united states coin book
I bought this book because of the low price. When I got it in the mail I could tell it wasn't made right. I emailed Amazon they sent me a new book at no charge. The return process was trouble free. Yes I would buy this book again, and yes I will shop at Amazon again.

The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturnes 143 reviews
Neil Gaiman
Vertigo, 1993
Amazing start to an amazing series
The Sandman series is a remarkable set of graphic novels for adult readers. "Preludes and Nocturnes" sets the stage for the series in Neil Gaiman's uniquely creative style. In addition to his own expansive imagination, he draws upon a wide range of mythological allusions to create a new mythology that is every bit as meaningful and self-contained as any "real" mythology such as ...

Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Backlash 4 reviews

LucasBooks, 2010
Threads
There's still a fair amount of mystery despite having the cause of the madness being revealed and why they were affected by it (Abeloth's release is linked to the destruction of Centerpoint Station during LotF series). It certainly leaves it open to question as to whether or not Ben will inexplicably start acting as the others have since he was in the Maw as an infant. Likewise he apparently has ...

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns374 reviews
Frank Miller
DC Comics, 1997
A truly great comic
I'm sure there are people who can more elegantly, or more intelligently say why this is a good comic book; people who've been reading batman since its first incarnation ever, or who can point to those comics that have followed after, and say how The Dark Knight Returns affected them and brought deeper, more serious issues into batman comics.
But, even from the position of only a moderate comic ...

State Series Quarters Collector Map121 reviews
Whitman Publishing
Whitman Publishing, 2006
Awesome product! Must have for all state quarter collectors!
I ordered this, the newer product from Whitman called 'Statehood Quarters Map (Hardcover)' as well as "The Official U.S. Mint 50 State Quarters: Complete 100 Hole Collector's Folder, Complete Collection 1999-2008 (Hardcover)". This was by far the best of the three. It includes space for the new DC and Territorial quarters. It looks good and is very easy to use (yes, even though you are merely ...

Fables Vol. 12: The Dark Ages12 reviews
Bill Willingham
Vertigo, 2009
One war is over but another is about to begin.
"The Dark Ages" is an appropriate title for this collection of Fables comics (issues 76-82). It finds our Fabletown heroes, post-truce with the Emperor, dealing with the foul-hearted Gepetto in their midst and the threat of much darker forces on the wind. Mark Buckingham does the majority of the art in this collection and, as always, manages it brilliantly. I especially enjoy his illustration ...

I recommend Amazon as the place to buy stuff from. They just about always the best deals on their products. The quality is great and lots of items have free shipping after $25 which is really nice. I buy from here a lot and highly suggest this place.

The Man Who Made Vermeers: Unvarnishing the Legend of Master Forger Han van Meegeren34 reviews
Jonathan Lopez
Mariner Books, 2009
What Makes Van Meegeren Interesting?
I could not put it down. The strength of this book is Van Meegeren himself.
The book races by trying to cover as much of the whirlwind as possible; the art, the forgery, the lies, the lifestyle, the marriages, the Nazis and the aftermath. The story of a consummate con artist in every sense. The book does a wonderful job covering certain details of art forgery for that time period (though ...

Practical Watch Repairing
This is a very detailed book with good drawings and explainations of proceedures and tools to help you understand what it takes to do watch repair. It's taken me a little effort to understand his style of writting, I think you could call it old english, considering the time and place it was written. A very good book for someone who wants to do any level of watch repair. This book will stay in my ...

Batman: The Long Halloween158 reviews
Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale
DC Comics, 1999
A great Batman story
I was blown away on how good this story was. I am a big Marvel fan, but have been thinking about breaking out into mainstream DC books. I was not disappointed with this read. It combines Batman's dark precence and a great murder mystery to make a great story. The art also contributes to this as well. This is a great start for anyone who wants to read more Batman, and I am sure I will buy more ...

I've almost finished reading Part I, and I've finished the exercises in ...

All Star Superman, Vol. 158 reviews
Grant Morrison
DC Comics, 2008
Great take on Superman has both light and dark elements
All-Star Superman Volume One takes place in a re-conceived DC universe that looks back in some ways (Lois Lane doesn't know that Clark Kent is Superman) and forward in others (Jimmy Olsen is now a super-cool media personality), with the end result being a lot of fun. This initial volume of the ongoing series tells a good little story (well, stories, actually), combining hard science fiction with ...
