Waterfront Homes: 189 Home Plans for River, Lake or Sea
Hanley Wood Home Planners

Home Planners, 2004

Disappointed
I was looking for house plans that had the major rooms on the front of the house overlooking a view. The title led me to believe I would find that type of home in this book. I did not. Also, most of the plans were very complicated with multiple roof angles and ...

Lakeside Living: Waterfront Houses, Cottages, and Cabins of the Great Lakes
Linda Leigh Paul

Universe, 2007

Great Pictures
This book features many great pictures of homes on or near the Great Lakes. It covers several types of building styles and architectures. Every home looks like a sublime dream. One critique though is that most of the homes are of the spare-no-expense ultra wealthy ...

The Strange Case of Dr. H.H. Holmes

Waterfront Productions, 2008

An Excellent Companion Piece to the DVD
Reviewed by Katherine Ramsland, Ph.D., author of "The Human Predator". "In addition to making the first DVD about H. H. Holmes available to viewers, John Borowski has done a great service by also publishing the four principle works by and about Holmes during the ...
  
  











  



  
Waterfront: A Walk Around Manhattan
Phillip Lopate

Anchor, 2005

Great book!!!
I love this book. Everyone who lives in, works in, or even visits Manhattan should read this book and take a walk to the waterfront. Incredibly well written and researched. My favorite NY book since E.B. White's Here is New York.
  
  











  



  
Walking San Francisco: 30 Savvy Tours Exploring Steep Streets, Grand Hotels, Dive Bars, and Waterfront Parks
Tom Downs

Wilderness Press, 2007

Start Walkin SF
I live in the Bay Area and normally wouldn't buy a book like this, but with guests coming from out of town I gave it a shot. I started reading it and was pleasantly surprised. Well-written and entertaining beyond what I'd expect from a travel guide. Once I started ...

On the Waterfront (BFI Film Classics)
Leo Braudy

British Film Institute, 2005

"I could have been a contender, I could have been somebody." So speaks the haunted former boxer Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) to his brother Charley (Rod Steiger) in a scene from On the Waterfront (Elia Kazan, 1954) that is one of the most famous in all cinema. Set among unionised New York longshoremen, Kazan's film (from a screenplay by Budd ...
  
  











  



  
Changing Families: A Guide for Kids and Grown-Ups
David Fassler, Michele Lash, ...

Waterfront Books, 1988

Great book for all -- explains and allows self-expression!
This is a great "interactive" book. One that can help adults and kids talk about the pains of parents dating and getting married and having two families, what it all means - and what it does not mean. My 8 y.o. step son (whose parents seperated when he was one) has ...
  
  











  



  
On the Waterfront: The Final Shooting Script
Budd Schulberg

Samuel French Trade, 1988

Reading the script let's the reader be a contender.
Of course, I saw the movie first; in fact, before VCR's and DVD's, we showed the 16 Mil. film to our regular English classes as a reward, usually at the end of the year. One year,however, I had a particularly unmotivated special ed. English class. I remembered the ...
  
  











  



  
The Bottom of the Harbor
Joseph Mitchell

Pantheon, 2008

Exquisite portraits wonderfully written
There are so many good things I could say about The Bottom of the Harbor. Mitchell's writing style is clean easy to read without lacking in depth and texture. The stories themselves are fascinating and off beat. But the best part of the book are the characters ...

Sam Spiegel: The Incredible Life and Times of Hollywood's Most Iconoclastic Producer, the Miracle Worker Who ...
Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni

Simon & Schuster, 2003

French journalist?
Astonishing mistake in the Editorial Review above. That Natasha Fraser could be called a "French journalist" boggles the mind, since her father was the British M.P. Hugh Fraser, her mother is Lady Antonia Fraser (herself daughter of the Earl and Countess of Longford), ...
