Jack Williams is at his best. A must read for anyone interested in bankruptcy.

This book grabs your attention right from the start and is a joy and pleasure to read. I couldn't put it down till finished. I highly commend the authors on their good taste and wonderful imagination. I personally can't wait for the next book to come out.

Great job!

Kids Outdoors does a great job at teaching kids the basics of hiking, camping and even canoeing, weather signs and more. My daughter loves the book.

I have rarely come across such a well thought out, interesting and innovative set of reproducibles. This is the book that has my name all over it, yet is borrowed incessantly by everyone. If there was one book I had to have in my teaching collection, this would be it.

This is a complex and thought-out story with wonderful art by Gary Frank (Gen13) and gorgeous colors by Paul Mounts. Emotionally gripping and filled with surprise after surprise, this is a comic that doesn't disappont. It is a modern and tragic tale of a peaceful society being encroached upon by agressive conquerors.

If you like light sculptures, kinetic optical art, you must have this book.

If you liked "A Dictionary of Modern English Usage," you will love "The King's English."

For three generations, a single book dominated the market as the authoritative reference in matters of grammar, style, and usage in the English language: "A Dictionary of Modern English Usage" by H.W. Fowler, first published in 1926, now in its third edition (published 1996). Twenty years earlier, however, Fowler and his younger brother F.G. (their given names were Henry Watson and Francis George) had collaborated on a precursor, "The King's English," first published in 1906 (and which went into its third edition a quarter century later, a few years after the first edition of "A Dictionary" appeared).

This book is every bit as charming and graceful as the later "Dictionary" and, while this earlier work covers fewer topics than "Dictionary," it treats the ones that it does cover with as much thoroughness and skill as "Dictionary"--in some cases with more thoroughness, since the book is structured as part essay, part textbook, and can thus afford more examples and exercises than "Dictionary." The book begins by laying out five "general principles" worthy of Strunk and White (whose masterpiece "The Elements of Style" did not appear until half a century later): "Prefer the familiar word to the far-fetched. Prefer the concrete word to the abstract. Prefer the single word to the circumlocution. Prefer the short word to the long. Prefer the Saxon word to the Romance."

The Fowlers expand upon those five "principles," and also treat vocabulary, syntax, punctuation, and other such technical matters in great depth. But amidst these technical chapters they also include a lengthy chapter on "airs and graces," in which they advise the reader about imbuing writing with art.

The Fowlers write with every bit as much elegance, flair, and humor as they advise their readers to use, and their mastery of their subject is unsurpassed. "The King's English" has stood the test of time and, today, a century after its initial publication, it still stands the Fowler brothers with Strunk and White from half a century ago and Bryan Garner of today in the first rank of authors about style and usage in the English language.

I have looked everywhere for a songbook of classic nursery rhymes that I could play for my toddler (old macdonald, yankee doodle, etc). This is it! It's beautifully illustrated and has simple piano and guitar arrangements that can be played by children. The guitar chords are not illustrated however, they are all extremely common and simple chords. As an added plus, there are recommendations for interactive games that you can play with your youngster while singing along to the songs. All around excellent book! Much more than I expected!

Berton, a well known writer of Canadian histories, has put together quite a collection of photographs in this glossy tome. If you are realy interested in the subject, I suggest Klondike Quest for the remarkable pictures, and "The Klondike Fever", also by Berton, for a written account. I can't praise the collection of photographs enough.

This is the story of Germany's great WWI ace Oswald Boelcke. Boelcke developed many of the air combat principles that are still valid today. He was also a great ace himself, shooting down 40 enemy aircraft. Much of the book is made up of letters and diary entries written by Boelcke himself,which makes the book as much autobiograph as biography.
