Fontana Press
Patriots and Liberators
Simon Schama
Fontana Press, 1998
Incredible detail about a 30+ year period in Dutch history..
I have read most of Simon Schama's published works, and he is one of my favorite historians. His books range from the long to the short, from the survey text to the reseach tome. PATRIOTS AND LIBERATORS is a long research tome. The book contains 750 pages covering ...
The Politics of the Judiciary
J. A. G. Griffith
Fontana Press, 1997
The Juniper Bush
Audrey Howard
Fontana Press, 1988
Another super effort from Audrey Howard
Having read every one of Audrey Howard's book and enjoyed them all, I have to list this one as one of my favourites. The main characters, Alex and Christy, are so real and true to their times. The twisting plots, wonderful secondary characters all came to life under ...
Courtesans and Fishcakes
James Davidson
Fontana Press, 1998
A Stranger in the Mirror
Sidney Sheldon
Fontana Press, 1995
very satisfied
The book arrived shortly after I ordered it. For .01 and $3.99 shipping it was well worth it. I will order again from this seller. Thanks again!
Decision at Delphi
Helen MacInnes
Fontana Press, 1986
Decision at Delphi
Decision at Delphi was the first novel by Helen MacInnes that I had ever read. Having visited some of the places that the book mentions(It occurs primarily in Athens, Greece)made it even more realistic. It was a great novel of intrigue where I found myself rooting for ...
Ultimate Prizes
Susan Howatch
Fontana Press, 1990
Doctor Frigo
Eric Ambler
Fontana Press, 1989
The Intrigue of Power!
To read or not to read the great espionage novels of Eric Ambler? That is the question most people ignore because they are not familiar with Mr. Ambler and his particularly talent. Mr. Ambler has always had this problem. As Alfred Hitchcock noted in his introduction to ...
Face Value
Vera Cowie
Fontana Press, 1991
The New Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thought
Fontana Press, 2000
Very Valuable
I have many dictionaries on my shelves -- among them dictionaries of theology, philosophy, and sociology. I bought this dictionary at an airport, not really being sure how useful it would be. In fact it is a relatively new concept, having originated in the 1970s with ...
Image-Music-Text
Roland Barthes
Fontana Press, 1993
STRONGLY recommended for anyone with insomnia
Roland Barthes strikes me as an unreliable logician and a philosopher that one should be wary of. His premises are largely unsupported (or supported only weakly) and his statements often paradoxical or vastly generalized. His vocabulary is of such an unnecessarily ...
Fear Is the Key
Alistair MacLean
Fontana Press, 2004
Don't quit
When reading this book pay particular attention to the opening chapter. I don't think I did and when I finished I went back and reread that chapter, and the book was more meaningful. Sure, there is much improbable in the book, but I found when I finished the book it ...

F.M.L. Thompson
Fontana Press, 1988
Legion
William Peter Blatty
Fontana Press, 1984
