I'm not ashamed of accepting this "language expiration date" -- there was no reason not to, and besides, it tracked with my own ...             Side Glances: The Best from America's Most Popular Automotive Writer7 reviews Peter Egan Brooklands Books, 2006 Just another great book from Egan Somehow, Egan talks about things I have also done or thought about, and uses just the right words to describe them...Amazing. Like the others in the series, these are repeats from Road and Track. Even though I have read most of them before, that does not diminish the joy I feel in reading them again (and again!).             D-DAY (History at a Glance)8 reviews Randy Holderfield, Michael J. Varhola Savas Publishing, 2000 Excellent Overlord Overview D-Day is often presented in books, films and other media as a two-dimensional episode between Germans and Americans. In this refreshing volume, the significant roles of the British and Canadian--and even the French--forces are described along with those of the Americans, and the role of Ukrainians, old men, and boys forced into uniform is covered along with that of the Germans. At the core of ...             Welcome Aboard: Inside the World's Greatest Yachts5 reviews Matthew Walker First Glance Books, 1998 Wonderful Book! I really enjoyed this book. Recommend it to all.

Greenstein: The Mighty Atom16 reviews Ed Spielman First Glance Books, 1998 Essential, Excellent and Inspirational Ever heard of man bite through tempered iron with his teeth...or hang from an airplane by his hair? Just because you may not have heard of Joseph "Mighty Atom" Greenstein or his accomplishments it does not mean you should ignore this book, quite the opposite in fact. I got this book as a young child in the 1980's and have read it many times. A riveting and inspirational read. Anyone ...             Side Glances, Volume 1: 1983-19925 reviews R.M. Clarke Brooklands Books, 2001 A must own for any Peter Egan fan Actually, I own the hardback version of this book which covers 1983-1997. Ever since reading my first Side Glances column in Road and Track ("Lee's TR-3") almost eleven ago I have been a big fan of Peter Egan. Anyone who loves cars (particularly old British cars) should own this book. I only wish that all of his feature stories would be put together in one volume as well.             Italian Immigrant Cooking (Immigrant Cookbook Series, Bk. #1)40 reviews Elodia Rigante First Glance Books, 1995 Best Authentic Italian I love this cookbook!!!

As expected, the level of detail and obvious meticulous research were as I expected. Another successful and vivid portrait of a very gripping historical period from an author who clearly knows his history. The wealth of little details interspersed throughout the mandatory historical details make this a true ...             Japanese at a Glance6 reviews Nobuo Akiyama, Carol Akiyama Barron's Educational Series, 1998 A great little book, chock full of utility.

It has everything from how to talk to a doctor to how to convert from American clothing sizes to European.

For every word/phrase in the book, it even tells you phonetically, how to say it.             Wanted: The Search for Nazis in America3 reviews Howard Blum First Glance Books, 1989 A Scary Book!

It includes the basics along with some idioms and colloquialisms which I would have been totally lost without. Of all the dictionaries and Spanish reference books I have, this is certainly the most useful for travel and quick reference. I ...             The Celebrated Cases of Dick Tracy, 1931-19513 reviews Chester Gould First Glance Books, 1990 The History of Dick Tracy!

Seligman, I-Chuan Chen Barrons Educational Series Inc, 1986 Incredible book for students and travelers to China This book was an incredible resource for me as I toured through China this summer, studying the language and culture.

The book is organized into sections such as "Meeting People" and "Shopping" and "At the Doctor" that will help ...             The Unseen Van Gogh3 reviews R. Muhlberger First Glance Books, 1998 You can feel the impasto! This is a sweeping and beautifully lush book; one of the best Van Gogh picture books I have seen. The text annotating each painting is short but very descriptive especially as regards the author's analysis of composition, color and technique. The detailed enlargements allow you to study the magnificence of Van Gogh's brushwork and color. The author also uses Van Gogh's many letters to his ...             Quiet Pride: Ageless Wisdom of the American West (Earthsong Collection)3 reviews J.

It is, to my mind, the definitive guide to a badly misrepresented decade. Mr. Bailey's writing is witty and readable throughout, never didactic or ponderous, and the lavish illustrations will satisfy even the most anti-literate coffeetable connoisseur. A wow.             Side Glances, Volume 3: 1998-2002 (General)3 reviews Peter Egan Brooklands Books, 2003 Egan does it yet again.
