Doreen Rappaport

Hyperion Book CH, 2008

From the time he was a young boy roaming the forests of the unsettled Midwest, Abraham Lincoln knew in his heart that slavery was deeply wrong.

Love the O'Hurley's series!
Quick shipping and a great read. Make sure you get the other book to complete the series.

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans

Ann Coulter

Crown Forum, 2007

Go Ann Go!
Loved this book. Ann has the guts to be brutally honest about the democrats. She says the things that most people are thinking in their minds but cannot say for fear of retaliation. As a democrat, I see and hear the hypocrisy from them every day. They will lie, cheat ...

Be Honest and Tell the Truth (Learning to Get Along)

Cheri J. Meiners

Free Spirit Publishing, 2007

Review of Children's Books
The products arrived in a timely manner and they were exactly what I wanted. In fact, some other people liked them so much that they wanted to order this series of books. (They were Christmas presents.)

Honest Pretzels: And 64 Other Amazing Recipes for Cooks Ages 8 & Up

Mollie Katzen

Tricycle Press, 1999

Fabulous way to introduce a child to the kitchen
I've long been a fan of Mollie Katzen's cookbooks: she is so very user-friendly and clear in her writing. My most battered (so to speak) cookbook is Still Life with Menu. So Rowan (my ex's little boy, who is my "best friend," as he tells people) turned eight last week ...

A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship

Ron Paul

Foundation for Rational Economics and Educati, 2007

Very fast delivery
I received this book extremely quickly from when I ordered it. It arrived in overall great shape. The front cover was a little bent over and I believe it was due to the loosely packed box it arrived in.

Preparing Your Son for Every Man's Battle: Honest Conversations About Sexual Integrity (The Every Man Series)

Stephen Arterburn, Fred Stoeker, ...

WaterBrook Press, 2003

Help your son stay pure
This is a great book for many reasons. First off, it makes the point very clearly that a father's relationship with his sons is vitally important during the "second half of the game," the years starting with pre-adolescence. Not only are too many of us are caught up in ...

Honest Signals: How They Shape Our World (Bradford Books)

Alex (Sandy) Pentland

The MIT Press, 2008

Beyond "Pop Science"
This book goes through the most recent (about last 5 years) research of Prof. Pentland's group in the MIT Media Lab. It's a quick but extremely engaging read, and in contrast to other pop science books like Freakanomics and Predictably Irrational (both of which are ...

One Man's Life: A Journey Out; A Journey Back
Henry Lightcap migrates westward on the cusp of maturity but heads back east near the end of his life. This novel describes both journeys at once in a series of interleaved chapters. Each journey has its own logic, but we don't fully understand Lightcap or the ...

From the Hips: A Comprehensive, Open-Minded, Uncensored, Totally Honest Guide to Pregnancy, Birth, and ...

Rebecca Odes, Ceridwen Morris

Three Rivers Press, 2007

The ultimate "get real" guide!
I have no shortage of pregnancy books (my husband started my library by ordering the Mayo Clinic guide), but this is the only one that was compelling enough to read cover to cover! What I like most about it is the non-judgmental, thoroughly researched, yet chatty and ...

Be Honest--You're Not That Into Him Either: Raise Your Standards and Reach for the Love You Deserve

Ian Kerner

Collins Living, 2006

Changed my whole perspective
I'm a 40 year old woman who's had 3 long term relationships over the past 14 years - all with guys who had some great characteristics, so I just figured I'd learn to accept their short comings, though they were significant (i.e., lack of education, argumentative, and ...

The Honest Courtesan: Veronica Franco, Citizen and Writer in Sixteenth-Century Venice (Women in Culture and ...

Margaret F. Rosenthal

University Of Chicago Press, 1993

Excellent, but a little slow
I greatly enjoyed this book, but I found that wading through 16th century Venetian dialect was difficult. If you are looking for an entertaining story biography, look elsewhere, but if you want a dissertation-style biography, you will enjoy this, as I did.
