This, the fourteenth edition,
contains practically all the data found in earlier editions.

Even though the book lost me at times it is not the fault of the author but of my own brain. I have a mind that is not always capable of understanding what's going on. But I am aware of the problem and I do not blame the problem on the author, which I think a lot of readers do at times. This story could have had modern day situations in place of the old west. The theme is great, the characters well done, the story excellant, at the end there is a prolog very similar to that which was always used at the end of the Hitchcock films. If you like intrigue you need to find this book and go for it.

I never read a book all the way through in one sitting. This one was amazing. It's the sequel to Wedding Cakes, Rats, and Rodeo Queens, but can be read all by itself. The characters, the plot, the emotion involved in this book make it an experience that I won't soon forget. Bravo Anne.

I bought this book hoping for a Linda Howard story I hadn't read, only to find the one in here is An Independent Wife. Good story, if you haven't read it yet, though. And if you like Stella Cameron, her contribution was worthwhile, as well.

Twenty years ago I was wandering the country, experiencing life and searching for something to fulfill me. Everything I had experienced so far had left me unfulfilled. I was lost, physically, mentally and spiritually. I was giving up!

One day, soon after I "gave up" I stumbled into an Indianapolis truck stop and found myself staring at a wire rack similar to the ones you see holding postcards. Instead, this one held paperback books. One book in particular immediately caught my attention. The title jumped out at me from the striking brown and gold cover. "Hello, I'm God and I'm Here to Help You" by Miriam Cameron.

When it came to organized religion, I was a skeptic at that time in my life. But the title grabbed me. I went outside and sat on the curb and began to read it. I was struck by how simply it read and though I had lost my dad when very young, I felt he wrote this.

I never knew my dad, never heard his voice or saw his face; in fact I know nothing of him. My mother passed away before I was old enough to ask. Yet the words and thoughts within the covers of this book blanketed me with love and understanding. Dad was here to answer my questions! I raced ahead through the pages in search of topics that addressed my philosophies and beliefs to see what dad would say.

In this book, never did he reprimand me or talk down to me, but rather understood my thoughts and appealed to my sense of right and wrong. Living in an era of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, it was pretty comforting to sit down with him and "fess up" and know it was okay.

Page by page, I was touched by a sense of belonging and comfort. I had disagreements with a few of his statements, but that was okay. It was clear his words were there to guide me and if I wanted guidance then these were his rules to abide by.

Each phrase listed references from the Bible and before long I decided I needed a Bible to check up on these thoughts of his. When I finally got my hands on a Bible and discovered how honest the translations were, my comfort and trust grew. Again I was struck with the warm and loving, conversational tone of the book. Then it hit me. My dad was God! I wept. Through Miriam Cameron's words, God sneaked into my life on that dreary afternoon in Indy.

The next ten to fifteens years I would struggle with my spirituality and Christianity. I would find myself reaching out for Miriam's book. Some of those times my "dad's" voice would become my mother's voice and I would find comfort again.

Countless times I would meet others struggling with their life of faith and I would pass "Hello, I'm God..." on to them. Days, weeks, even months later this book would be returned it to me, and I could see lives had been touched.

One day, a few years ago, I passed Miriam's book on to a very troubled woman I met as she was headed east and I west. I knew that was the last time I would see her or "my" book. Yet, even though those words are always there for me in the Bible, I find myself longing for that conversational tone and 'heart-to-heart' talk with good ol' "Dad".

So, today, I am in search of another copy of "Hello, I'm God and I'm Here to Help You" by Miriam Cameron. That doesn't surprise me after twenty years. What surprises me is how much I turn to those pages in my memory after twenty years.

How many books have I read that I can say that about? Well, I can tell you this is the first time I have ever written a review on book that wasn't required by a class in literature. Hmmm. It must have helped me.

"Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities." - 1 Timothy 5:23 (KJV)

The graphics and color bring the play alive and the three text versions provide an excellant transition for the age of your child. Why let the introduction to Shakespeare wait until a High School class when you can educate their young minds with his great work using this novel idea. Plus you can simple choose the text level to start them on; I choose the Quick text for my 10 year old.

In this version of Classical Comic's HENRY V, adapted by John McDonald, you're dealing with the Original Text. By that I mean that you get the entire play, just as William Shakespeare wrote it. Classical Comics has also published two other versions: Plain Text, which takes the original script and converts it into modern English, and Quick Text, which reduces the dialogue into as few words as possible (as many graphic novels do).

Thanks to the wonderful artwork of many talented illustrators (Neill Cameron for pencils, Bambos for Inks, Jason Cardy & Kat Nicholson for Coloring, and Nigel Dobbyn for Lettering), the result is a colorful, heavy-duty, true-to-the-script version of one of Shakespeare's most recognized plays.

This is the perfect book to introduce reluctant teen readers to Shakespeare. Whether they read it for fun or for a class, they're getting the original play, act by act, and they get it in a convenient, reader-friendly way. In this day of graphic novels, it's important to remember the classics, and HENRY V doesn't disappoint.

The additional information at the end of the story, including a short biography of William Shakespeare and one of Henry V, a detailed description of the Battle of Agincourt, and even a guide to the creation of the graphic novel's pages, only add to the value.

If you're looking for a well-made and instructional graphic novel based on HENRY V, look no further than this edition.

It's a nice quick reference for a resident whenever faced by a new specimen that he don't know how to handle. It start each chapter with quick revision of anatomy and clinical information then focus on outlining the cutting procedure as well as the main points to include in the report.

I bought this book because it was something new on the 90th Ohio Infantry and I already owned a facsimile reprint from Higginson Books. There is nothing in the publishing information to indicate this is a reprint. However, Scott Cameron is not the author, but just penned a short (and irrelevant) introduction to the original book written by his great great grandfather. Cameron is also called the editor, but has done precious little in the way of editing. So, if you want a new issue of a decent regimental history, this is for you. If you already own a copy of the original book, keep away from this one.

If you like the moviestars of the eighties and nineties, this book is a must-have. It has short, simple, but very complete biographies of many popular moviestars. Also, a handy filmography. In the biography you`ll find comments on some of the movies - and tv-shows - your favorite star was in. The pictures inside are black and white, but usually very nice. Everything is in alphabethical order, so it`s very easy to find who you are looking for. If you like movies and moviestars you should order this book RIGHT NOW!
