Goood rogue sub yarn
Good rogue sub yarn. Irving A. Greenfield's novel is about a submarine called the Barracuda. It's captained by an ultra-patriot who sees commies everywhere. One of the first ships the submarine attacks is a ship called the African Wolf. The captain thinks that the United States and the Soviet Union are at war so he decides to attack what he perceives to be enemy shipping. He's supposed to be participating in war games but he's taken them too far. Read this book to find out more.

As usual, the prose and the man
defy description. To know even slightly of either is to learn a new way to read, a closer way of listening. To learn to know a little of the laughing game through the veil of pain which is possible and too probable in life, a way of preserving the candle the twelfth hour and beyond, because communication exists. And always. I highly recommend this, as all his works, as a devotional to worldkind in general, and to the singular reader in particular. Enjoy the gift.

The pleasures of vagrancy
I found "Beggars in Paradise" to be a charming romp, both through the city of Paris and through the mindset of a man with nothing and everything to lose. Stettner's subtle comedy and moving descriptions made poverty seem worth trying for a while. Like "On the Road" and the travelogues of Bill Bryson, it inspires one to pick up and take off simply for the pleasure of finding the unexpected. "Beggars in Paradise" is the perfect book to accompany a traveler in France or to curl up with on a window seat overlooking a busy city. Its tranquility and intrigue will transport you to the underbelly of Paris and the simple glories found there.

Excellent book
This is a well rounded selection. It includes a variety of approaches, not leaning in a particular direction. It is best enjoyed with, or following, the authors' sequel book, Handbook of Clinical Hypnosis

THE CELESTIAL BED......The learning bed!
This was a story about a sex therapist, Dr. Freeberg and one of his sexual 'surrogates', Gayle Miller. After the Doctor is ran out of Arizona with threats of charges of pandering and prostitution, he moves his family and his practice to Southern California where he has to defend his beliefs once again. While I did not consider this to be a love story, I did enjoy the romance between Gayle and Paul Brandon, who also worked as a sexual surrogate in Dr. Freeberg's office. The people that this couple try to help could also cause the destruction of Dr. Freeberg's practice. If the author was looking for a new title of this book he could have easily called it "A GUIDE TO SEXUAL FULFILMENT", because it was full of intimate instructions on reaching sexual satisfaction. Overall it was a very good book that was well worth the time spent reading it.

American Library Journal
From the Library Journal, Vol. 126, No. 8, p. 117, 1 May 2001:
These guides do not lead tourists to the most popular bars or shopping districts but instead to the various Christian heritage sites in each country ... Each guide follows the same layout: Hexham begins with an overview of the history of each country from prehistoric times to the present. He then includes a chapter on literature, art, and architecture and lists what he considers the top ten Christian heritage sites in each country. Each entry thereafter is in alphabetical order ... Recommended for all public libraries.

Classic Guitar Construction
Published in Paperback by Sterling Publications (1984)
Amazon base price: $9.95
Average review score:
A valuable text for anyone studying guitar construction.
Classic Guitar Construction takes you step by step through the construction of a fine classic guitar. The book contains complete plans for an instrument, although the information is scattered and the body is shown half scale. Sloane uses very few power tools, explaining how to make and use the special jigs and tools you will need. The author describes wood selection, choice of adhesives, and finishing methods. The relatively low price makes this an easy choice for anyone wanting to build classic guitars or study their construction.

A Classic Work on Virginia Liturgical Architecture
While Brock's prose can be a bit stuffy by contemporary standards, this is still a seminal work in the field of architectural history and well worth review and ownership. The photographs by Francis Benjamin Johnston are hauntingly beautiful and are the standard by which architecture photographs are still judged today. Published in a limited edition by the Dale Press in Richmond VA 1930.
