"The Little Fellow" is a wonderful children's book about a foal who learns humility and compassion. It was my favorite book as a child and still is today. The illustrations and story are beautiful.

This is a darling story of two foals and their experiences with humans and other horses in the herd. Rudish's drawings are some of his best. I found this book at a library years ago and would love to own it! Anyone who owns this book has a real treasure!

I have read many books on healthy aging and longevity and Dr. Bortz has written the very best! He gives the latest information on exercise, diet, rest, medication use, and dealing with a health crisis. He manages to do this in a friendly style,occasionlyy bringing in his own personal experiences along with his suggestions on getting the most out of life. I think everyone will enjoy the discussions on sex, maintaining your brain power, and the use of alternative medicine as it relates to older people. It's a worthwhile book for everyone - smart, dummie. old or young!

Frederick Buechner is now, at 80 years of age, highly respected and well known for his teachings and writings centered on the spiritual life. Brook Street Press will change that in introducing this reprint of Buechner's brilliant 1950 novel A LONG DAY'S DYING written just prior to his 'finding Christianity', and while the novel was highly acclaimed when it was first published, it has all but disappeared from his bibliography of biblically oriented works of fiction and non-fiction. This novel is simply brilliant, a reader's delight, and a hugely successful work despite the fact that it demands much from those who enter its realm.

Buechner writes in a dense, near stream of consciousness style that is reminiscent (in the finest sense) of the works of Virginia Woolf, Henry James, Michael Cunningham, and William Faulkner. Strange company, this? Well, just try to jump into Buechner in media res and see if the clues are not there. His small but indelible cast of characters includes Tristram Bone (an obese, wealthy, unlucky in love eloquent man) who lives with his German housekeeper Emma and his pet monkey Simon. He is friends with a novelist, one George Motley (a novelist who lives in his own world); Elizabeth Poor (an elegant wealthy widow who attracts men like flypaper); her young handsome Adonis son Leander and Leander's oddly intrusive friend Paul Steitler, a young professor whose attentions with all those he meets are seductive; and Maroo, Elizabeth's stalwart prickly mother who seems to have the best handle on everyone and whose journey through live offers a bastion of philosophy! The story simply unfolds the interrelationships of these odd people, weaving them into a tapestry so intricate and eloquent that the product is dazzling. Trysts, rumors of trysts, peculiar encounters and imagined relationships twist in and out of the story, all bathed in the luminous language of Buechner. 'Morning sunlight in long horizontals through the latticed blinds serenely puzzled the wide room by singling here and there disconnected shapes of brightness for predominance. One spray of a sea-green glass vaseful of lilacs caught the light and. like a wing, dipped through the shadow...' These verbal settings abound, wrapping the characters in shawls of beauty as they act out their peculiar ways of approaching friendship and affairs.

Reading Beuchner should be a slow process. Though the story is propulsive, it is thick with asides that demand attention if the lush eloquence of the language is to be appreciated. A LONG DAY'S DYING has some very important points about life to make, but it is the journey through the magnificent landscape of Beuchner's language that is the inimitable joy of reading this gratefully restored novel. Highly Recommended for serious readers. Grady Harp, May 06

The magazine compilations are full of wonderful photos and articles. And, not only for diehard MacDonald/Eddy fans, but for all the world to appreciate these two wonderful singers who have brought such joy and pleasure to a world that needs their contribution. A great purchase!

Mac/Eddy Today Magazines are the best information around on Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. Sharon Rich is a longtime researcher on the lives of these two great stars. You can be assured that what you read about them is true. The articles are great along with fabulous photos. What more do you need? Settle back with a cup of tea and be transported back to another era! Oh, and make sure you have on one of their great LP's to make the time perfect!

The Magic School Bus is a great bunch of books. We use them in our homeschool. We really miss the TV show. The books keep my childrens attention. Lots of great pictures and conversation of the students. I think they are very detailed.

"Making Poor Nations Rich" is a very good book. It consists of three main parts. The first part deals with institutions and entrepreneurship. The second part is about the importance of constrained entrepreneurship on economic development in Africa, Latin America, Scandinavia, and the transitional economies of the former USSR. The final part stresses the benefit of the reforms underlying the growth spurt in entrepreneurship in China and the Republic of Ireland, and the difficulties that challenge entrepreneurship in India, New Zealand, and Botswana.

If pressed to rank the sections of the book in descending order of their strengths, I would say: Foreword, Introduction, Part 1, Part 3, and Part 2. However, such an ordering is too subjective for a great book like this one. I give it 5-stars.
