|
By: Gregory Hartley
Publisher: Castle Books
January 23, 2009
Another great book from Hartley and Karinch. A slightly military approach, it covers the body language, vocal, verbal,and other body response changes that occur when we lie, together with how personality type can affect how likely a person is to be lying at any given time. It also lists reasons for lying and of course strategies to reveal lies. My feelings on the issue of lying are that in relationships... more

By: Ambrose Bierce
Publisher: Castle Books;distributed to the trade by Book Sales, inc
1967
One of the first things I wanted to download onto my new Kindle was "The Devil's Dictionary" by Ambrose Bierce. I have several hardcover versions of it, but wanted a portable (and especially) searchable one. By day two of my new Kindle I was on the phone with tech support because that book continually froze the device. The tech support woman confirmed that they are having problems with this particular... more

|
By: Edgar Allan Poe
Publisher: Castle Books
2003-04
I read this book to get inside the head of Edgar Allan Poe. It was like eating corn chips, one story leads to another. Especially enjoyed the Mask of the Red Death and Eleonora. What is amazing is the extensive vocabulary of this master writer. This is a great book to have for those stormy winter nights with your fireplace crackling. ... more

| 6. Bridgman's complete guide to drawing from life |
|
By: George Brant Bridgman
Publisher: Castle Books
1952
I've seen it written on more than one occasion that George Bridgman's work is one of the touchstones of anatomic drawing for the artistically-inclined. While I don't want to contradict these august individuals, I have to offer a caveat - this book is only helpful depending on your particular artistic style and skill level, so buyer certainly beware.
This book, which is tremendously thick... more

| 9. The Last Comanche Chief: The Life and Times of Quanah Parker |
|
By: Bill Neeley
Publisher: Castle Books
September 11, 2009
The US needs to get a life and balance; at one time any book mentioning a Native American just about had to contain the idea of "bloodthirsty" or "sneaky", even if the Native American was an old Navajo woman weaving blankets. Then there is this superficial mess, which extolls Quanah Parker to the point where you wonder if the man ever burped.
Yes, it has a long and hairy index quoting... more

| 10. All The Women Of The Bible | 
|
By: M. L. del Mastro
Publisher: Castle Books
November 16, 2009
This is an awesome tool to have, as their is more than one Mary in the bible, this book list each one and provides information on each one. This book also provides stories of the women, and gives their history. I almost passed this book up when I came across it because I thought that it was going to be another book attempting to tell about all the women in the bible and failing to do so.
