William Jones

Morgan Kaufmann, 2007

Ahh now I get it
I'm a college dropout(Information Studies), now working in IT as a Systems Admin at a fair sized hotel. When I left college to pursue other at that time more interesting things. I couldn't really see the big picture in why we had to learn what they wanted us to. Now I do, thanks to this book. I keep feeling inspired about the management of my information. Both as PIM in my own department, but ...

Chaosium Inc., 2006

SOLID LOVECRAFTIAN STORIES
Almost 70 years after his death, H.P.Lovecraft continues to cast a giant shadow over the horror genre with new books, films, and comics coming out every year that are inspired by his works. Chaosium is best known as the published of the outstanding "Call of Cthulhu" role-playing game but they also put out some great Lovecraftian fiction as well and their latest offering features 17 stories set ... 		  
  







  
  
Euripides IV: Rhesus, The Suppliant Women, Orestes, Iphigenia in Aulis (The Complete Greek Tragedies)1 review
Euripides

University Of Chicago Press, 1968

another rare play
This fourth book in the Euripides series gives the reader another fairly rare play: Rhesus. Readable translation that is easily affordable with good general introductions. A bit too conservative in translation at points. 		  
  







  
  
High Seas Cthulhu: Swashbuckling Adventure Meets the Mythos3 reviews

Elder Signs Press, 2007

Yet another Lovecraftian triumph from Elder Signs Press
High Seas Cthulhu, full of mythos stories nautical and piratical, is the latest offering from Elder Signs Press. Right now this company is the hottest thing around in the US for fans of Cthulhu mythos fiction. They are more prolific than either Hippocampus Press, Chaosium or Mythos Books. In the UK, the best thing going is Rainfall Books. Thank goodness for the modern era and the web, so fans ... 		  
  







  
  
2008 Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue: Countries of the World J-o (Scott Standard Postage Stamp ...1 review

Scott Publishing Company/Amos Hobby Publishing Co, 2007

Good basic catalogue
Good basic catalogue for any stamp collector. However, valuations of many stamps currently on the low side. I also feel that Scott's traditional method of listing countries in their catalogues in alphabetical order is somewhat outdated. I wonder if there is any philatelist in existence who collects world countries in alphabetical order. That said, catalogue is easy to read and contains a ...

An Incomplete Education, 3,684 Things You Should Have Learned But probably Didn't90 reviews
Judy Jones, William Wilson

Ballantine Books, 2006

An Incomplete Education
I've seen this book in numerous catalogs and knew that my 15 year old daughter would love it. In the catalogs it was around $35 + shipping. I found it here at a much lower price; the book arrived promptly; and it was in excellant condition. I come here first for any of my online shopping needs. Great job guys!

Frontier Cthulhu: Ancient Horrors in the New World (Call of Cthulhu Fiction)4 reviews

Chaosium, 2007

Ancient evil in a new land
Frontier Cthulhu is a rousing trade paperback of all new mythos stories from Chaosium, published in late 2007. I am so happy about this avalanche of new mythos fiction from Elder Signs Press, Chaosium, Mythos Books and Hippocampus in the US, and Rainfall Books in the UK. Every few months us fans have some new book to gloat over; on the horizon are a Nyarlathotep anthology from Elder Signs Press, ... 		  
  







  
  
The Strange Cases of Rudolph Pearson: Horripilating Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos (Call of Cthulhu Fiction)1 review
William Jones

Chaosium, 2008

Horripilating indeed! More please, Mr. Jones.
The Strange Cases of Rudolph Pearson by William Jones is a trade paperback published by Chaosium. List price is $14.95; currently is not available directly from Amazon. Cover art is by Steven Gilberts, who gave us the covers of Frontier Cthulhu (my favorite of his works) and Arkham Tales (which I also liked better than this). A vile multi-tentacled thing with weirdly segmented legs is trying to ...

WOW!!!!!!! COLOR!!!!
Any one who has ever thought of collecting stamps in the US, is familiar with the Scott stamp catalogs, the backbone of the collectors world.

Horrors Beyond 2: Stories of Strange Creations1 review
William Jones

Elder Signs Press, 2007

Wonderful! A resounding success from Elder Signs Press!
Horrors Beyond II is the latest offering by Elder Signs Press. This enterprising publisher has gone from strength to strength with every new book. HB2 is subtitled Stories of Strange Creations; the idea was to compile and anthology of dark fiction centered around devices. When I first heard that this title was on the drawing board I immediately thought about Kafka's The Penal Colony. While ... 		  
  







  
  
Christ in the Camp - Religion in Lee's Army7 reviews
J William Jones

Diggory Press, 2006

Light in the darkness
This book came to be recommended by a pastor whose great-grandfather had been in the Union Army during the Civil War. I found the work very interesting, on several scores. One..it was fascinating to read the way in which people wrote in the days of the war. It may be unfair but seemingly safe to assume that most people in those days were illiterate and unable to write/read.. yet the accounts ... 		  
  







  
  
Scott 2008 Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue: Countries of the World So-Z (Scott Standard Postage Stamp ...1 review

Scott Publishing Company/Amos Hobby Publishing Co, 2007

The best reference catalog for stamp collectors
When you are collecting stamps you need the best reference catalog available, and this is the one, almost every store and auction uses it not only as a price reference but also as a clasification guide. My only concern is why this volume is cheaper than the other five. 		  
  







  
  
Secrets Of New York: A Mythos Guide to the City That Never Sleeps (Call of Cthulhu Horror Roleplaying)1 review
William Jones

Chaosium Inc., 2005

What I wanted...
First off, I enjoyed reading this book. The history of the city tinged with Mythos lore made for a fun evening diversion. My practical use for the book in the game was more indirect, however. I was running the players through "Look to the Future" in Shadows of Yog-Sothoth (which takes place in New York). I found this book to be extremely helpful in setting the mood for that chapter of the ...

Scott Publishing Company, 2008

NEW 2009 SCOTT SPECIALISED CATALOGUE
The Scott specialised catalogue of United States stamps is a bible in two ways: because it is the only current catalogue of its kind and because of its wealth of information. As it has become a reference book one would have expected that rather than rest on the laurels of a monopoly position the editors would have improved the layout, the design, the consistency in presentation and corrected ...

And sometimes they are weapons of war. In a new century, humanity confronts disasters and cataclysms, fighting, hoping to survive an ever looming apocalypse. From global corporations to private militaries to secret societies, the struggles are ceaseless, the end ...
