| | 5. |  | The SLAVE TRADE
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $5.99
Customer Review:
The only other work I have read by author Thomas was "The Spanish Civil War", a work of a mere 620 pages when compared with this tome of nearly 900. But in both cases Thomas has written the definitive work on his subject against which all other books should be measured. Thomas writes a scholarly... more info

| | 6. |  | The Spanish Civil War
from Penguin Books Ltd
Customer Review:
This book also details the most history on the topic, concentrated in one place. Although sometimes billed as a "heroic" tale of many various people rising to their occasions, a better description might be a very long TV drama about what the many important personages said to each other, how they... more info

| | 8. |  | Edward VII: The Last Victorian King
from Palgrave Macmillan
Price: $11.72
Customer Review:
Finding good biographies of British royals that are an easy read is always difficult. This is a wonderfully complete study of Edward VII, but it is very academic and a difficult read. The title is misleading. He wasn't the last Victorian king. His mother was dead. He was the first 20th Century king.... more info

| | 9. |  | The Monk (Modern Library Classics)
from Modern Library
Price: $3.00
Customer Review:
The introduction written by Emma McEvoy observes with a clinical eye the failures and triumphs of The Monk within the Gothic genre. Many spoilers are revealed, but her analysis is so concrete that it lacks the shock usually accompanied by most spoilers. Instead you are told about the strengths of... more info
