Bryant Books

Great book!! If you love horses--and mystery--read it! It's the best saddle club book that I've read! Excellent book! I'm a huge Saddle Club fan, and I've read at least thirty of her books (even though I have plenty more of her books), personally I think this one is the best yet!
Bonnie did a good job with stable rat Veronica! Bragging that she's going to win the Mystery Weekend, but she gots horrid luck! It's just great! I couldn't put down the book! It also has you giggling from this page to that page!
If you love horses--READ IT!!!

This book was great. I love the Saddle Club. I don't like mystery books, so I wasn't excited about this book when I checked it out of my school library. But I was wrong. GREAT BOOK!! YOU SHOULD READ IT.

This is a great book! It keeps you on the edge of your seet the entire time!!I'm like Carol. I know alot about horses and this is my favorite SC ! Make sure when you read this, you have alot of time because you'll need to take a breather!

This SC book was one of the best!!! It's been awhile since I've read it, but I know it was great!!! I'm a HUGE SC fan, great work Mrs. Bryant!!! I'm VERY horse-crazy, but I don't know nearly as much as Carole does :o) I just started English ridding and I love it!!!

Pine Hollows is holding its annual Mystery Weekend the riders will sped the nights in the hayloft and during the day they must try to solve a mystery conceived by Max himself. But when valuable saddles are discovered missing it isn't a game anymore and the saddle club must track down the trail of a real thief.

I highly recommend this book! Beautifully written, easy to read. I am very happy withg this purchase.

Every child should receive this book in his/her Easter basket. It is a beautiful story of the power of unconditional love, forgiveness and hope. I plan to give it as an Easter present to all the kids in my life....big and little!

A very touching and heartwarming story that both my children and I could enjoy. This is the best animal book since the Velveteen Rabbit,

I am thrilled that after all the wonderful gifts of love and wisdom that Bernie Siegel has shared in his books with the adult world, that now children will have an inspiring roadmap to happiness just for them.As a veterinarian I greatly appreciate the special role animals play in Bernie's life, and his love for them comes through beautifully in his writing and superb illustrations. This book teaches children to always look for the gems in life no matter what the challenge, which I consider a profoundly important lesson whether your a kid or kid at heart!! Read this wonderful tribute to a special bunny and you'll enjoy every minute of it!!

Written for 4-8 year-olds, & exquisitely illustrated by Laura J. Bryant, SMUDGE BUNNY is a warm & playful teaching story.

RebeccasReads highly recommends Bernie's endearing, lasting tale of a rabbit who got lost. It will chase away the dark shadows & bring courage & joy to the Reader, no matter how old!

Lisa's parents are fighting and Lisa latches onto a stray horse at the local animal shelter. She feels that the horse needs her, when really she needs the horse, To keep her busy and make her feel usefull. When it seems like her world is totally out of her hands, Pj is something she has an effect on.

I havn't read Stray Horse yet, but it looks REALLY good! Although, i really hope that this isn't the last book in the series, becasue the Saddle Club is just TO GOOD to end. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON"T END THE SADDLE CLUB!
Although things that i think need imporoving are: More books with Phil, more funny bits, like, with Veronica or something. ALthough, i think the books need to have more in them. Everything happens in a short time, like HArd HAt for instance. When i read that, I felt as if i had only read about 6 chapters. Unless its just me, becasue i read pretty fast! hehe
It was a good book though!
Please take my thoughts into consideration Ms. Bryant!
Saddle Club Rules!!!!

This book was a good ending i think and it was sort of sad though. Lisa was so sure about PJ being the horse she wanted when he was taken away from her so fast! you can kinda of sense the end of the saddleclub while u read, but i also enjoy Pine Hollow, even though its mostly romance stuff. This is a good and really emotional book and it does leave u hanging and wondering if the end is near! buy it!

I am glad they finally made the 100th book in the regular line of the Saddle Club series. I only wish they would have made it a little more special, with something like stars, sparklies, and more pages to commemorate the 100th book. A good book overall, I almost cried when Lisa's parents told her the bad news, I felt for her.... If you are already a Saddle Club fan, then this book is alright.

