Take Back Control of your Life
Once in awhile, if you're really lucky, a book comes along that will change your life. Death By Supermarket is one of those books. Initially,I was curious about it because of its intriguing title and now I'm a huge fan and supporter of its message. I have always eaten pretty well--or so I thought--but so much has changed after reading this book.I eat only real food now--foods that have been ...

Thrilling Page Turner!
This was one of the few books that I have read in one sitting. The story and the characters come together to create one of the most exciting, intense, and provocative books that I have ever read. I cant wait till the movie comes out.

Gary Magnesen
Barricade Books, 2005
Time past will allow for a calm review of this book!!!
The Investigation by Gary Magnesen represents the trifecta of historical research. Magnesen has the rare combination of an FBI career, Nevada residency and a degree in psychology as implements to harvest the truth in regards to the "Mormon Will." Fragmented by time and lore, the tale of the unlikely Samaritan, Melvin Dummar is cast in the bright white light of a logical and linear review by a ...

I laughed so hard my stomach hurt
I've seen other 'dirty' joke books, but they don't even compare to this one. Livelsberger gives his book style -- trashy style!

Barricade Books, 2007
The Counting Game is the "must-have" blackjack counting book for anyone seeking to make money at casino tables
The Counting Game: An Accountant Reveals How to Win at Blackjack is different from an ordinary "how-to" gambling guide in that author Alan Berg is not only a skilled professional gambler (so good at winning money through card counting he's been banned in casinos across America), but also a certified public accountant. The Counting Game teaches the reader about the mechanics of card counting, the ...

Erika V. Shearin Karres
Barricade Books, 2001
NOT The Sound Of Music
"All I have ever know is having to scrounge around for food. But that's not so bad if you have the one thing you deperately need." This is not some sentimental or romantic fairy tale. This is an eyes-wide-open look at what life was like for one little girl and her family trying to scrath out a life in Germany from her birth in 1939 through the 1950s. She struggles with her siblings (10 at one ...
Mark Twain Remembers: A Novel

Thomas Hauser
Barricade Books, 1999
Mark Twain comes back to life!
Mark Twain Remembers arrived in the mail and I hungrily devoured it, savoring every morsel of its clever prose and intriguing personalities. But I am not sated, just sad that the book is finished, and will seek out other books authored by Thomas Hauser. Deliberately trying to prolong my pleasure and immersion into the life of Samuel Clemens, not wanting it to end, I attempted to put off ...

Warren Allen Smith
Barricade Books, 2000
Quirky and valuable little reference book
This is a really unusual book which is entertaining enough to pick up and read from cover to cover. However I think its real value is that it is an interesting and detailed reference book. Have you ever read a horror novel that makes reference to some obscure demon up from the pits of Hell? This book will tell you all about it. Or some historical romance which makes reference to someone who ...

The Official Guide to Wine Snobbery (A Cult Classic) (A Cult Classic)
7 reviews
Leonard S. Berstein
Barricade Books, 2003
Funniest Wine book ever
The book is written as an autobiographical story about Bernstein's quest to reach the upper ranks of wine snobbery. He covers what to order and when (and how to go from impressive to daringly impressive w/out spending too much) paring wine with food, what to do with the cork, how to taste wine without looking dumb, best names for wine ever, etc. This book is great for beginners because it's a ...

Doug White

POWERFUL VISIONING PROCESS
As an Executive Director of a large inner city Social Service Agency this is a great book. Most of us all agree you have to have a vision where you want to be, and how you want to get there. Mr. White clearly has a vision that all charities should strive for the highest ETHICAL and not just legal standards. His book has a lot to offer in helping us keep our minds on that job, while we also try to ...

Barricade Books, 1996
History as it was being made
This book is a real eye opener. It completly changed my perspective on the history of the Middle East and how the British, who so often have come accross as the "white knight" was in fact the dirty thief. The book is a monster in size and in the amount of information it presents. It documented and footnoted to a degree that one would expect from a work of this nature. I highly suggest it to ...

From well-known celebrities to politicians to Ms. Areu herself, you are inspired by stories of how all of these people pursued their dreams and found success. ...
A Day for a Lay: A Century of Gay Poetry

Barricade Books, 1999
The Poetry Reaches Deep into the Gay Spirit
"A Day for a Lay" came first to my attention as an "underground" poem by WH Auden. My friend, the Late Cade Ware, a Gay Activist in Washington, DC, brought it to me and we marveled at its wonderful images and sensual awareness. How we longed for more gay poets. Well, there are gay poets of great passion. Not sentimental boy meets boy, or the the bathos of death poets, but poets that give ...

The best book on a serial killer I have ever read.
This book is not for the timid. However, if you truely want to get into the mind of a serial killer, this is the book for you. Of all the books I have read on the subject, this offered the most insight into the mind of the actual killer. From the moment I picked it up, I could not put it down.

Barricade Books, 1994
Literally Saved My Life
At a loss to figure out why I was so ill, my doctor recommended I use the information in this book to determine if food allergies might be the source of my health problems (daily migraine, violent coughing fits lasting 8+ hours, chronic fatique, severe depression, sinus problems, memory loss, confusion, disorientation... and the list went on and on...and on). The migraine had begun some 30 years ...
