Dictionary of Word Origins: A History of the Words, Expressions and Cliches We Use

Jordon Almond

Citadel Pr, 2000

Intriguing, Instructional, Curious
Jordan Almond's "Dictionary of Word Origins" is an intriguing look at phrases and words we all toss about apart from their original meaning. This book is about those original meanings of cliches. This is different than most 'unusual word' dictionaries. Usually, you'll ...

The Dysfunctional President: Inside the Mind of Bill Clinton

Paul M., Phd Fick

Citadel Pr, 1996

Now it all makes sense
This book, or better yet, the revised version, is a must read for every American. Get a look inside the man we elected twice. Dr. Fick's analysis of Clinton as the "Adult Child of an Alcoholic" sheds light on the apparently erractic behavior of our president. The ...

The Official Andy Griffith Show Scrapbook

Lee Pfeiffer

Citadel Pr, 1993

A+ for effort, but Aunt Bee insists on apple pie order
It's impossible not to admire the tremendous effort that went into collecting the mementoes for this book, but someone obviously took the term "scrapbook" too literally. The layout is surprisingly amateurish, with far too many blurry or grainy photos occupying two-page ...

The Seinfeld Aptitude Test: Hundreds of Spectacular Questions on Minute Details from Tv's Greatest Show About ...

Beth B. Golub

Citadel Pr, 1994

Great trivia book to have at your parties.
This book has great trivia for your party games. I have used it at home and at work. I only wish there was an updated version with trivia past the 1994 episodes. For example, one of the questions asks "what is Kramer's first name"? The book's answer is "unknown", but ...

Conversations With Joan Crawford

Roy Newquist

Citadel Pr, 1980

Outstanding insight
In spite of not being much of a fan of Joan Crawford, especially in her uptight Warner's years, this book is a fascinating insight into her persona, possibly the best available. The book is a compendium of interviews with Crawford over a 15 year period, all carefully ...

Northern Exposure: The Official Publication of the Television Series

Louis Chunovic

Citadel Pr, 1993

Incomplete But Fun
If you are a "Northern Exposure" fan there is lots here for you -- interviews with each cast member, behind the scenes photos, episode synopsis, song listings for episodes etc. The book only covers the first few seasons making it incomplete, but what is here is lots ...

How To Create A New Identity

Sheldon Charrett

Citadel Pr, 2006

Dated
This book was very helpful in tracing to people who skipped town owing me money. When I started landlording I thought the courts collected money from deadbeats I had to evict. After several rather eye opening experiences I have become better at screening tenants. If ...

The Starfleet Academy Entrance Exam: Tantalizing Trivia from Classic Star Trek to Star Trek: Voyager

Peggy Robin

Citadel Pr, 1995

GREAT!!!
Even though I've only been watching Star Trek for about three years, (considering I'm only twelve) I did well on most of the questions. I thought the book was very entertaining, a must-have for any Star Trek fan!!!!

The Kennedy Wit/the Humor and Wisdom of John F. Kennedy

Citadel Pr, 1991

Wit of Yesteryear
"The Kennedy Wit" is an entertaining collection of witty statements by JFK. Organized into four sections: The 1960 Campaign; The Presidency; The Family; and Press Conferences, all interspersed with dozens of pictures, its jokes and zingers still work. It is short and ...

Flying Saucers--Serious Business

Frank Edwards

Citadel Pr, 1987

Real!
Flying Saucers - Serious Business is a fun and entertaining read, complete with pictures. Clear, concise reading that tackles specific incidents in history, such as the Brazil 1954 incident, power blackouts in the Southwest in 1965, etc. Interesting read!

Leg Art: Celebrating a Century of Love and Devotion to the Photogenic Wonders of the Prettiest Girls With the ...

Madison S. Lacy

Citadel Pr, 1981

Wonderful compilation of classic Hollywood "cheesecake"
This has been one of my favorite classic-Hollywood photography books for nearly three decades - so much so, indeed, that when my original copy got worn out, I went out and bought another one (and I don't do that that often!) The late Madison Lacy was a well-known ...

Behind the Palace Walls: The Rise and Fall of Britain's Royal Family

Peter Fearon

Citadel Pr, 1996

A fascinating, tightly-written study
For some American readers like me, the tragedy of Princess Diana's death may have pointed up how little we know about the British royal family and sent us looking for sources. After starting and discarding several tendentious "histories" of the House of Windsor, I ...

The Three Stooges Book of Scripts

Joan Howard Maurer

Citadel Pr, 1987

A unique book
The title of this book is kind of misleading, since there are only 5 scripts dealt with in this book--those for 'Men in Black,' 'Punch Drunks,' 'You Nazty Spy!,' 'Gents Without Cents,' and 'Three Little Pigskins.' Originally Mrs. Maurer (Moe's daughter) wanted to do a ...

How to Talk to Anybody About Anything: Breaking the Ice With Everyone from Accountants to Zen Buddhists

Leil Lowndes

Citadel Pr, 1996

Fantastic
The other people who wrote scathing reviews of this book are buffoons. This is a very helpful book and here's why: No, it doesn't tell you "how to communicate." Get Dale Carnegie for that. What it does do is list "key words," general explanations and various other ...

Those Glorious Glamour Years: Classic Hollywood Costume Design of the 1930's

Margaret J. Bailey

Citadel Pr, 1988

Edward Santizo (edcyborg@aol.com), Los Angeles, CA
This is a good book for people that are aspiring to be fashion designers, photographers, actors, or anyone who admires and appreciate the women of the silver screen, for example , Greta Garbo, Vivien Leigh, Ginger Rogers, Hedy Lamarr, Rita Hayworth, and many more.
