Standing in the Shadows of Motown: The Life and Music of Legendary Bassist James Jamerson35 reviews
Allan Slutsky, James Jamerson

Hal Leonard Corporation, 1989

GREAT BOOK & 2 CD SET! FOR BASSIST ..AND MUSIC FANS!
James Jamerson is one of the top bassist of all time and this book will give bassist some insight to his genius. I never learned to read music, but I was born with an exception ear! I remember a long time ago, going for a job in a pit orchestra. The musical director was not all that impressed with my playing on the first day, because I didn't read music and I kind of fumbled through the ... 		  
  







  
  
The Fires of Merlin (Barron, T. a. Lost Years of Merlin, Bk. 3.)39 reviews
T.A. Barron

Listening Library (Audio), 2004

WOW!
Do not view these as five individual books, but as five pieces of a whole saga. To read only one would be to cheat one's self of seeing an entire picture. The epic begins with an child with no memory being raised by a mysterious woman in a small village. Both of them are regarded as local oddities and driven to live in a convent. The boy is known as Emrys, but never feels that that is his true ... 		  
  







  
  
Wizardology: The Book of the Secrets of Merlin (Ologies)56 reviews
Master Merlin, Dugald Steer

Candlewick, 2005

Gasp - utterly perfect for my little wizard!
These Candlewick "-ology" titles are all wonderful. "Wizardology" was an instant purchase for me. My son, Ben, has been calling himself a wizard ever since Harry Potter, Charlie Bone, and Septimus Heap. Wizardology scratches that itch in a big way because it adopts a narrative tone fully immersed in the absolute belief in the veracity of wizarding. It reports on the history and nature of ... 		  
  







  
  
Bo's Lasting Lessons: The Legendary Coach Teaches the Timeless Fundamentals of Leadership35 reviews
Bo Schembechler, John U. Bacon

Business Plus, 2007

Loved it.
This is a great book on the fundamentals of leadership. Bo and the author use football for examples of different challenges a leader might face. As a Michigan fan it was wonderful to read how this legendary coach made his way to Michigan, and how he formed his philosophies on coaching. After reading this book, the reader will have a better appreciation of how and why Bo coached the way he did. If ...

Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy79 reviews
Mary Stewart

Eos, 1980

Bicep-growing page-turner
Give this book a hundred pages to get going, and you'll find yourself unable to put it down. Which could be a problem, given the tome's enormous size. Physical difficulties (weary eyes from the small print, soreness in the arms from trying to find comfortable ways to hold it) aside, the book rewards with its incredibly rich cast of characters. Stewart's research into and facility with the time ...

Aromas of Aleppo: The Legendary Cuisine of Syrian Jews34 reviews
Poopa Dweck, Michael J. Cohen

Ecco, 2007

Very Insightful but Pleasing to the Eye
I am not Jewish, but after picking this up, in some ways I wish I was, if only for the traditions that seem so tied to the culture. As a cookbook, it has some unique recipes for some of the basics, but also brings to light many traditional foods that I really have not come in contact with. And I am quite the foodie, so this is fun to find new meals. Also, as the owner of many, many cookbooks, I ... 		  
  







  
  
Mirror Of Merlin35 reviews
T. A. Barron

Topeka Bindery, 2002

The Miror of Merlin
I liked this book because it presented problems not yet thught of in the average reader's mind. This bookis also intertwined with the other books so you didn't have to meet the whole cast of characters. It took little characters from the other books and made them bigger in one way or another.In every book new information is presented, this book holds alot. Not considering learning about Fincayra ... 		  
  







  
  
Checkmate: Sixth in the Legendary Lymond Chronicles34 reviews
Dorothy Dunnett

Vintage, 1997

'It is not one thing you seek, but two..'
This is the sixth and final novel in Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles. Like each of the novels in the series, the action is fast, absorbing and beautifully written. Lymond himself is dealing with the issues of nations and of monarchs while at the same time grappling with family secrets and finding that his own limits of endurance are being reached. Set against the backdrop of the marriage ... 		  
  







