highly valued replacement text...
Dave Fury's similar treatment, (1989) will be re-issued in 2002. Ed's filmography is the definitive narrative, useful key to popular 'cult' classic 50's film starring Burt..."Sweet Smell of Success" for which Ann Hornaday, ex-film critic Baltimore Sun, has a book in development.

Very interesting.
I was very interested in the book, and really warmed up to the Slaymaker family as I continued reading. The writer's style is very easy to follow, mixing the family history with anecdotes from the present. It really makes you want to travel to Gap, Pennsylvania to meet the current squire and his family


A Cartoon History of Architecture
Published in Hardcover by John Murray General Publishing Division (18 September, 1975)
Author: Osbert Lancaster
Amazon base price: $
Average review score:

wonderful book written with delightful wit
A delightful read, as much for the appreciation of architecture as for the truly witty writing. I would think it would be a worthwhile read even for the studied architect, and I enjoyed it from the other end of the spectrum. Don't expect to get much practical knowledge out of it, though. Read it instead for its intangible, self-enriching quality.

A great cookbook for food from Lancaster
As a native of Lancaster all of my life, a shopper of Central Market, and a person who loves to cook, I highly recommend this cookbook. It has some great facts about the start of Central Market and TONS of wonderful recipes for local food. Scrapple, REAL pot pie, dips, caseroles, pasta dishes, cakes, and pies are all in this book. My copy is very dog eared, because there are so many great things to make! Buy this book if you like to cook great food!

Daytrips: Pennsylvania Dutch Country & Phila.
I live in the Phila. area, and can tell you that this is an excellent source of ideas for visiting the area. I borrowed a copy when a visitor was coming from England, and then decided to buy it because it was so helpful. I plan to use it when my family and I are looking for places to go for the day. There's helpful itineraries and maps, along with ratings for special places. I highly recommend this book!

Error of Judgement: The Birmingham Bombings
Published in Hardcover by Chatto & Windus (1987)
Author: Chris Mullin
Amazon base price: $17.95
Used price: $15.00
Average review score:

An Object Lesson in How Not to Convict the Innocent
This book is written by journalist and British Member of Parliment Chris Mullin and deals with the notorious Birmingham Six case. Mullin was for long in the forefront of those calling for the case to be reopened and arguably did more to procure their eventual release than any lawyer did.

This book is a tale of human error, skulduggery, and incompetence on the part of police, prosecutors, forensic experts and judges at every level and on such a scale that it almost beggars belief. It shows how the appeal process all too often can become a sham with the court not being open-minded to the receipt of new evidence.

Mullin mercilessly exposes how prosecution-minded and malign appellate judges can be when they have a mind not to do something. Attempts to bring a civil action against West Midlands Police for assaults upon the men while in custody provoked the notorious off-the-cuff, but all the more revealing for that, remark by Lord Denning: "Just consider the course of events if this action is allowed to proceed to trial. If the six men fail, it will mean that much time and money will have been expended by many people for no good purpose. If the six men win, it will mean that the police were guilty of perjury, that they were guilty of violence and threats, that the confessions were involuntary and were improperly admitted in evidence and that the convictions were erroneous. That would mean the Home Secretary would either have to recommend they be pardoned or he would have to remit the case to the Court of Appeal. This is such an appalling vista that every sensible person in the land would say: It cannot be right these actions should go any further."

Luckily for the Birmingham Six, Lord Denning's "appalling vista" was eventually realized when all the wrong doing was eventually accepted as having happened.

Happy Haunting!
I am originally from Canada and now reside in England. Here, we have ghost walks as common as the sun shines!,and if we didn't have our Ghost Guides ( books, that is) to assist us the ghosts might very well up and leave! They need us to keep our history alive and what better way than to take a walk through your own area and discover the wonders that are yours and make it all the more intersting by seeking out paranormal activity! I wouldn't be without the numerous guides I have and I am sure you will agree that Fiedel's Official Ghost Guide To Lancaster County Pennsylvania will be a must in your collection. It is insightful,self-explanatory and fun!!!! I believe that I would have no difficulty in finding the locations Mrs.Burtz-Fiedel writes about and a wonderful companion to her 4 other books! But even if you only own a copy of this title you will still gain enough information for it to be informative and give you a taste for ghost hunting! Lancaster's local Chamber of Commerce should have one these on hand! Happy Ghost Hunting!!!