What a moving book. Lisa's parents have just dropped a big bomb on her. Her parents are getting a divorce and she does not know how to deal with it very well. So she starts spending a lot of time at the local animal shelter where she becomes attached to a stray horse She names PJ and you'll just have to read the book to find out why she named him that. Stevie and Carole are doing the best they can to be supportive of their friend in her time of need. Can they help lisa come to terms with her Parnets divorce and the sudden arrival of Pj's Orginal owner? Just read this book and you will learn all the anwers. This book Really helps to Tie into the first book of the Pine hollow Series Called the Long Road Home. Be sure to read this one!!!! IT had me tears!

I put off starting to read Lynn's exerpt until I could give it my undivided attention, and I am glad I did! The first chapter pulls you in and won't let go! I want very much to know "what happens next!"

The Short is excellent and very written. The characters are believable as to what he is supposed to be.

i so love lynn v. sadler's work. lynn is elizaPress Publication's editor's pick for WRITER OF THE YEAR, 2007--and had offered this extraordinary story to our press--unless, of course, it wins here--and if it does, this prolific, award winning writer has hundreds more to choose from.... What i love about lynn's stories is that by reading them, complicated characters and rich, authentic, smart experiences are made visceral for the reader. i love that every piece of hers makes me smarter--reveals some actuality gleaned from academic research turned into something useful, inspirational and good. i love the energies between her characters, their loyalties and musings. i love the places i could never get to without the ways she creates them in words. i love the generosity of this writer--spilling out into classics of the modern kind. i love the wit and veracity of each imagined being created wholly through her words. i love the texture of time and space this well traveled author brings alive in her writing.

this is an extraordinary story as are all the ones she shared with us at elizaPress. to date, our books are sold exclusively through www.lulu.com/writressworder--and lynn has a significant body of work shared in all of them.

vote for her! pick her! she is a famous author waiting to be recognized! she is a clearly gifted storyteller--and one for OUR time.

with a wholehearted endorsement for this writer's work,

First, a disclaimer, we have over the years published two of Dr. Sadler's pieces. Her novella, "Foot Ways", was published last year. And in 2006 we published her poem, Again--'Les Fleurs du Mal' in "Bardic Tales and Sage Advice". So I suppose one could say I am very familiar with her work. I feel it important to state this up front in the interest of disclosure.

The excerpt of Dr. Sadler's novel does a fine job of highlighting her strengths as a writer. Sadler has an exceptional ability to create a strong sense of place for the reader. Using both distinctive sentence construction and authentic dialogue, readers are pulled into the world of her characters and can immediate develop empathy for them.

Sadler takes a non-linear approach to plot development, often jumping between the past and present as her characters move throughout the story. As the character of Deona Martindill considers her actions, we follow her thought processes back and forth between the present and the past. Deona Martindill's memories of her childhood don't just provide background filler for the story. They are a integral part of the story.

I am a fan of Dr. Sadler's storytelling technique. She has an original style that captures the essence of her characters and the world in which they live. The excerpt provided for her entry showcases her talents. We all wish her the best of luck in this competition.

Though the first paragraph was slightly complicated, I soon fell into the easy rhythm of the story and, as it went along, became increasingly intrigued as to where the author is going. The lifestyle described is interesting because it is so different from any experience I have had, yet I was easily able to become attached to the main character and be concerned for her immediate future (since her eventual future is suggested in the first paragraph). I got the feeling that this story will go backwards and forwards, from its introduction of older age back through her adolescence, then forward again to her future and hopefully to some sort of redemption or salvation, as the title suggests. In all of this I am intrigued. Also, the author clearly knows how to write, a talent that sadly is not fully shared by all entrants in this contest.

If you're a Trans-Oceanic aficionado like myself, you need this book! These sets command a mystique like no other and this book is an excellent tribute to these outstanding receivers.

This is easily the best written book for collectors that I've read. Not only are its 160 magazine-sized pages thorough and exhaustive in their presentation of history, key personalities, and technical data, but the book is thoughtfully structured to be as useful as a reference as it is an entertaining read. A wealth of pictures, many in color, come from ads, from Zenith archives, and from individual collections.

The book places the genesis and subsequent evolution of the TO clearly in historical context and explains the impact of the TO on the commercial development and acceptance of the portable radio. The authors provide practical advice for collectors, even citing restoration techniques and specific restoration products used by museums.

Especially gratifying is the use of endnotes that provide sources of historical information. More than just references, the endnotes contain enough interesting anecdotal data that you'll find yourself reading them in their entirety when you finish the main text.

If you are interested in the history of radio for any reason, you won't go wrong with this fascinating, authoritative work. I expect that it has already significantly increased interest in the collecting of Trans-Oceanics.

