Harry Potter Boxed Set -- Chamber of Secrets, Sorcerer's Stone,
Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. Rowling ($55.85) "A great book and series, leaving you wanting more. I'm 52 and am loving the Harry Potter story. The whole "magical idea" and series is incredibly imaginative, creative, refreshing and fun to get lost in. The only downside is I don't think this should be promoted as just a children's book. It's such a pleasant escape from reality I think it should be listed as reading for ages 9-99. I'm sending all three books to my mother for her 80th
birthday." (A Reader from San Francisco, California USA)
2000 Writer's Market : The Electronic Edition with CD-ROM
by Kirsten C. Holm (Editor), Bill Brohaugh (Editor), Andrew Lucyszyn (Editor) ($49.99) Paperback "There's a reason the annual "Writer's Market" is many a writer's most cherished, and dog-eared, possession. Where else--besides the prohibitively expensive "Literary Market Place"--can one find detailed listings for over 1,750 magazines, 1,150 book publishers, and 250 script buyers? ...70 pages worth of contests and awards; 60 literary agents (and 20 script agents) who swear they're willing to work with new writers; 35 newspaper syndicates; and 35 greeting-card companies. With so many prospective markets gathered between two covers, you're certain, ...to find a loving home for your precious prose or poesy. (Jane Steinberg, Editor of Amazon Delivers Books for Writers) "Excellent!!! I have used WM for many years now and have
only recently discovered the usefulness of the electronic edition.
The CD is much easier to carry around than the book and I can access the market info from my desktop without having to flip through multiple pages." (A Reader from Columbus, Ohio USA)
Work In Progress by Michael D. Eisner, Tony Schwartz ($27.95) "Great book about Disney during 1984-1998. The book is well written. I especially like the conflicts/problems that M.

I recommend it to anyone who is interested in how a creative company like Disney does business." (A Reader from
the Netherlands)

the Workplace and Marketplace by Thomas Petzinger Jr. ($24.50) "Best business book I've read in years. Command-and-control is still
very much the operative model in American business. Petzinger
demolishes it with style.

He uses story telling to great advantage so that the wisdom here springs from the cases he cites. This is a clear, easy-to-read book, full of good sense that is as applicable to running a
large organization as to running a scout troop. The first business I've really enjoyed in years." (A Reader from New York City, New York USA)

Why I Write : Thoughts on the Craft of Fiction edited by Will Blythe ($23.00) "With the enormous quantity of books on the market purporting to teach us how to write, it is with some relief that someone has thought to pull one together on why writers write. Will Blythe, a contributing editor to Harper's and Mirabella and formerly the literary editor at Esquire, has assembled a fine cast of 26 contemporary fiction writers to muse on his assigned topic "Why I write." The reasons, boiled down, range from "Because I can't do anything else" to "Because I can't not write." Ho-hum. But these are fiction writers, don't forget, and fiction writers can spin yarns."
