The Book of Mormon: A Reader's Edition

20 reviews

University of Illinois Press, 2003

Best Edition on the Market!!
Wonderful Wonderful Edition!! I agree with the former missionary. This is a very user freindly edition of the BoM. The offical LDS Church Edition is very imposing and stark compared to this very inviting and easy on the eyes BoM format. Hand this edition to potential converts and they just might read the BoM. Why it took a secular university to put another Churche's Main Religious Text in a truly ...

Hour of the Dragon

21 reviews
Robert E. Howard

Donald M Grant, 1987

The last of Howard's Conan
He lives on in an infinite amount of spin-offs and new interpretations but Howard's Conan is without a doubt the definitive and best. This second volume in the Fantasy Masterworks Series presents the last of his stories and ends with his only Conan novel. Hour of the Dragon (itself an expanded rewrite of The Scarlet Citadel) sees King Conan overthrown by a bunch of villains too arrogant for ...

Here's what the book covers: -descriptions and definitions of over 1100 ballet steps (in alphabetical order) -how to say the darn words (worth the price of the book alone!) -illustrations showing you body positions for the more ...

The Twelve Caesars (Penguin Classics)

Suetonius, Michael Grant

Penguin Classics, 1957

A Great Introductory Book to Imperial Rome
Suetonius grew up in the years following Nero's reign and wrote these histories while he was the secretary of the emperor Hadrian in the early second century A.D. His book covers the successive reigns of Julius Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian. The stories focus on the emperors themselves more than the events which ...

Tryin' To Sleep In the Bed You Made

223 reviews
Virginia DeBerry, Donna Grant, ..., 2000

Oh, my goodness!!! You will be addicted!!!
I don't know that mere words can adequately articulate the genius of this book. I don't think I have ever read a book that kept my attention and called for me the way this one did. I also don't recall ever reading ahead just so I could know the outcome in a story, but I did with this one (only on one chapter). I did go back and read all of the chapter. :) The book draws you in and doesn't let ...

Who's Buried in Grant's Tomb? : A Tour of Presidential Gravesites

21 reviews
Brian Lamb, The C-SPAN Staff

C-Span, 2000

Brings presidential history alive
Although this book is about the deaths & funerals of this nations chief executives, it brings history alive for folks like myself who enjoy all things presidential. Focusing on the events that led to the end for each of our late presidents, this book is a thoroughly enjoyable read. I have visited many of the gravesites mentioned here & intend to endeavor to visit the the ones I haven't yet. This ...

Twisted Tales from Shakespeare

21 reviews
Richard Willard Armour

Signet, 1966

laughs from the past
Even my favorite bookstore can't find me this one. I hadn't thought of this book in years; my 14-year-old son had an assignment to rewrite the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, and it reminded me of this book. I must find it for him. I have always loved Shakespeare and deplore what passes for literature these days, so my recommendation for this book may seem odd, but this book is a must-read ...

The Count of Monte Cristo

388 reviews
Alexandre Dumas, Steven Grant

First Classics, 1990

Great copy of unabridged Count of Monte Cristo
We only recently found out that all our copies of The Count of Monte Cristo were abridged. We checked this out of our local library and liked it so much we bought a copy for our home library. The type setting is very readable and best of all, it's not abridged. The story is a classic and a great read. I recommend it for everyone.

Scipio Africanus

42 reviews
B. H. Liddell Hart, Michael Grant

Da Capo Press, 1994

Innovative Commander.
First, the authors initial premise that the victor does not always get the credit is sadly true. Which dispells many myths revisionists have been spewing for decades. Aspiring leaders could learn much from this and the authors other books. Here he has created a great story outlining the exploits of one of the worlds most underated generals. Dare I say hardly known? Chapters 10 and 11 is where ...

Evenings With Cary Grant: Recollections in His Own Words and by Those Who Knew Him Best

20 reviews
Nancy Nelson

Citadel, 2002

A beautiful life.
It is no easy thing to become so successful in one's career and yet be universally loved and respected as Cary Grant was in his lifetime. Thanks to the author for focusing on the good of the man and ignoring the rest. He was a good man and that is enough. Ms. Nelson does a good job in giving us an idea of who the man really was--a gentleman who was loyal to his friends, if not his ...

