How to Negotiate Like a Child: Unleash the Little Monster Within to Get Everything You Want

5 reviews
Bill Adler

AMACOM, 2005

Cute and Useful
When I picked up this book, I wasn't sure just what I had in my hands. The size is smaller than the typical 6X9" business book. At 7.5X6", it's like one of those impulse items at the cash register. The picture of the mean-looking kid on the cover, with a subtitle about unleashing the little monster within you made me wonder if this book would be sarcastic, a parody, or a satire. What I ...

Squirrels: More Dangerous Than Nuclear Weapons
After the squirrels took over my backyard, car, and washroom, I bought this book to figure out how to take back the mean streets from these evil rodents. Unluckily for me, however, they noticed it when they were reading my mail and now they're after me... I had to move to an unknown Eastern European country just to escape them. Hopefully they won't figure out the combination to my wall safe back ...

The Oyster: Volumes V and VI (Blue Moon)
Bill Adler

Running Press, 2006

The Oyster was a journal published in Victorian England that celebrated, rather than vilified, the pleasures of the flesh. Displaying a delightfully uninhibited and erotic style, its author was forced to remain anonymous in order to avoid persecution. Copies of the journal were privately distributed, passed on like secrets from one parlor room to the next. The series was largely forgotten until an obscure edition was rediscovered in the ...

Education of a Maiden

Running Press, 2002

A great erotica book but ....
For the life of me I do not understand where Blue Moon got the title since this book has NOTHING to do with the education of a maiden but is rather the coming of age story of young Charlie Roberts.... What is even more disturbing is that this book is a 250 page, two chapter version of the much larger 'Romance of Lust' ..... so .... if you are an avid reader I am sure that you have already paid ...

Harper Paperbacks, 1995

ORIGINAL VOICES
What is it like to grow up as a stranger in your own land? Of all of the emigrant groups which came to the "New World", those who were already here experienced their country being conquered and their way of life almost destroyed. All to often their stories were dismissed, forgotten or seen as exotic curiosities for the anthropologists. Riley's collection of 22 Native American writers gives ...

"Satan,get thee behind me!"
If you're anything like me,you've been fighting clutter all your adult life.Reading about how to control clutter to me is like reading recipes is to my wife.After all this reading we'll look at each other and say,"Let's go to the Mall,and then out to eat."Although newspapers and magazines are continually carrying articles about clutter,they're as common as those on energy conservation.The best ...

The Eloquent Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis: A Portrait in Her Own Words (With a One-Hour DVD Insert from A&E ...

William Morrow, 2004

A charming book about a grand lady
Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy was without a doubt one of America?s most admired first ladies and that is the major theme of this book. Although the book - a collection of quotes taken from a variety of sources, mostly interviews given by Mrs. Kennedy - spans her lifetime, a good portion is devoted to Jackie?s roles as the young wife of Senator John F. Kennedy and as the Nation?s First Lady. ...

Fireside, 1994

I didn't want to buy this book
but I had to do something, my neighbors are so noisy... This book was really interesting and covered many problem areas, and there were stories about people with neighbor problems that sounded worse than mine! The focus was both on the problems and solutions, and many of the solutions were very good and also creative. I would highly recommend this book for anyone with neighbors.

The Oyster, Volumes 3 and 4 (Blue Moon)

Running Press, 2006

Blue Moon Books proudly reissues the classic Victorian erotica series that has sold collectively over one-half million copies. "The Oyster" was a journal published in Victorian England that celebrated, rather than vilified, the pleasures of the flesh. Displaying a totally uninhibited and delightfully erotic style, it had to be written anonymously and privately distributed. The journal was largely forgotten until an obscure edition was ...

The New Story of O

6 reviews
Bill Adler

Running Press, 1998

Elegant writing style but lacking quite a bit...
This book is really a very odd mix of frank erotica in an almost prim and proper stylized world. ( Frankly, the writing style almost feels a bit prim and proper which is a big contrast to the subject matter.) I read this book thinking it was the original, not the *new* one... It's an odd mish-mash of a story surrounding the personal destruction of a man, his familY...several others. Although ...

Our parents' generation will never be matched
It seems only yesterday, that I found those letters, airmail and v-mail in mom's desk. Then I saw the call for letters and submitted one, with photo. As I read my dad's letter and those of his peers and "enemies" I wonder how they did it and came home and became more normal than we seem to be. Bless them all. Read and enjoy all the love and caring these men and women had for family and country

Time Machines: The Best Time Travel Stories Ever Written

4 reviews

Running Press, 2002

Good, eclectic, fun collection of time travel tales
This is what a theme-based anthology should be! The title is slightly misleading since not all of the tales involve time "machines" although all are tales of traveling through time in one way or another. Some fine authors are represented in the 22 stories here: Edgar Allen Poe and Rudyard Kipling, John W. Campbell and Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury and Rod Serling, Connie Willis and Larry Niven, Jack ...

This book got rid of my deer
I have read dozens of books on how to get rid of deer from your garden and found this one the most helpful and pleasurable to read. The author's sense of humor helps what would otherwise be a dry, boring subject. I found myself laughing and saying aloud, "Yes, he understands!" Adler knows what a tremendous problem the overpopulation of deer has become in America, and he has gone to the best ...

Letters from Vietnam

Presidio Press, 2004

More engrossing than I expected
I started reading this because because I wanted a book that I could put down - as opposed to something that would keep me reading half the night to find out how things would end. But I became thoroughly engrossed in this book, and couldn't put it down after all. My only complaint about the book is its organization. It is organized according to whether the letter writer is writing home about ...

Harper Perennial, 1995

SILENT MINORITY
In this world of multi-culturalism one group's voice is seldom heard and their contributions to America have not been acknowledged. Growing Up Asian American by Maria Hong gives a voice to this "silent minority" whose presence on the American scene has been virtually ignored. Growing up Asian-American tells their story through a collection of fiction and non-fiction pieces. ...

Makes you feel like Martha is speaking directly with you
A long time ago, I remember liking THE KENNEDY WIT--edited by Bill Adler . . . he then came out with several books of a similar nature, including THE UNCOMMON WISDOM OF JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS and THE QUOTABLE GUILIANI . . . in all of these, he collected memorable quotes and comments (by others) about the personality involved and put them into a short, but insightful book that gave me ...

It's Great
It's great that people are finally listening to the kids point of views. Its the kids who made this series popular in the first place and then it spread to the parents and to other adults. Without these loyal fans, this series would not have been so popular and its about time that they get some credit for it.

Slaves of the Hypnotist (Blue Moon)

Running Press, 2001

Delicious masterpiece for readers of Victorian erotic lit
One of Blue Moons' better works first published (supposedly) in 1882 by 'Anonymous'. I noted that the pages have the name 'Davina' on top of each printed page leading me to believe that this book has been renamed, and, probably was published under the name of 'Davina' previously. In this book we find the story of a young English lad, 15ish year old, Harry, who recounts his life experience and ...
