"The Decorated Tumbler": Collectible Glassware of the Future

Don't be put off by the title - this book covers much of the inexpensive glassware in everyday use during this period for holding beverages, from water to the hard stuff, ...

Marcia Muller
Assorted, 2001
Fast, Interesting Read
This was my first Muller book and I selected it because of the American Indian influence. Not sure how I'd like her others, but I wasn't disappointed in this. I saw that one person picked it apart. Too bad. You see that most people liked it and I'd take a chance. I thought it was clever and is one of my favorite mysteries. Sharon will stay with you, especially if you have even a passing ...

Twenty Years Later, this Book Can Still Pack a Punch
I first read PRESUMED INNOCENT when it first came out in 1987, back when I was in my mid-teens. Having recently re-read it as an adult, I wonder how much of it I actually understood as a teenager. This is a book meant for mature adults.
This book is also quite good, a finely crafted legal thriller that succeeds at multiple levels. The prose in PRESUMED INNOCENT is first rate, and the major ...

Mayday (Glassbook)96 reviews
Nelson/Block Thomas DeMille
Assorted, 2001
Amazing
I read Mayday hot on the heels of finishing Full Story Insideand now I'm exhausted. More conspiracy theory and excellent research that creates the perfect back drop to a breathtaking thriller in the sky. As another reviewer stated this does have a strong lean towards Clive Cussler, which is no bad thing.

Wherever You Go, There You Are
This is a classic. Any day that I spend time with this book - usually just one entry at a time - greater peacefulness and focus are assured. And often the author's insights turn my views upside down - there's much to discover here.

Thunderhead (Glassbook)191 reviews

Assorted, 2001
The first of many for me by these authors...
I was searching for good, new (to me) authors, when I realized I had read all of James Rollins' books and was waiting for my "to be sent when published in paperback" copy of Rollins' The Judas Strain. I read the reviews on Amazon and decided Preston and Child offered potential to interest me. I was right in sampling one of their books. Thunderhead interested me because it was about archeology ...

Another great book by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
After reading The Relic and Brimstone (both books by Preston and Child and with the fictionilized character Pendergast) I decided to read something different. Believe me, this is probably one of the best books I have ever read. A true adventure. You will not be able to put it down until you have finished reading.

Bird Watching on Playing and (Glassbook) Coaching the Game I Love18 reviews
Larry/McMullen Jackie Bird
Oxmoor House, 1999
BIRD spelled backwards is WINNER
This book explores the post playing days of arguably the best forward to ever play the game of basketball. Bird recaps his days of playing in the olympics, his time in the front office of the Celtics, and his coaching days of the Pacers. I have been a huge Bird fan since I was a kid, yet I never knew much about him, except for what I saw on the court. This book gave me a lot of insight into ...

James Patterson
Oxmoor House, 2001
An Excellent Book
This was my first Patterson book and it certainly won't be my last. The book was well written, enjoyable, and I loved the characters. To me the makings of a good book are looking forward to the next page and the one after that; what's going to happen next is not apparent; and I want to read more by the author. All these were true for me with this book. I'm white, but I thought it was great to ...

B aldacci Continues to Amaze
I have been a fan of Baldacci since I read the first book. He keeps the plot moving. I have found a new author who I enjoy as much although their styles are very different. Andie Peterson, author of Northern Explosion, keeps the plot moving with believable characters and setting. I gave her a five star rating, too. I recommend these authors wholeheartedly.

I found this book to be very helpful! I loved it. I have been exercising for many years using at home videos. I actually like this book more then some of the Kathy Smith Videos I have used! I wanted to get more involved with working out with weights now that I am in my 40's. The book covers the benefits of working out with weights, nutrition and covers lots of different exercises for each muscle ...

A NEW TOBY PETERS FAN!
I found this book and series while doing an auction "online" search for movie star memorabilia. Typing in "Rita Hayworth" and "Betty Grable" brought up a list of all kinds of "goodies," among them a book called, "Dancing In The Dark." The auction write-up mentioned that Toby Peters, a 1940's Los Angeles Private Investigator for the stars, hoofs it onstage with these two Hollywood lovelies ...

Straight from the guts
Jack Who? People who are in college at this moment might not know the name. Does that really matter? No!
This book is about Jack Welch and his amazing story up the ladder of corporate America. It teaches us about guts, hard work and true dedication. It actually reads like 'Once upon a time in America' featuring Robert de Niro.
As Jack begins his journey with childhood memories, it shows how ...

Positive, Insightful, Spiritual & Practical
Orel Hershiser might seem to be one of those people who "had it all given to him" but after reading the struggles he had to overcome you'll discover that perception is wrong. He had to work hard and overcome numerous obstacles before reaching the top of his profession. The principles that led to success in his arena apply in all areas of live as he points out so clearly in this excellent book ...

Michael Golding
Oxmoor House, 2001
Never a literary mis-step in this compelling tale
Though I'm not often a particular fan of magic realism or fable-like narratives, this one fooled me by its literary quality into turning every page with vast enjoyment. Golding takes chances and succeeds, never sticking to the expected. I loved the way it ended, which was satisfying in a much deeper way than if all our longings (and those of the sympathetic characters) had been readily ...

No Way To Pick A President
I enjoyed reading this book. It rates high because it is timely and actually gives a plan to cut back on the tremendous waste of time and money in our system of choosing a President. Strong medicine sweetned with wit and style. Worth reading.
