Beautiful Joe (Library of Congress Centennial Bestseller Series)

45 reviews
Marshall Saunders

Applewood Books, 1994

A Timeless Tale of a Canine Black Beauty
I first read this story as a Whitman abridged edition when I was about eight years old. It was hard for me to believe that some people were so cruel to animals, but I loved the book's old-fashioned narration and of the adventures of and lessons learned by Miss Laura and her family in raising Joe. The moment I learned what the word "abridged" meant, I went looking for the complete story; it took ...

Richard Scarry's Busy Busy World (Golden Bestsellers Series)

Richard Scarry

Goldencraft, 1970

My gift to my granddaughter
I have an original copy of this book, which my children, esp. the youngest, LOVED. His daughter is turning one year old and they've asked everyone to pick out a favorite book for a gift (as they are inundated w/more clothes, toys, etc. than they will ever need). His wife asked him if he had a favorite book as a child, and this was it! Despite it's being read SO many times, it's in really good ...

Great Escape (G.K. Hall large print perennial bestseller collection)

53 reviews
Paul Brickhill

G K Hall & Co, 1996

Outstanding.
It's a shame the publisher decided to put a picture on the cover of Steve McQueen wrapped up in the barbed wire at the end of his big motorcycle escape attempt. Because, you see, that never happened in the TRUE story of the Great Escape contained in this book. The movie (while good) took serious dramatic license, while Brickhill's book presents the facts. And they are quite inspiring and ...

I'm crying already
I am moved by what I've read so far. I am already invested in this young man, and I want to know more, to know how the story progresses and ends.

From Book to Bestseller: An Insider's Guide to Publicizing and Marketing Your Book!

Penny Sansevieri

Morgan James Publishing, 2006

Reviewed by Barb Radmore
From Book to Bestseller is the full meal, from appetizer to dessert, on the art of marketing a book. Penny Sansevieri has written the definitive guide to the process of self promotion. If she does not cover it, you don't need to know it. With so many books being published every day (statistic used in the book is 195,000 a year) it is up to the author to find a way to make his book standout ...

We Are Not Afraid: Strength and Courage from the Town That Inspired the #1 Bestseller and Award-Winning Movie ...

10 reviews
Homer Hickam

HCI, 2002

Fear diminishes the quality of life.........Don't let it!!
We Are Not Afraid is a very inspiring book about strength and courage in perilous times. I think everyone who reads this will come away a stronger individual for it. If you have children, sons, daughters, nieces or nephews I think it is even more important to read this!!! The book was just such a "thinker". It is only 213 pages, it reads quickly but it lasts long after you close the cover. ...

De Profundis

9 reviews, 2008

Strangely moving
One of the most famous - and infamous - letters in all of literature, De Profundis is a strange little piece of work: either much more than it appears on the surface, or much less. It is something I think everyone should read, if only for its insight into the human character, particularly that of one under great personal suffering. Wilde wrote this extraordinarily long letter from prison to Lord ...

From Lowbrow to Nobrow

Peter Swirski

McGill-Queen's University Press, 2005

From Lowbrow to Nobrow - A Book WELL Worth your time!
Peter Swirski is on a mission! Peter Swirski's book From Lowbrow to NoBrow is a compelling and ambitious work in the area of literature studies. As has been mentioned, Swirski's main argument lies in the fact that he is trying to "wipe the brow" (pun intended) of distinction amongst works of literature, essentially calling for the banishment of the title "lowbrow" for those books deemed "not ...

A Leader Becomes a Leader: Inspirational Stories of Leadership for a New Generation

15 reviews
J. Kevin Sheehan

True Gifts Publishing, 2007

Wonderful Gift
Kevin Sheehan has simplified the great qualities of important leaders and placed them in an entertaining text. A gift which I have passed on to my dearest friends, this book is both inspirational and educational. My highest recommendation.

Dead Cert (Bestseller Collection)

13 reviews
Dick Francis

Random House Audiobooks, 1995

Dead Certain to please mystery lovers...
In yet another gripping story of mystery, murder and British steeplechasing, Dick Francis continues his amazing streak of hit novels. His real appeal is not racing or mystery however, it is his ability to create characters who are admirable, honorable and self-reliant. If you're looking for troubled, self-loathers who "somehow" overcome their weakness and become unwilling and unwitting heroes, ...

The Making of a Bestseller: From Author to Reader

12 reviews
Arthur T., II Vanderbilt

McFarland & Company, 1999

A Celebration of Creative Writing
This hand-wringing book is about bestsellers; it does not (and can not) define how bestsellers are made. This celebration of creative writing is about writers paying their dues and being discovered. Vanderbilt discusses the effects titles, advertising, author name recognition, perseverance, bestseller lists, reviews, testimonials and blind, dumb luck had on books that made it to the charts. It ...

Lassie Come-Home (Perennial Bestseller Collection)

13 reviews
Eric Knight

G. K. Hall & Company, 1996

The Novel That Started It All
This is a wonderful reproduction of the original World War II edition of the classic Eric Knight story. I find it appalling that many Americans do not know that the original Lassie of the story was British because I read the original "Lassie Come Home" short story (published in the December 1938 issue of the Saturday Evening Post) in school. This original story is a well-written, haunting tale of ...

For Dragonlance afficionados, or those who ...

For Women Only Discussion Guide: A Companion to the Bestseller about the Inner Lives of Men

9 reviews
Shaunti Feldhahn

Multnomah Books, 2005

A good start for women.
I liked this book. I bought it for my wife, but I also read it just to be sure that it was even remotely close to my view of "us" (especially myself). I can honestly say that this book relates to at least 10 of my friends , to include myself, in some ways or another (10 out of 15, the other five are just too backwards to apply to my readings). There were some things that I questioned, but ...
