Meals to Die For

Something to think about
The basic format is to list what the person was convicted of, the last meal request, what was actually served (not always the same thing), and finally the inmate's last words. The first part of this book contains some commentary by the author on the more interesting or at least higher profile cases. He then sticks to the basic format, although that by itself it is very interesting. I did ...
Armour from the Battle of Wisby

It works!
I've made armor using the diagrams of existing armor types from this book. I didn't much care for some of the strapping arrangements described, so I designed my own. (Hey, this is the armor the regular fighters left behind - Wisby was defended by the teens and the oldsters to judge from the age of the bodies. This suggests the men of prime fighting-age were elsewhere, with their primary armor.) ...

The Ancient and Noble Art of Editing
The quality of the editing is horrid. There are numerous spelling errors, repeated lines, and several places where entire words seem to have been dropped. There are two pages near the end which are double printed, slightly out of phase, making it very hard to read. Nearly every book I have from Chivalry Bookshelf has had physical flaws [folded pages, torn pages, the plastic coating on the ...

A great book
Whether you're a medievalist, historian, martial artist, or an escapist role player who pretends that you're a knight, this book will teach you what REAL chivalry was. Anyone interested in european martial history, or in becoming a better person should read this. My thanks to mr. Price for making it available once again.

Beautifully written bedtime story
This is a wonderfully imaginative and calm book which makes it perfect for bedtime, yet is interesting enough to hold their attention. It's characters are realistic enough for a child to relate to. It's illustrations are simple, uncluttered and support the tone of the storyline. A book to keep for years for children of all ages to enjoy.

A MUST FOR ALL WHO WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE
Drawn from the hearts, minds, and guts of those who served, this book tells it like it really happened to the individual soldier in-country. Even more telling is the life of the soldier after he came home--what happened with his friends, family, and his own personal life. This book is not only for and about the veteran, but for any one who lived through the WAR in Vietnam. The reader will find ...

Also known as the Derleth Cycle
If you are reading this right now, you owe August Derleth a debt of gratitude. That is, if you enjoy Lovecraftian fiction, it is probably due to Derleth's efforts to keep it in print and widely read. This is certainly an inestimable service and one for which I appreciate him greatly. His writing is another matter entirely. This collection starts off with one of the best weird stories ...

Where Brian Muirhead when you need him?
What an incredible book! Brian Muirhead's story of developing, launching, and landing the successful Mars Pathfinder Mission is an incredible story of vision, hard work, attention to detail, and because of it all, success. The professionalism exhibited by Brian and his team continue to inspire me months after I read the book. In the current days of failed missions to Mars, I can't help ...

A great new tale not of the fairy kind, but Faith.
Mrs. Capps-Burgess, the daughter of famed Arkansan Bible Teacher and farmer Charles Capps, does an extrodinary job of transplacing the traditional Fairy tales into Faith tales. A former reviewer has sent back her copy and declared that she, the reader, is religious. Herein lies the reason she misunderstands Mrs. Burgess. Mrs. Burgess is not religious, but rather maintains a relationship with ...

Best security infrastructure book I've read
This is the best book about the security infrastructure of Microsoft .NET Framework that I have ever read. This book has brought me the overall picture of the .NET security system: How does the system work and interact with the existing security system on Win NT platform? In addition, the book is clearly written, well- organized, and full of in-depth information. Overall, I consider this is an ...

Huzzah!
I am a proud owner of this book and read it often. It's a fascinating read even for those who might not be involved in SCA or other historical reenactment, but who might want to learn more about the Code of Chivalry and what honour really means. I myself try to live up to the Code as described inside - and I often fail miserably. I have a greater appreciation for those in the SCA who live by ...
