Matt Helm is meeting many of his old flames but one-by-one they are being killed. The action leads him to back to the past and back into Mexico to get him involved with the mob, drug deals (and you know how Matt feels about that), and murder. During his trips he recaps some of the romantic interests from previous books and meets a new, tough, little journalist with a secret. Donald Hamilton is writing top form here with this book you won't want to miss.

Selected by Brandon and Hill (Nursing Outlook, March-April, 1996) as one of the best books for small nursing and medical libraries.

For a new or experienced teacher this book is a must in your personal library. Not only does it cover the basics (senses, all about "me", community, family, pets) but it is a library of other resources available in most libraries. I highly recommend it to anyone working with young children in need of a little push with curriculum suggestions and ideas and resources you can buy or make or better yet have the children make.

Somebody has deposited $20,000 in Matt Helms bank account and Matt knows it means trouble. Once again Matt encounters a hostile government agency. The action is fast as Matt escapes to Mexico and is assisted by his old friend, Ramon. But nothing is what it seems. The mystery becomes even more tangled as the Mexican government gets involved. But you can trust Matt Helm to untangle the web when you read this great story by Donald Hamilton.

Enjoyed learning more about southern authors, especially since I'm from the south.

Robert Bridges, the Poet Laureate of England from 1913 to 1930, was the first Poet Laureate of the Modern Age. Living during the transitional period between the end of the Victorian Period and the beginning of the modern era, Bridges was the first Poet Laureate to live and write within the context of the pressures of an emerging modern mass/popular culture and the initial cultural shift from print to electronic media. Although his response to the emerging culture was more accepting than is generally credited, his literary reputation has been that he was a conservative and an elitist, one who was out of touch and unsympathetic with the working classes, and one who did not write appropriate patriotic verses in response to World War I. The bibliographic record of Bridges's career, belies this reputation. The primary importance of this bibliography rests in its coverage of secondary source materials pertaining to the literary reputation of Robert Bridges.

Caveat Emptor: I am the author of this book.

The late Charles Hamilton's work on the elusive world of JFK autographs is a must for any collecter or student of the Kennedy years. His detailed analysis of autopen and secretarial signatures can save a person a huge headache and a lot of money. Kennedy used both means to autograph photos and sign letters which makes an authentic signature rare. Hamilton set the record straight. The only real drawback is that it is a rather pricey volume for one that is so slender.

Rockabye Rabbit is an enchanting book. Kersten Hamilton's story is heartwarming, and Saundra C. Winokur's illustrations are treasures. It is a wonderful way to teach children compassion. I will definitely save this one for my grandchildren!

"The Royal 100: A Who's Who of the First 100 People in Line of Succession to the British Throne" combines a text by Alan Hamilton with many, many photographs. The book's subtitle pretty much describes it perfectly. The book is divided into five sections that reflect the genealogical interconnections of the British royal family. The sections cover the House of Windsor and its descendants; the Norwegian royal house (yes, one of them could inherit the British crown if some massive disaster wiped out all the Windsors and descendants); the Romanian royal family; the Yugoslavian royal family; and the Russian imperial family.

The interesting introduction has an overview of the British royal family and the principles of royal succession. The text overall is both informative and entertining. I loved the many pictures of the royals and their relatives: at work, at play, in formal looking poses, etc. There are wedding pics, baby pics, and pics of royals in the fancy military uniforms that seem to never go out of fashion. Mini-biographies (very brief for the more obscure individuals) accompany the pictures. Along the way are some marvelous images and curious (occasionally even scandalous!) facts.

This is definitely one of the most enjoyable of the many royal books I have read over the years. It's full of life. Unfortunately, the 1986 edition is (as I write this review) way out of date. But the book is still well worth exploring.

I am a 61-year old woman who walks for fitness. In reading this book I found lots of information to enable me to become more flexible and able to walk without pain. I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis and found the exercises and advice in this book to be most helpful in dealing with the problem. There is also invaluable help and advice for buying the correct shoes for walking as well as running.
I love walking and with the information supplied in this book am better equiped to wisely choose shoes and with proper exercise and preparation have been walking pain free.
I highly recommend this book for anyone of any age who is interested in building strength and flexibility. The pictures and descriptions of exercises are easy to understand, clear and helpful....in other words, "Not just for Runners".
