1.		Dream Garages from Motorbooks Price: $23.07 Customer Review: My husband is building a detached shop, so I got him this book for Christmas. He absolutely loved it. The cars in the book are as great as the garages. I hope I didn't give him too many ideas for his own shop!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

2.		The Rediscovery of Man: The Complete Short Science Fiction of Cordwainer Smith from Nesfa Press Price: $25.00 Customer Review: Didn't care for it. The writing just didn't draw me in. The story ideas were sorta good but the authors corny / dumb down naming of objects and peoples cheapens and dates it badly (1955-66). Examples: Fighting Trees (trees used to absorb and neutralize radioactive contamination from past wars), True... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		Rise of the Vulcans: The History of Bush's War Cabinet from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.88 Customer Review: James Mann's "Rise of the Vulcans" goes beyond a mere mini-political biography of Bush's war cabinet. My take on this book is that there was a dual purpose in Mann's intent on writing this book. Yes, he gives a history, and a very good one, for each of the war cabinet members. But more importantly,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		How to Photograph Cars from Motorbooks Price: $14.93 Customer Review: I was back forth on this book as I read the first chapters. I then realized I was looking for some grand revelation. I started over and found that there was a lot of cleaver and less obvious information. What I found of most value was advise on composition, "cars look lousy on grass, so aviod it",... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

5.		The China Fantasy: How Our Leaders Explain Away Chinese Repression from Viking Adult Price: $13.57 Customer Review: I'll keep this short and sweet: Mann offers a lot of sobering thoughts, and his narrative is very straight-shooting. He calls things as he sees them, given his experience and qualifications, he's worth listening to. Any China expert should read this book, but then again, any China expert... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		A New Dawn: The Complete Don A. Stuart Stories (Nesfa's Choice Series, Volume 22) from Nesfa Press Price: $20.80 Customer Review: This volume contains the story which is probably the most frightening is all of science fiction or fantasy - "Who Goes There". It has been made into a movie twice - titled "The Thing". None of them send the chills up and down your spine like John Campbell's writing style does. He has a skill in... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.		The China Fantasy: Why Capitalism Will Not Bring Democracy to China from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $11.05 Customer Review: Mann's analysis gives insight into China's political and economic relations with the US since the Nixon administration. Although the rhetoric of the White House has changed over the years, the policy towards China has stayed more or less the same - first driven by Cold War need for ally, later... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

About Face: A History of America's Curious Relationship with China, from Nixon to Clinton from Vintage Price: $11.53 Customer Review: This is highly detailed and well written book covering the intricacy of U.S. policy towards China.

9.		Norstrilia from Nesfa Press Price: $17.60 Customer Review: Like just about all of his other work, this, Smith's only sf novel, is both unique and highly lyrical. Set within his universe of the Instrumentality of Mankind, it's the story of Rod McBan, 16 year-old heir to his family fortune, which is based on the stroon (a drug that provides near-immortality)... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.	[no image]	The Cocktail Waitress: Woman's Work in a Mans World from Alfred A. Knopf Customer Review: If you have ever patronized a bar or been a bartender or waitress, you will connect with The Cocktail Waitress. In spite of this book's being the result of scholarly research, it is as readable as a novel. Spradley and his associates observe what occurs in a bar near a college, describing the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
