Review from the Journal of Haitian Studies
Reviewed by Brian Concannon Jr., Bureau des Avocats Internationaux, Port-au-Prince, Haiti Libčte is a wide-ranging and compelling anthology of writing on Haiti. As the title suggests, the Haitian people's struggle for freedom from oppression is the focus, but the editors manage to weave a lot more than history and politics into the work.

Great book!
I just got a copy of this book in the mail today. I love it. I have been looking thru it and showing it to my friends(I have three toys in this book)since I opened it this morning. I only have one issue with it and that's that one of my toys is listed as being an 8" Dunny when it's actually a 3"...Not a big deal. If you like designer toys even a little you will dig this book. If you are a toy ...

A great user-friendly punctuation book
As an incoming freshman entering college, I wanted to find some way to improve my writing. The aspects of my writing were fine, but sometimes it felt short of fully emphasizing an idea, or just connecting sentences better. So I picked up this book (I'll admit, the only thing that caught my attention was the cover at first) and I learned more about punctuation from this book than I ever did from ...

THIS ARTICLE IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED ... A GREAT HELP!
As a 40-year journalist (columnist/editor/publisher), and now author of three books, I thought I knew it all (famous last words). I was always fairly confident of my punctuation, grammar, POV, and the various techniques of writing, but frankly admit that I often hesitated when it came to paragraph and section breaks. So when I saw the title of Mr. Lukeman's Amazon Short, I thought: ...

Bohemian Eclectic Lifestyle
After waiting months for the release of this book, I was not disappointed. Robin Brown has written a true gem and the photographs are gorgeous. Originally, I was expecting more of a "how-to" book on duplicating some of her treasures, but I learned something more important, Robin's book has given the information and encouragement to create my own personal treasures. "A Bit of Velvet & a ...

This book makes me laugh and it makes me hungry.
I just bought a copy of "Campers Roasting on an Open Fire." I've been enjoying the humor sections first, and I can hardly wait to try out these recipes. One of my favorite humor sections is called "More Clues That You're At A Bad Campground." My favorite clue is that "Your cabin is so old that the bed's "magic fingers" have arthritis." Another favorite humor section is "Your Dog As A Handy ...
