Five Smooth Stones89 reviews
Anne Fairbairn
Bantam Books, 1983
My All Time Favorite Book
I can't tell you the first time I read this book. I can tell you that I re-read it every couple of years because it touches my heart so. I was born in 1950 so I can remember a lot of the civil rights movement. I began looking for a copy of this book around 1995 and it was already out of print. However a dear friend of mine located a paper back copy in a used book store and gave it to me for ...

The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for the Love of a Family450 reviews
Dave Pelzer
HCI, 1997
This is a great follow up!
I also enjoyed this book as much as A Child Called "IT". This also made me cry as much as as the first one. I could not put it down as well.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone Japanese Edition5426 reviews
J.K. Rowling, 2000
Anniversary Edition nice but not essential.
In today's economy, customers buying books need to know exactly what they're buying. In this case, what your thirty bucks buys is -- apart from the previously published text (the novel itself) and the previously published art (interior art) -- is, essentially, a new cover by longtime Harry Potter cover artist Mary GrandPre, and a black-and-white illustration by Rowling (quite the cartoonist!), ...

The Dark Is Rising Sequence: Silver on the Tree; The Grey King; Greenwitch; The Dark Is Rising; and Over Sea, ...203 reviews
Susan Cooper
Simon Pulse, 1993
Wonderful, wonderful series
This series is my son's absolute FAVORITE. He's 8 and I recently decided to introduce him to the books, and he ate them up. He said he likes how the bad people aren't always perfect, and he likes the way the Drew siblings work together in OVER SEA, UNDER STONE and again in GREENWICH and SILVER ON THE TREE. I'm pretty sure that he didn't understand all the symbolism in THE DARK IS RISING, though ...

The monster at the end of this book (A little golden book)163 reviews
Jon Stone
Western Pub. in conjuction with Children's Television Workshop, 1971
Fun Book for Pre-Schoolers
I used to read this book to my own children and bought this copy for my grandchildren. The book is still as much fun for the grandchildren as it was for my children -- and the best part is I get to watch my children enjoy reading it to their children! It means they have fond memories of me reading to them.

SOG: The Secret Wars of America's Commandos in Vietnam104 reviews
John L. Plaster
Simon & Schuster, 1997
Outstanding
This exceptional story of US commandos and their allies the Montagnards, called the Yards, who were fiercely enemies of the North Vietnamese communists, is written by one of a three tours veterans in the SOG.
John Plaster is particularly good in the way he reveals the magnificent acts of heroism, of chivalry, of gallantry, of comradeship these commandos lived.
These true elite fighters who ...

Hard Shell Word Factory, 2003
From Print Publishing to Electronic Publishing
This is an excellent resource properly subtitled as "The Definitive Guide." As a print publisher of sixteen years, I wanted to learn about electronic publishing and spent hours on the Internet wading through the various, and often conflicting, information. I purchased a copy of "Weave Your Web" by Karen Wiesner and after reading it decided that I had to have her book on Electronic Publishing. ...

Nankering With the Rolling Stones31 reviews
James Phelge
Chicago Review Press, 2000
Ah, joy! Now I know what Nanker-Phelge finally is (and why)!
This book is precious and priceless! Older Stones fans (like me), especially those familiar with Sixties London and the districts where The Stones lived in 1963, will delight in the easily readable and so evidently true stories of The Stones' very early days when Mick, Keith and Brian were more than teenagers but not quite mature adults. Phelge has covered many of the bases and truly gives you ...

Best Chumash on market
The are many "Bibles" on market but ArtScroll has the best! They have the best covers and commentaries. None compare. A close second is Gutnick but ArtScroll has been around much longer.

Mary Pope Osborne
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2007
A fabulous addition to a wonderful series
This wonderful adventure with a Japanese poet was added to our collection just in time. An article ran about him in National Geographic, and my eldest son would not have had a clue who he was if he had not read this book. I think it is delightful how Mary Pope Osborne uses these texts to expose children to places, ideas and situations that might not otherwise be accessible to them. Definitely ...

Living for Lust
I should have read this biography sooner. I used to be in love with his paintings, and even fantasized that IF I were to travel back in time, I would've married him -- all this BEFORE I read this book. After I read it I found out that there was one such infatuated woman (Margot), and also a tragic unrequited love story that led him to religion and then to painting. Anyone who is creative will ...

Best Book by Lucado
I've read most of Max Lucado's books and this is not only my favorite by him but my favorite book of all time. (Well, except for the Bible.)
This book is helpful in some way for anyone who reads it. I have given this book as a gift for so many people going through a tough time and it has helped each one.
No one tells a story in quite the way Lucado does. It is hard to put his books ...

We purchased this book for our daughter who is expecting her first baby. The book is very informative. The pictures are wonderful and really show what is happening with her body and how her baby is forming. The new parents have read the book and refer to it regularly. As a librarian, I purchase parenting books for our collection and found this one to be excellent. I recommend it to expectant ...
