  











  



  
A Birthday for Frances11 reviews
Russell Hoban

Scholastic Inc., 1972

A wonderfully whimsical read, hilarious sub-text, great for kids
This is a wonderful story, I love Hoban's books as they work well on both the adult and the child levels. This is bascially the story of Frances, a badger who is struggling with the fact that her little sister Gloria is having a birthday. Frances does not say it out loud, but rather through her actions and her little rhymes we realise that she is unhappy about it, that her sister seems to have ...
  
  











  



  
Gift of Power: The Life and Teachings of a Lakota Medicine Man6 reviews
Chief Archie Fire Lame Deer, Richard Erdoes

Bear & Company, 1992

The "Indian" in our US culture's background
If you like me, before I read this book, are naive to what true American Indian culture is all about (or maybe you won't realize how naive you are until you read the book), then this biography of Archie Fire Lame Deer, a Lakota Indian is definitely an excellent crash course to bring you up to date! Much of American Indian culture, especially their religion and intense beliefs about people, ...
  
  











  



  
Some Buried Caesar (Unabridged)15 reviews
Rex Stout

audible.com

Nero Wolfe in a pasture, just perfect.
This is a great example of why this series is so enjoyable. Nero Wolfe proven right about automobiles, Wolfe trapped in a pasture by a bull, (Threatened by food, how appropriate.) Archie meets the one woman who sticks around (Lily Rowan) and a mystery that only gets solved with one of Wolfe's outrageous, but plausible (well, almost plausible) schemes. All the usual pleasures are just a bit better ...
  
  











  



  
Fly In The Buttermilk: Memoirs of an African American in Advertising, Design & Design Education.6 reviews
Archie Boston

Archie Boston Graphic Design, 2001

you haven't bought this book yet?
When my book arrived, I had the intent of reading just a few pages, I had to force myself to put it down over halfway through just so I could get some work done. I easily finished it in the first available moment I had. This book will take you on a journey through the life of Old Skool Archie Boston, and the moments that shaped his career and work. Also included is his ... portfolio that puts ...

Naturally, Wolfe must do this while staying firmly ensconsed in his Manhatten brownstone, while Archie Goodwin does his legwork.

The Rough7 reviews
Archie Bouvier Washington

The Writer's Corner, 2002

A Fascinating read
This book is very educational on the Gay Homeless Underground Society. It was fascinating to me & I finished the book voraciously.
  
  











  



  
Bertie Wooster Sees It Through10 reviews, 2008

Idyllic Wodehouse
As Evelyn Waugh points out, Wodehouse's world is idyllic. It is not our world. It has a different set of rules, for instance, the fate of its characters are determined by silver cow creamers and French cooks. Call it absurd or trivial, and you would be right. If you are tired of "serious" literature and the "real" world, this is a wonderful place to escape to! Typical of the Jeeves and Wooster ...
  
  











  



  
Over My Dead Body (Unabridged)10 reviews
Rex Stout

audible.com

Classic Nero Wolfe
Having read just about all of the Nero Wolfe series, I have to say, this one contains all of the elements that make Rex Stout's detective novels wildly entertaining, without most of the elements that make some of them maddening In this mystery, the utterly unswashbuckling Wolfe is revealed, in his younger, svelter days, to have been quite a romantic. Not only did he fight on the anti-Imperial ...
  
  











  



  
Best Of Josie & The Pussycats4 reviews
Various

Archie Comics, 2001

Best of
This is a nice collectors item that no doubt will be worth something someday. It's a collection of the "best" Josie and the Pussycat stories that have appeared in Archie Comics over the years. It features the very first story with Josie, Melody, Alexander, Cabot, Pepper and Albert titled "A Gym Dandy" from the comic "She's Josie" #12, February 1963. They also have little samples from when Alan M. ...
  
