Wallace Books

This is one of Wallace's extraordinary thrillers with an over the top villain. The unctuous master criminal Colonel Boundary. The Colonel receives an envelope in the mail that contains a playing card, knave of clubs and wrote on it Jack o'Judgment. Stafford King had devoted his time to smashing the Colonel's gang. The Colonel was accused of robbing a merchant of sixty thousand pounds by means of card tricks. Cocaine, dope fiends, gambling, show girls, and stage-door Johnnies add tricky obstacles and frightening drama. The action is fast paced and justice is done.

Jason Schneider has written more about collectible cameras than anyone (though British author Ivor Matanle comes close). His monthly (now bi-monthly in Popular Photography) columns in Modern Photography on camera collecting are, for most of us, the fountainhead of camera collecting information. These columns are collected in a three book set, too long out of print.
Though very opinionated, perhaps even curmudgeonly in tone, these essays are cram-packed with information that can not be found anywhere else. Look forward to hours of enjoyable reading about old cameras and collecting.
If you are interested in camera collecting you MUST have this set. Unfortunately, only available used.
Highly recommended! Two thumbs WAY up!

Volume one is the best of the set, but all are desirable as each is completely different.

a good text on an expanding area within orthopaedics

It's a nice journal. Very durable and fashionable. Great for jotting down bible notes.

Carl Jung has facinated me since I first encountered his ideas in "Man and his Symbols" as an art student in the early 70s. Jung, of all the author/psychiatrists, recognizes and articulates the beauty and mystery of what it means to be human. The concept of Christianity, like the concept of being human, has been an ongoing brooding omnipresence in my life. Both concepts hovered as important but beyond my ability to rationally articulate to myself or others. Wallace Clift's book is simply brillant. He writes with an elegant intelligence that is a joy to read. I found myself rereading paragraphs in objective admiration at the economy of words; sharpness of insight;and ability to reduce complex ideas, which are not subject to easy assimilation, to understandable and enlightening prose. Thoughtful Christians and admirers of Carl Jung will thrill at the experience of reading this book. It is a beautiful reading experience incorporating all that we read for-ideas,inspiration, understanding, and love of language. Clift makes me glad to be a sentient being.

This book has some fun phrases to use. You shouldn't try using them if you're at the beginning level, but it's real fun if you're good enough. I only wish that there were more of them, particularly more four character phrases which come from Classical Chinese.
