Cassell's Dictionary of Norse Myth & Legend (Cassell Reference) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have been reading serious books about Norse mythology since the mid-1960s (I don't remember when I first encountered versions for children), and have studied the primary sources in translation, and, to a very limited (and amateurish) extent, in the original languages. This is exactly the sort of reference...

Keep in mind that those who make statements that are anti-Christian of this book, here and on other sites, mean that the power of God is working and there are some who are scared. This work is simply an alternative...

Christian Response to Dungeons and Dragons Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am a Christian and I must say that this book does not deserve the title '"Christian" Response to Dungeons and Dragons'. Many of the facts are wrong and most of the arguments are deceptive or outright false. If you are planning to read this book, I recommend you get the Dungeons & Dragons Player's...

The Adventures of Amir Hamza (Modern Library) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book is delightfully written as a translation from the Urdu text. As I read, it has the flowery descriptiveness of the old Urdu stories, leaving me with a feeling as if I was reading an Urdu book. It is well written, is interesting and the story is captivating. This book is one to keep in your personal...
