Not the best choice for kids--I'd go with the abridged Patrick Stewart version for that--but the reader/actor does a fantastic job on this full-length version.             The Adventures and the Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (Unabridged Classics)1 review Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sterling, 2004 Quality Buy This book is a definite must-buy for all mystery lovers.The stories speak for themselves, but for those who are not familiar with the stories of Sherlock Holmes I assure you that they are worth reading again and again. I have a small baby and although he has kept me very busy I was able to relax when I sat down during his breif naps and read this book. I also read the book aloud to my husband ...             Robinson Crusoe (Tantor Unabridged Classics)1 review Daniel Defoe Tantor Media, 2008 Mixed Great reader, but it is not unabridged compared with my printed copy which goes well beyond his return to England. It is unabridged until that point and then it abridges an ending in the middle of the book.             The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath37 reviews Sylvia Plath Anchor, 2000 Not just for Plath aficianados, this is a must Having first read Plath a decade after her suicide, and in a period of my life in which I was very concerned about my own mother - a nurse, artist and writer who carried the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia - I scoured Plath's poems for clues as to what caused her to kill herself. Until this book, I had not read Plath since the 70s. I have since come to some of my own conclusions as to what ...             Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, Second Edition13 reviews Random House Random House Reference, 2002 As Unabridged Random House was not at all in my list in the past. I was a fan of Oxford for a long time. But when talking to a friend recently on different dictionaries, I came across this and he said I should take a look at it. I went to check the reviews in amazon and as the above reviews suggested it is way low in the rating. But I can not ignore my friend's request as he is very good in the art of this ...             The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Gift Set66 reviews J. R. R. Tolkien Recorded Books Unabridged, 2002 Outstanding reading of a great work I can only echo the strong praise given by other Amazon reviewers who give this audio book edition five stars and their highest accolades. Rob Inglis does an amazing job portraying all the characters in Tolkien's masterpiece. As others have written, he is not merely reading the book, he is acting out all the parts and bringing them all to life in a vivid and compelling manner. I have ...             A Christmas Carol (Unabridged Classics) Charles Dickens Sterling, 2009 Beloved in Christmases past, and sure to remain a favorite into Christmases of the future, Dickens? popular holiday tale is the perfect Christmas present.

My undergrad degree is in English, so I've used my share of dictionaries over the years. I can't imagine not having this great book nearby. I use it for everything, including the foreign language translation section, the maps, the crossword dictionary, etc. - it's chock full of useless but interesting informaiton. More ...             Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language9 reviews Thunder Bay Press (CA), 2001 This is the dictionary I reach for Imho the definitions contained within most accurately reflect the American dialect of English. Certain other dictionaries seem so far off base it isn't funny. An indispensable book. I wish there was a Windows version of *this* dictionary! Slang & jargon (historical & otherwise) are the main definitions I still need to occasionally lookup elsewhere.             Back When We Were Grownups1 review Anne Tyler Random House Audio, 2006 What Will Be Will Be....Lovely Audio Reading By Blair Brown This review refers to the Unabridged Audio Edition of "Back When We Were Grownups" by Anne Tyler...

Romero Queenship Publishing Company, 1999 Worth at least 15 Stars and worth its weight in gold! If you're a Catholic you MUST own this book and read it so that you can defend your faith. If you're a non-Catholic Christian, you must read it to learn about your heritage. When I was a protestant, I one day wondered, "Just what am I protesting against? Why should I assume that the Catholic Church is wrong without looking into the matter myself?" It's been my experience that most people don't ...             The Surgeon's Mate (Master/ Commander) [UNABRIDGED] (Aubrey-Maturin) Simon Vance (Narrator) Patrick O'Brian Blackstone Audiobooks, 2005 Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are ordered home by dispatch vessel to bring the news of their latest victory to the government.

Vesper Thomson West; Aspatore Books, 2008 I really wanted to like this book; at $100 I REALLY wanted to like this book. As a practicing attorney and columnist, I'm often in need of quotes about the law. However, this book falls short of the mark by 1) failing to provide comprehensive attribution of many of its quotations, and 2) lacking in variety and complexity of law-specific quotations. To begin, while this book is replete with wonderfully pithy quotes, very few of them are accompanied by comprehensive ...             The Art of War Unabridged Deluxe CD Audiobook: With Commentary, Explanations and Bonus the Sayings of ...7 reviews Sun Tzu, SunZi InfoFount, 2005 Great study aid A great study aid for martial artists, wargamers and military officers.
