MetroBooks (NY), 2001 An excellent, readable reference I have started reading a lot of historical fiction and nonfiction, and have found Haywood's Altas to be very useful.

Two caveats if you try any of these techniques: ...             Peanuts Treasury Charles M. Schulz MetroBooks (NY), 2000 Peanuts Treasury is NOT the same as Peanuts Treasury Apparently there has been a mix-up: The two "editions" of this book DON'T correspond to each other.

John Campbell MetroBooks (NY), 2001 Shake Hands With the Greats: The Book of Great Books Let's face it. Who is the most likely reader of THE BOOK OF GREAT BOOKS by W. John Campbell?
