Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-12 Summary: Hammer's German Grammar and Usage ... An excellent reference for beginning, intermediate, and advanced German speakers. Explanations are clear and thorough. I should have purchased this book years ago! ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-28 Summary: The Book I Want On A Desert Island ... This is hands-down the single book I would want to have if stranded on a desert island. Words cannot describe the awesomeness that is this book. Mr. Durrell's masterpiece demands superlatives. As far as printed material goes, this is all you need to go from intermediate to fluent in German. (Of course you still need to practice speaking, listening, and writing to become fluent). I am a U.S. citizen now living in Germany, and this book vastly improved my German. I can't say enough about it. Get it! Keep a copy next ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-09 Summary: Serious Learners Will Want This. ... Hello, I'm an American student of German. I have taken two college courses before picking up this book. I am a big fan of German music. I enjoy German bands that play schlager, Rock, Euro härte, Euro Techno, and even more traditional music. I have not finished this book yet. Although, from my initial look. I see a very complete set of rule of German grammar for the English speaker. This book is very dense. I would suggest, for most that have just started learning German, to consider a good overview of German before ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-24 Summary: An excellent grammar, when used correctly. ... As other reviewers have already emphasized, this is an excellent English language resource for German grammar. An incredible amount of detail is given, and attention is paid both to general rules and specific exceptions, even down to the most obscure and archaic. Both difficult and simple grammatical terms are explained through examples in English, which makes this book an excellent tool for coming to a deep understanding of the German language. As mentioned by others, this is no book for beginners. Only high-intermediate ...more

The Mike Hammer Collection Volume 1
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9780451203526; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-06-09 Summary: Just get to the meat of the matter ... Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer collection is a must have for detective thrillers and nostalgia seekers alike. The lowest common denominator language unembellished with adjectives and adverbs is raw, urgent, harsh and cuts to the bone. Hammer is a hard drinking neanderthal with a nonstop libido. Maybe if people read more by writers like Spillane, they wouldn't believe the flowery garbage they see in print these days was so good. The first story dove straight into the fray. It is hard to put the volume down. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-03-11 Summary: The only thing a punk understands is a crack on the jaw with the barrel of a forty-five ... This set (and it's companion volume) really represent Spillane and Hammer at their hard-bitten best. It took literally decades for Spillane to get the respect he always deserved (but couldn't have cared less about) for his creation. Frankly, Hammer deserves a place on the same plateau as Marlowe and Spade. From the cold blooded "It was easy" to the shocking "Juno was a..." Take a walk on the wild side and rain swept NY back alleys with the Hammer. It's dark and dangerous, but you will never regret it. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-02-20 Summary: Down memory lane ... I loved these books when I was in High School. They were a big reason I became a private detective. But, they are a little dated for today. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane when everyone smoked, cars and starter buttons, and girls were dames. They are a wonderful look back into the 1950's. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-24 Summary: "It Was Easy." (No, it only looks that way) ... Back in the day when I was teaching university literature courses, I would annually shock some English department colleagues by suggesting to students that Raymond Chandler was a better writer than F. Scott Fitzgerald. I smile to think of their reactions today if I were teaching a course in American literature, in which I would spend serious time reading and discussing Mickey Spillane and his unforgettable character, Mike Hammer. Spillane was never a trickster or sensationalist. He was a hard worker and a born storyteller ...more

I Had a Hammer: The Hank Aaron Story
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-06 Summary: The life of Aaron is the story of the integration of baseball and great changes in America that were for the better ... When the subject of the integration of baseball is raised, the focus is almost exclusively on Jackie Robinson. While his role cannot be overstated, it does overshadow the difficulties that the second wave of black players had, of which Hank Aaron was one. Most of these players began in the old Negro leagues and then were given the chance to play in the major leagues after Jackie's success. Aaron was one of those players and he was also one of the black players that integrated one of the minor leagues based in the ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-29 Summary: Arnold Palmer written by James Dodson ... James Dodson does a great job in this book as in all of his books. Takes time to get the details correct. Nice book on a very nice person Arnold Palmer. Carl Welty ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-08-13 Summary: Still the greatest home run hitter ever. ... It doesn't matter how many home runs Berry Bond's or anyone of this aera of Baseball, what Hank AAron endured and the racial hatred he went through only proves that he is the BEST. These modern day players could not survive what he and others went through. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-07-04 Summary: Mr Aaron is a very humble, decent man ... I've been a fan from age seven, which is where I was in life when Henry hit number 715. His recounting of his life in baseball is captivating and highly educational. Mr Aaron is one of the most skilled players in baseball history, and his telling of his story explains that he is much more than that. Mr Aaron is a man of dignity and class, his success through clouds of racist hate provides a shining example of what a man can be under extreme circumstances. Thank you Henry, for your marvelous career in baseball, and ...more

But the world also left its mark on him. I Had a Hammer is much more than the intimate autobiography of one of the greatest names in pro sportsit is a fascinating social history of twentieth-century America. With courage and candor, Aaron recalls his struggles and triumphs in an atmosphere of virulent racism. He relives the breathtaking...more
Hammer Films- A Life In Pictures: The Visual Story of Hammer Films
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-07-19 Summary: One of the best books on Hammer Films ... This book may strike some people as pricey, but if you love Hammer Films like I do, it is well worth it. This book is different from other Hammer books in that it is totally visual. Most of the pictures have never been published before, and there are a number of behind-the-scenes photos which show a side of Hammer Films most fans have not seen. This book does not contain a "nuts and bolts" history of Hammer--there are plenty of other books which do that. This is a book for the hard-core Hammer fan who thinks he or ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-03-01 Summary: Beautiful Photo History of Hammer Films ... This is a fantastic book. Hundreds of photos showcase the studio that was Hammer. Broken down into chapters including Frankenstein, Dracula, Science Fiction, Drama, Fantasy, Comedy, etc. The photos are crisp and clear, mostly b/w, but there are several color sections. You will spend hours with this book. I loved it and wish there were more books like this. Limited to 2500 copies, get yours today before they are gone. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-11-10 Summary: Great Conclusion to a Good Story ... Karen Miller is a fine storyteller and this book is an exciting conclusion to the Godspeaker Trilogy. The first book of the three is in my opinion the slowest, but the other two more than make up. I really enjoyed all three. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-07-05 Summary: A Strong End to a Strong Series ... I carefully read and enjoyed the other two books in this trilogy, Empress and The Riven Kingdom, despite the many negative things written on this website about them. I think I came into this book with high expectations, therefore, and most of them were met. I would strongly recommend this book to a friend, and would convince people who are doubting the series after Empress (which seems to be the common path), to at least continue on to this book. Please be forewarned, if you continue to read this review, there will ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-04-12 Summary: Karen Miller Rocks Once More ... I love, love, love Karen Miller's books. Once I start one, I can't put it down. ...more
