Haunting at Mill Lane
Published in School & Library Binding by Holiday House (April, 1988)
Author: Ken Radford
Average review score:

I thought it was better
I chose this book because I like suspence. By the way the cover looked it looked like the old fashin ghost story with haunting and stalking people. After reading it, it was nothing like that. It was more on a lost soul just wondering around and doing nothing. The whole story ws about how the ghost named Sally-Anne wants her doll back. Night after night she comess back and looks for the doll. It got boring after a while. Th only reason i gave this book 4 stars was that i liked how and old woman,Old Peg, would talk of spells and which craft, the devils sourcery and The which Black Hannah. That is something that i like to hear.


Herron's Price Guide to Dolls
Published in Paperback by Wallace-Homestead Book Co (October, 1990)
Author: R. Lane Herron
Average review score:

R. Lane Herron's Guide to Dolls - still useful!
R. Lane Herron's price guide was one of my first "bibles" of doll identification. Clearly, the Blue Book series, originally by Jan Foulke, is the place to go for current market values, but Mr. Herron's guide is charming, enthusiastic and informative. His categories are not the standard ones in the field now... he includes paperdolls, for example... and it's not difficult to figure out where his own tastes in doll collecting lie. But, even after all these years, there are some dolls for which I have to go back to Herron's guide. There's also no arguing with his taste in dolls, which is refined and informed. It may not turn out to be the most-used volume in your doll reference library, but it's a valuable source with many black-and-white photos and covers some dolls that have been left out of more recent guides.


Japan in the Passing Lane: An Insider's Account of Life in a Japanese Auto Factory
Published in Paperback by Random House Trade Paperbacks (September, 1983)
Author: Satoshi Kamata
Average review score:

And I thought *my* job was rough
A well-written shop-floor view of the Japanese auto industry in the mid-to-late 1970's, when Japan's automakers were struggling to meet America's demand for small cars during the oil crisis.

Kamata worked as a contract employee on the assembly line of a Toyota factory and tells of 12-to-16 hour shifts six days a week, managers who increased production quotas beyond the limit of human endurance with no regard to safety, and the consequenses of a draconian employment contract.

Compare this to Ben Hamper's "Rivethead," which provides a similar (more humorous) shop-floor view of the auto industry during approximately the same era, but at a GM Plant in Flint, Michigan.


Killer Cults: Murderous Messiahs and Their Panatical Followers
Published in Paperback by Trafalgar Square (September, 1997)
Author: Brian Lane
Average review score:

Pretty Fair
To me the wording in this book was strange at points.I disagree with the authors depiction of the Branch Davidians.I don't know enough about some of the other groups to say if all their info was accurate or not.
It did have sections on groups I'd never heard of before.
If you are interested in this subject, this book is a worthwhile read.


Kindred Spirits
Published in Mass Market Paperback by Signet (November, 2002)
Author: Allison Lane
Average review score:

a riveting read
A word of warning: while I really did enjoy reading "Kindred Spirits," quite a bit, I must confess that the novel did drag a bit halfway through the book, and that while (for the most part) I did find myself sympathising with the heroine, Marianne Barnett, I did also find myself growing mildly exasperated with her inability to come to grips with her fears -- and perhaps this was because Allison Lane dwelt a little bit too long (and too often) on this subplot!

Colonel Jack Caldwell, haunted by what happened at Waterloo, and afraid that he had finally succumbed to his family legacy of brutality and cowardice, has decide to try and end his life. However when he finds the spot from which he will hurl his body off, he's interrupted by Miss Marianne Barnett, a young lady he rescued from the horrors of the French Revolution twelve years ago. It appears that Marianne owns and has been living on the estate next to the one he has recently inherited. Now, Marianne has her own share of demons. Twelve years ago, Marianne watched her family die at the hands of a French mob. That, together with the unkindness she experienced at the hands of her remaining family has given her a fear of strangers, and she's spent the past twelve years living in seclusion at her family estate. Now, however, with her trust about to end, Marianne will have full control of her inheritance, and she realises that she will have to learn how to overcome her fears. How she wishes that there was someone she could turn to and confide her fears. And then she sees Jack and recognises him as her valiant rescuer from the past. Realising that she had interrupted a suicide attempt, Marianne quickly decides to confide her fears to Jack, hoping that she will turn his mind from thoughts of death, and that he will, somehow, rescue her again. Will Marianne diversionary tactics work? But little do Jack and Marianne realise that danger comes not from their pasts but from a desperate and unscrupulous relative out to steal Marianne's inheritance, and who will stop at nothing in order to obtain this desired result...

On the whole, "Kindred Spirits" was really good read. Allison Lane has real knack for spinning a good yarn and for providing with us with sympathetic and engaging primary characters. However, while the story did unfold seamlessly for most of the book, once the scene of action changed from the country to London, I did think that things began to lag a bit. I didn't think that there was any good reason why it took until the third chapter from the end for Marianne to confront her detractors and successfully defend her right to run her own estate. Also, while I truly did sympathise with Marianne for all that she gone through (and believe me, she has survived and experienced a great deal of cruelty, brutality and grief), I found myself growing a little impatient with our heroine's reluctance to face her fears. Perhaps it is because this coincided with the sudden bogging down of the storyline? Whatever the reason, I did wish that Marianne had started showing a little more backbone and grit earliar than she did.

On the whole, "Kindred Spirits" was a wonderful read, and one (despite the few niggles) that I would have no trouble recommending.


Lane Bryant: Fashion Math Make over
Published in Paperback by Dell Pub Co (June, 1987)
Average review score:

A VERY HELPFUL BOOK WHICH DESERVES AN ENCORE
I recieved this book second-hand and it was already a few years old but the information it contained was very helpful. At the time I was a teenager and I was struggling to create an image for my self. I was overweight and found it difficult put together a wardrobe for myself without spending a lot of money. This book helped me a lot. The tips that I learned from this book have helped me to this day and have also led me to a career in the fashion industry. Although the book was published in the 80's, the basic information is still current. Many current magazines (as well as books)have articles based on the same premise as this book. Lane Bryant should publish an updated edition.


The Lane Victory: The Last Victory Ship in War and Peace
Published in Hardcover by Glencannon Press (01 August, 1997)
Author: Walter W. Jaffee
Average review score:

If you're thinking about it, buy it!
Excellent book. It just about tells you everything you need to know about the Lane Victory. Packed with photos, operational history and usefull info. The only thing I can think of that I would have liked better was the description of how they got her operational again in the 1990's. I was hoping for a little more information on how they got the Main Engines and equipment running. Beggers can't be choosers but for the price that would have made it 5 stars. All in all a valuable reference.