As a collector of Trans-Oceanics, I found this to be the best book I have read in awhile. Couldn't put it down.

The book covers several areas: the history of the Trans-Oceanics, details of the various models, restoration and repair information, and accessories.

The history information is well worth reading, and told me a lot I didn't know about the radios.

The repair/restoration sections are excellent, whether you are experienced with electronics or not.

I would say this book is a must-have for anyone with an interest in Trans-Oceanics

I recently acquired a 1956-57 model Y600 at a flea market. The Zenith Trans-Oceanic is clearly in a class by itself and I wanted to learn as much about the history of this model as possible. What a pleasant surprise when I received "The Zenith Trans-Oceanic, The Royalty of Radios" and found it to be extremely well documented, highly entertaining and it even includes a restoration guideline section. The print quality is first class with all the historical photographs of related personages and reproduction of Trans-Oceanic advertisements that a reader could want. The writing style is both scholarly and entertaining. In short this book has provided significant additional pleasure in owning, restoring and listening to a radio worthly of being known as a historical benchmark in radio history. Thanks to Amazon Books the finding and acquiring this book was made easy!

Whenever radio-guys assemble to swap tales of great radios one name stands above the rest - the Zenith Trans-Oceanic. Considered the radio for listening to the world, Trans-Oceanic portables were one of the finest engineered and designed products made in America. I learned of the magic of the Trans-Oceanic from my foster Dad, who carried one (the R520\URR military version) in Korea. He told me it was the most reliable radio he had ever seen. A few years later I bought a 600 series and discovered for myself the joys of short-wave listening. I carried that Zenith from the States to Europe where, two years later, I bought a Royal 3000-1 which went back to the States and then on to Southeast Asia. The Zenith Trans-Oceanic - The Royalty of Radios, is one of the finest collector books I have ever seen. The author's spent more than two years researching the Zenith archives to bring this book to life. Page after page of beautifully produced color, combined with black and white photographs show each model inside and out, along with original magazine ads presented in their original format. Information covering the origin of the Trans-Oceanic and model changes through the years make for interesting reading. Also included are repair hints, as well as collecting information. The section on original cost compared to 1996 dollars demonstrates how expensive these sets were when new. The original Trans-Oceanic sold for $75 in 1942, which translates to $695 today. The most astounding price was on the first transistorized model, the 1000-D, introduced in 1958 at a 1996 price of over $1400! This is a book for anyone interested in the history of one of the finest products ever produced in the United States - the Zenith Trans-Oceanic radio. The authors, publisher and printer deserve a thank you for producing this fine volume. by Bob Moore The Roving Editor

This is a collection of outstanding articles on Anthony Giddens. Like other collections of this kind, large proportion of the articles is reprinting of already published ones on a variety of journals. But some are taken from several books and some unpublished materials are included. All amount to a hefty number of 93.
With those materials, you could grasp how Giddens is evaluated and assessed in circle of his colleague. If you want to be oriented to Giddens¡¯ framework, this is not the right one. But if you want to build your own opinion about Giddens, this is definitely ready to lend a hand. Various writers attempt to dissect Giddens¡¯ grand fabric to hit upon the weakness and develop alternatives.
This set as a whole is divided into eight sections:
1. Career and work
2. Influence of other writers like French structuralists and German hermeneutic school
3. Giddens¡¯ epistemology in the view of philosophy of science.
4. Structuration theory
5. Time-space in structuration theory
6. Theory on nation-state
7. theory on modernity
8. extensions and application of structuration theory

What a sweet book. Our daughters particularly love reading about Cubby and Grandpa's fun at the swimming hole and the doughnut store. They somehow claim that Grandpa's "winter hibernation" on the couch reminds them of someone they know. And they love the illustrations -- not just cuddly Cubby but also the kittens, flowers, frogs, and butterflies. Bravo!

I loved this warm and charming book! The kids will have a ball acting it out and the parents will enjoy reading it aloud. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

If you have a child or a grandchild you simply must get this book. Warm, loving and intensely re-readable. A very nice gift. Small children love it.

I adore this book, from the charming story line to the rich illustrations. My kids are drawn particularly to the interactive component of the story: they act out the parts, from the growling to the snoozing to...the bear hug. A perfect gift for grandparents and kids alike!

My daughter loves anything "Cinderella" and this book is her favorite one plus the fact that the cover and illustration is really pretty.

