The Book of America: Inside the Fifty States Today
Published in Hardcover by W.W. Norton & Company (June, 1983)
Authors: Neil R. Peirce, Jerry Hagstrom, Neal R. Peirce, and Neal R. Pierce
Average review score:

A Superb State-by-State Tour of America in the 1980's!
Have you ever wanted to travel to all fifty states? Unless you're wealthy (or have a-lot of free time on your hands) this marvelous book will allow you to do so without ever leaving the comfort of your armchair. Inspired by John Gunther's classic 1947 work, "Inside America", this book's two authors personally traveled to all fifty states in the late seventies and early eighties. They traveled throughout each state and visited its' major cities, interviewed as many citizens, political and business leaders as they could, and then produced this book. The result is a unique and insightful look at America in the early 1980's (and much of the information they provide is still relevant today). Yet this book is far more than a simple travelogue or list of facts. The authors cover - and often in surprising detail - virtually every facet of life in all fifty states. The politics, regional differences, history, culture, geography, scenic spots, problems, and more info about every state are discussed. To cite just one example (or state): Have you ever wanted a "bird's eye" tour of New York City and its' boroughs? Then it's all here - the ethnic neighborhoods, the history of each borough, the sports teams, the city's politics, the nightclubs, etc. It's like visiting New York in your living room. Yet in the chapter on New York you'll also get a tour of the city's suburbs on Long Island; the dairy and farming country of the upstate, the majestic "Finger Lakes" region and the Adirondack Mountains in the upstate, and a completely seperate section on the state's "second-tier" cities from Albany to Rochester and Buffalo - all in a single engrossing chapter! You'll learn why New York City almost always votes Democratic, while upstate New York usually votes Republican. The book is rarely boring, as the authors are witty and not afraid to tease: "Texas, that braggart of American states...". One of the author's interesting discoveries is that America's regional differences are still strong and lively, despite the mobility of the American people (for proof of regional differences, just look at the 2000 presidential election)! To be sure, some of their info is now dated, such as when they discuss the phenomenal popularity of the TV show "Dallas" overseas (that, of course, is in the chapter on Texas). But overall this is still a superb, one-of-a-kind look at America that you won't find anywhere else. Highly Recommended!


The Bottom Line Is Money: A Comprehensive Guide to Songwriting and the Nashville Music Industry
Published in Hardcover by Bold Strummer Ltd (December, 1994)
Authors: Jennifer Ember Pierce and A. Miccinello
Average review score:

"Bottom Line" is on the money
I keep my coffee stained,dog-eared copy of Jennifer's book "The Bottom Line is Money" close by as a permanent part of my library on songwriting. I have read it now so many times and gone back using it as a reference, that the cover looks terrible..I've retreived it from the trash bin when my wife has tried to throw out(thinking it was ready to discard) I think that if you aspire to write songs this is a have to have tool and guide to follow. I'm adding all of Jennifer Ember Pierce's books to my list,and I'd like to thank her for such a thoughtful & complete effort for the sake of the love & craft of songwriting. Michael Harris Watson

Engaging BunBun
This is my 20 month old daughter's favorite book. She will not go to bed at night unless we read it several times first. Great illustrations and cute characters. Definitely a hit with small readers.


Bunbun, the Middle One

Authors: Sharon Pierce McUllough and Sharon Pierce McCullough

Great Book!
My son is almost 7 months old and loves looking at the bright and colorful pictures that go along with the charming story. We have real bunnies so the book is very interesting to him. A cute story especially if you have a middle child.


Burgers (Comfort Classics)
Published in Hardcover by Andrews McMeel Publishing (July, 1900)
Authors: Charles Pierce and Smallwood & Stewart
Average review score:

Most savory burgers I've laid eyes on, and sank teeth into.
If you're looking to spruce up a hum-drum summer picnic at the park, or lake, or where ever it might be, the burger recipes in this book can't lose.

For me, pictures are very important in a cook book, and this one is loaded with hi resolution color photos. It gives you a clear visual understanding of how the burger should look in addition to just the recipe.

I would reccomend this book to any burger connoisseur as a must for the beef eater's recipe library.

Average review score:

Nice, handy and unexpensive
This little book of stickers contains a good number of motifs and the quality is good. I've used some of them for pin badges, others on a decoupage project, and they look good, are good designs, and are printed in good paper.
