Combines scary, heartwarming, and sexy.......2004-01-18
Jessica Lewis wakes up in her hotel room with a monster headache and a dead man in her room. She quickly becomes the chief suspect and the only person who seems to believe her at all is sexy Conner Hayden--the dead senator's brother. Conner says he's afraid the police will settle on her and leave the real killer undiscovered, but Jessica soon learns that Conner has other designs--designs on her. But Jessica has secrets of her own--secrets that make her certain that she's not the right woman for Conner. Of course, staying alive is the first challenge and someone seems intent on finishing what they started in Jessica's hotel. In SHADOWS OF THE PAST, author Joanna Wayne gives the familiar dead-body-no-memory hook new meaning with this tight story.
Private Detective Wilson Greenfield doesn't like rich women. When attractive 40-something Vivian Shaw walks into his office, he wants to turn her down flat. But Detectives need to pay the bills and he takes her case--finding the birth family of Vivian's adoptive daughter, Vanessa. It would have been all right if Vivian and Vanessa had let him do his job and read his reports, but they insist on his presenting his findings in person. And, when he tracks down one of Vanessa's long-lost sisters, Vivian decides to go along on the trip to meet her.
Vivian spent more than twenty years following a man's rules. Now that her husband is dead, she intends to stretch her wings. At first, Will Greenfield seems controlling and dominating--but she soon learns that there is a warm heart beneath the sexy but gruff exterior--and she decides she wants more. In FAMILY UNVEILED, author Judy Christenberry tells a heart-warming story of families lost and found, and of two people who struggle to put their pasts behind them to create a new future together.
Rachel Dubois has no business seeing Gabriel Wellington--he has a pending zone change request before the city council where she serves. But the second he asks her for a dance, Rachel knows that nothing will be the same. She responds to his touch as she never has before--and his touch is practiced and perfect. Desire makes common sense take the back seat and sweeps her into a relationship with a man she hardly knows--and really shouldn't know better. Gabriel has recreated his family wealth and now he's at a key juncture in his life. But Rachel makes all of his dreams seem petty. He wants more. But can the two of them ever have anything beyond a passionate affair? Because the political conflict of interest is far from the biggest secret that Gabriel is holding back. In SLEEPING WITH SECRETS, author Tori Carrington heats up the pages with a sexy story of desire, love, and forbidden passion.

Graphic SF Reader.......2007-09-03
Weng does something foolish after he finds out his sister is alive, and gets involved with a drug dealer, and Modesty and Willie end up fighting the Viet Cong to try and get to her. Apart from that, they deal with a psychic and a group of agent recruiters, and a pair of sociopaths running a large call-girl operation.
Book Description
Goofy silent one page gags crammed with little frames showing Mr. O, a round doodle of a man, desperately trying to get over to the other side, and just never quite making it. Everyone else can do it, why can't he? Will keep you in stitches for pages. More of Trondheim's genius at work!
Customer Reviews:
A very gracious little guy!.......2007-08-25
Everything happens to Mister O! trying to cross a cliff to the other side of the mountain, he will go through all sorts of thing to cross, and then once there... he will fell!
A very very funny book, my niece loved it from the library and I bought it for her, but I enjoyed it as well!
It is amazing how the author does not need words to discribe situations, and to make you laugh!
Great book for kids that do not read yet.
A great comedy book to gather all the family!
I can not stop prasing it! I love it!
Wonderfully hilarious!.......2007-06-27
I don't think I've ever laughed so hard. It's horrible, and you should feel bad for the poor little guy who's just trying to get across a chasm and continually meets with an untimely end, but it's absolutely hilarious to see. I bought one for my school library back in December, and it hasn't been in for more than five minutes since. Mister O is pure genius, and an absolute riot.
A Great Book.......2007-05-14
"Mister O" is one of the funniest, most original, most beutiful things I have ever seen in my life. You should feel sorry for Mister O as he comes to many untimely fates(Most of them involve falling of a cliff) But you can't help laughing out loud at every strip. It has some blood, and someone dies each strip, so parents may want to read it before they give it to their kids. but I still recommend this book to any fan of comics, slapstick, or people falling to their deaths.
Awesome.......2007-01-06
I waited for a couple of months for this (I think I ordered in November and got it in early January) because it was not in stock. Well worth the wait. Great stuff!
Wonderful!.......2005-08-06
Image: A 6-year-old boy sitting crosslegged on the floor and a 40+ man leaning against a wall of comic books in NYC's Forbidden Planet store each reading Mister O. Both (unbeknownst to each other) following each panel of every page and literally laughing out loud...
P.S. I bought the book. Many congratulations to this brilliant author for managing to portray the complexities of life in such an accessible way!

Great intro to Cryptography.......2007-01-20
This book is a fantastic introduction to the art and science of Cryptography. It shows you in detail various ciphers used throughout history, and how to decipher them. Then it has a problem solving section that starts small and builds until you are trying to solve incredibly complex problems. It truly challenges and expands the mind. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning cryptography.
An interesting look at encryption before the computer.......2004-08-23
This book provides a very fascinating look at substitution and transposition ciphers of the WWII era. It provides detailed instructions on how each cipher is implemented, and provides a chapter on the cryptanalysis of ciphers as well as a chapter of ciphers for the reader to break. A great text for the study of manual cipher systems.
