Conceptis Puzzles

Sterling, 2006

Best Variety
I love this book. Got tired for the 9x9 boxes long ago. There's enough variety to make sure you never get bored. Most of these puzzles are not for the beginner so make sure you can handle the advanced 9x9's before working these.
  
  











  



  
Leviathan: With Selected Variants from the Latin Edition of 16685 reviews
Thomas Hobbes

Hackett Pub Co Inc, 1994

Excellent edition
There are lots of editions of Leviathan around, so why buy this one? The things the editor, Ed Curely, has done to make this edition accessible yet scholarly, like: 1. Updated spelling and punctuation. Although I personally miss Hobbes' original spelling (see the Penguin edition for that), as a teacher I appreciate Ed's making it easier for beginners to read Hobbes' words. 2. Index. Most ...

Gerard Way

Dark Horse, 2007

excellent start to an awesome series!
(this review contains spoilers for volume one) The start of The Apocalypse Suite story arc is just great. There's enough information about the characters you're meeting without being overwhelmed and it feels different from other series I've read. Yes, special children off at a school could easily sound like X-men but this so instantly is not. The event that sort of sparks all of this, the ...

Walter J. Spielberger

Remarkably detailed history of Panther and its development
This is a very detailed of the German Panther tank, its variants, and their development. Well illustrated with many drawings and pictures, and text describing the development and problems thereof. Spielberger is preferred over Jentz for technical detail, although Jentz tends to have more combat unit information. Buy both if you can afford it.
