The book shipped quickly and was in great condition. I would recommend buying from this dealer.

GIANT flexes mad style in several mediums. First and foremost, he's got fine line tattoo flash art and tattoos down to a science and this book documents that work faithfully. What's the most amazing thing about the body of work in MANIFESTATIONS is that GIANT is also the master of pen and ink illustration (as seen in many of the Zines he put out through his own Skullz Press), has a dope graff style and has a good eye behind the camera lens as well.

Duhamel is by far the greatest female poet alive. Her witticisms are expertly crafted to give just the right zing to her poems. If one were to read the titles alone, they would get a taste for Duhamel's unique knack of capturing the true American speaker. Titles range from "When I Was a Lesbian" to "Seashore" with many in between. She holds nothing back in this incredibly humorous yet poignant account of everyday life. Get this book and get it fast. One more day without reading "Girl Soldier" is one day too many!

Duhamel explores the nature of what *the American Girl* is all about. Her savage undressing of the popular myths we live by are timely and impressive. American poetry needs more from this fine young poet

This is a very well written, light reading mystery. This book was very enjoyable to read. Henry and Emily have the most interesting/colorful neighbors. This book features a married couple, Henry and Emily Bryce. Without even trying, end up in the middle of a murder mystery. Link Simpson a good friend of Henry and Emily, who runs a gun and antique shop. Has a hysterical customer commit suicide with one of Link's guns. Or so the police thought.
If you enjoy a good mystery with a side of laughter, you will enjoy this book.

Born in 1908 in Fairmont, West Virginia, Margaret Scherf's father was a high school teacher. The family eventually moved to Montana, and Scherf graduated from high school in Cascade, Montana (which sounds lovely) and went on to Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. She left college before graduation to take a job as an editorial assistant with the Robert M. McBride publishing company in New York. She spent much of her life traveling, and also held positions as a secretary and copywriter before quitting to become a full-time writer. During World War II she took a job as Secretary to the Naval Inspector at Bethlehem Steel Shipyard in Brooklyn. She eventually returned to Montana and married at age 57, and was elected the same year as a Democrat of the Montana State Legislature.

Mrs. Otis Carver apparently shot herself in Link Simpson's gun shop after he had run up to Henry and Emily Bryce's apartment for help, as Madge was a decidedly depressed person. Her husband, Otis, didn't seem to grieve as he should, and then there was the matter of Lucille Marsh. Lucille was an "actress" being directed by Otis, and his caustic sarcasm forced her to collapse during a performance. Or did it. It is up to Henry and Emily to sort out the murder, based on their only evidence...a pink glove found in Link's shop after an apparent burglary:

"Henry didn't say anything, and Emily dialed Hilda's beauty shop across the avenue. 'Did you leave a pink cotton glove over here, Hilda?' Emily inquired. Hilda evidently said no, and Emily went on. 'I knew you didn't. They were the burglar's, but Henry hates to admit it because it was my idea.' Link came in as this conversation ended, and he had to be shown the glove and the invisible marks on the stairway. 'I don't want to make light of your interesting deductions, Emily,' he said, 'But I find the idea of a burglar in pink gloves a trifle bizarre.'"

Margaret Sherf's idea of great mystery writing consisted of entertaining people and keeping it light. She did this to perfection. The interaction between Emily (an gifted artist who dabbles as people eagerly wait for her projects to come to fruition) and husband Henry are hilarious and intentionally disjointed. Scherf wrote original, witty, and engrossing tales.

A boy named Claude and nicknamed "Skeeter" lives with his elderly uncle in a cabin in the Mississippi woods. They hunt for a living, buy staples at the general store and are able to just get by.

One day Skeeter sees a strange, beautiful little dog being chased by hounds. He watches the unusual creature who makes a melodious yodeling noise, cleans herself like a cat, sheds tears, laughs, and has a tightly curled tail. After warding off the pack of hounds, the strange little dog shyly approaches Skeeter. He befriends the little dog, whom he names Lady and teaches her how to hunt. In time, Lady is quite a remarkable bird dog, stunning people in the immediate community. A bright, spirited little dog, Lady proves herself to be an able hunter. She and Skeeter are inseparable. They are almost never apart.

Almost never, until...a neighbor reads about a missing basenji in the local newspaper. Skeeter is devastated by this as he loves the dog. A neighboring farmer who knew about Lady actually knew about basenjis and had hoped to catch Lady for the reward. He sees how much the basenji means to Skeeter and how the two have bonded. When confronted with the truth about Lady, the man tells Skeeter that he didn't have the heart to tell him the dog was missing and that he knew all along Skeeter couldn't keep her.

Skeeter is torn between returning the beautiful basenji to her rightful owners or keeping her. It is a very moving story about the love of a basenji. ...

This is truly a classic. Lady will find a permanent place in the hearts of all who read her story or watch the movie based on this wonderful book.

