| 291. A Pirate Looks at Fifty | |
|
by: Jimmy Buffett Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This was a typically unique Jimmy Buffett experience whereby he weaves his personal "songline" into an entertaining narrative to be enjoyed by Parrotheads, fishermen, "flying boat captains", and anybody with an adventurous spirit! I gave this 5 stars for the sheer entertainment value...it may not be a literary masterpiece, but it's a lot of fun! I especially enjoyed the vivid explanations of Caribbean history. As a high school social studies teacher, I think some of Jimmy's descriptions ... Read More  Read Reviews and Description

by: Michael Bamberger List Price: $23.00 Amazon.com's Price: $16.10 You Save: $6.90 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description No matter where you are from or what high school you went to, everyone can relate to this book. I very recently graduated from high school (class of '03, the same year as the kids in the book) and just happened upon this book at the airport. Before I even landed at my destination, I had finished it. The people in this story are the same characters at every high school. Every school has it's jocks and it's preps and it's preverbial screw-ups. Bambarger did an amazing job of capturing high school as it ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 293. The Soulforge (Dragonlance: The Raistlin Chronicles, Book 1) | |
|
by: Margaret Weis Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I've been in love with Raistlin ever since I read page 24 of Dragons of Autumn Twilight. I think a lot of us Dragonlance fans love the mysterious dark-souled man that Weis and Hickman created. It is in this book so many questions are aswered. This is the story about Raistlin's childhood, and the full version of his Test. This is probably one of the best Dragonlance books that has/will be written. The Soulforge brings light to the shadow that was cast over Raistlin's life. All devouted Raistlin fans MUST ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description In THE GOSPEL ACCORDING THE THE SIMPSONS, Mark Pinsky shows us that it's possible to find God in some of the most unexpected places. Originally, The Simpsons was largely eschewed by the evangelical Christian community, because of Bart's rebellious ways. But as the show grew older, and the focus turned more towards Homer, Pinsky shows that people of faith who weren't watching were missing out on some of the most "Christian" television around. Seriously. The Simpsons not only contains blatantly Christian ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

Customer Reviews and Description I had been on the waiting list for this new book for several months and finally it arrived today. The key here is that it is the "revised" edition of the one printed in 1994, with about half of the images and text coming from the original book (I have them here opened side-by-side for comparison). I was disappointed in how the publisher simply scanned the old pages of photos and reprinted them with much less quality than the original printing. So going through the book, though the pictures are quite professional and the models ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 300. ACBL Bridge Series: Bidding | |
|
by: Audrey Grant List Price: $14.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.47 You Save: $4.48 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This is a great book for when it was written -- you get started on how to play bridge, and also she teaches you some basic points on how to play a hand and how to defend a hand against a contract -- so you can actually sit down and play a game of bridge. The only problem with this book is that it is slightly outdated, and it would be nice if there was an updated bidding book for beginners, that actually taught the bidding system as it is today.
