Rod Serling Meets Hitchcock
A corpse with a missing hand, sightings of a twisted gnome driving a sleek convertible, the lone hitchhiker on a deserted highway comes straight from a nightmare's central casting. "The Red Right Hand", written in 1945, fresh and jolting in the 21st century, must have absolutely rocked the literary world of its day with this strangely creepy tale of young love gone impossibly wrong. Dr. Harry ...

Suzanne Massie

Simon & Schuster Trade Paperbacks, 1982

Well worth the price
I first read this magnificent tome on Russian history and culture in 1997. As it was part of a history class in college, the first read was a bit of a drag...page after page of description concerning the minutia of Russian life: clothes, churches, meals, religious & superstitious rituals, architecture, commerce, political strife, and so on. Really, with the whirl of the Social Circus of that ...

On Being a Christian

Hans Kung

Simon Schuster Trade

Thoroughly honest, revealing, radical and inspiring.
In my 42-year career as a scientist I scarcely had time for religious education, meditation and inspiration. In my so-far 12 years of retirement I have been led to broadening my knowledge and appreciation of religion -- man's attempt to find spiritual meaning in the universe, a universe whose physical side man has so successfully investigated and revealed through science The figure of Jesus ...

How to Play Your Best Golf All the Time

Tommy Armour

Simon Schuster Trade

Very dated but still worthwhile
Bear in mind that this is a book originally published in the 1950s. It's widely regarded as an all-time classic, but it's now very dated. Armour was an excellent player (one of the great iron players of all time) and a superb teacher, but some of his theories are no longer in vogue. I can tell you that way back in the early 1960s this book, through Armour's focus on the hip turn, transformed ...

A compelling introduction to Judaism
A heartfelt and personal discussion of Judaism. Herman Wouk is the master of the historical novel. His guidebook to Judaism is written with love and respect.

Russia Under the Old Regime

Pipes, Richard Pipes

Simon Schuster Trade, 1984

Amazing interpretation of Russia's history
This book is an absolute must-read! Before I read this book the history of Russia was a weakly connected sequence of contradictory events to me - that I wasn't able to organize in my mind in any comprehensible way. After reading this book I see a clear picture of my country's history. I suddenly understand what is going on. Every historical event, every action of a historic person suddenly falls ...

13 French Street and the Red Scarf

Gil Brewer

Simon Schuster Trade, 1988

greatest 50's movie never made
Just to clarify--I have not read 13 French Street-- yet. Red Scarf is, however, perhaps my favorite roman noir. It would have made, I believe, a wonderful Technicolor noir with maybe Bob Mitchum and Lizabeth Scott. Maybe let Phil Karlson direct from an adaptation by A. I. Bezzerides. Too damn cool. The book itself is dark and pungent. Swift and cinematic in the manner of a contemporary ...

Earl Woods, The Tiger Woods Foundation

Simon Schuster Trade

"Be a winner . . . in your own life." -- Tiger Woods
Earl and Tiger Woods team up in this book to provide great advice for children on how to make the most of their lives. The book begins with an introduction by Tiger that talks about the importance of being a role model, and describes his Dad as his. From his Father, he learned to "share and care." He challenges young readers. "With your help, I believe that we can make a difference in the ...

The inside scoop on whaling
I highly recommend Dr. Robertson's account of his experiences on a whaling ship. He provides detailed information of not only the whaling process, but also the psyches and personalities of the whalemen. Because this was his first voyage aboard a whaleship, Dr. Robertson takes the view of the novice, asking the whalemen questions that most experienced sailors would not bother inquiring about. He ...

Until the End

Coyle Harold

Simon & Schuster (Trade Division), 1996

A one line summary is insufficient to describe this book.
Look Away and Until the End were my first 2 Civil War novels. I was not dissappointed. The battles are described in vivid detail. Coyle makes the 1860's come alive with wonderful plot AND character development. The only bad thing that could possibly be said about this book is that it is not "to be continued".

Textiles: Fifth Edition

Simon Schuster Trade, 1979

Connecting Textiles and Science
I use this book as the text for teaching a basic textiles course for sophmores. This text provides a sound foundation for students understanding the textiles and the science foundations that are the base for predicting textile performance. Every line is packed with information; there is no fluff in this book. If you want to understand WHY textiles and textile products perform in specific ways, ...

Wilcox, R. Turner Wilcox

The Best Reference Around
This is an excellent reference for all costumers. There are extensive pictures of garmets, hairstyles, shoes, and textile patterns for every period from early Byzantium to at least the 40's. Although it is (currently) out of print, seek it out at your library or bookstore till they bring it back!

Simon & Schuster Trade, 1987

Cats Rock!
This book has some of the most interesting qualities I have ever seen!!! You should read this parody because of the realism. Ilene Hochberg has such wit and talent to think of these ideas, that I have been inspired! I love her way of putting cats into the purrspective of life. P.S. Take a look at the very back page/cover to see what my friends and I call the "Macarena Cat". Remember- ...

Leap Year

Steve Erickson

Simon Schuster Trade, 1989

Politicians = clueless. 1988-2008
Erickson lambastes the Right and the Left in this journey through the election of 1988 (copyright 1989). Much of it could have been written about any election since by merely changing the names. Even though the specifics are dated, it is still a fun, funny and intelligent read in 2008. Highly recommended.
