books by Barnes & Noble     books:       Peanuts treasury19 reviews Charles M Schulz Barnes & Noble Books, 2002 Peanuts Treasury is NOT the same as Peanuts Treasury Apparently there has been a mix-up: The two "editions" of this book DON'T correspond to each other. I've bought the paperback one, and it does not contain some of the strips mentioned in the review section.             Devils of Loudun18 reviews Aldous Huxley Barnes Noble Books The Devils You Say One of the joys of reading is how one subject can lead to a serendipitous find. Having recently come across a brief reference to the early 17th century barking nuns of Loudon I went in search of a more detailed exploration. In Aldous Huxley's book I found all that I sought and much more. Urbain Grandier, the local parson of Loudon, is a very naughty cleric who partakes much too much of the ...             Little Black, A Pony (Black Stallion Literacy Project)34 reviews Walter Farley Barnes & Noble, 2000 My favourite book of all time Little Black, a pony - this was the only book I ever wanted my mother to read to me at bedtime. Now, some thirty five years later, I have just bought a copy of the book and it has bought back some wonderful childhood memories. I used to recite the book to my mother word for word and even today, as I flicked through the pages, I remembered the story ! It bought a tear to my eye reading it and ...             No Man Is an Island20 reviews Thomas Merton Barnes & Noble Books, 2003 Inspired and Inspiring "No Man is an Island" is a spiritually moving set of essays--or meditations, rather--that address many issues but ultimately center on our relationship with God, with each other, and with ourselves. Having read only a little of Merton, I found this book somewhat more straightforward and prosaic compared to a later work of his, "The New Man", and he gets a tad dogmatic in spots (well, he is ...             One Hundred and One Famous Poems (Poetry)30 reviews Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Gordon - Lord Byron, ... Barnes & Noble Books, 1993 Mother's Love As a child my mother read from this book to me and to my father. She need not have read much as she memorized many of the poems and can recite them now, though well past her 90th year. I have given this book to many of my friends and consider it a gift of love and inspiration.             The Complete Adventures of Homer Price59 reviews Robert McCloskey Barnes & Noble Books, 1998 Crazy Centerburg, somewhere in the USA. Homer Price A collection of heartwarming tales from a small town in the USA, as told by one of its younger residents. Shades of Bill Bryson, except that Homer Price predates him by a generation or more. Wonderful, quirky illustrations by the author himself, who has a an eye for detail similar to that of Norman Rockwell.             I love Lucy: The complete picture history of the most popular TV show ever25 reviews Michael McClay Barnes & Noble, 2001 Through McClay You Get the Complete Picture AMAZING!! This is one of the best books written about "I Love Lucy." Michael McClay certainly knew what he was doing when he gave us this great book on the best show in picture history. Through many pictures (many in color) and words, McClay is able to tell you ALL about "I Love Lucy" and the great people that made it so great. He tells not only about the people at the time of the show, but ...             Big Book of Hell16 reviews Matt Groening Barnes & Noble Books, 2006 One of Greoning's Best I must say, Big Book of Hell is 10 times better than Huge Book of Hell. Funnier, less preachy, bigger, and just plain better. It's honest, and extremely observant of the little stupid things we do every day. Matt's detailed descriptions of school and work are so true, I wish I would have written them. Bongo's anti-school agenda is so funny and true. The strips with the eyes and Bongo strapped in ...             Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking463 reviews Allen Carr Barnes Noble Books It works!!! The Easy Way to Stop Smoking: Join the Millions Who Have Become Non-Smokers Using Allen Carr's Easyway Method I was a smoker for 19 years. I tried to quit many times (hypnosis, will power, "Smoke Away", gum, est.), but it kept hunt me! But this time I know - it is the VERY LAST TIME! I will never start again! I am sure and confident! It is like I escaped from prison and there are no way back! ...             The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Essential Oils: The Complete Guide to the Use of Oils in Aromatherapy and ...24 reviews Julia Lawless Barnes & Noble, 1995 Your Aromatherapy library is not complete if you don't have the book If I had to have only two books in my Aromatherapy Library, this would be one of them, along with The Complete Guide to Aromatherapy, by Salvatore Battaglia. I have been an Aromatherapist since 2003, I know - a relatively short time - but a productive time, and I could not have accomplished what I have without this book. It is a very complete list - if not the best list - of essential oils ...             