  











  



  
Three Witnesses5 reviews
Rex Stout

bantam Books, 1981

Three Tales of Death and Deduction
Nero Wolfe may be enjoyed through the media of print, audio, and video--in print courtesy of Bantam Books; on audio courtesy of Durkin Hayes, Radio Spirits, and Books on Tape; and on video courtesy of A&E Network. It's hard to say which way gives the most pleasure. As much as I like the A&E shows, and as much as I like Durkin Hayes' editions of the CBC radio shows, I think the best way to enjoy ...
  
  











  



  
Spring Fever4 reviews, 2008

A true Wodehouse
Written in P.G.W's inimitable style, Spring Fever has as its principle characters a young man who looks like a greek god and has brains too ( Note: Brains preferring to ignore gentlemen with drop-dead-handsome good looks), a girl with equally good looks but not so sharp a brain, another young man with neither the looks mentioned above nor the brains, also mentioned above, and a Lord, given to ...
  
  











  



  
Showcase Presents: Unknown Soldier, Vol. 14 reviews
Joe Kubert, Bob Haney, ...

DC Comics, 2006

Classic DC war comic
The war, horror and Western were genre staples of the DC Universe, as much as it was to the Marvel Universe..until DC Crisis and Marvel's Secret Wars. These titles died a small death, due to the growthg of superheroes. DC, in its WAR genre hayday, Sgt. Rock and his Easy Company (now in a color archieve book edition and a graphic novel "Between A Rock & A hard Place"), The Haunted Tank (also ...
  
  











  



  
Love and Addiction4 reviews
Stanton Peele, Archie Brodsky

Signet, 1976

A disturbing, provocative, and archtypal self help book
I had the luck of finding this presently out of print book in a used book and clothing store in the mid-West. Peele's LOVE AND ADDICTION is about the most concise, eye-opening and, in light of how the problems he documents in American society have only been geometrically exacerbated in the twenty-five years since it was published (now inlcuding an addiction to guns), the most disturbing of ...
  
  











  



  
Archie's Way: A Memoir of Friendship and Craftsmanship5 reviews
Richard Ezra Probert

The Lyons Press, 1998

A rewarding glimpse into the mind of an engaging character.
Some of us are lucky enough to find a true mentor in our lives, someone who opens our eyes to a special world, and in so doing, gives us a glimpse of ourselves. Such a person is Archie Raasch, the subject of Richard Probert's book Archie's Way. A man of few words and many talents, Archie is an unforgettable character whose down-to-earth wisdom is vanishing from our hurried world. Archie's ...
  
  











  



  
Chinese Through Poetry4 reviews
Archie Barnes

WritersPrintshop, 2007

This book is a gift to Chinese learners and lovers of poetry
I have dozens of books on Chinese and Chinese poetry, but this is one of the best. Archie Barnes was a true teacher, and this book is a gift to those of us who want to learn both Chinese and Chinese poetry. "Chinese through Poetry" is so good I went to the Monterey Language Institute to study Chinese so I could get more out of this book. Even if you haven't had the good fortune to study ...
  
  











  



  
Born Free and Equal: The Story of Loyal Japanese Americans5 reviews
Ansel Adams

Spotted Dog Press, 2002

A fascinating look at this historical tragedy
In the autumn of 1943, the eminently talented photographer Ansel Adams traveled to the Relocation Center at Manzanar, California. This was one of the camps where the United States government relocated (some would say "imprisoned") the many people of Japanese descent who lived in the western, Military Zone 1, so that they could not assist Imperial Japan in its war against the United States. Among ...
  
  











  



  
Archie His First 50 Years5 reviews
C. Phillips

Porchlight Publishing, 1920

Archie Rules!
Okay, I've been collecting Archie comics since I was like 8 or 9 (5-6 years) and I've got to say that I LOVE THESE COMICS! I have about 500 digests and about 100 flat comics. They aren't you normal "superhero" comics or your Garfield type comics that are only a strip long. These stories run about 4-7 pages long each (there are a lot of stories in a digest comic, even more in a double-digest), ...
