Zig Ziglar

Pelican Publishing Company, 1982

The cure for "Stinkin Thinkin" and "Hardening of the Attitudes."
I have to admit that I didn't initially like Zig Ziglar. He came across like a used car salesman, untill I really listened to his message. Zig is funny, entertaining, motivating and when need be deadly serious. See You At The Top has been a best seller since 1975. I recently re-read this great book and felt recharged! Zig is awesome. While a lot of what he says is not new, it's worth getting a ...

Halloween Merrymaking: An Illustrated Celebration Of Fun, Food, And Frolics From Halloweens Past

Diane C. Arkins

Pelican Publishing Company, 2004

A VINTAGE LOOK AT HALLOWEEN
We Americans tend to be somewhat near-sighted in our view of Halloween in thinking that our celebration of the day is relatively a modern fascination. And, in truth, Halloween has boomed in the past twenty years to become second only to Christmas in decorating and celebrating the season. As Diane C. Arkins shows in this wonderful book, however, Halloween has been widely celebrated for well over ...

War Crimes Against Southern Civilians

Pelican Publishing Company, 2007

War Crimes
I have sometimes wondered if my paternal grandmother should have instilled in me such an intense antipathy toward Lincoln and the North by telling me the stories she heard firsthand from her grandmother who suffered some of Sherman's savageries in South Carolina, but after reading this book I realize that she was much too moderate. "War Crimes Against Southern Civilians" should be required ...

The South Was Right!

Pelican Publishing Company, 1994

This book busts every myth and revision produced against Southern history
It always annoyed me how countries including France and England would constantly mock Americans for our lack of appreciation, understanding, or simple knowledge of our own history. However, who could say they were wrong? During the last few decades of the last century and well into this one nearly every American including student as well as teacher knew any of the facts regarding the true ...

Romantic Fortunes and Halloween Fun
Halloween in the United States wasn't always a children's trick-or-treat holiday. In the beginning of the 20th century Halloween was a time when young adults peered into the murky haze of things to come and used all manner of methods to try to prophesy their romantic futures. Parties were the rage where bobbing for apples wasn't just a game but a chance to search the omens found in apple seeds ...

Family tradition
I grew up in New Orleans and my dad would read this to me every year. After many years and many moves, we lost our original. I was thrilled to find this on Amazon and I purchased it for my dad as a Christmas gift. What a wonderful sight to see him reading it to my two sons this Christmas Eve!

The Joy of Y'at Catholicism

Earl J. Higgins

Pelican Publishing Company, 2007

Loved it!
I have lived in AZ for 35 years but am a New Orleans native. If anyone wants insight into the uniqueness of the New Orleans brand of Catholicism, buy this book. In parts, I laughed until I cried--I remembered so many of these traditions from my childhood. A quote that stuck with me from the book was from a Jewish lawyer who said, "In New Orleans even the Jews are Catholic!"

Persuasion Volume 2!
This book probably should have been titled, The Psychology of Persuasion Volume Two. It really is quite good. I bought it for the body language information and was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the spirit of this book which was very different from his other two books I bought. This book is more motivational and more serious than the other two. What really worked for me outside of the body ...

Teacher's Night Before Halloween
Steven L. Layne

Pelican Publishing Company, 2008

It's the day before Halloween, and to every teacher's dismay, school has been overrun by princesses and monsters, Jedi and ghouls. In every classroom, teachers are struggling to keep order, but students have brought in their costumes to celebrate a day early. A group of girls sneak into the bathroom to exchange tiaras, and grotesquely dressed fifth-graders pretend to eat two younger students in the cafeteria. The entire school has turned ...

The Best -- Bar none!!
I have had this cookbook for many years. I first purchased it back in 1977, and it is without a doubt the best in authentic Cajun cooking. My original Pirate's Pantry finally fell apart from many years of use; but, although I recently replaced it, I still have my old original stuffed into a manila envelope. I love this cookbook!!!