The Campaigns of Alexander11 reviews Arrian Barnes & Noble Books, 1986 Of Myth and Men The most amazing thing that about this book is that Arrian somehow managed to rescue the man from the legend, the god from the myth and the story from the soothsayers. He intended to write a factual history of the great leader but by necessity was forced to rely on word of mouth, old stories, past recollections and hardly any authoritative manuscripts. Considering what he had to work with, the ...             The Three Musketeers (Barnes & Noble Classics)12 reviews Alexandre Dumas Barnes & Noble Classics, 2004 The Three Musketeers-- A Timeless Tale (S. Black) Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers is a thrilling tale of courage, loyalty and love. Anyone who enjoys a fast-paced, intelligent adventure will be intrigued by this story, centered around a young man from the country, D'Artagnan, on his quest to join the ranks of the king's musketeers and later to win the heart of the woman he loves. The story begins in a small town in France in the 17th ...             The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave (Barnes & Noble Classics Series): An ...12 reviews Frederick Douglass Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005 Worth Every Penny I needed this book for an 11th grade summer assignment so I decided to purchase this version of the book. I loved how the price was good, and I loved the extra bits of information at the beginning of the book (like the timeline). I suggest anyone intrested in reading this book purchase this version...it definately was worth it!             Watson's classic book on the play of the hand at bridge, (Everyday handbooks)14 reviews Louis H Watson Barnes & Noble, 1959 The utimate bridge book First, my mother tongue is French, I'm sure you will excuse my style. In the past, I read Mollo, Kantar, Grant... always on a quest to find a great and complete bridge book and never entirely satisfied... too simplistic, too advanced, hard to read, poor teaching skills... I wanted to find a book that was covering both the dummy play and the defense. Also, I wanted to revisit the very basics, to ...             The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody: Great Figures of History Hilariously Humbled12 reviews Will Cuppy Barnes & Noble, 1992 Don't know much about History It is the funniest History lesson one can ever hope to get. I wish I had Cuppy as my high school teacher. My brother and I would not have skipped school to hang out in the railroad station. From Pericles to Attila the Hun to Charlemagne to Nero to the Sun King all reduced to ordinary average Joe, making a living as an emperor, conqueror or just your garden variety Pope of the Dark Age. Every ...             Lost Illusions (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (Barnes & Noble Classics)16 reviews Honore de Balzac Barnes & Noble Classics, 2007 Swimming among sharks This is one of the best novels by Balzac, which is to say much, since he is still one of the best writers that have ever lived. Here, as in the rest of his work, the reader can appreciate Balzac's knowledge of worldly life, and especially the world of business, so alien to other writers. In this book he elaborates on the printing business as well as on journalism -vastly so-, back when it first ...             The Only Way to Cross12 reviews John Maxtone-Graham Barnes & Noble, 1997 The Only Book to Read... I had the pleasure of meeting John Maxtone-Graham aboard the SS Norway in 1985. He autographed a copy of "The Only Way to Cross" and I have read it at least 3 times. I'll never tire of his detailed accounts of the ships and the people that made that era. What I found really wonderful about the book was not only learning about the best parts of transatlantic travel but the worst as well. The ...             Castles and fortresses10 reviews Robin S Oggins Barnes & Noble Books, 1998 Buy it! This is one of my favorite "coffee table" books. To begin with, it's huge. The cover is an outstanding photo of the breathtaking Neuschwanstein (there's an even better one on page 96). The first few chapters give an illustrated (via hand drawings as well as awesome photos) history of the castle, its many functions, and its evolution. Chapters 3 through 6 focus on the castles of Great Britain, ...              search for books adventures, alexander, american, aromatherapy, campaigns, castles, classic, classics, complete, douglass, encyclopedia, essential, everybody, everyday, fortresses, frederick, handbooks, herbalism, hilariously, humbled, hundred, illusions, illustrated, literacy, musketeers, narrative, peanuts, practically, stallion, treasury books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
