The Best 50 Daiquiris and Mojitos (Best 50) 1 review Joe Wylde
Bristol Publishing Enterprises, 2003
Not impressive looking book
I know we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I bought this to give as a gift to a mojito master, and I was a little embarassed by how small the book was. It really did not make an impressive looking gift. I can't judge the quality of the recipes, but I wish it had been a little thicker book.

Coriolanus (Signet Classics) 2 reviews William Shakespeare
Signet Classics, 2002
Shakespeare's Last Tragedy: An Overlooked Gem!!!
+ Shakespeare's Most Underrated Play!
+++++
This play, written circa 1608, is the last of William Shakespeare's (1564 to 1616) eleven (some say ten) known tragedies. Even though it is known as a "Roman" or "political" play, serious readers will discover that it so much more. I found that it stayed with me long after I read it.

A Very Private Woman: The Life and Unsolved Murder of Presidential Mistress Mary Meyer 23 reviews Nina Burleigh
Bantam, 1999
not all we thought
+ Brings Back the Era of the 60s
President Kennedy was not all we thought at the time. We reverd him, his family life and all that he did. This is an eye opening book and as such, necessary reading for the times we lived through with rose colored glasses.
