A Frosty Day
Published in Hardcover by Golden Books Pub Co Inc (September, 2000)
Authors: Andrea Posner and Tammie Lyon
Average review score:

Very Imaginative
I read this book online and had to show it to my 6 yr daughter. This is the cutest story and very unique. Every book about winter seem to be the same and a Frosty Day is completely different. I liked the idea of changing the color of snow. I am definitely going to buy this book and recommend it to others.


Gender and Immortality
Published in Hardcover by Princeton Univ Pr (23 December, 1996)
Author: Deborah Lyons
Average review score:

Useful, thorough, intelligent, often surprising
Lyons succeeds in making the first really useful and penetrating attack on the subject of Greek heroines, and in doing so makes an important contribution to the subjects of women in Greek myth and in Greek religion. Her scholarship and thoroughness are persuasive and make this book useful not only to the general reader but also as a reference work - the only one devoted to the subject. Her catalogue of heroines (in an appendix) is particularly useful.

There do remain issues to be addressed, to which this book has nevertheless made a useful contribution. Just how do the Greek mythico-literary and religious traditions relate to one another? Lyons rightly emphasises the local traditions represented in what we know of Greek cults, rather than the Panhellenic myths that we all know and read as children; her approach therefore works in tandem with work on ancient Panhellenic trends from the literary angle (e.g. Gregory Nagy). The relationships between the local cult that Lyons emphasises, and the Panhellenic mythical traditions that have come down to us, is a dark and difficult area. Lyons sheds new light on the topic by examining closely (among other things) the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women, what it has to say about local traditions, about immortality, etc. This is the first time that anyone has devoted any space to this important and influential text in a book on women in antiquity or on heroine cults. It is a good start; though the fact that only a few heroines in the Hesiodic Catalogue, and very few indeed in the rest of Archaic literature, are represented in what we know of Greek cultic practice poses questions that still need mulling over. Lyons, who tends to take such problems on a case-by-case basis rather than offering any general answers, will be essential reading for anyone who has an interest in them, or in Greek religion, gender, or of course (im)mortality in Greek myth.


The Good-Night Kiss
Published in School & Library Binding by Atheneum (September, 1993)
Authors: Jim Aylesworth, Walter Lyon Krudop, and Walter Lynn Krudop
Average review score:

The Good-night Kiss
I enjoyed reading the Good-night Kiss to my three year old daughter immensely. I am a mother of three and quiet alone time with an individual child is very important to me. This book has excellent soothing pitcures and as we are all snuggled up in her bed there is a tranquil effect.The story line in the book was enjoyable allowing my daughter to see things from a different aspect.The best thing about the book is that as it closes a tender kiss is shared (that I also give to my daughter)and a memory has been created.

Grammar of Contemporary Persian (Persian Studies Series, No 14)
Published in Hardcover by Mazda Pub (June, 1992)
Authors: Gilbert Lazard and Shirley A. Lyon
Average review score:

Fantastic language source book
This translation of Lazard 1957 which was printed in Paris could be used as a fantastic source of linguistic inquiries on Persian grammar. Lazard has given precise notions on contemporary Persian grammar. It is a kind of scholary book and may not be used as a training course in Farsi. Those who research on Persian grammar should apply for it.


Great Shape: The First Exercise Guide for Large Women
Published in Hardcover by Arbor House Pub Co (February, 1988)
Authors: Pat Lyons and Debby Burgard
Average review score:

Good comprehensive on exercise possibilities for BBW.
This book is an excellent introduction or survey of fitness possibilities and information for Big Beautiful Women of all ages. I am tired of reading exercise books that discuss size 10 women reducing to size 4. At last, there is a book written especially for women of size, for our needs and goals. Learn about warming up, cooling down, garment selection, how to pace exercises for you, setting goals...everything you need to know the be in the best possible condition. This book was really helpful in getting me motivated and educated enough to begin and maintain my fitness program. Enjoy!


Guts: Advertising from the Inside Out
Published in Paperback by AMACOM (September, 1989)
Author: John Lyons
Average review score:

The goods on
Lyons takes his years of experience in the advertising world and turns in Guts, an enjoyable read with anecdote-laden accounts of life inside one of the most controversial professions.


Hand of Zei
Published in Hardcover by Owlswick Press (December, 1981)
Authors: Lyon Sprague De Camp and Edd Cartier
Average review score:

Great book, a must to read for fantasy lovers
Lots of action, romance, erotic and adventure all in one. It's well written, it's if you are the main character Dirk Barnevelt himself. A very different approach.


Hellsing: Ultimate Fan Guide #1
Published in Paperback by Guardians Of Order (30 August, 2002)
Authors: Michelle Lyons, Mark C. Mackinnon, Anthony Ragan, and Anthony Ragan
Average review score:

Decent Guide but Somewhat Lacking in Depth
The first Hellsing: Ultimate Fan Guide covers the first six episodes of the bloody-good vampire anime Hellsing. The guide includes a fair amount of artwork--some promotional art and some scans lifted from the videos--and descriptions of each of the episodes, plus character bits and items on various aspects of the world in which the series is set.

The episode summaries are okay if a bit thin; I suggest simply watching the anime itself. Overall, fans of the series probably already know everything in the book, but it's still a neat accompanyment if only as a book filled with visuals and concept drawings from the series. Roleplayers may find the bit at the end for incorporating the characters and world into the BESM game system useful as well.

Palmetto Ave, Longwood FL 32750..telephone no. is (407)339-5080. This book was privately published and Mrs. Grant does have copies available. I'm her cousin.
