It was full of information about interesting games, obscure statistics, and I found the details of how baseball was played in the old days very entertaining as well. For example, train schedules dictated that some games had to end ...             Barry Sanders Now You See Him: His Story in His Own Words16 reviews Barry Sanders Emmis Books, 2005 THE GREATEST RUNNING BACK IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME WE CALL "FOOTBALL" I was so glad to see this book and DVD come out. The story of Barry Sanders the NFL's legendary running back who played for the Detroit Lions for his entire NFL career. Barry Sanders didn't break the biggest records but, his name is mentioned as a runner up for all of them. This was mainly because Barry didn't play the game to break records. He played the game to the best of his abilities..... ...             Sandi C. Shore's Secrets to Standup Success: A Complete Step-by-Step Workbook2 reviews Sandi C. Shore Emmis Books, 2004 Laughter is HEALING I have been laughing and joking my whole life, because if you don't laugh you just might cry. I think it is like that with most funny people. As it was a life-long dream of mine, I finally took the plunge and bought Sandi's book and enrolled in her class on how to be a stand-up comedian. That was eight weeks ago and I got more from Sandi's book than I did in TEN YEARS OF THERAPY!!! I lost 25 ...             No Safe Harbor: The Tragedy of the Dive Ship Wave Dancer20 reviews Joe Burnworth Emmis Books, 2005 Excellent read As a diving aficionado, I remember hearing about the Wavedancer tragedy when it occurred, but never knew the background and details surrounding the event. I stumbled upon this book by accident, bought it on a whim (and based on Theresa Mars's review) and am glad I did. Joe Burnworth has created a vivid and interesting account of an event that robbed us of so many good people, but the story is ...             Red Legs and Black Sox: Edd Roush and the Untold Story of the 1919 World Series17 reviews Susan Dellinger Emmis Books, 2006 The Other Side of the Black Sox Scandal While numerous books exist regarding the Black Sox Scandal of 1919, this book takes a unique perspective.

While this book tells much the same story as ...             Starkweather: Inside the Mind of a Teenage Killer2 reviews William Allen Emmis Books, 2004 actually, reviewing the orignial pressing... An easy read, a bit dated now many years after the first edition, but still a nice history of that week in January and subsequent events. Allen tells a nice story without glorification of starkweather, and plenty of first hand observations noted. It is the definitive look into this case.             Richard's Poor Almanac: 12 Months of Misinformation in Handy Cartoon Form8 reviews Emmis Books, 2004 Masterful! At last! A great collection of masterpieces! Richard is a true genius and the artwork shines. A treasured book!             U.S. Immigration and Citizenship: Your Complete Guide (U S Immigration and Citizenship)5 reviews Allan Wernick Emmis Books, 2004 A great book for simple immigration cases There are many persons who believe immigration attorneys are necessary in every case - untrue. For the most part, a healthy dose of self-help is prudent and cost-effective. This book describes common scenarios and basic legal cases in what can only be described as "story book" form - clear, concise and direct. I have read all the self help manuals and this one deserves your review. If you ...             Turn That Down!: A Hysterical History of Rock, Roll, Pop, Soul, Punk, Funk, Rap, Grunge, Motown, Metal, ...3 reviews Lewis Grossberger Emmis Books, 2005 A Monumental Study of Rock & Roll! It's Glacial! Grossberger is a force of nature. His comedic gift blurs the lines between fact and fiction, music and mischief. He invents a history of music from the 50s to the present day, leveling the playing field. It's zany, zooey, unglued, and hyperbolic, just like the musicians themselves. It's a book for Elvis fans, Beatlemanias, Little Richardarians, Motownians, Madonna maniacs, Bowie wowies--in other ...             Holy Tango of Literature8 reviews Francis Heaney Emmis Books, 2004 All The Literature You'll Ever Need This is wonderful stuff by a true comic polymath. Just read "Likable Wilma" by William Blake, which begins, "Wilma, Wilma, in thy blouse, Red-haired prehistoric spouse" , and you'll know what I mean. I have a conflict of interest here (I drew the pictures) but I laughed hard at Francis Heaney's work before I got tangled up with it, when I first saw it in Mirth of a Nation. Buy The Holy Tango ...             Mastering the Universe: He-Man and the Rise and Fall of a Billion-Dollar Idea15 reviews Roger Sweet, Wecker David Emmis Books, 2005 The rise and fall of the 'He-Man and Masters of Universe' toy line is revealed by the creator himself If you're an industry outsider who believes the children's toy industry must be a satisfying place to work, take a look at the office politics and conflicts revealed behind the scenes in Mastering The Universe: He-Man And The Rise And Fall Of A Billion-Dollar Idea.

Two books with similar titles came out within weeks of each other. Which one should you buy? The books are: DAY BY DAY WITH THE BOSTON RED SOX by Bill Nowlin RED SOX JOURNAL by John Synder. Snyder's book is subtitled "Year by Year & Day by Day with the Boston Red Sox Since 1901." Nowlin's book looks like the better one to me, but anyone who can afford both should buy both as they ...             Defying Gravity: A Celebration of Late-Blooming Women20 reviews Prill Boyle Emmis Books, 2005 Good For Reading Aloud In this eclectic collection of interviews and stories of "late blooming" women, the reader hears from across the spectrum about women who have pursued a dream, in spite of their age.

Between stories, her journal entries add perspective and sentiment as they serve to usher the ...             Shadows in the Asylum: The Case Files of Dr. Charles Marsh4 reviews D. A. Stern Emmis Books, 2005 An Innovative Addition to the Horror Genre When any given publisher releases a book with a theme in which it specializes, such a work does not necessarily warrant attention; chaff gets pretty thoroughly mixed with palatable morsels in many cases, and this is as true with horror -- more true, perhaps -- than with many other genres. But when a reputable regional publisher releases a bona fide horror title, it makes a conscientious fan ...             Agents Directory3 reviews Emmis Books, 2004 A veritable compendium of insider information In The Agents Directory: Everything You Need To Know To Sell Your Book Or Script by editor-turned-agent Rachel Vater is a veritable compendium of insider information on what a literary agent does, instructions on how to tell a good agent from a bad one, and practical advice on how to approach an agent by mail or at a writer's conference.