Book of Lies: The Disinformation Guide to Magick and the Occult

13 reviews

The Disinformation Company, 2008

The One They REALLY Don't Want You to Read
If the occultophobes of the world had any sense, they would leave the Harry Potter series alone and forget all about it. THIS is the book they should be trying to burn. Book of Lies: The Disinformation Guide to Magick and the Occult is a collection of essays and articles by leading voices in the occult world. A total of 40 written pieces take up roughly 350 pages here. A small sampling of ...

On the Banks of Lethe

James L. Grant

StoneGarden.net Publishing, 2006

A truly mind-blowing read that will have lasting effects.
Why it took me this long to read this novel, I cannot say. I'd been meaning to pick it up since its release, and immediately after diving in I could honestly say I regret the wait. Bringing us a highly intelligent and riveting novel that manages to skullpunch you with every visceral emotion that rampages through the protagonists, Grant will entrench you in a beautifully crafted love story ...

Encyclopedia of Walt Disney's Animated Characters

14 reviews
John Grant

Hamlyn, 1987

No Disney fan should be without it!
First, while the title of this book is accurate, it is also misleading. This is no fluffy, flimsy book containing some fun descriptions of Disney characters from the latest popular films. This is an intense, in-depth look at EVERY Disney animated character since Walt began his career. The book is divided into two parts, "Shorts" and "Feature Films". The shorts have the usual gang, Donald, Mickey, ...

Princeton University Press, 2000

Wonderful guide
It's a wonderful guide, with simple explanations and beautiful images. For amateurs and ornitologists.

The Club Series: Introduction to Bridge - Bidding

15 reviews
Audrey Grant

American Contract Bridge League, 1990

Audrey Grant is The Best Bridge Teacher!
If you are new to bridge I highly recommend purchasing all four of Audrey Grant books in the ACBL Series... CLUB, DIAMOND, HEART AND SPADE. She is unquestionably the best bridge teacher for a novice. In layman's terms she is able to explain and unravel the mysteries of bridge. If you begin with the club book and progress through the series as they increase in difficulty... club, diamond, heart ...

The Golden Ass (Classics)

20 reviews
Apuleius, Robert Graves

Penguin Books, 1990

A wild and entertaining romp of a novel
This is certainly an entertaining reading experience and Robert Grave's translation makes this 1800 year old novel come to life for modern audiences. The book is full of stories within stories, a device that I found very entertaining and reminded me of the best works of A.S. Byatt. The story within a story approach allowed for multiple wild digressions of the most fantastic types. Stories of ...

The Wall of Night

14 reviews
Grant Blackwood

Jove, 2002

Another winner!
I found Blackwood's second Tanner novel even better than the first, and I can only see Blackwood's books getting better and better in the future! Tanner is a man with a past, and in The Wall of Night he's given an opportunity to make right something in his past that went terribly wrong. Briggs Tanner is a refreshing everyday hero who isn't "super human" or "all action". He's an average man with ...

Vanya

14 reviews
Myrna Grant

Kingsway Publications, 1975

Serving God and country in the Soviet Army
Vanya was a young man drafted into the Soviet Army in 1970. He had been a believer for only two years, but during that time he had internalized the Scriptures, even though he didn't even own a Bible. His first priority upon arriving in the Ukraine for Basic Training was to find a private place to pray each morning. Thus before he had been in the Army for a week he was already in trouble for his ...

Ulysses S. Grant : Memoirs and Selected Letters : Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant / Selected Letters, ...

20 reviews
Ulysses S. Grant

Library of America, 1990

A Masterpiece
This book is a must-read for any Civil War or American history buff. Grant's writing is consistently clear, elegant, beautiful. He gives an engaging account of his wartime experiences that are accurate to the best of his ability, and he writes with introspection and humility. The personal letters at the end of the volume reveal much about this fascinating man, and are a welcome addition. Please ...

How to Write Successful Fundraising Letters

16 reviews
Mal Warwick

Strathmoor Press, 1996

You must buy this book
If you ever think you will have to write a fundraising letter, you NEED this book. Too many people think it is just like writing any other kind of letter but it isn't. There is a rhyme and, more importantly, a reason to it. Don't write a fundraising letter without reading this book first.
