| | 2. |  | The Gardener's Year
from Continuum
Price: $14.93
Customer Review:
I bought this book for a friend, as a gift upon her achieving Master Gardener certification. I expected something a bit different, a bit more practical, perhaps, but after leafing through the pages, I read the entire book before I gave it to her. Written by the man known to most of us as a European... more info

| | 3. |  | War with the Newts (European Classics)
from Northwestern University Press
Price: $17.21
Customer Review:
Of all the science-fiction books I read in my teenage years, this is the one that stimulated my mind the most, and the one I've re-read most often. It's the story of a discovery of another intelligent species, not in space but on an island lost in the Pacific. The new species are man-sized newts,... more info

| | 4. |  | Capek: Four Plays
from A&C Black
Price: $16.16
Customer Review:
Be prepared to enter another world. The Capek's (for many of the plays are actually written by Karel and his brother - and expressionist artist - Joseph) speak to us today loud and clear from a realm linked to ours but slightly askew. Their perceptions are insightful and their vision resonates... more info

| | 6. |  | The Absolute at Large
from Macmillan and co., limited
Customer Review:

As a novel it violates... more info

from LeClue
Price: $0.99
Customer Review:
This book changed the way mankind looked at his world... it brought the concept of "robots", as well as the word itself, into the world's consciousness, and subtly influenced the future path of technological thought as no other book has ever done, and all in a very understated and beautifully... more info

| | 9. |  | Tales from Two Pockets
from Catbird Press
Price: $11.96
Customer Review:
Poe, Doyle, Christie -- none of their stories is better than "The Stolen Cactus," "The Crime at the Post Office," or "Footprints." This collection of crime stories had all the twists and clever resolutions I could ask for. Unexpectedly, it also has quite a few insights into human nature and coping... more info
