L. G Nicholas, Kerry Ogame

Quick American Archives, 2006

Mushrooms?! What Mushrooms?!
I will have to admit, prior to this piece of literature I was completely ignorant of ANYTHING and ALL THINGS mushroom. For me to make any inclination towards whether the scientific lingo, or the description of the biology of a mushroom, is correct or incorrect would ...

The School Library Media Manager Third Edition (Library and Information Science Text Series)

Blanche Woolls

Libraries Unlimited, 2004

Could Use Some Editing.
I had to purchase this book for a class I am taking this semester. The language is very dry, although the text is large enough so that the speed of reading through a page counteracts the fact that the text is rather lifeless. There are many sentences that I have to ...

Creepy Archives (Archive Editions (Graphic Novels))

Various

Dark Horse, 2008

At last.
At last. A cultural touchstone for thousands of young kids from the 60's and 70's has made its' way to the archive bookshelf, and that "touchstone" is Creepy Magazine. Being, purportedly, a "grown-up" now, I realize that the Warren magazines like Creepy and Eerie ...

Herbie Archives Volume 1 (Archive Editions (Graphic Novels))
Shane O'Shea (Richard Hughes)

Dark Horse, 2008

Make way for the Fat Fury! The unlikeliest superhero of all time makes his mark in this new Dark Horse archival series. Coming from the strange, wry imaginations of classic comics scribe Richard Hughes and artist Ogden Whitney, Herbie Popnecker looks like a plump lump, but with his collection of supernatural lollipops, there is pretty much nothing ...

Want Your WOW Kid to Read? Grab this!
My son is a WOW-head and plays the game all the time. Being a parent who wishes he spent more time reading, I found these books to be a great way to extend his interest in WOW, and have him read as well. They aren't 'game guides' but actual stories set in the World of ...

Plant Pathology, Fifth Edition

George N. Agrios

Academic Press, 2004

an excellent text
This is an excellent introduction to plant pathology and the kind of book one tends to hold onto to use as a reference after finishing their coursework. I have known plenty of graduate students who've held onto their copies, and I've really never heard any serious ...

At long last, the go-to guide for medical writers and editors is revised
At long last, the 10th Edition of the AMA Manual of Style is finally available, and I am happy to say it was worth the wait. As an editor who has worked in medical journals, scientific Web sites, and an agency specializing in pharmaceutical advertising, I found the 9th ...

Scanning Negatives and Slides: Digitizing Your Photographic Archives

Sascha Steinhoff

Rocky Nook, 2007

Excellent Book!
I read this book cover to cover. As someone who has been using scanners since the 80286 days with a hand scanner, I liked to think I knew a thing or two about scanning and imaging editing. After I began to read this book, I quickly realized, I knew little about the ...

Trifecta
For those of us who can understand the depth and layers of writing here, it doesn't get much better than this. One need only be steeped in Lovecraft, Howard, Mythos Lore, Newton's Telecom Dictionary, video gaming, techno gadgets and James Bond to begin to scratch the ...

good book. read it after i read gilbert sorrentino's piece on it from "Something Said".

The Third Policeman

Flann O'Brien

Dalkey Archive Pr, 2002

An Astounding Pancake
It is unfortunate that Flann O'Brien isn't assigned reading, and that one is generally forced to discover him for oneself. The Third Policeman is one of the funniest books I've read. Unlike "At Swim-Two-Birds," O'Brien's other classic, it's plotted more or less ...
