Bt Bound, 1999

An upbeat, educational book
This is an excellent book with elements that will grab a child's interest--a loving dog and a fireman's life. The story is told using photos of actual activities at a fire station and the Dalmatian they keep as a pet. The photos give a vivid account of a fireman's lifestyle. It first explains the equipment they use then it shows some of their activities when not at a fire. I particularly liked ...

Ten Speed Press, 2005

Making a film for less!
I am a writer, indie film director and an artist so this book was a joy to read and fun to look at. Ms. Richards has given the reader so much to learn from and information that isn't common knowledge. If you are thinking about making your first film and don't know how to do it - buy this book!

A superb resource for any parent with children who play sports

New Epoch Press, 2001

Not Free SF Reader
Again, the second issue of Black Gate has a whole pile of stuff. This includes perhaps the best magazine article I can remember seeing, where Rich Horton takes a look at interesting or important anthologies in the fantasy genre, and fantasy short fiction in general in a historical overview. This is peppered throughout with pictures of book covers, and magazines, and is overall really ...

Atheneum, 2001

Wonderful Book
"How Hungry Are You?" is a wonderful children's book. As a mother, I don't mind reading the book over and over again to my three young children. We enjoy the illustrator's colorful pages and find her method of character identification easy to read. The authors found a fun way to teach children about friendship and math. I strongly recommend this book!

Wonderful book!
We are in the process of adopting a baby from China, and this book just made my heart break. The images are so beautiful, and the children are so precious! In my mind, they seem to be simply be waiting... We can't wait to give one of them a home.

This book is a great book to use with a unit on fall.

Saltwater Specialties, 1997

The Kingfish Bible delivers!
At just over 100 information-packed pages, Capt. Joe Richard's "The Kingfish Bible" is a fisherman's one-stop resource for tips on how to catch that brawny king of the mackerel family. The book's 14 chapters outline everything from the author's conversion from a snapper hound who disregarded kings as a mere "trash fish" to one who would eventually cherish the fish as a resource and preach the ...

Sherwood Anderson

Caedmon, 2002

An honest depiction of the emptiness of humanity
Often credited as an inspiration by the renowned literati of the 20th century, Sherwood Anderson exhibited his subtle fineness and simple genius when he penned `Winesburg, Ohio' in 1919. Told as a collection of short stories, the `grotesque' inhabitants of the secluded town of Winesburg begin to relate to a young reporter, George Willard, and open up from the confinements of their society, ...

Little Brown and Company, 2000

WOW
I received this book as a gift and was astonished by how great it actually is. It has so many wonderful pictures from the past 100 years and I feel that they explain every picture well enough so you can understand how in that time things were. I would suggest this to not just young people but to everyone so they can too learn more about the last century.

Knopf, 1998

Great Book
If I could only take one field guide with me on my California hikes, this would be it. It covers a very wide range of subjects with color pictures and a concise entry. The cover is tough enough to stand up to heavy use on the trail. Highly recommended.

Best book on diabetes treatment and care.
In the 9 months since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, I've read numerous books, countless articles in magazines, tens of websites and blogs and gotten a great deal of information from doctors, dietitians, and various diabetes educators, but this is far and away the most positive, hopeful and most importantly best read of any of the books. When one is diagnosed with a chronic disease, ...
