1.		Jack Kerouac: Road Novels 1957-1960: On the Road / The Dharma Bums / The Subterraneans / Tristessa / Lonesome Traveler / Journal Selections (Library of America) from Library of America Price: $24.22 Customer Review: Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" was the inspiration for much of the early Beat movement and gained literary respectability for Beat literature. The other novels in this collection, all part of Kerouac's semi-autobiographical tales of wandering in search of self, are more than just good reads, but shed... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		Wheels for the World: Henry Ford, His Company, and a Century of Progress from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $12.24 Customer Review: Excellent corporate history of Ford Motor Company, and unavoidably, a biography of Henry Ford, who for the first 45 years of the company was Ford Motor Company. The chaotic early years of the automotive industry are captured in the two failed car companies Ford left behind, including the Henry... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		The Unfinished Presidency: Jimmy Carter's Journey Beyond the White House from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $16.20 Customer Review: I was reminded of Pete Seger's classic song while reading this book. Douglas Brinkley offers a fascinating examination into Jimmy Carter's post-presidential achievements, showing the many reasons why Carter should have long before been considered for a Nobel Peace Prize. The former president has... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Windblown World: The Journals of Jack Kerouac 1947-1954 from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $14.04 Customer Review: Wow this book is really incredible. It's like diving into the soul of Kerouac before he decided he didn't want to have commas or periods. Mind you I like DR SAX and DESOLATION ANGELS and his other crazily spontaneous novels that had dashes instead of periods, but I gotta say, I enjoy ON THE ROAD and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		American Heritage History of the United States from Viking Adult Customer Review: This is a book I purchased for cheap used but in killer shape off here. I orginally found it at the library and kept renewing it so finally just bought it. It it fairly comprehensive (American History is a HUGE topic, only can address so much in one book) and I just like the layout of the book, the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Voices of Valor: D-Day, June 6, 1944 from Bulfinch Customer Review: "Voices of Valor" is not only a very good account of the invasion of Normandy told by eye witnesses and participants, it is very useful as a reference to someone that might not be familiar with the importance of the event and how it was carried out. The pictures are, of course, a plus as well as the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
