The America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book
Boston Common Press, 2008

Well, I'm proof that you CAN teach an old dog new ...

The Lord of the Rings (50th Anniversary Edition)
J.R.R. Tolkien
Houghton Mifflin, 2004
Very nice edition to have
This review is only about the `50th anniversary edition' and not about the master work of J.R.R.Tolkien.
I don't see any issues with the quality of the book. Like few other reviewers mentioned, the folded map is glued together and you need to take little care while ...

The Irregulars: Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime Washington
Jennet Conant
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Fun History/Biography
I don't know if this was intended as serious scholarship, but it is a fun look at a a well known historical era from a novel view point. It reminds me a bit of "Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead", with Dahl and Ian Fleming as the side characters in a famous drama, ...

Fantastic book and an excellent paperback edition...
This is not a literary review, this is about the edition/printing only.
This is a great paperback. I bought it because it was economical, but ended up enjoying it because it is of exceptional quality. This is NOT a mass-market, stiff as a board, tiny font, ...

Y: The Last Man, Volume 5: Ring of Truth
Brian K. Vaughan
Vertigo, 2005
best in the series
This is the best book in the series. I really started to like Yorick in this book. And the story begins moving forward after being drifting in the Midwest for a long time. It is well worth the read if you get the opportunity.
