books by Overlook Hardcover     books:       Thank You, Jeeves (A Jeeves and Bertie Novel)9 reviews P. G. Wodehouse Overlook Hardcover, 2003 Learn your history, please This is one of the funniest of the uniformly funny Jeeves and Wooster books. The scene with Chuffy, Pauline, and Bertie in the bedroom is worth the entire price of the book. Some reviewers have objected to the use of the word "nigger" in the book. This is a British book written in 1936. The word had absolutely no negative connotations in that context at the time (the Gilbert and Sullivan ...             Church Signs Across America11 reviews Steve Paulson, Pam Paulson Overlook Hardcover, 2007 GREAT BOOK THIS BOOK WAS JUST GREAT, SHOWING CHURCH SIGNS ACROSS AMERICA. I HAVE SHARED IT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY ALIKE, AND ALL AGREE IT IS WONDERFUL. THANK YOU FOR THE CHANCE TO OWN IT.             Ma Gastronomie4 reviews Fernand Point Overlook/Rookery Hardcover, 2008 The REAL Chef of all time Fernand Point was the greatest chef of all time. This is especially evident when one considers that his apprentices included Paul Bocuse and Jean Banchet. Point was so driven a cuisinier that he literally died in his kitchen, of a heart attack. During the German occupation of France, rather than serve the German officers, he politely closed his restaurant, one of few to do so. A master of ...             The Dilemma6 reviews Penny Vincenzi Overlook Hardcover, 2007 Terrific read Just finished this terrific book and had to write my review. I found it totally absorbing, the characters extraordinarily well-drawn and the complicated plot fascinating. In fact, I've stayed up much of the night to finish it. I agree with a reviewer below that Bard's daughter Kirsten (not Kate, as she mistakenly said) is particularly empathetic but I liked the fact that each and every ...             The Secret History of the World: As Laid Down by the Secret Societies27 reviews Mark Booth Overlook Hardcover, 2008 Courage and humility I say it whispering....I am a member of a "secret" society. Now, let me point out to you two things: Our doors have always been open to EVERYONE, after all there was nothing "secret" at all. There was never any brainwashing, but a real "training" to find out the truth for ourselves. You should start form this assumption: Science, as we know it today, says that EVERYTHING must be true for ...             The Lolita Effect: The Media Sexualization of Young Girls and What We Can Do About It7 reviews M. Gigi Durham Overlook Hardcover, 2008 Every mother must read this! I recently came across this book and couldn't help but pick it up, being a mother of two teenage girls. Durham really approaches this topic with a fresh set of eyes, and discusses examples that we come across every day. This is a refreshingly smart look at what has (for me at least) been a really troubling issue. She talks about cultural trends without getting too academic and keeps it at a ...             The Better Angels5 reviews Charles McCarry Overlook Hardcover, 2008 Chillingly predicts the events of 9/11 It's been awhile sice I read this book, but after 9/11, I thought about how shockingly close to the actual events The Better Angels becomes. Especially note worthy is the Islamic cleric hiding in caves and the rigged election using what was then very ahead-of-its time computer technology. This book along with all of McCarry's work is excellent fiction. He writes so well, its a shame his books ...             An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming5 reviews Nigel Lawson Overlook Hardcover, 2008 A Ph.D in Global Warming This book is an extremely rational look at global warming that ultimately asks the reader, although not explicitly, to consider why human-kind still has a pronounced, if not suicidal, collectivist, and socialistic instinct when in all of human history only freedom has produced salutatory results. As the world socialistically unites around global warming here is the heart of Nigel Lawson's ...             The Fourth of July: And the Founding of America1 review Peter De Bolla Overlook Hardcover, 2008 The Fourth of July An excellent book. The author brings out many points about the founding of this country that are just not common knowledge. This book should be required reading in all advanced level high school senior classes.             Carry On, Jeeves (A Jeeves and Bertie Novel)30 reviews P. G. Wodehouse Overlook Hardcover, 2003 A Capital Collection This volume of ten stories originally hails from 1925. I read them in the 1999- 2000 Penguin paperback edition. While many readers like the covers by Ionicus on earlier Penguin paperbacks, these recent editions with covers by David Hitch are my favorites. They are very well done, reasonably priced and just the right size, which is to say, perfect for the novice or seasoned Wodehouse reader. The ...             