Happily Ever After (Sabrina, the Teenage Witch: Salem's Tails No 9)
Published in Paperback by Simon Pulse (November, 1999)
Author: Nancy Krulik
Average review score:

Cute book!
When Sabrina wants to see the Crushing Oranges concert, she bribes Salem into babysitting her cousin, Ally. Ally pushes Salem into Sabrina's magical storybook. He gets stuck in the story until he meets a genie and asks him to take him to the rabbit hole. But the golden goose was overlapping Alice in Wonderland and Salem was stuck with the golden goose. Poor Salem! But Sabrina (as usual) came to the rescue. I thought this book was so cute. Salem once again has gotten himself into trouble, even though it was sort of Ally's fault. I highly recommend it!


The Journey: A History of the African American Experience
Published in Paperback by Kendall/Hunt Publishing Company (August, 1997)
Author: Dorothy Salem
Average review score:

A colorful tapestry of people and heart stinging stories
Dorothy Salem is a talented story teller whose penchant for dispelling myth remains the reader's constant companion. "The Journey" is a two part series of texts spanning 300 years of African American experience. While weaving in and out of a traditional American historical timeline, "The Journey" chronicles dynamic social movement in Black America. The reader is introduced to Harlem's glory days in the 1920's and feels a forboding sense of tension as the ground work is laid for the explosion of the civil rights movement. Salem's "Journey" makes a vital connection between the seeming chasm of white and black America. Finally, a journey toward holistic American history. Bravo.


Kuwait Traditions : Creative Expressions of a Culture

Author: Altaf Salem al Sabah
Average review score:

excellent introduction to Kuwaiti Culture
This is a classic book to me as a Kuwaiti. it's rich, informative, and the print is incredibly attractive.

i have purchased this book three times from amazon to my over seas friends, and i've bought two from local shops to friends near by. there is no better way to introduce the culture of Kuwait.
if you are still stuck with a steroetype image of Kuwaitis, this is your chance to lose it!


The Last Days of Big Grassy Fork
Published in Hardcover by University Press of Kentucky (January, 2002)
Author: Hunter James
Average review score:

Fighting Urban Sprawl
This work should be of more than passing interest to those who more and more find themselves beset on every side by urban sprawl. The author sets out in many ways to preserve an old family homestead; but, more important, seeks ways to make the place profitable. His attempts are often hilarious, the more so when they fail, and they never lack meaning for others who share his feelings about the need for ways to protect ourselves from the menace of an urbanization that has rapidly got out of contol.


Moi, Tituba, sorcière-- : noire de Salem : roman
Published in Unknown Binding by Mercure de France ()
Author: Maryse Condé
Average review score:

Magnifique!
Ce livre etait magnifique; puissant, profond, triste au meme temps qu'optimistique. On peut vraiment comprendre le personnage de Tituba, on peut suivre ses sentiments d'isolation et ses difficulties avec la religion et la sexualite dans une societe chretienne. Je le recommende pour ceux qui aiment un bon livre francais.


The Mommy Book

Author: Cheryl P. Salem
Average review score:

Pray With Power
Cheryl, a former Miss America and now teacher, evangelist, singer, and mother of three, teaches mothers how to impart spiritual truths directly into their children's spirits through the Holy Spirit and prayer. An interesting concept, and she has certainly proven it through scripture, and the results she has seen in her children's lives as well as the lives of others.

Our Silent Neighbors a Study of Gravestones in the Old Salem Area
Published in Paperback by Peabody Essex Museum (June, 1991)
Author: Betty Bouchard
Average review score:

A treasure of knowledge
This book is a must-have for anyone interested in Salem and/or turn-of-the-century cemetaries.

Betty covers it all: the symbology of gravestone symbols; locations of some historic cemetaries and the history of some of their inhabitants; how gravestones were made; and much more. Well-illustrated with clear, detailed photographs, I personally couldn't ask for a better reference book.


Plato's Sophist: The Professor of Wisdom
Published in Paperback by Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Company (01 June, 1996)
Authors: Eva T. Brann, E. Salem, and Peter Kalkavage
Average review score:

Good translation
This is a very good translation for people reading the Sophist for the first time. The language is accessible (as much as it can be considering that this is one of the most difficult dialogues). Other translations of the dialogue are either written in archaic English or have other purposes. Benardete's is excellent, but it is for studying, not reading.

The introduction also gives a very nice outline of the dialogue.
