This book is one of the most educational and informational book I have ever seen on the subject of Cartridge boxes from the Civil war

Peck and his colleagues do a fantastic job of collecting annotations on collaborative writing articles dating from the early 1970s to the mid-1990s. Not only are the articles sorted according to whether they concern academic or workplace writing, but they are also subcategorized into useful headings like theoretical support for collaboration, problems with collaboration, preparing students for collaboration, etc. The annotations are much more substantial than you'll find in the CCCC Bibs, and most of them give me a good idea whether or not the article or book in question will be helpful to my research. I've been working on a dissertation in collaborative writing for the past two years, and have often felt overwhelmed by the sheer amount of literature on the subject; I have two file cabinets full of articles and a shelf full of books, and it's tough to keep track of it all. I wish I had this book back when I started the project! Although I winced a little at the hefty hardcover price, in the three days I've owned this book it's already saved me hours of time. I recommend it heartily to all compositionists who want a concise and nearly-comprehensive reference for collaborative writing research over the past 25 years.

This overview of Third Reich Edged Weapons is a must for all collectors whether you have 1 or 100 in your collection. A very good overview of the different variations of dress daggers with clear and representative pictures of each. Also has chapters on swords, dress-bayonets, engravings, etc. The book also has a number of chapters that should be read by all collectors. Especially the one on counterfeit daggers. It is the sort of book you as a collector just can't put down and as a reference book it is worth its weight in gold. It also has a very useful listing on RZM numbers. Good thing it is card-cover because I can see wearing this book out if it was paper-back. The book could possibly have had more color photographs, and a more updated overview on values.

This is an excellent book on wheat weaving (corn dollies). Great designs for the beginning and advanced weaver. Two fine artists sharing their joy and dedication in reviving the art of straw work. Intricate designs enhanced by the beauty of the golden straw. This publication is a must for any dedicated straw weaver.

Composite Structures of Steel and Concrete : Beams, Slabs, Columns and Frames for Building by R.P. Johnson

brilliant, true and a rare gem. Dance is an up-and-coming art experience that will soon be genuinely valued.

Terry Johnson is one of the finest playwrights working today. If he is not as well known in the USA as he is in his native England, it is just that his plays have not travelled to Broadway where, I believe, they would be instant "new classics."

DEAD FUNNY is a brilliant dissection of two rotting marriages, friends who come together in the fan club they've created for the British "low" comedians who create laughter by pretending to be silly, sex-starved clowns. Perhaps the American equivalent would be Rodney Dangerfield, Lou Costello, Red Skelton or today's Adam Sandler...not the brainy, quick-witted stand-ups like Seinfeld or Joy Behar.

It's a memorial service for Benny Hill which provides the setting for DEAD FUNNY. The hosts, Eleanor and Richard, a 30-something husband and wife who have long ago substituted excoriating wit for affection and their friends, Lisa and Nick, who seemingly have a happy, fulfilled family life, joined by their older, buffoonish friend, Brian for an evening of fun and games.

This is a terribly funny, sad, bitter, hysterical, shocking play which deserves as big an audience in this country as it had in London during its long and very successful run. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I have read the Diesel Detailing Projects. I must say that this book is all you need to get started on your first model. I have recreated a different model than the first model, but, this book helped me out with various tips and tricks of the trade. I suggest that you buy this book and read it if you are into the hobby deeply.

Katie Johnson has demystified whole language with this practical and fun method of teaching young children to read and write. I have had the pleasure of using this book (based on Sylvia Ashton-Warner's philosophy)in a classroom with four and five year olds. My students were delighted to "do their words" every day and they were on the road to becoming literate at an impressive rate. Now I have a four year old of my own, and I am "doing words" with her at home. With Johnson's simple method she is now learning words by sight along with letter sounds, and is learning how to form letters properly. I never have to coax my daughter to "do her words". She comes to me every day and asks, "Can we do our words now?"
