by: Betty MacDonald List Price: $13.00 Amazon.com's Price: $10.40 You Save: $2.60 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I have loved Betty MacDonald since I was digging for her out-of-prints in old bookstores. Her writing style is easy to read, conversational - and her humor is fantastic. It's hard to believe her books were written 60 or so years ago - they are fresh and funny and familiar. She is not afraid to laugh at herself, and be very irreverent (politically incorrect, these days) about people and places in her life. She also gives a descriptive picture of the Pacific Northwest during her era, post-war, internment ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

| 1052. Final Reckoning: The Fate of Bester (Babylon 5) | |
|
by: J. Gregory Keyes Amazon.com's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description In the first two books of the Psi-Corps trilogy, we received background information on the Psi-Corps and Bester in the time preceding the Babylon 5 TV Series. At the conclusion of the Babylon 5 series, there were several questions about Talia, Lyta, and the forthcoming telepath war. Rather than give us the details of the telepath war or Lyta's role or what actually happened to Talia, the book begins after what would have been the conclusion of Crusade if that series had had its full run. It tells ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 1053. Pretty Good Jokes (Prairie Home Companion) | |
|
by: Garrison Keillor, Paula Poundstone List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $17.46 You Save: $7.49 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description These jokes are hilarious and will keep you rolling for the length of the 2 CDs - and you *will* want to listen to them over and over again. You'll feel compelled to share the jokes with friends and co-workers - but you'll request they hear them from the source - as your joke-telling skills just won't match those of the master joke-tellers. Nevermind the NPR Public Laughter Tapes - they are OK, but for real laughs, get the Pretty Good Jokes. You won't be disappointed! Read Reviews and Description

| 1058. No Lifeguard: The Accidental Life of the World's First Supermodel | |
|
by: Janice Dickinson Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description "No Lifeguard on Duty" seems to be aiming pretty low, but it hits even lower. Janice Dickinson tries to create a can't-put-it-down tale of drugs, sex, and model madness, but can't manage to elevate it high enough to make it a guilty pleasure. In the end, her don't-blame-me attitude and complaints make it a rather dull read. Janice escaped from a pill-popping mother and sexually abusive father and a childhood teeming over with misery. Her way? Becoming a model. Though thought unsuitable for modelling, because she was dark ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Ivan Moscovich, Tim Robinson Amazon.com's Price: $29.95 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description As I dipped into this book I became more and more annoyed. It has many, many mistakes, of all kinds, in it. Even in presenting well-known puzzles the author manages to make serious errors. Here are a few of the mistakes that I noticed: (Puzzle 307) Morley's theorem is (to quote the late H.S.M. Coxeter) "one on the most surprising theorems in elementary geometry", but Moscovich manages to get the diagram wrong! The triangle which he picks out does not even look equilateral! (Puzzle 772) For the well-known puzzle of ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Basil Nestor List Price: $16.99 Amazon.com's Price: $11.89 You Save: $5.10 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I went through about 20 books at the mega book store and found this one. Although there are many different games, I wanted the fundamentals on SLOTS, VIDEO POKER, and CRAPS. This book examines far more games than what I wanted. The writing is easy to read, interesting, and helpful. My wife and I have visited casinos a few times. We went to Biloxi, MS last week to see The Eagles in concert (fabulous!) and went to some of the casinos. I got this book before going. My wife is really only interested in slots. The ...
