Ohio Books

Brilliant! This book is eye-opening about antebellum politics and it is amazing the way Maizlish is able to reveal so much from focusing on Ohio. This book will settle all those questions you had about the rise of sectionalism that kept you up at night. The writing is also excellent. Makes you want to meet Maizlish and talk to him.

The style of this poetry is unique to this author; the poems use few words to interpret vast feelings. While much poetry describes the writer's perception of things, this poet has an uncanny ability to actually illustrate, in verse, the intense feelings we all experience in life.

I purchased this book for my father, who grew up in Mineral City in the 40s and 50s. He is in his 70s now. He said it was like looking through an old school yearbook. He could tell a story about each picture in the book. And everytime he looked through it, he found something new. It has been a better gift than I could have imagined as it has brought back so many good memories for my father.

This book is very interesting and well written. It has pictures which is a good plus. The thing that makes this a good, spooky book is that the stories are local. They are stories that could be similiar right in your own home town. What also makes it a good book is that it was written by someone who lives in the area where the stories take place and he is also the county historian, so the stories come pretty much straight from the source. This is a great book I very much reccomend it.

First off, let me tell you that the name of the book is The Unofficial (not a Visitor's) Unofficial Guidebook to Paramount's Kings Island. And it is a fantastic book, even better than The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World because:

1. It was endorsed by the park.
2. It has pictures given by the park.
3, It has the official park map.

The unofficial Disney books don't have those 3 things. My wife and I visit Paramount's Kings Island with our 3 kids twice a year and can never seem to do what we want. The park is 364 acres big and has way too many rides and attactions. This book broke everything down for us. It has chapters on lodging, dining in and out of the park, shows, rides and even shopping. Plus there's a history chapter that I found educational.

My wife and I are taking a trip to Kings Island this weekend and while we wait on line with our impatient little ones, we'll read this book. It taught us a lot about Kings Island and even provided logistical tour plans for folks like us and folks without rugrats. My hat goes off to the author! ..., this was a bargain and a great souvenir.

You may now possess a book banned by the national noncensorship committee at the Library of Congress, through use of the national library database. Online Union Control, or alternately, Prism. As of July 1, 1996, "Defrauding America", by Rodney Stich, and my book departed the "subject" search heading, Judicial Corruption, as well as an entire search heading, Elections-Corrupt Practices, along with the title, Votescam, by Jim and Ken Collier, left the national literary database, WorldCat , used by libraries and book stores across the nation. And of course, you won't hear about our government using the L.o.C. computer database to politically censor our literature(NEWS) by reading our monopoly Advertpaper(s). This book involves what became the legalized alteration of public records(the cash cow for judges in the United States for the last 35 years), the federal witness "protection" program. The subpoenaed witness "disappeared", more providentially than the court's duty to enforce the subpoena and my witness's right to be free and to invoke his desire to testify, sans interference, concerning the indiscretions of a few judges.

After the subpoenaed witness was disappeared, so that he could not testify against the judge(John F. Corrigan), and after the Cleveland FBI cell explained to the author that interfering with a witness was not a crime, and after the Ohio eighth district appellate court with John F. Corrigan(in his only case as an appellate court judge and as the presiding appellate judge) was unable to see the error in the municipal court that had saved his worthless being, and after the author had gone to the state supreme court with his petition, and after his home had been violated in order to remove evidentiary materials damaging to the state and federal attorneys' general offices by the state Bureau of Criminal(!) "Investigation", per orders(verifiable by the venues police chief[no search warrant]) by Thomas J. Moyer(chief "justice" of the Ohio state supreme court), the author could sense there was some factor which was far more pervasive and ominous than just his own inability to obtain his enjoining of a hospital in a criminal prosecution, concerning their beating of a patient and starving to death of another victim in Marymount deathpital. The BCI searched the author's home and seized the original document, but they failed to anticipate the copies of the original, which appear in the book, "Up-Front Sleeper". If you find this difficult to believe, you're controlled by that entity which is supposed to divulge this stuff(information), our monopoly FREEcensoredPRESS.

