May 1992: I immigrated to Montreal and found this book by accident.
Dec 1997: I graduated at McGill University with Great Distinction.
* SOME PERSONAL ADVICE:
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A GOAL YET, DON'T READ IT, IT'S GOING TO BE A WASTE OF TIME.
BUT IF YOU DO HAVE ONE, GO AHEAD AND PUT DOWN THAT $10 NOTE. I SWEAR. YOU'LL NEVER REGRET.
** SOME STATEMENTS TAKEN OUT FROM THE BOOK:
- Believe in your God-given power
- Your life from this moment is still a blank page
- The world is full of people playing at half or a third of their ability. If you go out there and do all you can do, you dramatically increase your chances of winning
- When things are though, we tend to get discouraged and do less than we've done before. Wrong! This is the worst time to slow down. The best cure for discouragement is to double your effort, so as to calm your fears and motivate you to keep going.
- You can't live for the approval of every person you meet during your life time; you've got to live for the rightness of what you're doing
- Tough time won't last. Tough people do

I've suffered from low-grade back pain for years, and learned a lot from this book. I especially like the integrated mind-body approach, the solid, realistic information about the mechanics of the spine, and the practical advice for care and recovery.
I've spoken with a chiropractor and an MD about my back problems, and the advice they gave me is identical to the advice in this book -- and the book was far less expensive.
Unless you were injured, your back took years to get into its current condition, and it will take a while to improve. This book is a first-rate map of the road to recovery.

I already had Roy's earlier business books and I knew I'd enjoy this one too, but I was in for a surprise. Free The Beagle is more about living life than business. I ordered 3 additonal copies right away. They'll make nice gifts for my neice and nephew. Us old guys get to thinking all the really good songs have already been written, all the good books have already been wrote. It's nice when you find the well of creativity is still flowing.
Take the journey yourself knowing that you will end in a better place!

In each of the feature film summaries, author Lucy Chase Williams not only gives us complete cast and credit listings, but also charming ancedotes provided by fellow cast members. This distinguished list includes Charlton Heston, Angela Lansbury, Jane Russell, Robert Mitchum, Gregory Peck, and many, many others.
But what really makes this book a joy for all Vincent fans is the biography. Almost everyone only thinks of Vincent Price as "that horror film actor", but he was so much more than that. Williams warmly reveals Price as the well-known, well-schooled, down-to-earth human being his fans knew him to be. We see the art lover, the fine cook, the author, the "special guest star" on HUNDREDS of television series, and... the practical joker who knew how to enjoy life and have fun.
The Complete Films of Vincent Price is a wonderful book. More appropriately, it is The COMPLETE Vincent Price. The multi-faceted gentleman everyone should get to know.

One last note: Mauldin went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for his work in 1945 at the tender age of 23, not too shabby.
I also heartily recommend Mauldin's complete World War II cartoon collection, "Bill Mauldin's Army."
Imagine my joy to find a reprint! The book means much more now that I can understand it. I've got 13 years in the Army myself, in Infantry and Special Forces. I'm a Major now, and I pay close attention to what Mauldin writes about officers. I want to be the kind of officer that he respects: always putting the welfare of my men first, respecting my men, and leading from the front. His narrative and comments are a constant reminder to me of the responsibility I hold for my soldiers.
If you are from the World War II era, you already know about Willie and Joe, and there's nothing new I can tell you. If you are an old soldier and you somehow have missed this book, then you are in for a treat. If you are a young soldier, or a prospective soldier, or the family of a soldier, then you NEED to read this book. For anyone else, it's a great window into a world that, thanks to some brave men 50 years ago, you will hopefully never have to see.

A quick & ready reference for unfamiliar terms encountered during literary jaunts and journeys, and a great aid for booksellers needing some accurate background information to list a literary find online! One wishes the numerous online booksellers just entering the fray would purchase a copy, and familiarize themselves just a little with the world of books and literature of which they have become purveyors! - I've seen listings that betray the seller's ignorance of the difference between Winston Churchill the British statesman (& prime minister), and Winston Churchill the American novelist! A quick check of this easy reference work would have made the difference between accuracy and diletantism!
