Intimate look into the private lives of royal women.......2002-01-06
After Queen Victoria's death, her youngest daughter Beatrice (at Victoria's own request) edited all her journals and destroyed the originals. However, the letters between Victoria and her eldest daughter, Empress Frederick of Germany, were kept elsewhere and remained intact.
This series provides an invaluable, candid look at Victoria's intimate feelings and private opinions. Forget the dour old monarch intoning "We are not amused"; here you encounter a mother sharing her thoughts, hopes, fears and opinions with her daughter.
This book is a follow-up to the multi-volume series by Roger Fulford (Your Dear Letter, Dearest Mama, Dearest Child, etc). Fulford's work as an editor was superior in my opinion. If you are seriously interested in finding out what Queen Victoria and Vicky (Empress Frederick) were like as people, I'd recommend looking for the Roger Fulford series in a good library or through used booksellers.
This book is still very enjoyable, and definitely worth reading for Victoriana buffs. But some may have difficulty keeping track of historical events and figures.
Dear Mom, I mean Your Majesty:.......2000-07-09
This is an excellent book, but not for the beginner. If you know very little about German or English history, this book might be confusing at times. For those with some background it is an absolutely delightful glimpse into the lives of two outstanding characters. A "must have" for fans of Queen Victoria or the Kaiserin Friedrich!
Great insight into Victoria and Vicky's minds.......2000-05-01
I loved reading these letters! Behind the cold royal facade are two very likeable women who truly understand each other. It is fun to see these two (a Queen and Crown Princess) relate to each other in the same way most mothers and daughters do. "Keep your back straight, brush your teeth, don't eat too much or laugh too loud"
their desolation over the deaths of Albert, Victoria's beloved husband and Vicky's dad and of Alice, Vicky's sister, is so real and palpable.
there are other books in this series, I've read them as well and they're delightful.
Interesting subject, mediocre editing.......2000-03-15
This last collection of the letters between Queen Victoria and her oldest daughter, the Empress Frederick, cannot help but be fascinating. Unfortunately, the editing and annotation cannot in any way compare to Roger Fulford's work on the previous volumes. The annotations are either in brackets (interrupting the flow of the page-- the Queen and her daughter were fond of nicknames and abbreviations, so a great deal of annotation is needed) or at the end of the book (necessitating flipping to the back of the book and figuring out the footnote number to read the clarifying information). While this book is not as easily readable as the previous volumes, the information it contains is just as interesting.

A good introduction to the life of a professional announcer.......1997-08-06
This is one of Dick Irvin's first outings as an author. The book details his rise as an broadcaster and his life in hockey from childhood to the present. While this is not quite as entertaining as some of Irvin's later books, it is a good compilation of stories which will hold the interest of Irvin and Hockey Night in Canada fans everywhere
Book Description
Fred Shero, the head coach of the teams forever remembered as the "Broad Street Bullies," chose the hours before Game 4 of the 1974 Stanley Cup Finals to inscribe this on the locker room blackboard: "Win together now and we walk together forever." Well, of course, that team went on to win not one, but two Stanley Cups. Shero could not have been more prophetic. Thirty years later, members of those Cup teams are still revered in the city of Philadelphia and throughout the hockey world, for that matter. In Walking Together Forever: The Broad Street Bullies Then and Now author Jim Jackson wants to bring people back to those glorious days of the 1974 and 1975 Stanley Cup championships through the telling of so many of the incredible anecdotes that emanated from the many memorable characters that created the glory: Walking Together Forever: The Broad Street Bullies Then and Now will follow the major principals of the Cup wins, taking readers through the remainder of those heroes' hockey careers, into retirement, and up to the present. Many of the stories of their personal trials, travails, and successes since hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup are as compelling as those from the championship years themselves. In the eyes of hockey fans, members of those teams have indeed "walked together forever."

Combination of both previous works.......2006-01-08
This isn't really a review, per se, but readers/buyers should be aware that, from the inside copyright page, this work was "Previously published as Pente strategy I and Pente strategy II."
Just so you have *some* information on the contents, there are chapters covering: 1) Openings, 2) Middle game, 3) Endgames, 4) Perspective, 5) Illustrated Games, 6) Pente Problems
As for "Reading level: Ages 4-8". Umm... no.

Beat Everyone You Know.......2005-06-08
A great book to learn how to really play this game. You learn how to think about forming strategies and various tactical themes. The book is easy to read and can be completed within a few hours depending on how much thought you exert. With even a relatively casual read, you will certainly increase your skill level and enjoyment of the game.
The author actually wrote 3 books with the third, Pente Strategy, simply putting the first 2 books together as one. The second book is pretty much impossible to find and the third will likely cost you about 3 times what the first book costs. However,the third book is worth the money, if you want to play seriously, on the internet in real time, with the best players in the world at Dweebo's Stone Games.

Customer Reviews:
This book is a good introductory........1998-09-28
The authors do a good job of letting readers know what they are in store for when entering this field. However, little attention was paid to smaller venues. But if used as a inside look at what goes into a huge sporting event this is a pretty good read.