  
  
Only the Ball Was White: A History of Legendary Black Players and All Black Professional Teams17 reviews
Robert Peterson

Mcgraw-Hill, 1984

Oh, what a game.
Robert Peterson originally published this book in 1970 so it's really the original and standard history of the Negro Leagues. Peterson not only tells the history of these leagues and some of the great players, but also provides brief biographical sketches of dozens of players whose big league service would otherwise be lost to history. The book also has extensive appendices with annual standings ... 		  
  







  
  
Last Dinner on the Titanic: Menus and Recipes from the Legendary Liner26 reviews
Dana McCauley, Rick Archbold, ...

Hyperion, 1997

A social history snapshot that just happens to be a cookbook
After almost 100 years, the Titanic disaster continues to fascinate historians and the general public. The snapshot of Edwardian culture is nowhere more apparent than the famous "last meal" that Sunday. Thanks to menus kept by survivors as mementos, and some indepth research, Mr. Archbold has written up the dishes served in all three classes as recipes that, theoretically at least, anyone can ... 		  
  







  
  
Trial by Fire (Avalon Web of Magic)20 reviews
Rachel Roberts

Topeka Bindery, 2002

A thrilling conclusion for the web of magic series!
I must say it wasn't the best in the series and it wasn't the worst, it was perfect. I am a BIG fan of the avalon series so right away when it was out I so bought it. Anyways now with the story which is basically what we are supposed to type about, Emily, Adriane, and Kara now finally have to destroy black fire... and all have a major part to fufill(i may have spelled it wrong!lol) the prophcey ... 		  
  







  
  
New Shanghai: The Rocky Rebirth of China's Legendary City18 reviews
Pamela Yatsko

Wiley, 2004

New Shanghai
I found "New Shanghai" not long ago as I was preparing to visit Shanghai after six years in the states, and was attracted to it immediately. Having lived in Shanghai most of my life, I have to say that the author knows about Shanghai better than I do. I'm only familiar with the life of my like, but the book has a broad coverage, from the upper class to the cultural underdogs. In particular, I ... 		  
  







  
  
The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf32 reviews
Gerald Morris

Thorndike Press, 2001

Just keep getting better and better
After reading The Savage Damsel and the Dwarf I went back to Malory -- Lynet was just like in Morris' book, constantly digging at Beaumains and harping on having a kitchen boy substitute for a real Arthurian knight. After reading the first three books Morris has written in The Squire's Tales, I broke down and bought all he's written to date -- in hard cover. They are absolutely delightful, ... 		  
  







  
  
Escape from the Deep: A Legendary Submarine and Her Courageous Crew20 reviews
Alex Kershaw

Da Capo Press, 2008

Gripping
This is not a book made great by the writing. Rather, this book is great because the author didn't get in the way of this epic story. No US submarine sunk more enemy tonnage than the Tang and whether any US sub sunk as many enemy ships is debatable. Dick O'Kane, the Tang's skipper, literally jumps out of the pages as America's foremost sub warrior. Anyone uncertain about what it means to be ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2009

The Best of Easy Company
For those of you who wanted to know what happened to Don Malarkey after the war or who want to know how he became the man he is today, you need to read Easy Company Soldier. You won't be disappointed! Make sure you have a box of tissues. If you ever have the honor to meet Mr. Malarkey tell him "Thank you" and shake his hand, he has given so much to the United States. You realize that when you ... 		  
  







  
  
The Road to Avalon23 reviews
Joan Wolf

Dutton Adult, 1988

4.5 stars of historical romantic fiction-not fantasy-about King Arthur
The Road to Avalon is the story of King Arthur written as pure historical fiction with very elements of fantasy. This makes it quite a different story from the one that is normally told. There is no magic, no dragons, no quest for the Holy Grail and such things as are normally incorporated into the story. Uther Pendragon and Igrane married and three months later had a son. Because Igrane was ...

Joanna Cole

Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 1984

A unique and fun style of scary story
I have purchased this book for my neices usually around Halloween time. It is a book not many have heard of, but always enjoy. Tracy
