Technical Manual and Dictionary of Classical Ballet (Dover Books on Dance)

Gail Grant

Dover Publications, 1982

Excellent resource for a more experienced ballet dancer or ballet teacher
This book best serves those who have had enough experience with ballet to be able to understand the terms within the definitions themselves. Almost all ballet terms in this book contain other ballet terms within the definitions, and pictures are minimal (positions of ...

Heart of Darkness (Dover Thrift Editions)

Joseph Conrad

Dover Publications, 1990

An excellent piece of epistemology!
On page 3, the narrator (not Marlow) tells us that "Marlow was not typical (if his propensity to spin yarns be excepted), and to him the meaning of an episode was not inside like a kernel but outside, enveloping the tale which brought it out only as a glow brings out a ...

Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (Dover Thrift Editions)

Harriet Jacobs

Dover Publications, 2001

Unexpected turn of events
It's obvious the difficulty slaves endured. Ironic, but she endures a great deal more than most. How her story ends is not predictable.

The Elements of Style: The Original Edition

William Strunk

Dover Publications, 2006

Simple, Yet Completely Necessary
I've had writing friends say that The Elements of Style is just too basic, too old-fashioned to be relied upon. As a writer who uses this book constantly, I say not so. Strunk offers up 52 pages of essential information for the writer in all of us. There are no endless ...

Candide (Dover Thrift Editions)

Voltaire

Dover Publications, 1991

Best of all Worlds
From an optimist point of view, this book is simply in supportive of Leibniz's Best of all Possible Worlds theory. However, this book is a Voltaire's satire to Leibniz's theory. It is comical and gruesome but in the end, you learn to deal and live peacefully. You do ...

1001 Most Useful Spanish Words (Beginners' Guides)

Seymour Resnick

Dover Publications, 1996

Why Is This Book Useful?
After learning German from scratch, I realized about eight months later that my unwieldy and large German-English dictionaries were a drag. They were slow and clunky. When I decided to learn Spanish, the first thought I had was to find the right reference book for ...

Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition (Thrift Edition)

Walt Whitman

Dover Publications, 2007

What More Can Be Said?
It's difficult to think of something appropriate to say about a man who spent his life trying to express the panorama of humanity through the lense of his own heart. From a drop of blood to the grandeur of a shipyard or a continent, he takes all readers on a journey ...

Jane Eyre (Dover Thrift Editions)

Charlotte Brontë

Dover Publications, 2003

Wonderful!
Jane Eyre is never a disappointment. Bronte really can touch your heart with the struggles of the main character. A woman in the post-modern era could have easily been in the same situation. Bronte put forth a completely time-less quality in this book. If you have the ...

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin (Dover Thrift Editions)

Benjamin Franklin

Dover Publications, 1996

Franklin's informal account of his remarkable life
In many ways, this is, to someone coming to it for the first time, a very surprising book. For one thing, it is amazingly incomplete. Franklin is, of course, one of the most famous Americans who ever lived, and his accomplishments in a wide array of endeavors are a ...

First Spanish Reader: A Beginner's Dual-Language Book (Beginners' Guides)

Dover Publications, 1988

Me gusto mucho este libro!
I found this book most helpful in reviewing my knowledge and understanding of Spanish. I could attempt to read the passages in Spanish and then seen if I had understood them correctly by then reading the English version. It is a wonderful resource for intermediate ...

Max Weber, Talcott Parsons, ...

Dover Publications, 2003

Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac

Elizabeth Zimmermann

Dover Publications, 1981

NOT FOR EVERYONE...
EZ's Knitter's Almanac was, to me a beautifuly done book. Half story book, half knitting instruction, EZ's wit and wisdom really shine in this lovely colection of patterns and shared stories. I do not, however, feel that this book is for everyone. If you are a ...
