Being a history buff,I was drawn to the cover of this intriguing book about a WW1 Canadian soldier. The accounts of Harry Hillyer as depicted in his letters home to his wife and child gave me a very real perspective on the life of a foot soldier during one of our country's most critical eras. This book is filled with history as seen and experienced by someone who was there. I laughed at many of ...             Dear Little One: A Memory Book of Baby's First Year1 review Flavia Cedco Publishing Company, 1998 Beautiful baby book!! I bought this book based on the picture shown and customer reviews. I LOVE IT!! It is exactly what I was looking for...a beautiful baby book that isn't at all "cutesy". It contains all the information I want to document for my baby and is illustrated beautifully. The only things I don't like are the burgundy spine (purple would match the cover better) and that there isn't a diagram with the ...             My Dear Stieglitz: Letters of Marsden Hartley and Alfred Stieglitz, 1912-19152 reviews Alfred Stieglitz, Marsden Hartley University of South Carolina Press, 2002 Super collection of letters! I loved this collection of letters because the correspondence is so succint, complete, and filled with emotion and drama. The letters really gave me a sense of what the artist was going through at this time in his life. Also, the editor did a great job with the appendices and the footnotes - they are as entertaining and informative as the letters themselves.             Dear Mother and Daddy: World War II Letters Home from a WASP1 review Marie Mountain Clark First Page Publications, 2005 Personal History This is a compilation of personal letters written home by a young woman doing extraordinary things during an extraordinary time. The unfiltered devotion and warmth shown from daughter to parents reflect a different time, and the character that went with it. An excellent personal expression of the times that shaped the remainder of the century.             Dear Hannah1 review Steve Downing 1st Books Library, 2003 wow I cannot begin to articulate how moving this life experience really is. We all know that we will love our children...but we never really know how much you fall IN LOVE with them until you have them yourself. Our precious children are like a good book. With each page to be enjoyed, memorized, poured over... remembered. Steve Downing captured this in a form unlike the ordinary to give to his ...             Dear Chief1 review Bruce R. Sims 1st Books Library, 2003 Dear Chief This is a well written account of the authors career in the Immigration Service and a truthful account of his attempt to enforce the immigration laws. I highly recommed this book!             DAN Pocket Guide to First Aid for Scuba Diving12 reviews Dan Orr, Bill Clendenen, ... Pocket Guides Publishing, 1997 Covers it all This little book pretty much covers anything that can happen to a diver, and is specific to diving injuries from drowning to the bends to stings and bites. The best thing about this book, aside from the material, is that it is completely made of plastic and is impervious to water so you don't have to worry about taking it on deck with you or even carrying it in your BCD pocket. If you forgot ...             Dear Donna, It's Only 45 Hours from Bien Hoa: Stories from the Vietnam War2 reviews Douglas Neralich 1st Books Library, 2002 The gut-wrenching personal account of a year in Vietnam Dear Donna It's only 45 Hours from Bien Hoa by Douglas Neralich is the gut-wrenching personal account of his year in Vietnam. An elementary school teacher turned Army medic, Douglas was only twenty-two when called to serve his country as part of the 36th Engineer Battalion, stations at Vinh Long, in Vietnam in 1970. The vignettes presented are both gripping and horrifying, sometimes gentle, ...             Dear Paramount Pictures6 reviews Iqbal Pittalwala Southern Methodist University Press, 2002 Perspectives within Perspectives Iqbal Pittalwala's first book of short stories is a very good read. Pittalwala has put together a fine portrayal of the characters in the stories as well as their own readings of their life situation. He has kept the style simple and the pages pretty much turn themselves. It calls to mind Rohinton Mistry's writing in its somber take on life for, mostly, middle class "Bombayites". However, despite ...             Dear Zoe19 reviews Philip Beard, 2006 Courtesy of Teens Read Too On September 11th, 2001, nearly 3,000 people lost their lives in numerous acts of terrorism against the United States. Even now, five years later, people still ask the question, "Where were you on 9/11?" I remember watching, on that fateful day, news coverage that left me horrified, aghast, and haunted. Where was I on 9/11? At work, on a day that started out like any other and quickly turned ...             Dear Mr. Leprechaun: Letters from My First Friendship7 reviews Martin Nelson Burton London Town Press, 2003 A Note From the Author I greatly appreciate the kind words of the reviews below. I do want to make it clear that in my book, I do not state that my father is the one who wrote the leprechaun's notes to me. True, some people think the leprechaun was my father. But many others - especially children - strongly believe that the leprechaun wrote to me himself. I respect both sides, and included the actual notes in the ...             