FALL OF CARTHAGE: The Punic Wars 265-146BC (Cassell Military Paperbacks)

8 reviews
Adrian Goldsworthy

Cassell, 2004

Rome's rise to prominence
I would say 4.5 stars actually, my only complaint really being thata couple of pages unbinded near the beginning of the book, I may have simply got the one copy that has this problem, and the need to do a little paperback repair is really my only complaint. The writing itself is so good in my opinion, that I wasn't discouraged by this little mishap at the beginning of my reading. I enjoyed ...

Cassell's German Dictionary: German-English, English-German (Indexed)

8 reviews

Cassell's, 1978

The best reader's German-English dictionary
I'm very sorry to see a couple previous reviews that seemed to expect more of a conversational or technical dictionary. Cassell's is unquestionably the best for reading essays, stories, novels and poetry (until you have enough knowledge to need only occasional reference to an all-German dictionary like Wahrig's for the occasional mysterious word). There is a British bias, mostly in the ...

The Modern Losing Trick Count: Bidding to Win at Bridge (Master Bridge Series)

5 reviews
Ron Klinger

Cassell, 2001

An essential element of bidding in contract bridge
In the late 1950's, the Italians began a long streak of World Bridge Championships. And various people pointed out flaws in Standard American bidding. The range of our opening 1-bids was too great. And so on. But when I read the excellent book by Belladonna and Avarelli (two members of the winning Italian team) about the Roman Club system of bidding (this came out in 1959 in the U. S.) I was ...

Making Doll's House Miniatures with Polymer Clay

12 reviews
Sue Heaser

Cassell, 2000

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
This book is so full of good ideas for creating items in perfect scale for a dollhouse that I don't know where to start. How to make your own tools and formers, making dishes and pots that are more realistically thin-walled than the commercially-available items, mimicking china, a ladies' vanity set, a desk set, baskets, metal, wood, flatware, foods, fireplace tools - even the kitchen sink! Way ...

Cassell's Concise Latin-English, English-Latin Dictionary

15 reviews
D. P. Simpson

Cassell's, 1987

Still useful after all these years.
As a graduate student in Latin, I have nothing but praise for Cassell's dictionary. The entries are concise and helpful, and it has sections for both English to Latin and Latin to English, which makes it ideal for introductory-level courses that require student composition. As for the reviewer who complained that it does not contain "longa" or "lata," the individual is quite mistaken and ...

Cassell's Latin Dictionary: Latin-English, English-Latin

24 reviews
D. P. Simpson

Cassell's, 1977

An Amazing Dictionary
This is a very inexpensive and indispensable dictionary for those who have more than a rudimentary understanding of Latin. The binding is very solid so the ugly yellow and orange cover can be tossed. The dictionary lays flat on the table for easy consultation. What I found most useful (so far I have been translating Vergil and Suetonius extensively) is that after the common definition of the ...

100 Winning Duplicate Tips: For the Improving Tournament Player (Master Bridge Series)
Ron Klinger

Cassell, 2003

Many players are frustrated by an apparent inability to score well at duplicate pairs. In this revised edition of his popular book, Ron Klinger shows you how to do it. There are five sections covering constructive bidding, competitive bidding, opening leads, declarer play, and defence, and they are full of well-chosen example hands and sound advice.

Cassell's French Dictionary: French-English, English-French

7 reviews

Cassell's, 1977

Another opinion
I disagree with the previous reviews. A bilingual dictionary is rarely of use to a writer, and is of use to a reader only as a complement to a pair of good single-language dictionaries. Although it may fail as a tourist's companion, the Cassell's serves my purposes as a reader well. The many dated idioms/definitions are rarely archaic, and don't detract from the clarity and completeness of ...

Das Boot: The Boat

6 reviews
Lothar-Günther Buchheim

Cassell, 2004

Excellent War Novel
Das Boot is one amazing book. From the grudges, toils, and rough world of sailors, Herr Buchheim has produced a novel with gut wrentching action and detailed sorrow. From the pre-cast off bar room orgies of saliors, to the maddening world of depth charge bombing, Das Boot will send you on one heck of a ride. The novel is able to capture the emotions of its reader and fully allow them to ...

Legion of the Damned (Cassell Military Paperbacks)

9 reviews
Sven Hassel

Cassell, 2007

GOOD BOOK
Some of it might be fiction, but it still tells a great story. As you read, it comes to your knowledge that Sven is anti-nazi(and thats fine with me)and if he really didn't fight in WW2, it really does not matter, if you can write and sell millions of books say whatever want, but don't talk bad about a dead man. It does no good and besides in the book he does say the C word.

Cassell's Italian Dictionary (Thumb-indexed Version): Italian-English English-Italian

3 reviews

Cassell's, 1994

Cassell's Italian Dictionary
I have bought several Italian English dictionaries in the past. There are all different. Some have pictures, but then they do not have enough room and miss some every day words. They are good for beginners and some travellers. The other type of dictionary is the dry word for word transalation without giving you any examples on how that particular word could be used in a sentence. What I ...

The Grafter's Handbook

3 reviews
R.J. Garner

Cassell, 2003

Excellent and very thorough coverage of grafting.
Aimed at the serious amateur or professional. Covers a broad range of grafting techniques and issues. As a person who taught myself grafting by reading books, I found this book to contain a lot of useful information and be interesting to read.
