G.B. Edwards, John Fowles

Knopf, 1981

Every reader will be enriched.
What can I add to the almost unanimous chorus of praise and rave reviews? Not much. But this is such an exceptional yet so inexplicably little-known book that I feel obliged to join the chorus. THE BOOK OF EBENEZER LE PAGE reminds me, as unlikely as this particular combination may sound, of both Thomas Hardy and Mark Twain. Indeed, for a rough approximation of the narrator Ebenezer Le Page ...

Invaluable text for civil war collectors
This is a seminal collection of knowledge that no civil war book collection should be without! Written during the immediate aftermath of the war, it embodies all the sentiments and spirit of the times and is therefore an invaluable addition to the understanding of the civil war and of American history itself. An absolute "must have"!!

Great book for baseball lovers
I remember this reading this book in 7th grade and i will never forget it. It was writen with pride and dignity you felt that the great BAMBINO was a hero and he was to most people. I really recommend this book to baseball lovers and people who are interested with this topic. Oh Guernsey Van Riper and Seymour Fleishman did a excellent job writting and illustrating this book.

Jim Brandenburg

Walker & Company, 1994

STUNNING FULL COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS
Acclaimed nature photographer Jim Brandenburg has focused his camera eye on Namibia, its landscape, people, and animals. Bordered by Angola, Zimbabwe and the Atlantic Ocean, Namibia is a mysterious land of searing sand and cool waters. It is best described by contrasts, but better seen through the marvelous full-color photographs in this striking volume. Although "Namib" means "Place of no ...

The Magic Half

Bloomsbury USA Children's Books, 2007

An exciting page turner!
The Magic Half was recommended to me by Jeanne Birdsall the author of The Penderwicks (another terrific read for this age group) and I was not disappointed. My 10 year old daughter and I read it together. It was wonderful. Miri is quite a likable main character. She is adventurous and a strong thinker - my daughter was trying to figure out each step along with Miri throughout the book. We got so ...

Into the Minds of Babes: How Screen Time Affects Children from Birth to Age Five

Lisa Guernsey

Basic Books, 2007

A must read for parents who own a screen
I read this book quickly because I couldn't put it down. The research and thought that went into this book are tremendous. It is well organized and unbiased. Maybe the title for this post should be "if you want to tell others how bad TV is, read this book first". The research shows that parents need to parent their kids and take responsibility for kids and their own actions. Yes, some TV is ...

Guernsey

Guernsey's Auction House, 1998

This book brings together Past and Present Baseball History
This was a great way to commemorate the end of a fantastic Baseball season. It contains some great stories of Bobby Thompson, Babe Ruth and Roger Maris as well as the stories behind McGwire's 63, 67,68 and 70 homerun balls and Sosa's 61, 64 and 66 homerun balls. The catalog also makes a great coffee table book.

Classic Knits for Kids: 30 Traditional Aran and Guernsey Designs for 0-6 Years

Debbie Bliss

Peter Smith Pub Inc, 2001

the Best Bliss Book
....and I mean it. This one is really good. Like many other knitters I have been burned by Bliss' designs often. Her designs do tend to repeat themselves from collection to collection and the pictures, while cute, never show the designs properly. Well, this collection has b&w pictures of the items next to the instructions after the color pictures which are huddled in the front of the book. (I'm ...

Soldier's Home

Bruce Guernsey

Water Press and Media, 2003

A moment of light in all that dark
Guernsey's "Soldier's Home" reminds me of why I lost interest in post-World War II American poetry. His latest collection is almost everything that most American poetry of the last half-century is not. Though intensely personal, the poems are neither self-indulgent navel-gazing, nor celebration of inanities, nor raucous bombast and blather. The poems' language is New England American: ...

The Ultimate Theatre Book
This is a true treasure of a book. What the editor does is he: Reviews the year in theatre for New York (Broadway, Off Broadway, and Off-Off Broadway), which is great for theatre enthusiasts (like myself) who don't live anywhere near New York. Produces synopsis of the prize winning plays of the season (He covers the New York Critics, The Lortel, The Tony, and The Pulitzer prizes/awards). ...

City Fishing

Stackpole Books, 2002

Thought-Provoking Sampler
I stumbled onto this book as a bargain offering, thinking that the idea of a book on fishing near cities was an interesting one. It turned out to be a collection of some of the best short fishing stories that I have read. Some were reprinted from other sources, but many seem to have been produced expressly for this volume. Most are very personal, non-fiction stories about trying to slip in ...

George Forty

Pen and Sword, 2002

Army of Occupation
This Battleground Europe paperback on the Channel Islands: Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, and Sark from World War II is afforable and interesting. Lt.Col. Forty also covers this same subject in his hardbound, larger volume "Channel Islands at War." Both books, depending on one's interest, and pocketbook, are worth the time. I became interested in the channel islands of WWII through some of the ...

Wonderful!
This is a marvelous book, full of interviews with the Broadway Elite -both legit and Musical Creators. Each chapter deals selectively with a combination of writers so information is always varied. Everyone from Arthur Laurents to Terrence McNally make a contribution. Excellent! Curtain Times - The New York Theater 1965-1987

Advanced Negotiation and Mediation Theory and Practice: A Realistic Integrated Approach

Paul J Zwier; Thomas F. Guernsey

National Institute for Trial Advocacy, 2005

Really a great practical book!
I'm not just saying this because Guernsey is the Dean of my law school and a really great guy--this book is excellent. It is very practical and easy to read and understand. Although it's a little pricey for its size, if you need to negotiate ANYTHING, read this book first. My eyes were really opened to what I was doing wrong and how to do them right. This is an excellent book.
