As a practitioner of Sukyo Mahikari for over ten years, I found this book somewhat baffeling if not down right insulting. Although the author seems to take the objective perspective of a scientist/researcher, what I found was mis-information, mis-interpretation and frankly, a very biased, point of view. Winston Davis finds the Mahikari practitioners phrase "Try it and see", a "manipulative" one. How else can one understand a phenomenon unless one is willing to look at it from many points of view. One can only see the surface from the outside. And, what is found within,through direct in-depth experience, can change the view of the surface.

This book had a good consistent method of teaching you grammar, although its format was very dull and uninteresting.

This novel is by the American Winston Churchill, once a fairly well-known author, not by the now more famous British Winston S. Churchill. Winston S. Churchill's only novel was SAVROLA.

This is another novel by the American Winston Churchill, whose fame was such in the early century that Winston SPENCER Churchill took to using his middle name to distinguish himself. Belongs with "Coniston" and other novels by Winston Churchill the American. R. Langworth Editor, FINEST HOUR Churchill Center

Not a bad book large format so it's easy to thumb through and explore.. For greater coverage you would be better off using The National Audubon Societ Field Guide to Florida.

This is not the best mystery book to come along that I've read, but it is certainly not the worst. A little on the violent side, this still manages to pull off a charming atmosphere. Funny at some points, dull at others, this mystery comes off feeling a little tired, yet still enteraining.

Following up on Vol.22's "Bike Boy" is "Message To The Emperor" by Zack, a 30-page mini-epic which takes an innocent youth down a long road in ancient times toward a truly spectacular climax, with amazing art that really raises the book's standards a few notches. (I only wish I could see it all in color, like the cover illo!) As usual, the other highlights this time are Gerard Donelan's single-panel cartoons and the latest installment of John Blackburn's blue-eyed blonde bi-boy, Coley: "Voodoo Swamp Angel". Disturbing violence is portrayed side-by-side with incredibly erotic sequences-- standard stuff for Coley! Between Zack & Blackburn it's a toss-up as to which artist's work is "better" or "hotter", but who cares? I only wish ALL the work on display here was of this high quality! (As for the rest-- oh well...)

All the stories this volume focus on SM, which probably will turn on some more than usual while making it too disturbing for others. So it goes!

Highlights includes Zack's 3rd story in 3 issues, the 30-page "Slaves To Lust"; John Blackburn's Coley in "Baitbucket"; Stepan Zubinski's "In The Kingdom Of The Snake God", featuring some of the most stunning artwork in the book, wherein a downed biplane pilot in Africa confronts sexual and supernatural forces head-on (so to speak!); and more cartoons from Gerard Donelan. The rest I could do without, but that's about average for this series. 2 noticeable glitches found their way into this volume: Zubinski's story has pages 3 & 4 reversed, and Blackburn's story ends rather abruptly after only 12 pages. The reason, as I suspected-- it was supposed to be 20 pages (as most Coley episodes in MEATMEN have been) but the editor apparently objected to something, causing some changes. Geez, in a specifically "SM" issue, I wonder WHAT was considered as possibly "going too far"?

This volume opens with "The Adventures Of Harry Chess" by "A.Jay" (Al Shapiro), reprints from DRUM magazine from 1964-65. Fun, quirky, cartoony stuff! Other highlights: "Virgin", starring "Jack Masters Private Dick" by Joven; "Coley Meets Doctor Sade" by John Blackburn (one of his most bizarre episodes, this would have fit in an "S&M special"-- OUCH!); "Stud Stars" by Sean (a pair of travelling guitarists "play" at a surprising venue); "Murphy's Manor" by Kurt Erichsen; and 12 more fun cartoons by Gerald Donelan (who gets both color covers this time out).
