1.The Epic of Gilgamesh (Penguin Classics)The Epic of Gilgamesh (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $8.80

Customer Review:
This is absolutely one of the best translations of Gilgamesh available. Andrew George gives us a taste of what the original versification was like. He also translates all the extant versions and fragments of versions of the epic, and this is important. Not only do the versions augment each other and... more info

Customer Review:
Gee, something is fishy here. Why is it that multiple books by this author are given IDENTICAL reviews by the same reviewers? How is it that they're all priced exactly the same and carry either 5-star or 1-star reviews?
These reviewers are apparently shills for the author. Don't fall for this... more info

from International Network Training Institute, Inc.
Price: $9.56

Customer Review:
I found this vacuous title to be little more than a prolonged paperback version of so many late night infomercials. The book is poorly written, badly organized and contains little learning opportunity for all but the most unsophisticated reader.
Ironically I consider both Jay VanAndel and... more info

8.Those Beautiful EyesThose Beautiful Eyes
from Writers Club Press
Price: $18.86

Customer Review:
This is a "vanity press" book. If a writer such as Mrs. Lutzky cannot (it would seem) find an agent and that agent find a publisher, it merely indicates how distressed the book business is these days. Fortunately, yes, there are still many good writers and many agents/publishers to work with them.... more info

I come from the land where these stories originated! but I have mixed feelings about the book. The illustrations are great! really took me back to the time when I wandered among old runes with ancient walls and drawings similar to these illustrations, though the coloring is different.
