Knowledgeably written by Kathy-Jo Wargin and expertly illustrated by Gisjbert Van Frankenhuyzen, The Edmund Fitzgerald: The Song Of The Bell is the suspenseful picture book retelling of the doomed voyage of a ship and the tragic end for the 29 men aboard it. Told with compassion and historical accuracy, this true story concludes with the retrieval of the ship's bell from the ocean depths and the placing of it in the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point, Michigan, so that the loved ones of those who died with the sinking of that great ship could have a place to go and remember their cherished memories of those who were lost.

"Eight Bells is the story of Gallery's life in the Navy. The things that happened were enough for three careers. With his brash and breezy writing style, his rapid-fire quips and his irreverent comments, he has produced a book which will not disappoint those who have come to expect high-spirited rollicking, entertainment from him." -- Navy News

"As exciting as fiction... his book is witty, improbable and outrageous." -- St. Louis Globe Democrat

On almost every page the author induces a smile, a grin and sometimes a downright belly laugh... The reader will find this really down to earth story a real treat." -- Virginia Pilot

"DAN GALLERY IS AN ADMIRABLE ADMIRAL.." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer

What a wonderful book! Arline Fisch is just the best when it comes to making elegant jewelry in a far from ordinary way. Her designs are spectacular. What an inspiration. This book will also look great on the coffee table.

I'm building a useful studying frame for my master thesis. I don't want to spend too much on art and just try to get some little but important knoeledge. There are some ideas in this book. It describe the basic theory in the simple way.

An Embarrassment of Tyrannies incites true sympathy for the ideas that these authors are working so hard to bring forth. This book is a definite for anyone interested in the censorship of literature and free expression.

Jackie Gay and Julia Bell have put together a stunning collection - the stories originating from all over the counties of England.
If like you do happen to be English, there's simply no need to question your cultural identity anymore... the writers are able to clearly define the most pressing issues of their locality, familiarising the reader with their surroundings and history.
This book includes probably the funniest story of all time (written by Alexi Sayle) about the trials of travelling in London.

I love this book not because its subject--bells, their manufacturing process, their transformation into the musical instrument, carillon--is something I have ever even thought much about. I love it because I have never, in my 50-plus years of being an avid book reader, encountered comparable sublime writing. There is a rhythm, an almost transcendental pulse running through the pages--you cannot put the book down. The story--both the elegantly interwoven author's and her father's personal and professional one--is so tantalizingly well written, orchestrated like a grand symphony. Before you realize it, even the somewhat esoteric subject grabs you and you end up knowing and understanding an entire area of facts and figures, a whole landscape of intricate elements that were heretofore secrets. For anyone interested in creative writing at its absolute pinnacle, this book is a MUST READ.
