The Crusaders: The Struggle for the Holy Land3 reviews
Regine Pernoud
Ignatius Press, 2003
"Don't Confuse Me with Facts"
This book is a wonderful corrective for two sets of people: (1) Those who idealize the Crusades, the crusaders, and the culture which surrounded and informed them; (2) Those who uncritically villify everything that the folks in the first category idealize. Pernoud presents the Crusades in all their considerable glory and all their considerable shame. For example, an entire chapter is devoted ...

Trouble
I bought this book because I am a Holcomb and have been able to trace my roots to Sir John. Reading the book was something that I did not bargain for, it was so moving and beautiful that I went back and order a copy for both of my brothers. It isn't important that he is one of my ancesters, the story and the wisdom that is passed down is priceless. Enjoy and learn from this wonderfull book.

Just like the great pop-ups of my childhood

The popups of the castle and the knight are fantastic. The prize however belongs to the interactive pages where the child can pull on tabs to see the workers in the castle at work (hammering nails, weaving, etc), and ...

Art and Crusade in the Age of St. Louis2 reviews
Daniel Weiss
Cambridge University Press, 1998
A Wonderful Book About an Art Masterpiece
Daniel Weiss has written an outstanding book on one of the great masterpieces of medieval art - Sainte Chapelle in Paris. His analysis and discussion tell us about this marvel of stained glass, and how it was built by King (Saint)Louis IX to house the Crown of Thorns and to make it the Christian equivalent of Solomon's temple in Jerusalem. Scholarly but readable, and beautifully illustrated.

John Cleve
Grove Pr, 1980
hot sex and great storytelling!
If Amazon still can get hold of these books for you, you will have a fantastic find: two absolute classics of erotica. John Cleve offers you a very rare blend indeed: graphic scenes that are better and hotter than almost anything you will find in this category and a very well and entertainingly written story to connect those scenes. Amazingly, even the historical details are well-researched. ...

Melodie Homer
P E P C O, 1999
We love this book!
This book was great in giving my six year old a good understanding of what cancer is and why we use all the medicines to fight it. It's funny, has good illustrations and is a cute story. I highly recommend it to younger kids having to face cancer. It's really given my son a different outlook on his treatment!
