A Wonderful Book!
I am 10 years old and this is my favorite book! I love it. It is funny, imaginative, and action packed. What more could you want in a book? Dashney is an excellent story teller, I really felt like I was part of the action.

Excellant reference book. Couldn't do without it!
Although bublished in 1981 this book contains most airguns that are around today. For those of us that collect airguns this book is indespensable. Though not listing all airguns, it gives many that were and are still available. Much more than just general info.
American Rock and the Classical Music Tradition

5 stars for 'Listening to Zappa' by Jonathan W. Bernard
First of all: I am not dealing professionally in any way with music and I am not a music theory student either. However, I find the article 'Listening to Zappa' by Professor Jonathan W. Bernard (which takes circa one third of this volume) as much entertaining as insightful. Like me, Mr. Bernard is a Zappa fan from his early youth on, and in spite of all the theoretical analysis, one can feel that the author truly likes Zappa's music and even appreciates his sense of (often purely musically expressed) absurd humour.
So if you are seriously into Frank Zappa and his music (and his musical parody, of course), this book is a must!
Britain Yesterday and Today: 1830 To the Present

Average review score:
An excellent view of Britain
I am a student majoring in History with a concentration in English History. I have used this book for one class, but since have come back to it counless times. The chapters are well focused and broken down into logical subcategories. The book is an excellent reader for those who want to know about the events and significance (something that many books leave out) of English history and contemporary England, as well as a refrence book for students and Anglophiles! The book is well written and easy to read for any reader, historical backgroud or not. Prof. Arnstein is known for his keen sense of humor and it definatly shows through in this book. This book also inclues photos which excellently illustrate the world of late Victorian England and the 20th century of the UK.

Excellent, Scholarly
This is a top-notch book, with excellent research, and a great deal of information on the Mauser rifle, among other things. If you want to know everything there is to know about the history of German or Austro-Hungrarian Small Arms up to 1918, this _is_ the book! An excellent buy.

Indispensible for Coverlet Collectors
Heisey's Checklist of American Coverlet Weavers is an indispensible reference in the library of any collector of American woven coverlets. Although this addresses only the weavers of figured ("jacquard") coverlets, even those of us who concentrate on the geometric coverlets, such as myself, will find this a rewarding read.
If you surf the on-line auctions for coverlets keep this by your computer. Take it with you to live auctions, antique shows, and antique shops. Many a "sleeper" is hidden under the lack of knowledge about American coverlets. Heisey will provide you with the info needed to identify and save a rare and valuable old coverlet from an ignominious fate (such as being cut up for teddy bears...) It will also provide you with the data you need to expand your collection with significant, early, or regional examples

The classic collection of literary theory
In this day and age of splintered and broken schools of literary theory, where nobody seems to agree what is the right way to go about reading and discussin literature, W.J. Bate's "Criticism: the Major Texts" is a wistful reminder of the days when critics were far more certain. For several decades after its publication, this collection was the classroom standard for the subject; it still serves as the best collection for any study of the history of literary theory. The introductions are brief but exacting; the texts are chosen with judicious editing; the lessons learned are not easily forgotten. In short, a wonderful read for anyone with a literary bent.
