Ohio Books

Wow! This is an epic tale of everything there is to know about Ohio politics -- featuring all there is to know about the Governors, legislators, and average citizens of the Buckeye state. In this book readers will find the "real story" behind the headlines. The pages turn like a thriller -- I heartily endorse it!

This is a must-read if you like mysteries! The story is non-stop action with an unpredictable plot. Don't try to guess what is going to happen next....you will be fooled! Mr. Dupuy has managed to weave a lot of Polish history and even the Kennedy assasination into his book. His characters are all interesting and the reader gets to know them all quite well. I am looking forward to reading more of Mr. Dupuy's work.

Great Calender! Great action shots of the previous seasons biggest name players. Great color photographs. Great in office or home. Great Collectable. I have all the the Ohio State football calenders from this series for the last 4 years.

State Parks listed alphabetically. Each includes camping, fishing, hiking, day trips, and much more. A map shows where in Ohio each park is. Very comprehensive. There are some phone numbers that have out dated area codes. Great resource.

I was thrilled to come upon this book. It is nearly impossible to find a comprehensive guide or directory about tea rooms. I knew of my local ones, but not statewide here in Ohio. Rebecca includes photos of the tea rooms she has discovered along with descriptions of the proprietors, the shops hours, types of foods, reservations required, handicapped accessible and locations. Very thorough and a nice handbook to have on hand for your next trip in Ohio!

Mark Homan is my teacher so I'm a little biased. His book is very straight-forward, easy to read, and funny. It is definitely a must-read if you are going into the Social Services field. A lot of what Mark talks about in his books are common sense, but they are things that people don't generally spend a lot of time thinking about. Mark uses his 25+ years of experience to give us a lot of valuable advise.

The Ohio Theatre was built by Loew's for United Artists studios in the late 1920s and still stands there today. A beautiful building, the Spanish Baroque interior is an amazing sight to see with its ornate details and plush seating. The moving organ chamber and daunting stage area now exhibit live performances and in the summer are featured in CAPA's movie series for classic films.

This book commemorates an amazing piece of history right in the heart of Columbus. The building was meant to be torn down, an event that would have taken away years of fond memories and history. The first film shown at the Ohio Theatre was The Divine Lady, Greta Garbo's only lost film. Stars like Jean Harlow and Conrad Nagel made appearances there. Judy Garland played ping pong with local boys in one of the many leisure rooms after one of her appearances. Over time, the scenery around the theatre changed, but the theater did not. Unfortunately, the public changed too, and after several decades, the property was sold and was scheduled to be demolished. But then something wonderful happened. The public began to protest and rise up against such drastic action. They raised tens of thousands of dollars to save the property and invested even more time and money to restore it back to its original splendor.

The Theatre could be compared with the Cinema Paradiso in the film of the same name, only this one is real. And it was saved. Here is it's story told through photographs and by those involved in its history.

This is a wonderfully written book with beautiful illustrations. A pleasure to read to your child!

This is a moving and sometimes hillarious story of the life and history of a small town in America. In so many ways it's just like all small towns, and it pulls one into the characters of the individuals in the town as well as the character of the town. If you live in one of America's wonderful small towns, you'll recognize many of the people as you read.

Speaking as an OU alum, this book tells it like it is. A must read for incoming freshmen!