You really can't go wrong with SS! All the books and movies are wholesome and entertaining. I love reading them to my daughter and watching the movies with her. Actually, my son loves them too but would never admit it to his friends (he's 9). Good thing he has a little sister ;)

We had this book in soft cover and lost it. We purchased this hard cover book and we found the book we had lost the next day. My daughter was happy so it made us happy.

Thanks!

Okay, I admit it. My daughter received this book as a present and I rolled my eyes. I expected this book to be way too saccharin to stand reading it... BUT it is really cute and my daughter and I both enjoy it.

[Btw- don't know what is wrong with the front cover shown above. It is, in fact, in full color and not a line drawing.]

In this book the premise is that Strawberry Shortcake and her friends are going to play dress up and act out the story of `Cinderella'.

Most of the storyline is kept. The stepmother and sisters are mean. They keep Cinderella too busy to get ready for the ball; and they try to keep the prince at the end of the story from meeting Cinderella and fitting her with the shoe, etc.

Where the story deviates is that the girls are vying NOT for the princes hand in marriage, but for the chance to live at the palace and care for the `royal berry crop'. Decidedly better, in my opinion, than all the emphasis being on marrying someone one hasn't met yet.

Four Stars. [B+]. Very Good Read-aloud. Drawings are what you would expect; large and colorful, simple and sweet.

I have read about every motorsports book printed since the 60's. This is one of the best. Bryant is a great story teller and the book is just fun to read. For the technically minded, it also provides interesting information on racecar design. Several of my recent book purchases have been a disappointment, but this one is well worth the money

I was fortunate to have stumbled on to this title and quickly ordered it for a friend that works for the company that sponsored the UOP Shadow. Usually he just glances at the pictures but this time he found some interesting tidbits. From what I gather, this is the car that proved to the world that unleaded gasoline was the way to go. Even I found parts of it to be interesting. Buy it! Any engineering student from this time period likely remembers this car.

While Peter Bryant's tale of chasing the impossible dream of winning a Can-Am Champioship is a delightful and informative tale, it is his ability as a story teller that makes the book such a delight. You don't have to be a follower of automobile racing to be entertained by his trials and trevails. Just read it and enjoy.

I bought this book from Amazon without really knowing who Peter Bryant was. However, I have been impressed by previous David Bull Publishing books so assumed I would not be disappointed.

This is an amazingly enjoyable read - you would think that Peter Bryant was an experienced writer and raconteur instead of being a motor racing mechanic turned Can Am racing car constructor.

The book is filled with humorous and interesting anecdotes about life with Team Lotus in the early 1960's working for Colin Chapman (including making a home made rocket to fire off in the Lotus workshop!). The author later worked with the BRP F1 team on John Surtees F1 car and he also tells the tale of being imprisioned in Karachi with Graham Hill!

In the mid 1960's, Peter Bryant moved to the USA and worked for various race teams including an emotional entry in the Indy 500 race. Through hard work and dedication, he worked for the best teams before deciding that he should find a way to design and build a Can Am car to take on the likes of Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme, Dan Gurney etc. You will read an enthralling account of how Bruce McLaren gave Peter parts in the pit lane as he struggled to get his revolutionary titanium challenger onto the grid.

This book is full of superb stories written in an easy going style. It's packed with many of the author's own photos and is a refreshing change from the many driver biographies which are around at the moment. I can heartily recommend the book to anyone interested in the 1960's and 1970's racing scene.

Very good book! I think Bonnie did an excellent job with this one. I love it when the girls go to the Bar None because it's a completely different story each and every time. This is my favorite one that takes place at the Bar None. It's a little disapointing when Steve ruins Lisa and John's moment--but it made me laugh for about 5 minutes--I thought it was great!
I highly recomend this book to Saddle Club readers--especially if they love ghosts and Halloween--like me! :-)

It was really good but I still don't get what really happened. I mean I know it was a ghost. But I don't beliave in ghosts!

This book was so good! It was great how Stevie and the others made Halloween fun for the children. I also thought the story of the stallion was good. I was a little disappointed that Stevie accidentally ruined John and Lisa's moment, though.

The Saddle Club go to the Bar Just so they can Help Kates Mum plan a Halloween Party. Then kate tells them about this Magnifasent Whiteish grey stallion that she wants to adopt. A ranch Hand called john tells Them a storie that warns them to keep their distence. Then funny encounters with the stallionHelp them Change There Minds. I thought that this is A great Magical storie. A Must Read!!!
