Using our best Texan accents, we've read this book out loud for years. Sunny MacFarland is a wonderful and funny character.

I found this book to be a good source of inspiration. It gives different beautifull options to do capital letters and many choices for each one. I think this book is a must for serious calligraphers who want great ideas for initials.

A Candle in Her Heart is one of my favorite Emilie Loring books, and she has 50 published under her name! Leslie Blake lives in a small New England Town called Claytonville. Her Father, a distant relative, has inherited the estate when Douglas Clayton dies heroically during the Korean war. Enter the "mysterious" stranger, Donald Shaw, as a new chemist at the Clayton Textile Company. Add some intrigue, reconciliation and romance and you have Emilie Loring at the finest! A Must Read for any Emilie Loring Fan!

I am the one who new for CE, and I find that this book is very easy to read. It provides basic principle about CE , modes of CE, instrumentation, how to develope a method, and applications. There are many figures that make you easy to understand the priciple of separation in CE that other books don't have. This book is suitable to be the first CE book for you if you are new in this field.

I read a draft of this work back in the early seventies and this new version has been greatly expanded. Capricorn is one of the most mysterious signs, even its symbol is shrouded in secrecy as it may be the actual signature of God, and thus the true symbol of Capricorn is not given to us. Capricorn is esoterically ruled by Saturn, that great lord of karma. Everyone has Capricorn somewhere in their chart. No better true source on the subject than this work. I found that much of what is contained here is also found in Baker's master work Esoteric Astrology, which also includes the other signs as well as the ruling planets and houses.

~ ~ This book is not at all your average Who- Dun-it! It is a neat little mystery but so much more. The cast of the "Baker Street Irregulars" includes amateur detectives with some strikingly similar styles to some of the top detectives in Mystery fiction at the time (set in the 1940's).

~ ~ After the obligatory obnoxious and odious character is murdered, there is naturally a nice damsel in distress whose name needs to be cleared. Each of the amateur detectives (all members of the Sherlock Holmsian exclusive club), seizes upon a slightly different bit of evidence and goes off on their own private investigative track, each coming up with wildly different results.
Each of these sections in narrated in a style closer to the different authors that created each detective. The result is just wonderful for anyone who's read enough mysteries to recognize at least 3 or 4 detectives. Any that you don't recognize specifically will be recognizable by type.

~ ~ I lost my copy of this book a long time ago, probably lending it out to other mystery lovers. I was so thrilled to see this listing at Amazon[.com], that I not only had to write a review, I'm putting it in my shopping cart immediately for my next purchase. I can't wait to reread it.

~ ~ Maybe the best thing about the book is that while Boucher, a talented critic himself, is mocking other detectives, it is very clear that he himself has enjoyed reading tales of these beloved detectives himself. He could never write such an accurate spoof, without being an addict himself.
This is one of those rare books you want to share with everyone! Definitely 5 ***** stars!

Hugo's hidden novel - 'Cast Up By the Sea' - is in line with his 'Toilers of the Sea', provids an extremely intriguing, unpredictable story, more of his masterful prose, and the delectation of a coastal purview.

This is an excellent book for preschoolers. Toddlers love the repetition and bright pictures, and preschoolers really enjoy the creative transitions in the illustrations and the easy-to-read phrases. My oldest son liked this book so much when he checked it out of the library, I had to order a copy for him to keep!

Interesting

Here is the master of the love poem at it again. There are so many tender poems, erotic poems, poems of devotion...and these are mingled with grave and ambitious longer poems that mix history and contemporary sorrows. There's a great poem here on Walt Whitman's unknown novel about the perils of drinking, another that features a wild and slothful Percy Shelley...all are full of imaginative sympathy, and they're beautiful too. I'm so happy to add this book to my collection.
