Seaview Books, 1981

A timeless story, beautifully delivered
Teresa Miller has brought us an ageless story in this wonderful book. Kate Dexter's story is the story of early twentieth century womanhood in the southwest. Tough, gritty, yet full of compassion and love - a chronicle of early Oklahoma. Simply beautiful. A truly satisfying book.

The author lives in my town
An amazing story, sensitive and probably before its time. Surprising lack of violence and sensitivity unseen in today's craft. Was nominated for pulitzer and internationally printed. You won't regret reading this book and all his others.

Seaview Books, 1982

This is a book you not only read -- but see!
Lifelines, the immensely talented Caroline Leavitt's second novel, grips you from page one. As we explore the lives of the women, and plumb the vagueries and anxieties of life, we deeply feel all their joy and pain. In addition, everything from palm reading to photography is described with such great clarity that this is a book you not only read -- but see!

Terrific action/coming-of-age for young kids in WWII
I first read this book many years ago as a child and fell in love with it's inspirational young characters. It trully is a terrific story of what one man can do regardless of size or age. Four Days of Napels is a true story of four boys, ages 18, 17, 13 and 12 years old who defeat the German Army in Naples in only four days. Afterwards, and for their incredible courage, each boy was awarded ...

Doubleday Books, 1986

Excellent remembrance of classic television serial
For Knots Landing fans, this is the ultimate memory of the show. Beautiful color and black and white pictures of cast in posed photos and scenes from the show which are sure to bring back many memories. Each character is profiled in detail with a history and reflections from other characters. Those needing answers as to who's who and how it all began will find it here and those missing ...

Seaview / Putnam, 1983

Heart wrenching and heart warming
This book has a strong female lead character that goes through many hardships. The story is heart wrenching at times, but has a great ending. By the end of the book, the reader will feel strengthened from the emotional journey Inanna has made in order to triumph over evil. This book has all the great elements - fantasy with a touch of romance, engaging fights, and hardships endured! A MUST ...

Bessie

Lawrence Bush

Seaview/Putnam, 1983

Stirring novel, memorable character
My favorite books have strong characters who teach me something about living. Lawrence Bush's Bessie is a remarkable character whose story made me cry, laugh, bite my nails, groan, and cheer her on. As a bonus, Bessie fleshed out my sketchy understanding of the role of the Jewish immigrant in the American Communist party. As a young anti-czarist revolutionary, Bessie finds herself, alone, in ...

A Lost Reverse Time Travel (sort of) Gem
I've been a bit reluctant to rely on Amazon.com reviews after a few clunkers but thank you, thank you, thank you to the person who put this on a "best of" list. This is not only a great story, about a frozen man, who may or may not be a gladiator from Caracalla's Rome, who is revived in the 20th century, but it's a well written book as well, with lots of historical detail that never overwhelms ...

The science fictionary: An A-Z guide to the world of SF authors, films, & TV shows

Ed Naha

Seaview Books, 1980

Prose makes it worth a look
The 1980 publication date limits this book to scifi films, TV, and authors before the budgets and special effects got bigger and the quality of the writing shrank to the bare minimum. If your primary interest is in "them big vidya game dinosaurs", you'd best go elsewhere. However, if you love the classics--Star Trek (no specification needed), Day the Earth Stood Still, the Planet of the Apes ...

Seaview Inn
Very pleased with the condition of this book. Will continue to order again, in fact I did. Haven't had much time to read the book itself yet. Get about 5 pages into each each night and then "klunk", my head hits the pillow.

Intriguing Historical SF
This is a fantastic book. I first read it years ago, and have been searching for another copy ever since, but could not remember the author, and the title alone gave far too many hits to be of use. I am glad to have finally found another copy.

GOOD SAILING STORY!
Loved this book, find other review saying it's not about the particular race missing the point, it IS about sailing, about LOVING sailing, and yep, there is danger, but there is such an appreciation for LIFE in this little book that to carp about any politically-incorrectness is definitely mising the point! Good characterization, good story, GOOD BOOK! Find it and read it!

Absolutely Nails the Bush Camp Atmosphere
The book is about a camp cook in a Geology camp in the Northwest Territories of Canada.I worked in the Bush in Canada for eleven years and everyone I know who has lived in those camps finds this book extremely evocative of the camp experience. I read this book cover to cover in one sitting. I don't think you need to have lived that life to enjoy the story, however. It's an excellent piece of ...

Seaview Books : trade distribution by Simon and Schuster, 1979

Women overcoming adversity
There is a thread weaving its way through the storyline of this (mostly well-written) first novel: the growing pains of two women at very different points in their lives, whose paths cross and who ultimately become each other's stalwart defender and champion. With the exception of some unnecessarily intense and terse dialogue, the characters prove to be interesting enough to hold the reader. It ...

Vincent Patrick

Seaview Books, 1979

the single funniest novel I have ever read
under-appreciated, probably because of the well-known but mediocre film version. Crammed from start to finish with page after page of the funniest bar business, police, and petty crime anecdotes ever assembled

The Book of Rachels
Born with the same name, this title grabbed my attention years ago when I read the book at the time it had its original cover art. I love this book and claimed it as one of my favorites after recently re-reading it once again. The author, Joel Gross, spent over a year on the research to write this book, and it definitely shows in the knowledge of the Jewish traditions, persecutions and people ...

Well, I love this book!
Maybe you have to be "of a certain age" and have lived through a certain time, with all its complexities, to appreciate this book. There was a lot of high and low life in the counter-culture, a lot of confusion, but there were some wonderful experiences to be had as well. I've read this book completely through about six times. I think of it as an old friend with which I will never part. I ...
