Whitman Pub Llc, 2006

Perfect way to display your State Quarter collection
I bought two of these maps for my 9 & 8 yr. old sons who just recently started collecting the state quarters. This map is a perfect way of displaying the quarters and it looks great. There is a slot in each state for its quarter (or next to it for the smaller NE ...

The Collectors

David Baldacci

Grand Central Publishing, 2007

Excellent read - couldn't put it down!
I bought this book for my husband many months ago, and just picked it up from his shelf to look at as a summer read. After two chapters, I couldn't put it down! Very well written, interesting, entertaining, and I love the cliff-hanger end. My next read will be The ...

Cross (Alex Cross)

James Patterson

Grand Central Publishing, 2007

The Best Cross Ever!

Complete Vampire Chronicles (Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The ...

Anne Rice

Ballantine Books, 1993

Good prices on a good set
Overall you can see and judge for yourself which of the stories work and which don't. In Queen of the Damned (which was a so-so movie by the way), the author moved away from the first person point-of-view (POV) which added a richness to the story to the omniscient ...

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes (Calvin & Hobbes)

Bill Watterson

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2005

Treat yourself!
Treat yourself, as I did, to this 21 pound! complete Calvin and Hobbes collection. You, as I did, have probably put off purchasing this item time and time again. Well, I say that it is well worth the expense. This collection is for a lifetime of reading, as you follow ...

Possession: A Romance

A.S. Byatt

Random House, 1991

A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma
POSSESSION: A ROMANCE has been on my shelf since 1991. I read it because it won the 1990 Booker Prize, and once under its spell, I've never wanted to let it go. A.S. Byatt -- sister of award winning novelist Margaret Drabble -- tells a complex story within a story, ...

Max's Words

Kate Banks

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 2006

Max's Words
I bought this book because I thought it was cute (the cover intrigued me). I took it to my classroom to share with my lst grade students. They got so excited about it that they thought our class should start a word collection. So I drug out old magazines & ...

Martha Stewart's Cookies: The Very Best Treats to Bake and to Share (Martha Stewart Living Magazine)

Martha Stewart Living Magazine

Clarkson Potter, 2008

Best Cookie Cookbook and I'm not a Martha fan!
Okay, let me start by saying that I am far from being a Martha Stewart fan. I try to avoid anything associated with her. That being said, I fell in love with this cookbook the minute I picked it up. My Mom happens to like Martha and had the cookbook sitting out. ...

Complete Stories and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe

Doubleday, 1966

The Enduring Master of the Macabre
Edgar Allan Poe, born in Boston, Massachusetts on January 19, 1809, died October 7, 1849. What is it that makes an author famous? I don't mean famous in the sense a news article reports that "Jack Greylea's novels sold 15 million copies last year," but in the sense ...

The Bone Collector (A Lincoln Rhyme Novel)

Jeffery Deaver

Signet, 1998

The One That Started It All
Warning: Once you read this novel, you will be hooked. I devoured every other Lincoln Rhyme novel after reading the Bone Collector. The only problem I have discovered is that Mr. Deaver cannot write fast enough. To anyone who enjoys a deliciously complicated ...

The Hunter's Blades Trilogy Collector's Edition (Forgotten Realms)

R. A. Salvatore

Wizards of the Coast, 2007

Great Read
One of the best series I have read in a long time. Some people have said that this band of characters is getting old, but I beg to differ. I have already read the "Ork King", which is the first book in the next series. I still think this series is great. Well worth ...

The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #38 (Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide)

Robert M Overstreet

House of Collectibles, 2008

Indispensible
And I rarely even look at the prices. This is THE reference book for what was published, when, the actual title, which issues feature notable artists, guest appearances, first appearances, origins, major events like weddings and deaths, etc. If you collect comics ...
