This is an impressive compilation. For a one-volume commentary on the United States Constitution, this book achieves its purpose. It is written on the high-school level, with a USA Today-type layout of images and text, sidebar vocabulary and definitions, and boxed "For further consideration" essays that round out the discussion of the ideas.

Greatest stylist of modern times, etc. Lolita needs no introduction: if you are here, you know. The Annotated Lolita (2nd edition) also defies easy description. It is incredibly rare for two things to come together so marvelously: 1) A work of Lolita's breadth and ...             The Annotated Alice: The Definitive Edition42 reviews Lewis Carroll W. W. Norton & Company, 1999 Alice In Wonderland - Special Book I was truly pleasingly surprised when I received this book. It was much more than I expected for the price I paid. It is definitely a book I will pass down to my children.             The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha, Augmented Third Edition, New Revised Standard Version, ...136 reviews Oxford University Press, USA, 2007 Well Organized The information is concisely presented without going into a lot of detail. However there is certainly depth. Good cross-referencing is a key factor in my decision to recommending this great study bible volume.             Mrs. Dalloway (Annotated)4 reviews Virginia Woolf Harvest Books, 2005 A League of Her Own This is a fine edition and value, including a helpful preface introducing the author and novel as well as an appendix (the "annotated" part) with explanations of terms, places, and designations for non-Londoners along with identifications of literary, political and historical allusions for readers who could use a little extra help. Anyone who has read James Joyce's "The Dead" will recognize ...             A Room of One's Own (Annotated)5 reviews Virginia Woolf Harvest Books, 2005 If you want to be a woman writer, this is a must-read! I really didn't know much about Virginia Woolf until 2005, when I ended up living with a dear friend who taught at a local college. Like most folks, I knew Woolf was a writer of the early 1900s and I'd seen the movie "The Hours" and that was the sum total of my knowledge. One day, my dear friend handed me this book and said, "You'll like this." I was intimidated. After all, it's Virginia ...             The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha, Augmented Third Edition, New Revised Standard Version5 reviews Oxford University Press, USA, 2007 The Best of the Real Study Bibles If you are searching for a study Bible that focuses on the best modern scholarship around concerning the texts that make up the Bible, you will soon find out from most reviews on Amazon (as well as from other places such as universities) the best of the more objective ones are The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha, Augmented Third Edition, New Revised Standard Version - this ...             The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern40 reviews Carol Strickland Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2007 Couldn't have passed my Art Content Praxis without this book!!! I bought this book to review for the Art Content Praxis. It's been about 20 years since my art history classes so I definitely needed a refresher. Although, I did remember a lot and reviewed other books, this book put me over the top. It's fast paced and easy to read! Short highlights to remind you of things you may have forgot and adds what you may have missed.             To the Lighthouse (Annotated)167 reviews Virginia Woolf Harvest Books, 2005 An insightful, sensitive reading. The idea of Virginia Woolf's fiction being read aloud effectively has struck me as an impossibility. The very interiority of Woolf's style seemed to suggest that readers hear the narrative voice within themselves. This reading proves me dead wrong. Virginia Leishman's reading--and interpretation--added much to my passion for a novel I have always loved. Readers--and listeners--new to Virigina ...             Philosophical Problems: An Annotated Anthology (2nd Edition)1 review Laurence BonJour, Ann Baker Longman, 2007 Great text book! Book arrived in great condition and in the time specified by the seller. Thanks.             The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha, Revised Standard Version, Expanded Edition (Hardcover ...36 reviews Oxford University Press, USA, 1977 Interesting and Hard-to-Find Content This Bible has a lot of content that is a little hard to come across, and to me, that is what makes it so interesting and worthwhile. First of all, the "Revised Standard Version" has been, for the most part, abandoned in favor of the newer "New Revised Standard Version." However, this older version definitely has its own merits. As I understand it, it is the only version of the Bible to be ...             Ulysses Annotated: Revised and Expanded Edition2 reviews Don Gifford University of California Press, 2008 Great book.... misleading title This is certainly an excellent book, but it is not the annotated Ulysses that you expect from the Pengiun or Oxford editions. That is, the actual text of Ulysses is not in this book, only lengthy and fascinating information about Ulysses itself. So, I would recommend it, only the title is deliberately misleading. I thought I was getting an annotated version of Ulysses, not a book on annotations ...             The Annotated Turing: A Guided Tour Through Alan Turing's Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing ...3 reviews Charles Petzold Wiley, 2008 The kind of book I wish I'd written Some books entertain, some inform; some confirm what you already knew, some make you change your mind about something. But then there are some books that just make you think "wow! I wish I'd written that". For me, Charles Petzold's The Annotated Turing falls into that last category (as well, of course, as the informational category). It's a book worth reading not only for the topic itself but ...             Literary Research Guide: An Annotated Listing of Reference Sources in English Literary Studies2 reviews James L. Harner Modern Language Association of America, 2008 must-have for students of literature Harner's most recent edition is the "bible" for those studying literature and/or related disciplines. An absolute must-have for graduate students in literature, women's studies, ethnic studies, and other textually-based disciplines.             Three Guineas (Annotated)4 reviews Virginia Woolf Harvest Books, 2006 Women against war I gave this book 5 stars, not because I really liked it, but because it's interesting. Three Guineas is VW second book that is an argument and not fiction (the first is a room of one's own). It's about how women can help prevent war, and it says a lot of stuff, one of the things being to link male vanity to aggression. It's controversial, and a lot less pleasant than a room of one's own. ...             The Annotated Pride and Prejudice42 reviews Jane Austen Anchor Books, 2007 Excellent background information The notes on the opposite page of teach page of the book are very helpful in understanding the exact meanings and the connotations of many words and phrases that were in use in the period when Jane Austen is writing. The historical background of that era and especially the explanation of the social and cultural life is very illuminating. I hesitated to get this edition of the book, and I am so ...             South-Western Federal Taxation: Internal Revenue Code 1986 & Treasury Regulations: Annotated and Selected ... James E. Smith South-Western College/West, 2008 Current, accessible, and succinct, SOUTH-WESTERN FEDERAL TAXATION: INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986 AND TREASURY REGULATIONS delivers the perfect alternative to the traditionally cumbersome --and expensive -- multivolume set of Code and Regulations. This unique, streamlined single-volume reference book delivers a practical selection of Code and Regulations sections. It offers clear and concise annotations that explain, analyze, and cross-reference ...             The New Oxford Annotated Apocrypha, Augmented Third Edition, New Revised Standard Version5 reviews Oxford University Press, USA, 2007 Great version of the books missing from my other Bibles This version of the Apocryphal books, traditionally found in the Septuagingt and "Catholic" Bibles is an easy read and contains many helpful tools. The introductions, maps and other background helps are indispensible in creating context for the reader. The inclusion of chapter and verse markings (which my KJV of these books lacks) is also useful in making notes and references. And above all, my ...             The Annotated Arch: A Crash Course in the History Of Architecture3 reviews Carol Strickland Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2001 Everything you ever wanted to know about architecture & more This book is jam-packed with information, presented in a fascinating, readable manner.
