Many Moons (A Harcourt Brace Contemporary Classic)

James Thurber

Voyager Books, 1998

I want the moon!
This has to be one of the most hilarious and enchanting children's books ever written. It was written ages ago, and yet it still has such a power over everyone that it might as well be considered a classic (I hope it is) as it artfully combines a fairy tale, humor, and ...

Case in Point:Complete Case Interview Preparation - 5th edition

Marc P. Cosentino

Burgee Press, 2007

The answer to interview madness
I am a second year MBA candidate at Columbia Business School and in the thick of interview prep. I have a stack of case prep materials and had no idea to begin. When I asked my friends who have successfuly gone through the process, i.e. they're all heading back to top ...

For Boys Only: The Biggest, Baddest Book Ever

Marc Aronson, HP Newquist

Feiwel & Friends, 2007

Hands-down the best of the "boy" books!
How to make fake blood, how to make a bow and arrow (gulp), and clever card tricks are a few of the things my 8-year-old son has brought up at the dinner table since receiving this as a holiday gift. Some of his friends got it too, and it's fun to overhear them ...

Pocket Medicine: The Massachusetts General Hospital Handbook of Internal Medicine (Pocket Notebook Series)

Marc S Sabatine

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007

Great reference for any pharmacy or medical student
This book is a great reference for any medical student or pharmacy student. I purchased this book for clerkship, as the medical students were always looking at it. Every common disease state is in there, as well as diagnostic criteria such as the Duke or Wells ...

How to Be a Friend: A Guide to Making Friends and Keeping Them (Dino Life Guides for Families)

Laurie Krasny Brown

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2001

A great teaching tool!
I read this book to my seven year old son and was amazed at the things he was telling me. We had a wonderful conversation on all the topics in this book. It is a great way to show children how to make friends and keep them. Complete with examples.

Nate the Great and the Snowy Trail

Marjorie Weinman Sharmat

Yearling, 1984

I think this is the best Nate the Great adventure.
Rosamond's present slid off of her sled. Nate the Great walked to her house and noticed that there were 6 cartons of milk on the table. Rosamond had only 4 cats and each cat drank a single bottle of milk. What could the other 2 bottles be for? Nate followed the ...

Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child

Marc Weissbluth

Ballantine Books, 2003

Finally, my baby sleeps!
For the first 5 months of life my baby only took 1 or 2 half-hour naps a day, and woke up often throughout the night. I was soooo exhausted and stressed. It took hours for her to fall asleep for naps, and both of us were miserable. I tried soothing, nursing, ...

II Viaggio Di Vetri: A Culinary Journey

Marc Vetri, David Joachim

Ten Speed Press, 2008

FINALLY!
I have been a fan of Marc Vetri for years. I'm so excited that he has a book finally. The thing I like most is it's not just a recipe book, it is a story about what it took to get where he is. I applaud him including everyone from Italy and making them integral ...

The 13 Clocks

James Thurber

NYR Children's Collection, 2008

My favorite book, apparently in revival
This was the first book I ever remember, and the first book I could read to myself. I have read it out loud to many children, and hope to read it to future grandchildren. My copy, from 1950, sits with Darwin's Origin of Species, Ulysses, and the complete full size ...

Reckless Road: Guns N' Roses and the Making of Appetite for Destruction

Canter, Marc

Shoot Hip Press, 2007

Essential for any GnR fan!
The book itself is very cool, written by a close friend of the band who was a photography buff and chronicled the band's rise in 1985-86. Lots of good pics I had never seen before (and many you will recognize from the liner notes to Appetite.) But the reason this book ...

Barbara Seagram, Marc Smith

Master Point Press, 1999

Terrific bridge book on the essential conventions

Nate The Great And The Crunchy Christmas (Nate The Great, paper)

Marjorie Weinman Sharmat, Craig Sharmat

Yearling, 1997

Nate is great !
My son, husband and I all throughly enjoyed this Nate the Great book as well as all of the others we have read. If you haven't read any of the Nate books but like clever stories about kids and dogs give Nate the Great a try.

Inside the Not So Big House: Discovering the Details that Bring a Home to Life (Susanka)

Sarah Susanka, Marc Vassallo

Taunton, 2007

Several Good Ideas for My Project Here
I bought and then gutted a 1960s, three-story, 3,700 SF office building. Serving as my own architect and general contractor, I completed the two lower floors as offices for my professional engineering firm. I then turned my attention to converting the third floor into ...

Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water, Revised Edition

Marc Reisner

Penguin (Non-Classics), 1993

Ahead of its time
This was a return engagement to "Cadillac Desert", as I had read the original in the 1980s, amazed at the time, considering it a premier example of thorough history and analysis in a subject about which few people knew much at all. What could have been a "dry" subject ...

Frommer's Australia 2009 (Frommer's Complete)

Lee Mylne, Marc Llewellyn, ...

Frommers, 2008

Good book, not what we needed
Great info for Australia. We are cruising so only needed sections on Melborne and Syndney.
