Z Books

My name is Woodrow and I'm in this dang book. Let me tell you it's all a pack of lies. Most of the stuff Reavis wrote about me NEVER EVEN HAPPENED! Well, SOME of it may have happened, but I don't think he needs to be airing all of our dirty longjohns out in public. Doc, Wrong Willie, Jerry Wayne and all the rest of us agree Reavis needs some kind of therapy... and fast. And I don't mean the kind of therapy he's been getting from Charlie Daniels' brother, Jack, if you know what I mean.

Eat Gas Now by R. Wortham brings two things together that makes me giggle: first, a group of hunting buddies who enjoy each other's company probably more than hunting (it's a male bonding thing); and second, the diner that grace's any small town where local's sip coffee and trade yarns. This group reminds me of my 'lunch bunch' who just have a funny way of looking at things. I highly recommend this book.

Set aside a couple of hours and read this book non-stop. You won't have a choice because you cannot put it down until you have finished. One story just makes you hungry for another. Caution: do not attempt to read one of the stories to another person, because you will be unable to speak, having fallen into uncontrollable spasms of laughter. I tried to read one to my wife and we both fell on the floor howling.

This book appeals to outdoor persons of course, but the humor will not be lost on anyone.

in this volume the fighting starts.androids 17 and 18 release 16 and kill gero.they then leave for their mission, to kill son goku.while fighting the warriors make a startling discovery a new monster has come.cell has come and is getting more and more powerful.the warriors now have a much much biger fight that is about to start.

This is the best Dragonball Z manga book since volume 12. In this graphic novel, Goku has just been stricken by the heart virus, while the Z fighters get their butts kicked by the newly awakned Androids No. 17 & 18. After getting his butt kicked by Android 17, Piccolo goes to Kami-Sama's Palace to fuse with Kami-Sama. But Kami wants to wait to see what will happen...... As seen in Viz's Shonen Jump Magazine. If you don't understand what i'm saying its best to read Vols. 1-13 before this one( they all are pretty good.)

Before I go into my review proper I would like to ask one question: how in the heck did the Red Ribbon army create androids as strong as #17 and #18 anyway? They couldn't even defeat Goku when he was a (Relatively)wimpy kid and now they got things that can wail on super saiyans? I don't get it. Anyway, on to the review. In this book Dr. Gero gets killed by the androids he awakened in the last volume who then proceed to kick Vegeta's butt. Piccolo fuses with Kami(which seems wierd to me, can a person fuse more than once?) Anyway, an evil alien shows up called Cell and that's pretty much it. I enjoyed reading it but it is probably not my favorite of the series, still it is a very good read for Dragonball Z fans.

My son is a huge favorite of this series. The book arrived quickly and in excellent condition.

A must have for any true Dragonball Z fan. This manga includes the original artwork and continues the amazing story of Dragonball. A must have for an Akira Toriyama fan (author of Dragonball & Dr. Slump) his work continues to inspire Manga and Anime alike all over the world.

Yet another fine chapter in Dragonball this integral part of the graphic novel collection continues the journey of Goku and his friends in their non-stop action adventure. Gotta collect em all!

If you've read any of the Dragonball manga issues, you've got to get the graphic novels as well. These are much more sturdy and more in book form.
Since Funimation ruined the american version of Dragonball Z, you can now read what Toriyama-san really made, or you could spend a fortune on the subtitled japanese videos and DVDs, but this is so much less exspensive and portable.

Freeza and his minions continue their ruthless search for Planet Namek's Dragon Ball, leaving not a single Namekian alive in their wake! When Kuririn and Gohan attempt a daring rescue of a Namekian child, they become involved in a deadly game of hide-and-seek with the murderous Dodoria.

But after escaping one alien brute, Kuririn and Gohan discover they've got another to deal with, Vegeta! The Saiyan they never wanted to see again is back, and like Freeza he too is searching for the Namekian Dragon Balls in a mad quest for immortality. Will Goku make it to Namek in time? And even if he does, can he possible stop both Freeza and Vegeta before either of their ambitions are realized?

The Namek Saga begins with a bang (no pun intended) as Kuririn and Gohan play hide-and-seek with Vegeta and and his ex-boss,the evil Freeza, while trying to save a little Namekian named Dende and find the Namekian Dragon Balls so they can bring Kami-Sama, Chaozu, Tenshinhan, Yamcha, and Piccolo back to life. After seeing what power Freeza's forces are packing as well as Vegeta's newly developed ablitiy to sense Chi, things aren't looking too good for our heros until Bulma learns that Goku is on his way to Namek and Dende tells them of The Great Elder, the parent of all Namekians, who might beable to help them...if they promise to save Namek. Beautifully drawn and wonderfully told, this is yet another masterpiece in the DragonBall/DragonBall Z saga. Check out the Title Page Gallery in the back, two of the pictures will make you laugh. Enjoy!

"Artfully designed...the perfect holiday gift" Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "Makes dining in 19 Spanish speaking destinations easy and enjoyable" Toronto Star. "A dietary dictionary to help you decipher ropa vieja as shredded beef, not old clothes" Caribbean Travel & Life. COMING IN SPRING 1999: EATING & DRINKING IN ITALY: Reading Menus in Italian.

I liked this book a lot- you know, I can't really speak Spanish, but I went to Mexico and I wanted to eat, and, you know, this book did the trick. I recommend it to anybody who wants to understand Spanish menus.