Dear Mr. President19 reviews Gabe Hudson Knopf, 2002 They've missed it... I've been pretty disappointed with most of the negative reviews of this book posted here so far. First, there's the contention that the book isn't funny at all. How is a story about an ear growing out of a man's chest not funny? I think people are expecting this to be some kind of historical account of Gulf War 1. I mean, looking at the "customers who bought this item also bought" section, it ...             DEAR SEMINARIAN.1 review Catherine De Hueck. Milwaukee WI: Bruce Publishing, 1950 1st prtg. 87p., 1950 Advice for Seminarians This small book is a collection of letters that Catherine De Hueck Doherty uses to write in response to Seminarian's who wrote her. With the permission of the bishop, she compiled letters to the most asked questions and published them so that all may benefit from what she had to share. She has great respect for the priesthood, obedience and Catholic Action program. In her letters she reminds the ...             Dear Mrs. Lindbergh: A Novel5 reviews Kathleen Hughes W. W. Norton & Company, 2003 Dear Mrs. Lindbergh: Well crafted/ characters with depth I want Amazon guests to know how MUCH I enjoyed Kathleen Hughes' first novel. It got better and better as I read on. At first, I was a liitle distanced by the flying talk, but when it got into the family, I got caught. The relationship between Ruth and Henry was so well crafted. This was a real love affair, with real people, flawed, and disappinted in each other, and yet still ready to go on ...             Dear Mrs. Roosevelt: Letters from Children of the Great Depression2 reviews Robert (ed.) Cohen The University of North Carolina Press, 2002 A wonderful way to learn about our grandparent's generation. This book contains absolutely touching letters written by the youth of America during a time when the country was struggling feed, clothe, and employ a large part of the population. Robert Cohen must have spent millions of hours researching the letters that were kept by Mrs. Roosevelt's staff. Chapters focus on the following subjects: Ill-Clothed, Ill-Housed, Ill-Fed; Education; Social Life; and ...             Dear Diary: What My Doctor Never Told Me About Liposuction4 reviews Kathyne L. Jackson 1st Books Library, 2003 Loved It ! I loved this book. If you've always wondered what someone actually goes through after they go home from surgery, wonder no more. Kathyne Jackson told me everything she went through, some of which I have never read nor heard about. Now I really know what to expect.             Dear Friends: American Photographs of Men Together 1840-191811 reviews David Deitcher Harry N. Abrams, 2005 A Wonderfully-Written Book I'm not sure where I heard about this book, but I am grateful to the author for writing it. The photographs Deitcher describes and provides for us are beyond words. They provide such a wonderful insight into male friendships/relationships in the 19th Century and are very interesting to look at and ponder. This book is of particular interest to me as I'm currently writing a novel about a great ...             "Dear Nancy": The Pattern of American Life Revealed in Letters as Published in the Detroit News (SIGNED FIRST ...1 review Detroit, Michigan: The Detroit News (First Edition), 1933 The Dear Abby/Ann Landers of the twenties and thirties! This book was a lot of fun! It consists of letters to the Dear Nancy column of the Detroit News in the early thirties. Many of the writers were seeking advice. I had no idea that "flappers" were anything but a twenties phenomenon, but apparently they continued into the thirties, as a number of readers found it necessary to point out that they were or were not "flappers"! Cowboys were still ...             Dear Socks, Dear Buddy: Kids' Letters to the First Pets17 reviews Hillary Rodham Clinton Simon & Schuster, 1998 Woof Woof In this predictable knockoff of the Presidential pet book series pioneered by several Republican administrations, Diet Roosevelt's cat and dog ("Socks" and "Buddy," respectively) are hagiographically profiled. Author Lady Diet Roosevelt relies largely on letters purloined from a swarm of unsuspecting child correspondents for the body of the text, much as her husband's administration largely ...             One Dear Land1 review Ellen Hadley 1st Books Library, 2004 Writing this book took courage. Have the courage to consider the ideas in this book. You may find peace and direction in your life. It's so easy to be cynical, throw up our hands in despair, and say that world is too complicated to ever change for the better. Merely suggesting ways that we might improve our world seems to invite others to shoot those ideas down as being idealistic and untenable. But if no one has the courage ...              search for books 1840-1918, 1912-1915, account, american, children, depression, detroit, edition, friends, friendship, hartley, infantryman, leprechaun, letters, lindbergh, liposuction, marsden, paramount, pattern, photographs, pictures, president, published, revealed, roosevelt, seminarian, stieglitz, stories, together, vietnam books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
