The Encyclopedia of Jewelry-Making Techniques: A Comprehensive Visual Guide to Traditional and Contemporary ...22 reviews
Jinks McGrath

Running Press Book Publishers, 1995

Great reference book for anyone who is not yet up to Master level
This is a perfect book that combines text and plenty of images to demonstrate both bare bones beginning jewelry making technique as well as more advanced technique (including making some of your own tools!). I bought a copy of this after taking it out of our local library and I am very pleased with it...Very thorough. Very easy to understand. For those who are really just starting out it's ...

Former FBI Agent Joseph Pistone and former Delaware Deputy Attorney General Charles Brandt, have teamed up to write this true Crime Thriller which is based on six years of undercover work by Pistone, a/k/a Donnie Brasco.

The Scarlet Letter405 reviews
Nathaniel Hawthorne

Running Press Book Publishers, 1986

A wonderful piece of literature, however
I completely agree with most HS students that this book should be optional reading for them because HS teachers should very well know that there are many different minds that need very different kinds of reading material and exposure to variety is not always a good thing that's why you end up having reviews of books like this by some HS students who puke on it rather then have savored it like I ... 		  
  







  
  
Wuthering Heights (Running Press Classics)497 reviews
Emily Bronte

Running Press Book Publishers, 1986

very intense
The outdated writing style takes a little getting used to, but once you do, it's good. It's incredible to me how the author, with her unusually limited experience of the outside world, who probably never had a boyfriend or lover in her life and lived a secluded life in a remote part of Yorkshire with her sisters and died a virgin, could have created such an incredibly realistic and well-drawn ... 		  
  







  
  
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn506 reviews
Mark Twain

Running Press Book Publishers, 1986

Ole Huck
You'll notice pretty quickly when you pick this up that Huck doesn't spell too good and his grammar isn't so hot either. But if you look a little more closely, you find that he sure knows how to use the semi-colon, and his sentence structure is picture perfect. Mr. Twain may have decided that he was going to have some fun with his charming narrator, but he sure wasn't going to sacrifice good ...

Rick Warren

Running Press Book Publishers, 2003

The Purpose Drive Life by Rick Warren
Excellent book!! As a Christian I was at a time in my life where I knew I needed help and to lean on God, but I didnt know HOW to go about doing it. This book definately shed some light on my path. This book is thought and prayer provoking. It opens up your eyes to what it means to live as a Christian using thousands of verses in the bible. For me bible study was difficult and often times ...

Tale of Two Cities (Running Press Classics)380 reviews
Charles Dickens

Running Press Book Publishers, 1986

Dickens made a believer out of me.
Dickens does a superb job in conveying how insensitivity of careless brute can meet pitiless vengence. 		  
  







  
  
The World's Shortest Stories: Murder, Love, Horror, Suspense, All This and Much More in the Most Amazing ...27 reviews

Running Press Book Publishers, 1998

Interesting
My teacher used "The World's Shortest Stories" for a lesson one day. I've never paid so much attention during one class period! I thought it was incredible the way these tiny, 55-word stories could be so little, yet have so much meaning behind them. Each story was thought provoking. Dispite their size, they all have some kind of "twist" to it. I was inspired and immediately wanted to write my own ... 		  
  







  
  
Frankenstein: Or the Modern Prometheus319 reviews
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Running Press Book Publishers, 1987

You've seen Karloff, now read the original
Once you read Shelley's classic you're going to scratch your head and wonder: Is this really the book that gave us the Karloff movie? Not to mention Herman Munster and Frankenberry. For over a century and half people have been cannibalizing this book for ideas, movies, other books, and products of every size, shape and type that our modern concept of Frankenstein holds little to no resemblence to ...

The Jungle Book (Children's Classics)38 reviews
Graham C. Barrett, Rudyard Kipling

Running Press Book Publishers, 1994

Review of Jungle Book BARNES & NOBLE Version
Since it appears that Amazon is combining the reviews for several versions of this book under one, I want to stipulate that I've read the Barnes & Nobel Classic version. Actually comprised of 2 books, The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book, this is a collection of stories surrounding the jungles of India. A central character is Mowgli - a boy left in the jungle when his parents are ... 		  
  







  
  
The Velveteen Rabbit99 reviews
Margery Williams Bianco

Running Press Book Publishers, 1994

"Restored by that Refining Fire"
"The Velveteen Rabbit" is a parable, a story about that refining fire: redemptive love. The Velveteen Rabbit gave himself in love to the little boy. In return, the little boy loved the rabbit completely. This love caused the rabbit to begin to look around and question what was real. In questioning what was real, the rabbit ultimately believes himself real and wishes himself real. Once real, ...

Complete is the Key Word
This book is huge. No basic magic trick is missed. The text is easy to understand and the illustrations are great. I also enjoyed the added little tips on presentation that hightens the tricks, adding comedy and entertainment. This is definately a must-have for all beginning magicians. At this price, this book is a great value, even for those of us just wanting a few little tricks to amaze ... 		  
  







  
  
Gulliver's Travels (Running Press Classics)93 reviews
Jonathan Swift

Running Press Book Publishers, 1987

Great book, great price
I am quickly becoming a fan of the Dover Thrift editions of classic literature. They are well-made, sturdy, and a great bargain. All of them that I have bought and assigned to my students have been $2.50. What can you buy for $2.50 anymore? Now you can have an entire library of unabridged classics at a more than reasonable rate. Jonathan Swift's "Gullivers Travels" is no exception to the rule. ... 		  
  







  
  
The Cigar Companion: The Connoisseur's Guide4 reviews
Anwer Bati, Simon Chase

Running Press Book Publishers, 1997

A must for any book and cigar lover!
My wife Pat gave me the second edition in 1995. I recently purchased the new addition. It only gets better. Not only is it put together beautifully but more importanly, it is fun to read as well as being very informative. I find myself frequently going back to it as I'm enjoying a cigar and a scotch. Great book, great price, go buy it. You won't be disappointed. Good smoking!

Best yet
I ordered this book for a cheese-loving friend's gift. Now I have ordered one for myself as it is the best yet I have seen. Pictures are yummy in color and photography and description.

Delilah Winder, Jennifer Lindner McGlinn

Running Press Book Publishers, 2006

Fabulous mac and cheese
I have only made one recipe from this book. The mac and cheese recipe is very easy and the end result is to die for. This will be the best mac and cheese you will ever eat in your lifetime. Thanks Delilah 		  
  







  
  
The Wind in the Willows (Children's Classics)124 reviews
G. C. Barrett, Kenneth Grahame

Running Press Book Publishers, 1993

joyful
"The Wind in the Willows" reminds me a lot of the television series "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." I make this connection because in the face of a great deal of children's entertainment that is fast-paced, zany, and explosive, it is gentle and slow, and speaks honestly to children without diluting its messages any. In many of these reviews, readers have expressed their affection for loyal mole, ... 		  
  







  
  
The Red Badge of Courage: An Episode of the American Civil War (Courage Classics)313 reviews
Stephen Crane

Running Press Book Publishers, 1992

The Horrors of War engage the Innocence of Life
What can one truly say about an American Classic. It would be presumptuous on my part, at the very least, to analyze Mr. Crane's masterpiece after so many literary giants have already poked and prodded this novel of youth and war to ad nauseam. As a young boy in the early 1950s, I first read this novel and enjoyed the superficial battle narratives. Later as a college student in the 1960s, I ...