This book was in the juvenile literature section of a college library, but I could not locate it. So I asked the librarian about it and she checked and said the library had marked it to be discarded--even though colleges are more likely to keep a book than is the usual public library. So I was told I could have the book they were about to discard. I have read it and found myself extremely moved by the well-told story of a boy and his uncle in the swamp area of southern Mississippi. The boy finds a dog, a Basenji, no less, in the Mississippi swamp. The story of what follows is one that will live long in your memory. This is a most well worth reading book, and you will never regret taking the time to read it.

What a great book. I love the Cobra on the cover!! The book is full of great information. Sure wish we could go back to the days of real street racing! I think every who loves horsepower should read this book!

Very Enjoyable. If you grew up with vettes, stangs, or even an old cuda. You'll love it.

With the strongly defended city of Vicksburg refusing to bend to the pressures of Federal forces, especially Farragut's naval armada on the Mississippi River, an engineering enterprise was attempted with the building of a canal across the neck of the De Soto Peninsular, which would cut the city off from the river. Farragut would thus be able to bypass Vicksburg while placing the river in Union hands. David Bastian tells the story of this canal - its planning, digging (all by hand, most of it by Illinois and Ohio regiments, aided by confiscated slaves), and its ultimate failure (due mainly to it not being wide or deep enough). With the failure of the canal, the siege of Vicksburg set in.

Short and to the point, Bastian's account of Grant's Canal is a welcome addition to the literature detailing the activities around Vicksburg in 1862-63. Heavily illustrated, it also contains numerous maps and regimental summary reports of casualties caused by disease (by the end of the Vicksburg campaign only 37% of enlisted men were fit for duty). Recommended.

I'll take a look at David Bastian's coverage of the Union canal across De Soto point, which was built with the intent to bypass Vicksburg and make taking the city unnecessary for the control of the Mississippi River. As most students of Grant's Vicksburg Campaign already know, Grant's Canal ultimately failed during the war, although the Mississippi did change course in the 1870's, showing that what Grant wanted to accomplish was possible. Bastian is well-suited to write this book, as he is a Civil Engineer and a Canal specialist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Bastian, with his knowledge of Hydraulics, concludes that had the canal been dug to a depth of 11 feet and a width of 60 feet, the strength of the current would have eroded a permanent channel. Though the River later changed its banks, it did not use Grant's Canal to do so. It is an ironic footnote that Grant was President at the time of the River's change.

I enjoyed this short retelling of the efforts to dig a canal across the base of De Soto Point. The author writes in an engaging style and is as qualified as anyone to write this piece. The maps are numerous and give the reader a clear idea of what the Union troops were trying to do. I also managed to pick up a signed copy of the book, much to my delight. Although this is not the only monograph covering Grant's Canal (both Bearss' monumental 3-volume work on Vicksburg and a BGES pamphlet also do so to some extent), I would recommend picking this one up. Anyone interested in the Vicksburg Campaign or the war in the west should own a copy. 88 pp., 14 maps

truly captures the era and times. Makes me realize all that my forefathers' sacrificed and why we should fight to preserve the confederate flag so that they are not forgotten. Our heritage has been swept aside by so many who want to rewrite history, and we should not let that happen. This book is many true stories of a brave southern army who fought like no other before or since. southern army who fought against all odds.

I found this book to be the most informative about what it meant to be a cavalryman. The stories tell of hardship, devotion to their country, and gives a sense of being there where the action takes place.

I enjoyed this book. It is a quick read, great for an plane ride, but filled with interesting ideas, stories, & lessons.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading books on business/business related, especially those starting out.

I came across this book while searching for online publishing companies. This book is very interesting. The beginning chapter tells about him meeting a guy who swindles 5 million dollars a deal. He has people by a load of stock on a company thats bad and the stock is cheap. Then sells it keeping all the money. It tells all the stuff the author has come across in stock markets ansd stuff like that. It will make you think how you invest your money. I suggest you buy it.

I used this reader as a child in school and was absolutely enthralled with the pictures and the stories which were great too. After much searching, I bought one and plan on passing it on to my children; it's that special.

This book, as I remember it, is a children's chapter book. It is the first "real book" I ever read. I still remember the front cover of it. It will always be special to me.

My journey through Grey Pine with Phillip, a struggling young science teacher, was unsettling at times, but hugely rewarding. Winetsky has very effectively interwoven the darkness of mind and spirit that Phillip battles, with Nature's devastation following the eruption of Mount Saint Helens. The entire landscape is deeply covered in fine ash, and the sky never seems to clear. In this murky setting, Phillip is pummeled by life with an alcoholic and verbally abusive father, lost opportunities, and failing relationships. At times my frustration with his inability to move on - to make positive decisions - was strong, but Phillip does battle through - he finds the strength he needs within himself. This was a fine read.

Amidst the ashes, Phillip really wants to live and thrive and as I read deeper into the book, I couldn't help but cheer him on. The story is told from the "inner" voice of the main character. As read the first fifty pages, I wondered if I could keep up with the intensity of his voice, yet the more I read, the more I liked his character and wanted him to succeed in realizing himself. This book was a great read.
