To kill a Mockingbird has been one of my favorite books since childhood, so now that I'm a mother I wanted to pass it on to my daughter. Being my native language spanish, my husband and I agreed on making our children biligual, so we read to them in both languages...it was a very nice surprise to find this book translated to spanish and to find also that it hasn't lost as much as other translated books, the words and the sense of the phrases are translated as exact as possible to the original novel which makes the reading very worthy. The size of the book makes it really convenient and the price of it too.

It is another useful for anyone who is dealing with plastics. Clear explanation and information.

Many a book lover has harbored a secret ambition to own his own bookstore. Tro Harper has been there and done that and has written a warm and engaging book about it. The end of World War II signaled a change of direction for Harper. Packing away his Marine Corps uniform and abandoning his pre-war career in broadcasting, he made the somewhat drastic decision to become a bookseller. "Now What!" tells tthe story of how he found the location - on San Francisco's Powell Street (for a time there was a second store on Market Street as well) - and stocked it and learned the trade of a retail merchant. The book details the early difficulies and deals with the author's relations with customers, staff, and particularly with publishers' representatives and their efforts to induce him to carry their wares. Harper's previous book about San Francisco included tales of the cable cars which rattled up and down outside the Powell Street ddors of his book store. In "Now What!" his unpretentious good natured anecdotes will amuse the general reader and instruct those other wannabe bookstore proprietors.

I read this book 5 years ago and liked it very much. This is a book about loyalty and trust. The main evil is money and what people will be willing to do for it. The writing is very good and the characters are well developed and you realy care about them. Two days ago, looking for a book in my vast library I decided to re-read this book. I still believe it is worth reading it when you have nothing else available. All in all a nice romance.

I admit right up front to being a complete sucker for Barry Moser's astonishing artwork, so you can imagine my delight when I found that Moser had not only illustrated "Our New Puppy," but that he had collaborated on it with his granddaughter, Isabelle Harper!

"Our New Puppy" doesn't have much in the way of plot--will the new puppy be accepted or not by the older dog?--but what it lacks in fascinating events it more than makes up for in the way of gorgeous, glowing illustrations. I don't know for certain, but I feel that Moser must work from photographs--the illustrations have a nearly photographic quality to them with all the best elements of that art form and none of the worst. He does an especially fine job at giving the sundry cats and dogs in the book subtly evocative expressions of their own, and the little girls (Isabelle and Eliza) are rendered with the warmth only a loving grandfather could muster. This is a wonderful treat for anyone bringing a new pet into a home that already had pets, and it's a must for Barry Moser fans.

My children and I really enjoy this book. It's quite funny, very original, and written like a true Texan might speak. Boliver Boggs tells stories that are outrageous. My kids enjoy the pictures as much as the text and ask me to read it over and over.

A light fantasy, the most memorable aspect of which is the sheer originality of writing a book based around oil-prospecting using giant alien worms. The book follows the development of a young rural lad who joins up with a gang of prospectors and follows him through a string of adventures.

Marilynn O. Harper's Cliffs Notes for George Bernard Shaw's two plays "Pygmalion" and "Arms and the Man" begins with a rather lengthy Life of the Author. After relating the legend of Pygmalion and Galatea, Harper covers Shaw's Preface to "Pygmalion," wherein he proudly declares his play to be didactic, and then offers the traditional Brief Plot Summary and List of Characters. The Summaries and Commentaries are a bit cumbersome since they break down each play by acts; you might want to come up with your own scene divisions to make these a bit more manageable. Harper also deals with Shaw's "Sequel," wherein he explains what happens after the play ends. Character Analyses look at Professor Higgins along with Eliza and Alfred Doolittle. Less time is devoted to looking at "Arms and the Man," which follows the same format as above with Character Analyses of Raina Petkoff, Captain Bluntschli and Sergius Saranoff. Unlike most of the yellow books with the black stripes, this volume does not develop specific themes or other literary devices independent of the provided commentary. "Pygamlion" might be the better known Shavian drama, but the farce "Arms and the Man" might be the more useful one to teachers.

A great little book with a lot of info on Rugby. Ideal for beginners, but is slanted more towards English Rugby.
