Flocabulary: The Hip-Hop Approach to U.S. History (Flocabulary Study Guides)
Blake Harrison, Alexander Rappaport
Cider Mill Press, 2006
Great Tool
What a great tool. While I don't expect the songs to ever make it to the American Top 40 they are adequate and have a good beat. They have actually made it fun (or dare I say easy) to learn history!

Does Not Live Up to Title
It would be a great crossword puzzle book if it contained more questions regarding the Dallas Cowboys. A little misleading when looking at the title.

Happiness is a Warm Puppy (Peanuts)
Charles M. Schulz
Cider Mill Press, 2006
Wonderful Piece of Childhood
It's great to have this book again. I had the first editions of all the small "square hardbacks" in the 60's, but lost them somewhere along the line.
They reflect the simplicity and warmth of PEANUTS in their very format.
Happiness Is a Book By Charles Schulz!

Musicians Notebook: Guitar (Musician's Notebook, the)
Matthew Teacher
Cider Mill Press, 2006
Does the job, but could have a couple more features
Basically, it's a bunch of staff paper with TAB lines and guitar chord blocks... good at what it's designed for, but there's not much in the way of extras. The quotes are kind of nice, but not exactly useful.
What would have been useful would have been a couple of ...
