Stanley Berkley, 2006 VERY WELL WRITTEN I read loads of true crime, and this one is very well written and is a good story. I wasn't familiar with this case and I like to learn the details of a case as I go along, and that is the way this is written. Some true crimes give the ending away in a preface, or a first chapter which I do not like. This is very a very intersting case of a serial killer, and I can only imagine the horror this ...             Cars Of The Sizzling 60's: A Decade Of Great Rides And Good Vibrations (Automotive)10 reviews Auto Editors of Consumer Guide Publications International, 2001 Great colour pictures with notes in point form.

Miller Two-Sixty Press, 1999 Outstanding information, decent writing Richard Miller's "Under the Cloud" is probably a must-read for any of the late baby-boomers like myself who grew up during the Cold War but mostly after above-ground nuclear testing had ended. I was born in 1957 and for most of my life, the above-ground tests were a thing of the past and not really much discussed. But Miller's book reveals how I and most others of my age were probably victims ...             Disney That Never Was: The Stories and Art of Five Decades of Unproduced Animation6 reviews Charles Solomon Disney Editions, 1995 Pull back the curtain and see what's behind Disney is often considered to be the premiere house for animation.

Flammang Publications International, 2000 Good if you prefer pictures I bought this book as a gift for my dad, so I can't say whether or not I personally liked it. I thought it was a perfect gift for my dad because it has lots of pictures and not a lot of text (my dad isn't big on reading). The most text it has is captions under the pictures. He seemed to enjoy it - he spent an hour or two rummaging through it, and he still pulls it out every now and then (which is ...              search for books animation, automotive, bavarian, changing, chronology, commentary, companion, developmental, discourses, embryologist, experiences, fabulous, handcrafted, hysterectomy, independent, interviews, invisible, longevity, machiavelli, misinformed, mobilereference, oberammergau, observing, published, sizzling, squirrels, strategies, unnecessary, unproduced, vibrations books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
