While a few thumb worn copies of the original edition may show up at swap meets, it's cool to have a brand new copy that won't fall apart at the seams. It's not so much a history book but, rather a window that shows you how performance was accomplished long before anyone ever uttered the words "small block chevy". There are many techniques and parts vendors that have been lost with the ages. Some techniques are no longer practiced and it would be well advised to take caution with some of their advice. Let's face it in 1951, there were no shoulder harnesses or SRSes,and dashboards were steel, safety never really crossed their minds. Still, it's sure a fun book to have.

Keats is wonderful. However, a reason to purchase *this* version over other publications is because of Jack Stillinger. He was my english professor and the man is an expert on all things Keats. It was a pleasure learning from him and his essays are always worth reading.

The letters of Mary Baker Eddy to Augusta E. Stetson, C.S.D., written between 1889 and 1909, are reproduced from the Manuscript Collection in The Huntington Library, San Marino, California.

Stetson. Original publication of Emma Publishing Society. Burgundy cloth; color portrait; 113 pages; Emma Publishing Society, 1990.

A selection of the best of the world's literature from Homer to Finnegan's Wake, but what a selection! An odd criterion was adopted for the selection: each item of poetry or prose had to have been pronounced perfect or the greatest of its kind by some responsible critic. Thus we have this 2600-year-old fragment from Sappho "The moon has set and the Pleiades; it is the middle of the night and time passes, time passes, and I lie alone." And Aldous Huxley comments: "Not even the best of the Chinese could have said more in so small a compass."

The book includes the original languages, ancient Greek, Latin, Old and Middle English, Old French and German, Italian, Icelandic et al, followed by English translations and the remarks of the critic responsible for its inclusion among works that reach towards the "limits of art."

I have the original beautifully-crafted edition which I was lucky to get a few years back for about $70 at Princeton University Press but, alas, copies are now hard to find. Separate volumes of poetry, prose and criticism were more recently issued and these also are now scarce. This is a book that will still be prized centuries hence, a wonderful gift to be passed on to your grandchildren and to their grandchildren

A very detailed and accurate depiction of the origin of nuclear weapons, the arms race, nuclear proliferation, and history of nuclear weapons. A must read!

A man who has looked for meaning: in the debauched antics of youth drinking and sex, in his career, in his family, and in his writing. Despite all nothing fills the void and nothing meets the longing in his soul. Until he sees Christ in the poor peasant folk living in St Petersburgh. A very rich read and an example to us all.

"One Monday on Annabelle's farm, it was so windy, the tin roof banged like thunder. By afternoon the pigs' curly tails were straightened out like rulers..." So begins Amy Huntington's delightful and very descriptive picture book, One Monday. As the week progresses, so do the wind gusts. Carrots and turnips twist out of the garden, sunflower heads spin off like flying saucers, frogs surf on the waves in the water trough, and the big black spots blow off the cows. Finally on Sunday, the wind blows itself right out of town, and everything appears to be quiet and back to normal, until you turn the page. "The next day, Monday, it rained so hard..." Ms Huntington's simple and understated text is full of energy and motion. But she lets her bold, bright and expressive artwork really tell the story, and little ones will enjoy poring over the illustrations and finding all the charming, humorous, and silly details in each two page spread. Perfect for youngsters 3-7, One Monday is an engaging and entertaining treasure that shouldn't be missed.

This is a superbly printed collection of tritones from a photographer who obviously takes pride in how his work is presented in the printed media.As a fellow pressman with 16 years of 4 color process work behind me,hats off to the printer who put together this fine piece of printing.I also purchased Ansel Adams at 100 and on tehnical merits alone Orchestrating Icons is superior as i found several pages on the Adams book to be flawed by scumming and setoff.
A must buy for any one who appreciates sophisticated photo graphic images printed with care and attention .Bravo!!

This book is one every educator needs to read. I am surprised it is not a best seller. So much in education is theory. This is theory applied with impressive ACTUAL documented results. Anyone who truly loves children and cares about a quality education should read this heartwarming and dynamic account of a school that is accordilng to NEA Today, " Perhaps the best elementary school in the nation."

Written by a Carleton College prof not too long after the infamous raid, this book gives a clear picture of that fateful day, September 7, 1876. The title includes Hero because of Acting Cashier Joseph Lee Heywood's courage in not letting Frank & Jesse into the (unlocked) safe! Northfield and Carleton College would either be very different or would have become a ghost town and a failed college. Read the book and find out why Northfield celebrates the DEFEAT of Jesse James days every year the first weekend after Labor Day!