This menu reader is so easy to use. Unlike other menu readers which are divided into categories (fish, soup, salad), this one is an easy-to-use, alphabetically organized menu reader.The drawings in the margin are very clever and funny.

If you are interested in Edith Wharton, her novels, her friends, her influences, and the Gilded Age that she wrote about, then this Encyclopedia is a wonderful resource for you.

I refer to this Encyclopedia so often, that my copy has begun to get completely worn-out!

The photos in this book are in black and white, but that is actually fine with me, because as I see it, most Encyclopedia's photos are in black and white anyhow (eg: Brittania).

This Wharton Encyclopedia also cross-references well.
And on top of this, included in this Encyclopedia is a wonderful Bibliography.

As you can see by the various Sellers' listings, this is not an expensive Encyclopedia. Personally, I feel that this book is worth much more than the going rate.

Worth the money, for sure!

This book was a great help in writing my 10 page research paper on Edith Wharton. I really could not have done it without it! It was a great basic biography, and also offered critical views, which was great. However, buy a used copy. $55 is a little expensive for a book. I bought used and it was nearly new. Highly recommended!!

This book is amazing! It is a Wharton fan's dream! I was kindly sent this book by my dear friend in America and it has proved invaluable. As an English student, I will be writing my dissertation on the life and major works of this fantastic author, and this is exactly the kind of publication that will make the whole process not only easier, but enjoyable!

This is an excellent guide for Wharton fans and scholars alike. It comes with my full reccomendation! Whether reading for pleasure or for academic purposes, it is a remarkable book.

This book was everthing and more that I expected it to be. The author's expertise in the field was quite commendable. I bought it for all the women in my tennis group. Thanks Miss Valley

The book contains a lot of interesting ideas which can be used in both home décor and fashion design (which i am specialized in). Convenient to use, clear and simple instructions, very useful guide book for any dressmaking workshop.

I love this book, it gives ideas and instructions on how to do everything from applique to simple weaving. The pictures are clear and very helpful in illustrating the techniques. Projects are rated from easy to intermidiate to challenging, and there are supply lists so you can have everything you need. I found it very inspiring in my work and hope to find other book by the author!

THE EMPEROR LAYS AN EGG is one of the most fact-filled books directed towards young children that I have come across. The book begins with a mother emperor penguin laying an egg and then goes on to explain how the egg is taken care of (mostly by the father), how the chick hatches, and how it grows until it becomes an adult. And the illustration appeal to children, containing a lot of blues that calm the nerves. I have just two criticims about the book. First, the book has so much information that younger readers will be overwhelmed. Much of the material will be far too confusing for a 1st grade reader. Most children won't be able to read all the material until they are in 2nd grade, but the book is marketed towards those in 1st grade and younger. Also, the illustrations, though peaceful, are kind of dull; the lack vibrance and vitality. Nevertheless, the book can be read to younger children and they will enjoy flipping through the pages looking at the pictures. THE EMPEROR LAYS AN EGG is a great non-fiction text to read to young children and a great gift for any child who likes penguins.

"In late May, as an icy winter wind blows across Antarctica, a mother emperor penguin lays an egg. Plop! To keep the egg from freezing, she catches it on her feet and covers it with a flap of skin..." So begins Brenda Guiberson's fascinating and engaging story of life and survival in the coldest place on Earth. Mother and Father penguin take turns eating, traveling on a harrowing journey ninety miles or more to an opening in the Arctic ice to feed. Their mate is left behind, standing still for months to care for the egg and eventually the fluffy little chick, in the worst of winter. Finally as the short summer begins, the baby chick leaves his parents' feet, grows black and white waterproof feathers, and learns to swim and feed on its own. Soon the winter will come, the ocean will freeze, and the emperor penguins will return to their mating grounds to begin the process again..... Ms Guiberson's easy to read and well researched text is chock full of detail, interesting facts, drama, and even appropriate sound effects, and is enhanced by Joan Paley's captivating artwork. Together word and art paint a marvelous and intriguing portrait of the life cycle of the emperor penguin. Perfect for youngsters 5 and older, The Emperor Lays An Egg is non-fiction at its very best, and a treasure of a book that definitely shouldn't be missed.

This is a wonderful fact-filled book that will appeal to toddlers and their older siblings as well. There are surprising facts: The father's instinct to balance an egg on his feet away from the snow is so strong, that "one emperor who doesn't have an egg shuffles around with a chunk of ice about the size of a softball." It's nice that both mother and father penguins get their due as hard-working parents. The mother must travel "waddle, waddle" ninety miles to the open sea (at less than one mile an hour) to get food after the egg is hatched. If lucky, she may find a "field of slick ice, and toboggan on her white belly to speed up the four-day trip. Swoosh! Swoosh!" (The author has a lot of fun with verbs!). The father stays with the egg for over two months in temperatures as low as -60 degrees F., and loses half of his body weight.

Some passages are longer and more complex than others, although in some way this widens the book's appeal. The pictures are boldly colorful and uncluttered (made from hand painted paper shaped formed into collages), my only complaint is that some there are too many pages of static penguins. True, this is the frozen North, but in other sections of the book there is more detail and action. Replete with interesting penguin facts and bright, friendly pictures, this is an excellent combination picture book/fact book.
