(01/18/12) in collaboration with strand bookstore, a new york legend in the literary world, we commissioned short stories from seven female writers. we asked each author to incorporate the phrase, "she is quick and curious and playful and strong" at some point in their story. the end result is a charming collection we're excited to share. artfully designed in a limited-edition set, it's a lovely gift to give (or to get).See less

(01/01/11) Too much to write all in one review without it being a novel. Each book showed up individually wrapped and packed very well in the box. They have an amazing feel to each of them and when you read them you just feel the stories even more because of the quality of the books. The leather does vary based upon each book but these will easily become an heirloom in our family. The set is an amazing value...See less

(10/23/10) I am a teenager who is highly interested in the medical field and had to have this book. Not only is the information valuable, but the edition is beautiful. The content is thought-provoking and goes beyond any biology course. And though the language is challenging, the diagrams aid in understanding a great deal, for, as long as one owns a dictionary, reading the book is manageable. I recommend this...See less

(10/23/10) Horror terrifies me so I was very squemish about purchasing works by the "Master of Horror." I purchased this book for three reasons: it contains my favorite poem, a friend of mine got me interested, and the cover beckoned to me. I am very pleased with my purchase. I have read all the poems and one story. Very beautiful book. The pages are gilded, but with silver instead of gold.See less

(07/27/09) Ayn Rand wrote of her first novel, We the Living, It is as near to an autobiography as I will ever write. The plot is invented, the background is not The specific events of Kiras life were not mine: her ideas, her convictions, her values, were and are. We the Living depicts the struggle of the individual against the state, and the impact of the Russian Revolution on three human beings who demand the right to live their own lives and pursue their own happiness. It tells of a young womans passionate love, held like a fortress against the corrupting evil of a totalitarian state. This classic novel is not a story of politics, but of the men and women who have to struggle for existence behind the banners and slogans.See less

(07/28/09) David Sedaris became a star autobiographer on public radio, onstage in New York, and on bestseller lists, mostly on the strength of "SantaLand Diaries," a scathing, hilarious account of his stint as a Christmas elf at Macy's. (It's in two separate collections, both worth owning, Barrel Fever and the Christmas-themed Holidays on Ice.) Sedaris's caustic gift has not deserted him in his fourth book, which mines poignant comedy from his peculiar childhood in North Carolina, his bizarre career path, and his move with his lover to France. Though his anarchic inclination to digress is his glory, Sedaris does have a theme in these reminiscences: the inability of humans to communicate. The title is his rendition in transliterated English of how he and his fellow students of French in Paris mangle the Gallic language. In the essay "Jesus Shaves," he and his classmates from many nations try to convey the concept of Easter to a Moroccan Muslim. "It is a party for the little boy of God," says one....See less

(07/28/09) The plot turns with jeweled precision. Carl Lee Hailey gets an M-16 from the Chicago hoodlum he'd saved at Da Nang, wastes the rapists on the courthouse steps, then turns to attorney Jake Brigance, who needs a conspicuous win to boost his career. Folks want to give Carl Lee a second medal, but how can they ignore premeditated execution? The town is split, revealing its social structure. Blacks note that a white man shooting a black rapist would be acquitted; the KKK starts a new Clanton chapter; the NAACP, the ambitious local reverend, a snobby, Harvard-infested big local firm, and others try to outmaneuver Jake and his brilliant, disbarred drunk of an ex-law partner. Jake hits the books and the bottle himself. Crosses burn, people die, crowds chant "Free Carl Lee!" and "Fry Carl Lee!" in the antiphony of America's classical tragedy. Because he's lived in Oxford, Mississippi, Grisham gets compared to Faulkner, but he's really got the lean style and fierce folk moralism of John...See less

(07/28/09) Rice turned the vampire genre on its ear with this first novel (LJ 5/1/76), which evolved into one of the most popular series in recent history. Though the quality of the books has declined, this nonetheless is a marvelous, innovative, and literate tale of the longing for love and the search for redemption. This 20th-anniversary edition offers a trade-size paperback for a good price. Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.See less
