Reel Baseball book a joy to read. Lots of great photos. The DVD is a treasure, it brings back a lot of memories of baseball when I was a kid. Hope there is a DVD part 2.             Not Till the Fat Lady Sings: The Most Dramatic Sports Finishes of All Time9 reviews Triumph Books (IL), 2003 Fantastic Sports Book! Some reviews complained about the DVD, but I found it to be the best thing of all. As the book states, some of the sports events in the text have similar endings, for example a homer in the bottom of the 9th, or a shot at the buzzer. It would get repetitious and monotonous to see that time after time on a video program. In the book, however, some games might have similar circumstances in the end, ...             The Book of Books (The Book of Books, An Eclectic Collection of Reading Recommendations, Quirky Lists, and ...1 review Les Krantz and Tim Knight Wildwood Books, 2007 Great little book While small, this book has about 200 lists of books under a variety of categories from African-American Novels (Stories of 20th Century African-American Life) to Young Adult Novels (Michael L. Printz Award Winners 2000-2006). Most lists are 8 items long and include title, author and year published followed by a couple of sentences about the book. Eclectic categories such as Muckraking Classics, ...             Their First Time in the Movies (With DVD & VHS)2 reviews Les Krantz Overlook Hardcover, 2001 Movie Stars In The Making 2001 boxed-set includes all three: book, VHS and DVD. Lavishly illustrated book with over 300 rare photos! One hour documentary with over 30 rare clips in both VHS videotape and DVD formats.             The Art of the Market5 reviews Bob Tamarkin, Les Krantz Stewart, Tabori and Chang, 1999 Great business history I received this book as a gift, and was struck at first by its amazing "look"--it has top-notch graphics. The individual stock certificates are remarkable, and the book's authors make these images come to life as symbols of American business. The engraving of the certificates is treated as a vanishing art form, and this collection offers a reminder of just what is being lost as the market ...             Jobs Rated Almanac: The Best and Worst Jobs - 250 in All - Ranked by More Than a Dozen Vital Factors ...21 reviews Les Krantz Barricade Books, 2002 very good read I thought this was a very interesting and informative book. It gave me a lot of information about different jobs. As for the upset people who rated this book low, i'm sure Les rated firemen higher than nurses in stress level because some nurses work in a low stress environment in some kind of pediatric aera, giving shots to little kids, while firemen have to be ready all the time when they are ...             The World's Worsts: A Compendium of the Most Ridiculous Feats, Facts, & Fools of All Time1 review Les Krantz Collins, 2005 Light Trivia for those Bored times Sometimes I need light reading. My computer is defragging, I am in the "reading room" or I am waiting for the oven to preheat. This book is really good for that. Where else can you find a book that on one page has a list of the countries with the fewest library books and the nations with the lowest longevity rates on the same page. Very fun reading.             Yankee Stadium: A Tribute: 85 Years of Memories: 1923-20087 reviews Les Krantz HarperEntertainment, 2008 A Keepsake... This is the best of the handful of Yankee Stadium books that came out in 2008 -- the Yankees' swansong season in the Babe's house. It's a treasure chest of the 50 or so greatest moments in Yankee Stadium history, from Ruth's christening blast in 1923 to Joe Louis' kayo of Max Schmeling to the heroics of Reggie, Wells, Boone, and Jeter. Besides the stories, the book includes great photos and ...             Rose Colored Sixties a Perfect View of the Past P Q publishers limited, 2004 beautiful hardcover book..white dustcover with picture of rose colored glasses and the numeral 60's in pop-art fashion...contains a DVD never watched..perfect crisp book from Barnes and Noble Collection of Cultural studies. beautiful photos on every page from our sixties past!!!              search for books 1923-2008, almanac, america, baseball, benefits, collection, colored, compendium, dramatic, eclectic, factors, finishes, greatest, including, market, memories, newsreels, perfect, quirky, ranked, reading, recommendations, ridiculous, salary, sixties, stadium, stress, tribute, underdogs, witnessed books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
