The Essential Ronald Reagan: A Profile in Courage Justice & Wisdom

Lee Edwards

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2005

Absolutely Essential
This book is essential for anyone wanting to learn about Ronald Reagan--especially those who are reading about him for the first time. It is a favorable treatment of the man and his legacy, and portrays him just as he was, humorous and yet serious in regards to the things that were important. Essential? Absolutely.

Scott, Foresman, 1968

this is a great dictionary
I bought this for my 9 year old daughter. She actually enjoys using it. It has a few pictures, but also has a lot of entries in it. I like using it myself. The definitions are easy to understand. I have two younger children so I think this dictionary will get a lot of use.

I like Kendra Kandlestar so much
I liked it so much that I finished it in like two days! For the second book I finished it in like three days. One thing I got to tell you is that I usually take like a week or so to finish a book.

Barbour Publishing, Incorporated, 2000

Debby Mayne's "Sunshine Harvest"
Debby Mayne's "Sunshine Harvest" stands out in this anthology with a tale of deeply inspirational romance. She has painted a colorful backdrop with the citrus groves, migrant workers and tropical Florida locale. Her heroine takes us through a gamut of emotions after her father dies and she must summon the strength to hold his dream together while dealing with his loss. But what I liked best ...

Necro Publications, 2008

Classic Edward Lee
This is actually one of Lee's best books, and it is supposed to be reprinted in hardcover by Necro Press very soon. It's a shame this one is so hard to find when "Messenger" and "Monstrosity" are still in print. In this one Philip Straker (Lee's pen name for his first two novels) is a down and out cop (the best kind) who leaves the big city to go to a small town police department. He is ...

Brown Books Publishing Group, 2006

A STORY TO REMIND US THAT DREAMS CAN COME TRUE
Martha Ann's story is not only an inspiration to all, it is also a true story. A story reminding us that with determination, hard work, and confidence even the most seemingly impossible dreams can come true. Born about 1817 in eastern Tennessee, Martha Ann Ricks was a slave. Her father was a traveling preacher who learned about the American Colonization Society, an organization that ...

Inside The Works

Necro Publications, 1997

Keep this on a shelf away from children!
Two side effects from reading "Inside the Works" are blindness, resulting from the weird font, and nausea, resulting from horror so hardcore that you want to wash your hands after putting the book down. Edward Lee along with Tom Piccirilli and Gerard Daniel Houarner, are the writers featured in this "3-way collection of hard core horror". All three have a kind of genius for writing almost ...

I'll Follow the Moon
I stumbled across this book quite by accident, and I found it to be a treasure. The verse is lovely and calm, as are the illustrations. It also depicts fairly accurately a remarkable natural phenomenon. As a new mom who longed for a child for many years and eventually adopted internationally, I found the symbolism achingly beautiful. I have since given the book to several friends who have ...

I think this book was written for me!
I love this book! It's about time someone really noticed the magic of vanilla, the #1 flavor of a truly adventurous personality. Make Mine Vanilla is packed with many excellent recipes for my favorite indulgences. Chocolate lovers, bah humbug to your bitter beans!

Bedlam Press, 2006

Get This One If You Can
This is one of my favorite Edward Lee books. I wish someone would reprint it, as the Cemetery Dance version sold out long ago and it is almost impossible to find. This and "The Stickmen" are Lee's only real ventures into SF, and this one was the best. An alien aircraft is discovered and a pilot is called upon to have his hands modified into three fingers to steer the craft. He has to ...

Entertainment for the easily amused
I thought it a lot of fun and totally entertaining. Rob Zombie is one of my favorites though so I may be prejudiced, but I thought this was definitely worth buying.

Sex, Drugs & Power Tools

SD&PT by Ed Lee
It's a shame the world is full of too many prudes who can't appreciate a good story involving sex, drugs, and power tools, because Ed Lee is in top form here. This book combines two of Lee's better known novellas from years gone by with a brand new story to make one of the newest additions to my top five favorite of all time list. First is "Header". I'd heard for years about this Lee story called ...

A Separate Cinema: Fifty Years of Black-Cast Posters

John Kisch, Edward Mapp

Noonday Pr, 1992

A Separate Cinema - A Must!
The images of Black in the history of American cinema is in constant need of exploration. Too often what we are presented with are images and visions created by movie moguls and mavens that bear little resemblence to the rich vitality of Black life and culture in America. Mammies. Coons, and Sambos are omnipresent in most studies, adding a buffoonish, yet toxically inaccurate picture ...

Better With Buttermilk: The Secret Ingredient in Old-Fashioned Cooking

Lee Edwards Benning

Diane Pub Co, 1996

Interesting and Delicious
This is a wonderful cookbook. For those of us who thought buttermilk was just a tangy milk product full of fat, THINK AGAIN. In reality it is better for you than regular milk and has less fat. It makes recipes tastier and better for you too. This book starts out with the history of buttermilk and takes us in to why it is so good for us. Very interesting reading. The author gives us ideas in ...

Dark carnival stories probe the limits of humanity
It's difficult to easily categorize these dark works of fantasy: they are short stories written by such notables as Ray Bradbury, Michael Bishop, Nina Kiriki Hoffman and others, blending literature and art and all based on the strange kinetic sculpture Crowded After Hours by Lisa Snellings. Dark carnival stories probe the limits of humanity.

Jameson Books, 1997

The best guide to understanding The Heritage Foundation.
Lee Edward's "The Power of Ideas: The Heritage Foundation at 25 Years" is the definitive book to read if one wishes to understand the rise of conservative ideas in America. The Heritage Foundation helped, by embodying the principles of Lincoln, Roosevelt (Theodore), Nixon, and Reagan. Their work in shaping United States domestic and foreign policy is impressive. Lee Edward's book will inspire ...

Sleep Disorder

Jack Ketchum, Edward Lee

Gauntlet Press, 2003

Can't Sleep...Can't Sleep...Can't Sleep.......
Sleep disorder is a rare book that is truly worth the cost of finding, if you are a fan of Ketchum and Lee. There are seven stories in all, 5 stories, plus 2 more that are the original first drafts of ?Sleep Disorder? and ?I?d Give Anything for You.? Whenever you put Edward Lee and Jack Ketchum together, it spells horror in a highly entertaining and gruesome way. Fantastic collection, don?t ...
