George Washington's Rules of Civility & Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation (Little Books of Wisdom)
George Washington
Applewood Books(MA), 1989
Ageless advice for "civil" conduct.
Whether this little 30 page book is worth the price or whether George Washington copied these as a penmanship excercise from an english translation of some 16th century French Jesuit writings is immaterial. After you read these "Rules of Civility" you will feel like ...

Constitution of the United States (Little Books of Wisdom)
Applewood Books(MA), 1995
Good ideas, but they'll never work in practice...
.
This work of legislative science fiction is a great idea. One can only wish that some country some day will put it into practice. It's a very nice, well-thought out, comprehensive and fairly consistent piece of political fiction.
The problem is that the ideas ...

The Jefferson Bible: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth
Thomas Jefferson
Applewood Books(MA), 2006
An interesting book from an historic standpoint.
This book is historically important, and used in US military schools as a template of good values.
This book is merely a cut an paste of most of the "interesting values" in some of the gospels accepted and selected by the church.
I do wish that Thomas Jefferson ...

The Secret of the Old Clock (Nancy Drew, Book 1)
Carolyn Keene
Applewood Books(MA), 1991
You may want to get the older copies of these books . . .
I have loved reading Nancy Drew since I was little. They are still fun, however you may want to find older copies of these books to really get your money's worth. Otherwise, you will be buying what is in essence a disposable product, kind of like a magazine or ...

The Settlement Cook Book: The Way to a Man's Heart
Mrs. Henry Schoenfeld
Applewood Books(MA), 1996
Excellent "basic" cookbook
I received this book as a gift about 15 years ago & it is by far my most often used. It was originally copyrighted in 1901 & has been revised many times, however many of the recipes still appear as they did then. Recipes range from the very simple (scrambled eggs ...

The Clue in the Jewel Box (Nancy Drew, Book 20)
Carolyn Keene
Applewood Books(MA), 2005
the clue in the jewel box
I thought the quality of the book was just as the seller described. I bought it for my niece, so I have not read it. I did read all Nancy Drew when I was young.

The Secret in the Old Attic (Nancy Drew, Book 21)
Carolyn Keene
Applewood Books(MA), 2005
Totally worth reading
I read this in about one day, it may not have been exactly the most action-filled book, but it just somehow keeps me excited. It is hard to get up and use the bathroom, when you are reading this. I do think that anyone who likes Nancy Drew and Mystery should read this, ...

Quotations of Thomas Jefferson (Quote/Unquote)
Thomas Jefferson
Applewood Books, 2004
"Men of Men" (born of Women)
I will never be able to write a suitable review for this book - the scope of what lies between it's covers is far too great to do justice to in a review, and I am vastly inadequate to the task in any event. So, the one I write today comes from the heart - as one of ...

The Tower Treasure (Hardy Boys, Book 1)
Franklin W Dixon
Applewood Books(MA), 1991
"Joe toppled over the railing into space!"
As with many of the reviewers of this book, well beyond the ages it was originally intended for, it is a trip down nostalgic lane. My story is not unlike the others. My first introduction to the Hardy Boys were books given to me every birthday and Christmas. On ...
