Buck Books

This book is unique and is essential resource for those who are interested in the history of legalized abortion in the USA. Published in 1968, well before the landmark Row vs. Wade Supreme Court decision which struck down laws against abortion in many states, this book offers an important look into the nature of the debate surrounding the issue at the time. The book doesn't take sides but is instead an honest and respectable attempt to present what was known about the biological life of fetal humans (with 17 detailed black and white photographs illustrating the stages of fetal development), health and mortality statistics that will make one wonder where NARAL got its inflated numbers, the legal circumstances surrounding abortion, and discussion bearing on the issue from legal, medical, social science and ethical perspectives. Reading the book, along with the relevant parts of The Brethren: Inside the Supreme Court, made me wonder why the proceedings of this conference apparently had so little impact on how abortion as come to be a legally protected, vigorously promoted and defended recourse to support the so called "right to reproductive freedom." Forty years later, the choices we have made have indeed been terrible in their consequences. One can get a good idea of how much this is so from reading The Cost of Choice: Women Evaluate the Impact of Abortion. Will we ever, as a country, be able to say we've been wrong about abortion?

I have a copy I got 30-some years ago, and I have read it through. It contains clear summaries of a vast array of Christian and non-Christian subjects. Don't know if it is worth $450; that would have to be judged by rare book fans. Pretty much all of its content can be found somewhere else, but not all in one book. It is worth reading just for the article on Supralapsarianism and another article containing a hilarious account of church dedication gone out of control. The tone of the articles is generally unbiased, with an occasional scold at what the editor considered way out of bounds. This book is a supreme example of the clean and rigorous nature of American Protestant thought in the 19th Century. Read this - your religion will never be the same when you are done.

I. received this book as a gift a few years back, and enjoyed it immensely. I was able to relate to a number of actresses as it was a ritual on Saturdays to attend your local theatre to catch the latest chapter. Buck Rainey did a surpurb job putting the book together with a number of the actresses contributing. Well worth the time and effort. Sincerely Bob Atwell

Janet Buck's, 'Tickets,' is a wonderful collection of poetry. She writes with power, grace, and, most importantly, conviction. If she is not deemed so yet, Buck will soon be thought of as a poet's poet. This book is a fine example why.

This great trilogy contains three excellent stories suitable for a wide range of readers, young and old. The characters are warm and wonderful and the stories are each touching in their own unique way. In Big Oak Mega Buck the relationship and trust between a man and a deer is developed so nicely. Ella's Compassion is a great little story with a good lesson about being a nice person to everyone, regardless of how you're treated or whether you are rich or poor. The family in A Knock at Our Door typifies what a family should be, with the added bonus of some Irish humor and luck.
I highly recommend this book for anyone from teenagers to seasoned citizens.

This exhaustive collection of chords makes it easy to find and learn all the most common and useful chord voicings for major, minor, dominant and altered chords. Each chord is shown on different sets of strings and in multiple areas of the fretboard. This easy-to-use encyclopedia will instantly increase your chord knowledge and vocabulary. The Ultimate chord Bible should be a part of every guitarist's library. 192 pages.

This book seems quite modern in its style and content. I have heard that it was the best selling novel by an American author in the 19th century. The book was written and distributed before the civil war occurred and was read by Northerners and Southerners alike, also by Europeans. Many of the characters seem like stereotypes but It is written for the thinking person. Many of the problems of families of undocumented workers and the people that help them are being faced or ignored by society and government today. Today it is hard to imagine a slave child being sold and separated from his mother, but it is not so hard to imagine the desperate mother going to extraordinary measures to protect her child.

I got the book in excellent condition and was very professional and fast and I would do business with again.
Thank you.

I bought this book as a gift for my dad to encourage him to go for walks around the Bucks County area. The maps and content of the book are really nice and detailed. The only thing I don't like about the book is the cover. I think the cover makes the book look dated.

My son was very reluctant to read; he was actualy falling behind in his 3rd grade class. He wasn't interested in any books at the school library (very small - Montana town - blink and you will miss it!) so I ordered the whole series of Buck Wilder and my son loves them. He also enjoys Fudge too. We hope there will be more Buck Wilder books coming out!
