Obama - The Postmodern Coup 38 reviews
Webster Griffin Tarpley
Progressive Press, 2008
Great Expose on a Charlatan and Fraud.
When Obama first ran for president I was a bit excited. Being a libertarian I hoped he would actually end the disastrous war in Iraq but when I did some sniffing around and research I found out it was all talk. Something troubled me, I didn't like the almost brainwashed mentality of his supporters, nor did I like his plans for a Stassi like agency in the US, coupled with his dealings with a noted ...

Merriam-Webster, 2003
The Best on the Market
Nobody puts out a better dictionary than Merriam-Webster. The Collegiate is my pick because one of my hobbies is the Over-50 Spelling Bee, and this dictionary is the reference source for that competition. The Elementary edition is what I use in my classroom. The Unabridged is what I subscribe to on the Web. I wouldn't buy any other company's dictionary because this book and its publisher can ...

Merriam-Webster, 2004
Great little dictionary
I wanted a dictionary that would be a great size to have by my side while I read books, in case I need to look up a word. This dictionary fits the bill perfectly. About the size of a mass market paperback, this dictionary is easy to hold and look through, compared to a larger, more unwieldy dictionary. I have only had a word or two that I could not find in it so far...and there are many other ...

It pays to buy the 'real thing' and not paperbacks
and school district and college 'throw aways' whose
versions of the English langage were okay fifty years
ago but, not now? Amazon has it for more than a affordable
price and the finished product will last till you've forgotten

Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography 3 reviews
Webster Griffin Tarpley
Progressive Press, 2008
Exposing Obama's Shadow Show
Judging a book by its cover might be a good start in this review of Webster G. Tarpley's book Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography. The fine cartoon by Tarpley & Azar is no mere metaphor, for it correctly depicts the fact that the `chosen one', Obama, has successfully destroyed the essence of the Democratic Party towards the people of this country as exemplified by the mission of FDR and ...

Webster's Spanish-English Dictionary for Students4 reviews
Federal Street Press, 2003
My go-to book for Spanish definitions and translation
I have 5 or 6 Spanish dictionaries and this has become #1. It has the most words for everyday usage and it is easy to tote around. I was tired of not finding the word I was looking for in the other dictionaries, and that's how this one became my favorite (it usually had the word I was looking for).
Just for kicks, if anyone wants the most heavy-duty Spanish dictionary try Harper Collins ...

Easy terms to master
Im just another guy who bought this for the game. I use these techniques not only to impress but to weed out the ones that arent worth getting in your life. This book explains all you need to know in juvenile, easy to understand, terms. Trust me, whether you follow DeAngelo, Mystery, Gunwitch, or even Jeffries, you'll appreciate what you will learn in this book and the more you practice(sarge), ...

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms (Dictionary)11 reviews
Merriam-Webster, 1994
Handy Book for Vocabulary Reference
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms is an interesting research - and I dare to say: entertaining - resource. Because, contrary to what some might think, this is not a thesaurus, but a book which groups words of similar meanings into a topic and explains in a very didactic way and with examples what distinguishes in nuance one from each other so you can use the most appropriate ...

Lost in Austen: Create Your Own Jane Austen Adventure14 reviews
Emma Campbell Webster
Riverhead Trade, 2007
Great diversion!
I ordered this book because I wanted to get free shipping, and I was missing a couple dollars. To my surprise and delight, this turned out to be a very fun read! The diversions from the main plot are very ingenious, and you'll recognize many of Jane Austen's works. Totally worth getting.

Merriam-Webster's Pocket Spanish-English Dictionary (Pocket Reference Library)6 reviews

Merriam-Webster, 2002
Very good for my purposes
I am astounded at the review that is listed below me. Talk about nit-picking!
This is the only pocket dictionary that is sturdy enough to carry around in your pocket without falling apart in days. The Oxford dictionary is held together with cheap glue. This is just fine for my purposes. If I need to look up an obscure word I just wait until I get home to my bigger dictionary.

Wonderful Visual Resource
Our son found this dictionary and purchased it himself. As a deaf student, he has poured over the pages with delight. It is a wonderful reference for those with language problems, learning disabilities, and the curious in general. We were so impressed we donated 25 copies to our son's school for classroom use. The students and teachers have loved it!
