Browning Books

The warmth of these characters drew me in from the start. I loved both the hero and heroine, and adored the secondary character, Miss Manie. I especially liked the heroine who was smart and sassy and very honest. Good book to relax with for an evening.

An unlikely heroine, a storybook hero, TEXAS MILLIONAIRE has all the elements I love in a romance. Glitz and glamour are only bit players. This is a character-driven story, one I think you'll enjoy if you like warm, witty stories told with a strong Southern accent.

Hank is an attractive Texas hero, and Callie is a refreshing young woman. Her Aunt Manie is a meddler of the most entertaining variety. This book has lots of surprises. I loved it.

Have read many art books over many years and found this to be one of the best dialogues on values I ever read. Color harmony, placement and conceptual input very useful to experienced artist. Artists works are lively with color and represent a skilled painter of people and places.

This is a book for anyone interested in improving their painting skills. There are a thousand books on art technique out there, but this one is a gem. Whatever your skill level, if your interest is traditional, representational painting, there is something to be learned here. I've been painting seriously for ten years, and I've never seen the basics so clearly explained. We all need to bust ourselves back down to fundamentals from time to time, and this book does it in a way that is a true pleasure.

This one goes right up there with the Andrew Loomis books and Richard Schmid's Alla Prima.

This book is great for advanced coaching techniques. I would highly recommend it to all high school and college coaches. Great depth and visuals.

Having now attended a NIKE Coach of the Year Clinic I can say that the books are almost as good as being at the clinic. The information is timely and illustrations are included. If you want the input of the top coaches in the game this is the book to get!

this books is very good!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like the "Coaching by the Experts" Series and this is my favorite so far. After two years of running an 8 man front, cover 3 defense we switched to the 4-3 because of its simplicity and flexibility. This book details how many different directions your 4-3 can go. From names like Jackie Sherill and George Perles to Dave Wannstedt. Though only one chapter was used to discuss any in-depth coverage philosophies, this is another excellent resource book showing how many different ways the 4-3 can be played.

Having been brought up on the notion that Elizabeth Barrett Browning was the slighter and less-talented adjunct poet of her husband Robert, I was pleased to find I was wrong.

She's terrific.

This is a brilliant work, full of dazzling poetry and insights.

It's loaded with allusions and references (I read the Penguin edition; and the notes there run for many, many pages--and these barely skim the surface), but it is remarkably accessible and fun.

This is a work full of wisdom and unusual perspectives. Luminous and grand and down-to-earth all at once. Imagine Jane Eyre written by Shakespeare.

It's an education in Victorian (upper-middle-class) England, and also the Victorian English infatuation with Italy. It's also a biting and incisive feminist portrait, full of rebellion and self-discovery.

I strongly recommend it to anyone who likes poetry, or Victorian novels.

E.B.B. set out to outstrip Milton and does so in an amazingly original way. Aurora Leigh is a novel in blank verse that is actually longer than Paradise Lost! She combines the genre expectations for a woman writer--the novel--with an audacious bid for poetic immortality. The book tells a good story but it also works as a formidable reminder to her contemporary poets that the novel is taking over and poets must make sure that they are writing in the spirit of the age.

A murder, a mystery, lots of humour, and the undiluted animal magnetism between Carson Beckett and indepenent Kit Chandler Dixon make this book difficult to put down after just one chapter. I didn't read long before both Carson & Kit were fully-fleshed 3 dimensional characters. Colorful, artistic Kit, with her lovely Ladybug (VW) and red hair settles into a quiet life on the intercoastal waterfront, writing and illustrating children's books. Carson Beckett, a detective recovering from injuries, uses his time off to travel to NC to find the remaining Chandler heir and settle a generations-old debt. When Kit witnesses a murder, her life is tossed upside-down and an encounter with Beckett grows into an unexpected, unavoidable romance. I enjoyed this book.

This book definitely stands alone. It's got everything--family relationships, jazzy dialog, sex, and humor that borders on the slapstick, but it never quite goes over the line. The characters, even the bit players, come alive and you're with them every step of the way. In a word, I'd call Beckett's Convenient Bride terrific!

I was tired and stressed, and I picked up this book. Within the first pages I was captured, taken away into an amusing and warm tale. Jackson and Hetty, all the characters are so real. The story is very much like a really good romantic movie. Loved it.

A BRIDE FOR JACKSON POWERS is the perfect antidote for winter blahs, especially after the recent snow and ice storms. It could have happened to anyone, but when it happens to the kind of people Browning is famous for creating, it's fun--pure, unadulterated fun!

Hurry and write another book Dixie, Spring hasn't sprung yet.

From a Tar Heel fan who would rather read than fly.

B J Carr has given us an excellent book to read. I found it to be most interesting from the start to the finish. Well written,and was presented in a manner which was quite beliveable.

I love the way BJ Carr writes. The way she explains and describes everything gives us a clear picture of where the people are, what they are doing, and what they are like. I had a hard time putting this one down.

Finally a historical book written by an author who has first hand and pratical knowledge of subject. A US Army machine gunner writing about US Military machine guns....that is few and far between. The book is chalked full of insights, stories, and facts about all the Browings used in US service. Outstanding!

Mr. Goldsmith's work in research, documentation, and putting it together in print is nothing short of AMAZING! The details that surround the Browning Machine gun, it's origins, troubles, and eventual acceptance by the Ordinance Corps is documented completely and in amazing detail.
Pictures of concept guns, one-offs, and prototypes augment the complete photographic record of each and every variant of the BMG series machine guns.

Dolf is an amazing source of knowledge, and this is merely volume I of a 3 part series!

Ms. Bauer's books are so good. You sit down with her book and you don't quit until you are done. This is her third book and I have yet to set one a side to finish later. You can't go wrong.

"A Case of the Chameleon Trap" is a page turner, and an easy read. A good story, with interesting characters, reads fast, with never a dull moment. I look forward to more of Ms. Bauer's work.