When the author finally realized there was a pattern of general denial of his rights to judicial remedy, in effect protecting the Corrigan cabal, the idea developed to try to interest the federal superior court, through one of its justices(Souter), to hear a case where the state of Ohio's supreme court had denied a citizen his fifth, sixth, seventh, and later, his first and fourth amendment rights. The author published the book with the intent to deluge the federal supreme court, as well as other targets, with copies of the NEWSBOOK. Check out the Preface, in the book, to see how that attempt fared!

All public libraries, in the state of Ohio, were told, by their STATE liebrary board, to remove all copies of this book from their shelves, with the implied threat that any who did not comply would pay with their jobs. The state of the origin of votefraud, Florida, and Ohio are the only two states so blessed with such boards.

This true story is a demonstration of what is now occurring, when our Press)or our libraries) no longer perform the vital function of informing our electorate of the actions of a nefarious government, when our FREE PRESS is no longer numerous, competitive and responsive the needs of a self governing society. The seven major points illustrated and discussed by the book are as follow:

(1) The Attorneys' General windfall in altering public records-precursor to the now legal federal witness protection program. So now, the federal agents, in this conspiracy to enable judges to continue to take bribes, cannot be prosecuted. That was the only purpose for this act, to protect cooperative federal judges and clerks, not witnesses. State judges can continue to take bribes to disappear witnesses, even if the witnesses never testify. It's all so neat. BIG Money for the attorneys general. And you'll never know who the vast number of these witnesses are. The bar governs what the press can divulge, of course. If you don't believe me, try telling this news, as did the author;

+ our ever lovin' ex-Willie, how many of our federal supreme court "justices" are ex state attorneys general?

(2) Conflict of interest in our Congresses-the Bar's member legislators and why they misrepresent the vast majority by serving-guess whom(?), in our law creating legislatures;

(3) Our corrupted judicial network, who now invoke injustice as "business as usual";

(4) The Justice department's anti-trust division's allowance of our First amendment right to a free, competitive P4ress-our most crucial right- to expire. Time may be past to resurrect our ability to be an informed electorate. Online Computer Library Center, located in the heart of it all, Dublin, Ohio, with 98%(1996 claim) of public libraries and book stores subscribing, is currently censoring(restricting) their computer display of our Libraries' holdings, as a further assault on the First. Access, in effect, denied;

(5) Blatant(only when publicized) obstruction of the process of justice by the "investigatory staff" of Justice, the Federal Bureau of "Investigation", patterned after the Russian czarist secret police, the Checka, in 1909, by Theodore Roosevelt, and by the adjunct to our state's attorney's general office, the Bureau of Criminal "Investigation" (more accurately, the CBI);

(6) Civil rights vs. Government sanctioned psychiatric abuse; and,

(7) Ohio's fraudulent state medical licensing board-self regulation parodied-your safety compromised on a grand scale, with the complicity of our oligarchic,
nondemocratic government.
Global censorship is a logical progression in the scheme of information control.

Both of my parents came from a typical North-Western Ohio farm community and were born in the early 1910's so this book held a special interest for me. It gave an insight to their childhood and surroundings.

Cincinnati is home to Irish, Poles, Italians, Greeks, and even nowadays, Mexicans, Arabs, Cambodians and Russians, but at its heart, it is a German town. There were Germans in Cincinnati as early as 1796, but they came here in huge numbers in the 1840's and through hard work and honesty, changed this river city forever. This book, part travelogue, part local history 1788 to the 1960's, is an area classic. There is much about your own neighborhood you aren't aware of, and after reading Mr. Perry's lighthearted prose tour, you'll know more. From Bucktown (about where The Great American Ballpark is now) the "murder capital of America" in the 1870's, to the Courthouse Riots of 1883, the floods of 1913 and 1937, the building of the first concrete skyscraper and founding of the first Jewish college in America, to the disdainful arrival of Charles Dickens, the history of this stolid old city has never been so funny or so likable.

despite the publishing date, this is still a basic reference for the field botanist working in Ohio. It is also accessible to the knowledgeable amateur. It is compact and easy to carry into the field. For amateur's interested in wildflowers, use in conjunction with Newcomb's Wildflower guide, since there are no photo's or pictures.

I didn't start OSU until 93 but my brother was there during Potshots run in the Lantern. I would enjoy when he would bring home the Lantern so I could read it. Then he got me the book for Christmas. I still enjoy reading the book almost 20 years after it was published.
