Charles Williams Books

Barbara Walker's books are the best reference books a knitter can have. They are all packed full of good information that is easy to understand. I use them for reference, inspiration, and to help me translate something that I don't understand in knittintg pattern directions. I like this book very much. There are tips to teach you to change colors without making a jog in your knitting, ideas about how to use color, how to "carry" the yarn as you go, and many more. A great reference book.

This is a book about love, violence, the outsider against society: the forbidden love of Tristan and Isolde, the problem violence in Boiardo's Orlando in Love, Ariosto's analysis of women and society, Spenser in Ireland, and Shakespeare's use of the old romance trope of the custom of the castle.

The classics of medicine version of this book based on the 1628 original publication is by far the most desirable edition of this book, (short of owning the original, not likely for most of us) here is your opportunity to own a handsome facsimile of the original book,
This special edition books were printed in 1978 for members of the classics of medicine library, these were numbered books and they are difficult to acquire below the number 10,000 we currently have number 3758 available, this would be a wonderful edition to any collection.

Charles Chappell does an excellent job solving some of William Faulkner's mysteries in various works. Weaving together humorous anecdotes and imaginative fictional characters, Chappell offers new insights into Faulkner's classics. A must read for Faulkner enthusiasts.

Well. Here I am writing a review for another poetry book ranked vanishingly low in the Amazon sales ranks.

Too bad. Especially for such an unexpectedly good read.

Frederick Turner is a poet whom I've enjoyed particularly for his boldness in crossing boundaries of "genre" in his narrative poetry - he writes book-length SciFi epics in verse. The tricky bit, as you can imagine, is that very (very!) few readers of poetry would skance to glance at science fiction. Hence Turner's marvelous epics go hugely unread and vastly under-enjoyed.

William Heyen has taken a similar, anti-commercial path with this book. How many readers of poetry have had even the slightest interest in the pathetic, media-hyped fairyless-tale of Lady Di and the royals? Conversely, how many of those interested in the latter eagerly await the next issue from BOA Editions !? Like me, you probably could not help but have noticed the Di-Charles saga any more than you could have missed noticing the OJ chase. But certainly one wasn't going to expect serious poetry under such a guise!

Nevertheless, here it is: the royal duo refracted through a strange and fascinating prism. Somehow, Heyen pulls it off. I have no idea if any of the principals are actually the people portrayed here - but the latter are certainly more interesting human beings than those splattered around by the papparazzi.

Consider, for instance, how Heyen approaches the third of his trinity - the queen. She is mostly portrayed in his verse as the young proto-princess Lilibet. Somehow Heyen's approach to parsing elements of that little girl's transformation into the iconic royal visage we see waving her way through the crowds sets the stage for a closer sympathy for the more troubled pair at the heart of the story.

And story it is... Only poetry could jump and skip and fake and whirl to pull a selection of vignettes from those three lives that has a narrative pull but a human flow. In 300-odd double quatrains Heyen manages to tell a story that is steeped in the spans of time within which these royals exist but rich in a sense of their humanity.

Although Diana, the icon, gains some third dimensionality from the portrayal, it is Charles who grows out of the page the most. One would have had to live on another planet for the past two decades not to have absorbed an overall sense of the future king as, at best, a shallow character. Heyen will turn your view around.

Of course, as I mentioned above, none of the trio might actually have ever resembled the characterizations that Heyen weaves. And doubtless we all, in a thoughtful moment, had probably already given at least internal assent to the notion that there must be more to these people than meets the front page. Heyen's real accomplishment is in using a truly different form to twist the reader around to reconsider how real life is - even life lived among the unreal.

Book is an inadequate description. I like the term manuscript. Lately I've been having a problem with my neck--Dr. Golf has an answer.Sometimes I have a problem with my soul--Dr. Golf has an answer. The ultimate endeavor will survive the latest aberations of hype. Dr. Golf must continue to publish.

you're book helps out alot of people.we are all very happy that you are able to help those in need.keep up the good work.thanks.kwest crystal,mi

I remember finding this book in my mom's collection back when I was about 7 or 8 yrs old, and it's probably the reason I became a horror reader. The stories are all well-known classics (The Monkey's Paw being my favorite of the bunch), but it's the artwork that makes this a must-have. Each story is beautifully/grossly illustrated, and if they wouldnt scare guests, I'd frame the pages themselves! (Ya I'm sick!) If you can find it, get it!

This is an excellent booklet on fossil hunting. It gives you a background on fossils, tips on where to look for fossils, and the tools that will be needed. The booklet then gives you information on common Illinois fossils via text and pictures.

I would recommend this booklet to anyone interested in fossil hunting.
