2.The Man Who Made Vermeers: Unvarnishing the Legend of Master Forger Han van MeegerenThe Man Who Made Vermeers: Unvarnishing the Legend of Master Forger Han van Meegeren
from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Price: $8.78

Customer Review:
I thought this book would tell the story of an amiable rogue who fooled the art establishment and even top Nazi Hermann Goering by faking Vermeers. It turned out to be much more than that. It's the tale of a creepy fascist with a specific political agenda who used his fakes to advance a form of art... more info

3.[no image]Anne Frank Lb
from Doubleday Books for Young Readers

Customer Review:
I was shocked at how insightful this young girl was in her entries. I tended to forget that Anne was a girl who was only 13-15 years old. The way she discussed such issues as love, religion, politics, a life of anonymity, her relationship with her parents, the war, etc. were a joy to read.

4.The Island at the Center of the World: The Epic Story of Dutch Manhattan and the Forgotten Colony That Shaped AmericaThe Island at the Center of the World: The Epic Story of Dutch Manhattan and the Forgotten Colony That Shaped America
from Vintage
Price: $8.53

Customer Review:
This is a lot of fun to read. I bought the audio book as well and could not stop listening to this. I am Dutch and was unaware of the details and history. I was able to link so many of the stories to things I had learned as a child and through my parents. Definitely worth the while.

5.Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The AfterlifeAnne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife
from Harper
Price: $12.29

Customer Review:
Francine Prose makes you realize that the diary is not just a teaching tool but a major literary masterpiece. The diary, which Prose includes in her course at Bard, should be wider taught in colleges, as well as high schools, rather than just middle schools.

Disturbing look at a bunch of disturbed "base politicians".

from Harper Perennial
Price: $9.15

Customer Review:
I found this book most interesting. I am an art lover, but certainly no expert. I just know what I like and I enjoy reading about the art world.
What I found fascinating about this book was not just the story of the forger van Meegeren or even how Goering was duped, but how supposed experts... more info

from Avalon Travel Publishing
Price: $1.04

Customer Review:
We carried the Frommers and the Rick Steves, but found the Rick Steves to contain more detailed, personal knowledge, was easy to follow, and his maps were clear and useful. It felt like he was standing beside us, anticipating our questions and concerns, giving us tips, etc. We have always used... more info
