The Annotated Sherlock Holmes: 2 Vols. in One 19 reviews
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, William S. Baring-Gould
Random House Value Publishing, 1992
A standard-bearer for Holmes collections
William S. Baring-Gould (1913-1967) was one of the greatest Sherlock Holmes scholars ever. Publishing several works on Holmes publically and privately, this two-volume annotation of the Holmes canon is perhaps his greatest work, and was his last. Published in 1967, the copyright inscription shows that it is held by his widow, Lucile M. Baring-Gould. Baring-Gould himself was a life-long devotee ...

McCloskey, better known for his Make Way for Ducklings and Blueberries for Sal, gives us another look at little Sal. The story is timeless and his line drawings bring the children to life.

For Love of a Horse (Two-in-ones)16 reviews
Patricia Leitch
Armada, 1994
These books are magical, to say the least
This title For Love of a Horse, and the other eleven in the series are the best horse stories I have ever read - I can't believe they are currently out of print!?! This first book sets up the series, where Jinny and her family move to the Scottish highlands and Jinny rescues Shantih from the circus and brings her home to Finmory. Patricia Leitch writes in a way that lets you share in Jinny's ...

Prayer in America (One Nation Under God): A Spiritual History of Our Nation, Volume 2 (Unabridged)46 reviews
James P. Moore

Comfort in Time of War
I have been beside myself over the way our government has been behaving in the Middle East. Over dinner last night my friends echoed the same concerns and misgivings.
It was then that I told them about One Nation Under God. This is a book that I finished a few weeks ago and loved from the very start. It gave me a perspective that I really did not have about the incredible spirituality of ...

Meghan's World: The Story of One Girl's Triumph over Sensory Processing Disorder11 reviews
Diane M. Renna
Indigo Impressions, 2007
Helpful to all parents dealing with children SPD
This book is wonderfully written and illustrated. Diane Renna has done a great job in relaying information that should be helpful in dealing with children who have sensory processing disorders. Shared insights to behaviors and diet changes make this book a must read for anyone dealing with it, and in my opinion, it will help many families dealing with autistic children. Jim Fargiano, author of ...

Brother One Cell: An American Coming of Age in South Korea's Prisons12 reviews
Cullen Thomas
Viking Adult, 2007
Finding Absolution in the Least Likely Place
First things first. If your name is listed in red ink, and almost everybody else's is in black, it does not mean that you've won a prize. Do not try to collect your package from the window. Cullen did and he wound up serving 3 and a half years in a series of Korean Houses of D.
Ever since I read a Giant Robot article about Asian and Asian-American inmates stockpiling ramen, ketchup packets, ...

One Hungry Monster: A Counting Book in Rhyme21 reviews
Susan Heyboer O'Keefe
Joy Street Books, 1992
Excellent Read for Mom & Sons
Me and my 2 1/2 year old boy just LOVED this book. He is very much into numbers and has been counting for a few months, so I got this book for him. It's one of the few books he sits for through the whole story. He especially loves the page for "four" ;).
It is also good for his older brother, who is in kindergarden and learning how to read / spell the number words.

What Grandmas Do Best; What Grandpas Do Best8 reviews
Laura Numeroff
Scholastic Inc., 2002
Great for special grandparents
I bought this book not for my child but for my child to give her grandparents to show how much she loves them. It is cute to see how men and women may do the same things to entertain their grandkids but in different ways. It is also nice to have two books in one, just flip the book over for the other book.

The Daybooks of Edward Weston; Two Volumes in One: I. Mexico, II. California5 reviews
Edward Weston
Aperture, 1991
An intimate look into the mind and soul of an artist
This book stands alone in the annals of art history. No other book gives such an intimate view into the day-to-day trials of a working artist. Weston, who from time to time fostered ambitions of becoming a writer, genrously shares his thoughts and his experiences over a 15 year period, culminating in a remarkable portrait of the artist as a human being. While literary critics may have ...

One Odd Day8 reviews
Doris Fisher; Dani Sneed
Sylvan Dell Publishing, 2007
5 star review
A boy wakes up one morning to discover that he's now living in a very ODD world, indeed! The alarm clock only shows ODD numbers; he only has one sock and one shoe to wear; his new shirt has 3 sleeves, and his poor dog has five legs! It didn't get any better at school, either, with only odd numbers on the calendar and a math teacher with five hands and an alligator tail! And so continues his very ...

Real Estate Tax Deed Investing: How We Made Over One Million Dollars in Two Years9 reviews
Matt Merdian, Laurence Samuels
BookSurge Publishing, 2008
The authors really and truly want their readers to be able to do this, it seems
This is just the kind of investing book we all hope for, with detailed instructions as well as both the pro's and the con's--not just the hype that sells books, not just "how to get rich without effort," but the authors honestly explain the negatives right along with what's so great--all the things that can go wrong, what to watch out for--also how to avoid wasting time, which is extremely ...

Two-In-One Crosswords: Hard And Easy Clues For Every Puzzle6 reviews
J. Baxter Newgate
Sterling, 2000
The Best Crossword Book Ever!
This is truly the best crossword book that I have ever worked. Having the choice of easy or hard clues just made it so much fun. I often leave at least a few puzzles unfinished before tossing a book, but I finished every single word of every puzzle in this book. I also loved the paper quality in this book. Pencil erased very well from it, so it was easy to correct mistakes. The size and weight of ...

Structural Hearing: Tonal Coherence in Music (Two Volumes Bound As One)8 reviews
Felix Salzer
Dover Publications, 1962
Excellent Book!, but try rebinding it.
This is a great book for those interested in exploring the many and varied aspects and ramifications of Schenkerian theory. I first bought this book in its hardback-two-separate-volume edition in 1972 or 1973, when, as an undergraduate music student, I was looking for answers to how music "works." This was while studying at a university where the music theory department had been commandeered by ...

When Two Become One: Enhancing Sexual Intimacy in Marriage10 reviews
Christopher McCluskey, Rachel McCluskey
Revell, 2004
The Soul of Sex
The McCluskeys understand and speak to the inextricable connection between body and spirit. They view sex as a form of communication, so it's natural that they focus on what's being communicated. It's at this deeper level, they contend, that most sexual problems and frustrations begin. And they can only be cured at the source-in the soul.
They avoid the degrading lingo that most people default ...

One Thousand Paper Cranes: The Story of Sadako and the Children's Peace Statue6 reviews
Takayuki Ishii
Topeka Bindery, 2001
Memorable and heartbreaking...
...this is the kind of book that continues to haunt you long after you put it down. I read this book in elementary school and then stumbled across it as an adult - even re-reading it as an adult, I was shocked by the descriptions of the damage done by the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This book is a must-read. As an American, I believe that the atom bomb was a necessary evil to stop World ...
