Skeletons on the Zahara: A True Story of Survival from Little, Brown Price: $16.47 Customer Review:  As a boy, Abraham Lincoln read the memoir of Captain James Riley, and never forgot its story of slavery in the Sahara (or Zahara, as Riley would have known it). Thoreau knew the book. It was an international bestseller, and it might have been one of the few books besides the Bible in some American... |

Harbors and High Seas, 3rd Edition : An Atlas and Georgraphical Guide to the Complete Aubrey-Maturin Novels of Patrick O'Brian, Third Edition from Owl Books Price: $14.28 Customer Review:  If you enjoy the Aubrey-Maturin books as I did (and I read almost nothing else for several months), you will find this book an excellent reference aid. At times I found the geography in the books difficult to follow. The maps in Dean King's companion set forth with excellent clarity where Jack... |

Patrick O'Brian : A Life from Owl Books (NY) Price: $10.20 Customer Review: In what is presumably his final companion to Patrick O'Brian's work, Dean King details the experiences and emotions that drove and shaped O'Brian's literature. King's research is meticulous and often stunning, as when he describes O'Brian's brief and less-than-heroic RAF stint. The level of detail... |

Percival Keene (Heart of Oak Sea Classics Series.) from Owl Books (NY) Customer Review:  Having read Dean King's recommendation (as he is usually accurate), I was expecting something above the average - especially as it is included in a series of Classics... Sadly, not. Written in typical 19th Century style, it tends to verbosity and skirting around, instead of coming straight to... |

The Wing-and-Wing (Heart of Oak Sea Classics Series) from Owl Books Price: $10.50 Customer Review: I'm glad that I read the book before looking at an earlier reviewer's description of "long winded and laborious", or I may have skipped it. It is indeed a little "slow" in the first third or so, especially if your point of reference is a Marryat novel that would have had four battles fought by that... |

Cancer Combat : Cancer Servivors Share Their Guerrilla Tactics to Help You Win the Fight of YourLife from Bantam Price: $23.00 Customer Review:  I bought this book becase of the title, assuming there would be actual "tactics" to use in helping my Mother's battle with cancer. That's not what it's about. It's more like amazing stories, and having a "go-get'em!" attitude. If you're in the mood for inspiration and pep talks this may be... |
