Poor Richard's Almanack (1733)
from Applewood Books
Price: $3.95

Customer Review:

What can you say about this book.........other than it's a collection of timeless sayings and thoughts from the mind of one of America's original great thinkers. This should be required reading (in all formats)for high school students if for no other reason than to have them explore humor without... more info

1000 Pin-Up Girls (25th Anniversary Special Edtn)
from Taschen
Price: $10.19

Customer Review:

This book originally was planned for 1956 but somehow the gallies [no pun?] wound up buried beneath Ed Norton's collection of books on Astrology. I guess he became friendly with the original publisher who had an office near his worksite on Madison Avenue.
Just a little fantasy...on a fanatsy.... more info

Halloween Merrymaking: An Illustrated Celebration Of Fun, Food, And Frolics From Halloweens Past
from Pelican Publishing Company
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:

We Americans tend to be somewhat near-sighted in our view of Halloween in thinking that our celebration of the day is relatively a modern fascination. And, in truth, Halloween has boomed in the past twenty years to become second only to Christmas in decorating and celebrating the season. As Diane C.... more info

Backroads of New England: Your Guide To New England's Most Scenic Backroad Adventures (Pictorial Discovery Guide)
from Voyageur Press
Price: $14.93

Customer Review:

This was obviously a carefully researched, well-written book, with great photos. But I was disappointed that there was so little focus on maps. Rather than showing a detailed maps of a recommended route, the author chose to write a verbal description of a recommended route. That's sufficient if you... more info

It's a Wonderful Christmas: The Best of the Holidays 1940-1965
from Harry N. Abrams
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

I bought this book for my mom (81 years old), and it brought back amazing memories for her from her teenage years through the first 20 years of her marriage. The package of ornaments shown on page 11 is the identical one my parents had bought (which we still have - most of them, anyway!). She (and... more info

The Urban Treasure Hunter: A Practical Handbook for Beginners
from Square One Publishers
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:

I was hoping for a little more technical stuff with this book. It talks
about old buildings, privies, new construction sites, and etc. to look for
things. I wanted techniques in the handling of the detector. Not so much as
where to go. To me, it's a book about common sense.... more info

1897 Sears, Roebuck Catalogue
from Chelsea House Publications
Price: $20.40

Customer Review:

The Sears and Roebuck catalog has been a huge help in writing my historical romance set in the 1890s. There are saddles, surreys, and patent medicines. This visual aid has made it so much easier for me to give an accurate depiction of the times.

Petretti's Coca-Cola Collectibles Price Guide: The Encyclopedia of Coca-Cola Collectibles (Petretti's Coca-Cola Collectibles Price Guide)
from Krause Publications
Price: $31.49

Customer Review:

I like the fact that the book shows so many color pictures. That is great! Unfortunately, as, with many of these types of books, it doesn't list many of the collectible coca cola items. The book could also be organised better. There are several different places to find clocks for example. If you go... more info

Customer Review:

I bought this book at the same time as Timeless Halloween Collectibles. They're definitely companions.
This book is larger. The colors are less vivid than "Timeless" but there are so many more of them. I couldn't be more delighted with the volume and the clarity of the images.
I like the... more info