The Secret Universe of Names11 reviews Roy Feinson Overlook Hardcover, 2004 It's About Time! Finally. A new, one of the few , books out on the "spirit" of the name. My biggest question is methodology. How did you do it? How is the author so right-on with the name analysis? Where do you go to learn more about this type of study? This book got me hooked. There's more to a name then there appears to be. This book was the most useful out of all my 20 or 30 or so baby naming books. This ...             Ten Bad Dates with De Niro: A Book of Alternative Movie Lists1 review Richard T. Kelly Overlook/Rookery Hardcover, 2008 Finally an original movie 'list' book There are hundreds of books out there full of film lists - on the top 10 or 100 or 101 or 1001 greatest movies/worst movies/most expensive flops/greatest stars/most important film directors whatever. This book has fun with the idea, with some truly original and often very funny Top 10 lists. The writing is witty, and the writers (including the Coen Brothers, Steven Soderbergh, and DBC Pierre ...             My Man Jeeves (Collector's Wodehouse)8 reviews P.G. Wodehouse Overlook Hardcover, 2007 clean surface and sleek condition the book is in excellent, in fact, perfect, shape, and has a beautiful feel to it--the contents are the usual brilliant Jeeves and Wooster humor!             Second Sight: A Paul Christopher Novel4 reviews Charles McCarry Overlook Hardcover, 2007 McCarry is the Best, Bar None Choosing the best Charles McCarry novel is like choosing the best Mozart Sonata. There is no best, there are only favorites. There is a lovely scene in this book where the head of the "Outfit," McCarry's version of the CIA, and his sweet, wonderful wife entertain a trendy rich radically chic couple. The scene sums up everything that was wrong about the 60s and even if the rest of the book wasn't ...             Traversa: A Solo Walk Across Africa, from the Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean4 reviews Fran Sandham Overlook Hardcover, 2008 Here Be Lions (and a donkey) It's hard to read many travel books without a sense of 'Why? Why are you putting yourself through all this?' and Traversa is no exception. Those who sit at home may not understand what drives some people to these lengths, but that doesn't stop us lapping it up and asking for more. In this enthralling book, Sandham brings his solo walk from the aptly-named Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean to ...             Plum Pie1 review P.G. Wodehouse Overlook Hardcover, 2008 an excellent collection Plum Pie is a particularly good Wodehouse collection. There's a Jeeves and Wooster story, a couple of Blandings stories, two about Bertie's friend Bingo Little, and other assorted tales. The standout is probably "Life with Freddie", a long story about Freddie Threepwood (son of Lord Emsworth of Blandings Castle) and zany goings-on aboard a ship from England to New York. Interspersed with the ...             Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit5 reviews P. G. Wodehouse Overlook Hardcover, 2002 Gentle satire of upperclass life seen through the eyes of a "gentleman's gentleman." With delightful, tongue-in-cheek humor, P. G. Wodehouse continues the adventures of Bertie Wooster, an often silly member of the upper class who depends on his much more sensible "gentleman's gentleman," Jeeves, to keep his life from falling apart. In this novel, Wooster has been growing a mustache for the two weeks that Jeeves has been on a shrimping holiday, and he fears that Jeeves will not ...             Landscaping with Fruits and Vegetables1 review Fred Hagy Overlook Hardcover, 2001 Great Reference I ordered this book through Amazon.com because we are interested in using fruits and vegetables in landscaping. Actually, we just plain like to garden and eat. Landscaping is secondary. Fruit tree catalogues are very basic, and frustrating. You see some closeup's of a fruit, and that's it. No sense of the tree or shrub shape, seasonal looks, the plant's needs, or anything else. So, it's hard to ...             Something Fishy P.G. Wodehouse Overlook Hardcover, 2008 Something Fishy is top-notch Wodehouse. When Keggs was a butler he eavesdropped on a meeting between his employer, J.J. Bunyan, and a covey of tycoons--J.J. and his associates each agreed to put up fifty-thousand dollars, the total to go to whichever of their sons was the last to marry. Thirty years later, Keggs wants to cash in on what he knows.             The Inimitable Jeeves (The Collector's Wodehouse)22 reviews P.G. Wodehouse Overlook Hardcover, 2007 The Best of the Best The Twenties produced several notable works of fiction, and right there in with the best of them is this, the most delightful of all the Jeeves and Wooster entries. Composed of a running series of short stories originally published in the Strand and Cosmopolitan magazines, "The Initimable Jeeves" achieves its distinction through the remarkable quality level of the stories combined with the ...              search for books across, africa, alternative, america, christopher, church, collector, dilemma, feudal, founding, fourth, fruits, gastronomie, global, history, indian, inimitable, landscaping, second, secret, sexualization, skeleton, societies, something, spirit, traversa, universe, vegetables, warming, wodehouse books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
