A complete look at his life
By the last page of this book you'll feel like you personally know John Adams. You'll know what drove him to succeed, his stregths, his weaknesses, his personality and most everything that can be known about a person. As a detailed and thorough look at the life of a man, this biography is superb.

E P Dutton, 1987

The Collected Sam & Max: Surfin' the Highway

Steve Purcell

Marlowe & Company, 1995

Re-issue
A re-issue has pretty much been confirmed which will most likely contain everything in this book, plus all the missing comics including the new webcomic. With all that it'll probably bring the page count alot closer to 200. Otherwize it's an awesome book, but I wouldn't pay as much as people are selling it for. I don't blame them though. It's a rare item and rare items have high prices.

A Line in the Sand: the Alamo Diary of Lucinda Lawrence, Gonzales, Texas 1836 (Dear America Series)

Scholastic Inc., 1998

Alamo Diary Opened My Mind
What a fun read! I was not too enthusiastic about this book but I gave it a try anyway. I'm glad I did! Wall-to-wall action and relevant description abound in this story about a misunderstood historical period. I read this a few years ago and I still remember how good it was. Recently I read another book about the Alamo, and it makes me appriciate how well-written this one is. I don't agree that ...

The Hejaz War
The Hejaz War of 1917 was written by Colonel T.E. Lawrence at the Paris peace talks in 1920 -21. Lawrence understood the Arabs thay did not conquer territory but they brought the Arab tribes together to conquer the Ottoman Turkish Army whom they considered poor soldiers. The Hejaz is the Red Sea coast parallel to the extinct lava fields of the 3,000m high Hejaz mountains. The Hejaz railway, ...

Highbridge Audio, 1998

Baseball's Old Testament
Statistically, baseball back then couldn't be more at variance with the game now. Cy Young threw 511 career victories, and 750 complete games. In 1909, Ty Cobb led the majors both in batting average (.377) and home runs (9). Cobb's teammate Sam Crawford hit over 300 triples in his career. What to make of such numbers? Lawrence S. Ritter's "The Glory Of Their Times" strips away the statistical ...

Best Glimpse into Ethiopian Adoption Culture
I'm writing this as the mother of an adopted Ethiopian child- I bought this book after a random search and it has been the most valuable book of our whole adoption journey. It's loaded with helpful background info on the AIDS & Orphan crises in Ethiopia, history of Ethiopia, insight into the cultural perceptions of adoption (especially by affluent, white Westerners!) and the very moving ...

Room on the Broom

Julia Donaldson

Macmillan Audio Books, 2006

We are on our third copy!
My son loves this book so much, we wore out the first copy to the point that it was beyond me being able to tape the binding back together anymore. We bought him a second copy that has been "loved" as much as the first, and so we had to buy a third copy for my toddler so she had her own book that didn't have pages falling out while we were reading it. At one point, I had all the words in the ...

This is a GREAT Bible for teens because it is understandable, yet not cheesy. I love it!

Playful Parenting

Lawrence J. Cohen

Ballantine Books, 2002

Great insight on children's play
I bought this book because I needed help with getting better at playing with my daughter. She always wants to play and I am busy or not in the mood. I was feeling so guilty and not a good mom that I started looking for books on how to be a better parent. After reading this book, I realized how important play is. Is not just a game but a way to build a stronger relationship with my daughter and ...

The Miracle of MSM : The Natural Solution for Pain

Stanley W. Jacob MD

Putnam Adult, 1999

Best book on MSM by far ...
This title by Drs. Jacob and Lawrence is by far the best word on MSM (along with product manufacturers dmso2.com etc). I, also, prefer the hardback version of this book. It is out of print but I found that it is still available at the distributor (msmsupplement.com as mentioned by someone in another review). I hope that there is a new, updated version of this book on the horizon, because I know ...

Stick Control for the Snare Drummer

George Lawrence Stone

George B. Stone & Son, Incorporated, 1998

Best drum book?
I was told that this was the best book for drums, by my drum teacher, a drumming student, and by a drummer friend. I read it, and I bought it, and I worked through it. I now think this is the best book I had ever seen on drums. Of course I can not say drumS, but Drum. It is specifically about the snare but it can really help you see beats, and stick control. If you do not know exactly how to read ...

The Way of Kata: A Comprehensive Guide for Deciphering Martial Applications

23 reviews
Lawrence A. Kane, Kris Wilder

YMAA Publication Center, 2005

A valuable find
Rather than presenting a book worth of random applications or cool looking sequences, the authors go much deeper and present you with a methodology for actually understanding kata application. I have found this book to be very valuable, i've owned it for something like two years and I still open it up regularly, it is defnitely a book that you will use frequently.

Book of Negroes

Lawrence Hill

Harpercollins Canada, 2007

The Best I've Read in Years
Usually when I read historical fiction I find that the history is interesting, but the writing is poor; or the reverse. In this case, I found both the writing and history to be superb. It's the first time in years I've read a story so well told that is based on so much research. I can't wait for the paperback to come out so that I can buy it for friends.

Lawrence O. Richards

Zonderkidz, 2000

Bible School Teacher's dream come true!
This Bible is absolutely wonderful. At the start of each book it tells who wrote the book if known and why the book is important. The text is written in plain English much easier for kids to understand (and myself). There are side texts with sugessted activities and additional explanation of significant stories. I LOVE this Bible - this is the one I read personally now myself and I don't know ...

Third and Indiana

Steve Lopez

Unabridged Library Edition, 1994

Third and Indiana
I recently attended a graduate class and heard this novel being discussed by high school teachers. Though the content and language are not appropriate for me (el ed), I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a consistently engaging read. I also saw many levels in the characters, and loved the foreshadowing and imagery. We live about 45 minutes away from Philadelphia and I was curious to see how ...

Josey Wales: Two Westerns : Gone to Texas/The Vengeance Trail of Josey Wales

27 reviews
Forrest Carter

University of New Mexico Press, 1989

Better than the movie!
Great story. Great action. Much grittier than the movie, this book doesn't pull punches when it comes to blood-lettin' the in the finest traditions of the Missouri guerilla-outlaw turned Texan. The characters are well-developed and the "code" underlying Wales' and Lone Watie's partnership is richly detailed. Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey novels are for politically correct sissies. This book and ...

Little big man: A novel

32 reviews
Thomas Berger

Delacorte Press/S. Lawrence, 1979

terrifically funny but sometimes touching novel
I was pretty much hooked by the narrator's first words: "I'm a white man and never forget it" (followed by "but I was brought up by Cheyenne from the age of ten"). A few paragraphs later: "I never suspected it at the time, being just a young boy, but I realize now that my Pa was a lunatic," and I was a complete goner. Little Big Man is an extremely humorous novel of the American west, ...
