A marvellous literary work, by far Oxford's greatest, even surpassing Her famous English Dictionary. It has a mystical attraction that pertinaciously and inexorably draws You in and refuses to release. Well, in any case, this is a very good dictionary, and sadly, i know dictionaries. With an astounding number of entries for its compact size, it is replete with words and boasts several helpful appendices, also abounding in information

This was a wonderful book. It has short stories, even cartoons, about Oz and its characters. All of these are written by famous Oz authors, such as Baum (of course), Denslow (who illustrated the original "Wizard of Oz"), Thompson, and many others. For anyone who loves Oz, or any other good read, this book is for you. P.S. I have to say, some of the stories in here seemed like they were written by Baum himself, though in fact, only 2 out of the 16 were actually written by him. If you decide to buy this book (which I recommend) read "THE EMERALD CITY OF OZ" by Walt Spouse. It's a funny comic strip about the book, The Emerald City of Oz.

Oz-story #6 is the annual anthology of stories, comics and verse generated by L. Frank Baum's legendary "Land of Oz" books. This wonderful, large format collection features contributions by L. Frank Baum, Eloise Jarvis McGraw, Harlan Ellison, Philip Jose Farmer, Ruth Plumly Thompson, Glenn Ingersoll, Eric Shanower and others. Oz-story #6 is profusely and charmingly illustrated by the work of John R. Neil, Eric Shanower, Anna-Maria Cool, Marge, and others. There are comic panels by Walt Spouse, Steve Lieber, Tommy Kovac, Steven Weisman, W.W. Denslow and others. The center piece is perhaps L. Frank Baum's "Annabel", his least known children's novel which was originally published in 1906 and presents a rags-to-riches story of a young boy who finally wins the girl! With its flawless and pains-taking production values, Oz-story #6 is a "must" for all Oz enthusiasts of all ages.

This short review is from "Books on Bosnia" published by The Bosnian Institute. Combines travelogue, cultural history and political analysis to give an atmospheric and nuanced account of Yugoslavia at the point of its collapse

My five year old daughter Polly writes: "A boy went in to a paradise garden. There were loads of animals. He ran away from his home. He lived on scraps of food that he found. You can find loads of Cafe Max's in this book. And some Kangaroos (or possibly dogs) looking out of windows. And little eyes poking out. It was excellent. (I liked it too - Mum)

This information is very important for a research work. I`m working in a university.

This is a wonderful, easy to read cookbook. The recipes are easy to follow and do not require long preparation time. My family loved the sweet potato cheesecake (pg 60). The author gives you lots of reasons to want to eat more sweet potatoes in the research section, which is also easy to understand. I hope a second edition is forthcoming!

A fascinating book, rich in innovative analysis and historical detail on rail and bus management strategies and tactics. It's essential for students of both railroad history and California history. The detail will interest railfans, and the analysis would let them escape from conspiricay theories about the decline of rail passenger service.

Pecan Cultivars--Past and Present is an excellent reference book for all pecan enthusiasts, growers as well as home owners. This book list 1012 varieties of pecans and 44 hican varieties. When they are known the parents of a cultivar are listed. Characteristics of tree and nut, such as average nuts per pound, percent kernel, and susceptibility to disease are shown. I would recommend this book to all pecan growers.

The authors, Tommy Thompson and Fountain Young, are or have been pecan breeder with the USDA.

The best part of this book is the diskette that comes with it. It allows the reader to Review SPECIFIC content of the book, without becoming overwhelmed. If you also found the Lippincott's series overwhelming, I think that you will enjoy this book much more.

The Text highlights key points and I found that getting A's in class very easy using this book INSTEAD of the Required 500page textbook.
