Hard to believe no one has reviewed this yet. For those seriously interested in the poetry scene in this country, the Morrow Anthology is essential. Some of the poets--Rita Dove, Tess Gallagher, Jon Anderson, Stephen Dobyns, Carolyn Forche, etc--have gone on to bright careers, while others have faded in the decade or more since the anthology was first published. But what a monumental task Dave Smith and David Bottoms---excellent poets themselves---took on by putting together this book. Incredible book, hands down.

Excellent book to be used as both a text and review source. Icons on the side of pages tend to be more distracting than helpful.

Volume Six B is a very complete reference manual for serious Motif programmers. It covers all Widgets in-depth and has a precise guide to the Motif window manager mwm.

Anthony Morris provides the illustrations for Mouse Tells The Timep, a fun story of a little mouse who queries his animal pals on how they tell time. Everyone has a different method: some look at shadows, some use dandelion clocks, some hour glasses - but poor mouse is confused by all these different methods, and must find his own way in this reassuring lift-the-flap tale.

This is one of my favorite Trollopes (and I've read 35 so far)! It is witty, clever and has plot twists worthy of the best suspense writers. This one deals with one of Trollope's favorite topics -- the law -- with the usual romantic crises thrown in, of course. Excellent book and I highly recommend it.

This is probably the best of Lynn Doyle's slim books - certainly the funniest. (The other contender would be "Ballygullion" (his first book) - not as funny, but pithier). Unfortunately all of Doyle's books appear to be out of print and hard to find, but well worth the hunt.

I was born and raised in Co. Down, and apparently my mother bought me "Ballygullion" in 1967. The two Doyle books that I still own - and I wish I knew what happened to the others - are this one, published by Blackstaff Press in Belfast in 1979, and "Ballygullion" published by Duckworth, London 1967 (originally published by Maunsel & Roberts, Dublin, 1908).

Lynn Doyle was the pen-name of Leslie A. Montgomery (1873-1961), born in Co. Down, now in Northern Ireland, who in his day job was a bank manager. The Ballygullion series of books are set in a fictional village called, uh, Ballygullion. He wrote "Ballygullion" in 1908, but most of his books were published after the partition of Ireland into Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Doyle himself was never clear as to which side of the border Ballygullion was located. Irish politics/religion don't play much of a role in his books, although he doesn't shy away from any subject in service of a good story or a laugh.

The Ballygullion series are written as a first-person narrative style (the narrator being local storyteller / village character Pat Murphy), with most of the dialog in phonetic dialect. This means it takes a dozen or two pages to get into the swing of reading it. My American wife got the hang of it easily, although there are some words that elude her, (and some that elude me also!). She loves the books as much as I do.

Wee Mr. Anthony was the subject of a couple of the stories in "Ballygullion", and it seems he became popular enough to rate a book of his own. He was a solicitor (laywer, basically) who was utterly inept and blindly over-confident at everything he did - an Irish Barney Fife. He especially enjoyed hunting, and usually employed Pat Murphy as his guide or gillie - no-one else would go near an armed and desperately short-sighted Mr. Anthony.

Buy some of these books if you can find them - they are timeless, beautifully written and hilarious portraits of Irish village life. And, if you are a publisher, buy the rights and re-publish them!

This is a fantastic book! If you liked Paperbag Princess, you will love this book. The story is very well developed and is a positive book. (Especially for young girls!) This is a role reversal story about a princess who decides to create her own man (since she wasn't happy with any of the men she knew) and has to save him after he has been kidnapped by an evil queen! I give this book a definite 5 stars!

This is a fine vintage children's story. Marie Hall Ets was a wonderful, imaginative illustrator as well as a fine writer. This story of a dog, a cat, a mouse, and how they saved their home - and their shoemaker - from his bossy sister is a delight for both children and their parents (and grandparents!). I wish it would be re-printed; but in lieu of that, I recommend that you grab it whenever you run across it second-hand!

I usually do not like to read books, but have to for school. I had picked this book to read for my report and was not disapointed at all. This is one of the only books that I have ever liked. It is a great story about the Black Market in Russia and curuption. The main character is a security guard at a hotel called The Red October and during work one night some bad things happen there and he finds himself in the middle of something that he can't get out of. I suggest it for anyone who liked the movies: Playing God, or American Beauty this book gave me a lot of the same feelings that those movies did.

Although Edith Meiser was the most prolific author of Holmes radio pastiches, the team of Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher was the best. This collection contains two excellent stories from the pens of Green and Boucher. In "Murder in the Cashbah", Holmes and Watson travel to Africa to ferret out a man falsely accused of murder. "The Tankerville Club" is based upon a case which Conan Doyle briefly mentions in one of the "Conanical" stories. Holmes saves a young man's reputation by exposing a cardshark.
