Postcards to Ringo from the 'boys'
It's hard to imagine such major musical stars actually wrote postcards. A very interesting look at the out of spotlite world of the Beatles. I like it!

Totally incredible!
I got this book because I'd read a few of Beverly Lewis' books and enjoyed them. I was not disappointed! This story begins with a tragedy- and the main character is trying to cope with it. Then suddenly, a stranger steps into their life and starts uncovering a dark family secret. Meet Rachel, who was widowed at an early age because of a driving accident. Meet her daughter Annie, a ...

Saucey ladies
This is as much fun for the ladies as it is for me. My wife loved the costuming and sets and commented that the model's shapes were natural, not the artifical centerfold type. The book is anything but pornographic, instead a celebration of a certain time in history.

A Strong Account on Fallow's Experiences Investigating China's Markets
Thinking of China in this low part of the cycle reminds me of a bit from James Fallows' book Postcards From Tomorrow's Square: Reports From China. In it, he retells a memorable anecdote from Susan Shirk. Shirk wrote a book in which she called China a "fragile superpower." Shirk says when she talks about the book in America, people ask: "What do you mean `fragile'?" But when she talks about her ...

An adventurous mystery that middle readers will love
Jason's grandmother has died. They weren't close, in fact, he never met her. He'd heard his parents talk about her dementia, believing she could fly and being pursued by alligators, but their concern had never brought him into close proximity to his father's sometime mother. The trip to Florida to be with his father and help clean out her house is going to mess up his summer vacation. If he ...

Understands Human Behavior
Annie Proulx's style of writing is unique. Her acute understanding and ability to express the vicissitudes of human behavior and reactions to the stimulus provided by life are in-depth and wide ranging. These very attributes are what have, upon very infrequent occasion, caused those readers unable to get into her writing rhythm to dismiss her literary prowess. I am not one of those few and ...

Memorable, Beautiful Novel
Beautifully written, insightful novel that captures the atmosphere and personal experience of life during the period between the world wars in Germany. It is often challenging, always engrossing. There is a true depth of understanding in this author's work and the writing rises to the level of some of the finest literature produced concerning the national character of the German people. The ...

Ansel Adams Postcard Folio is a Perfect Notecard Alternative
"Ansel Adams : Thirty Photographs : A Postcard Folio Book" is a paperback book with 30 of Ansel Adams photographs as rip-out black and white postcards. His work is incredible. I have looked for an alternative to standard notecards for thank you notes, etc. for quite a while. I have found it with this book. It's a postcard/notecard that I feel good about sending. The photos are beautiful, ...

You won't regret it
this little booklet of postcards by James Jean is absolutely fantastic. 30 illustrations that will blow your mind. The design of the entire thing is impressive to the smallest of details...this is more than what I'd expect for the (about) $10 dollars I paid for it. Actually, I might buy a second copy of this "book" just because it's so cool (and so cheap)....one will be for collecting, the ...

Whispers Along The Rails #2
Great Story. Judith Miller is a great writer. Couldn't put this one down. As soon as I finished this one I read the 3rd one and I was not let down. I have read many of her books and the ones she writes with Tracie Peterson. I love reading. I love reading all types of books but I always come back to the 1800's and Judith Miller is a wonderful writer of this period.

An Uncertain Dream
I could not put these books down. I love books in this time period. Now I want to go visit Pullman. Judith Miller's books keep your attention. I just wish she had come out with book 4 because I wanted more of Sophie and Fred. I enjoyed all of the characters. I enjoyed my discussions with my husband about the big strike in Pullman. Judith Miller has great storylines, great history and great ...

Great cards, great deal
I, too, am no great fan of McSweeney's The Magazine, but McSweeney's The Postcards are splendid -- quirky, fun, and a broad enough range of styles and themes to cover any occasion or recipient. Nicely printed on good quality stock, these are a steal.

Fabulous Fashion Explosion!!!
I received 'Fresh Fruits' as a gift from my best friend, and even she is shocked by how in LOVE I am with this book and the photos in it. I am an artist and a fashion designer (among other things), and this book provides so much inspiration--not only for clothing and personal style, but for self-confidence as well. The true message from this book: For those who really want to rock this ...

Classy Album
This is such a great idea that I have filled one album and am getting another. Finally some organization for these treasures! and for a French teacher, the French title is an added bonus.
