.Eating & Drinking in Paris: French Menu Reader and Restaurant Guide 4th edition (Open Road Travel Guides)

by: Andy Herbach, Michael Dillon

March 01, 2008
I just returned from five days in Paris, and took this along in my bag for the menu translations. I speak French, but the culinary terms often elude me, and this little book had every term I looked up. Don't agree with his editorial on Ile Flottant -- I love it!

.Sing A Song Of Popcorn: Every Child's Book Of Poems

from: Scholastic Press

September 01, 1988
This is a wonderful anthology of poetry, beautifully illustrated
by well known children's artists. I have 6 grandchildren, ranging from babies to a 9 year old. This book has material for
all ages, and it is well organized by subjects..."spooky poems",
"mostly nonsense", etc. The kids love it and so do I.

.Ultimate Annuals Volume 1 TPB (Ultimate)

by: Mark Millar, Brian K Vaughan, Brian Michael Bendis, Jae Lee, Tom Raney, Mark Brooks, Steve Dillon

February 01, 2006
Ultimate Annuals contains just what the title implies: annual issues of the various Ultimate universe titles. Ultimate Fantastic Four features the debut of the Ultimate Inhumans, and while the overall story isn't anything special, the superb art by Jae Lee makes it worth checking out for alone. In Ultimate X-Men, Juggernaut makes a play for a fabled gem (otherwise known in the regular Marvel universe as what actually gives him his powers), and ends up taking on both Gambit and Rogue. An otherwise average story, Brian K. Vaughan manages to leave a mark by offing a well-known character, and the story and Ultimate X-Men mythos are all the better for it. Brian Michael Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man chapter finds Peter Parker and X-Men member Kitty ... Read More:

.Nuts! The Battle of the Bulge: The Story and Photographs (America Goes to War)

by: J. Michael Wenger, Katherine V. Dillon, Donald M. Goldstein

April 30, 1997
Not the first book I would open on the Battle of the Bulge, as it is not comprehensive and a bit unbalanced. It's really a picture book, and in that respect, is worthwhile. The captions are more descriptive (and apparently accurate) than in many books. For example, the photos in a series taken by German battlefield photographers are shown to have been largely staged immediately after combat to re-enact the fighting- interesting. These photos show up in other books without that context mentioned. Those interested in the Malmedy trial will find the photos in that section noteworthy. Worth a look but not a classic for the collection unless you're really focused on the Battle of the Bulge.

.Eating and Drinking in Italy: Italian Menu Reader and Restaurant Guide, Second Edition

by: Andy Herbach, Michael Dillon

August 01, 2001
Ahhh, you are off the plane, you are jet-lagged and you are hungry. You want a good meal, but you don't know what to eat and the menu is in another language. Do you just pick something and hope for the best and pray it is not brains or something else that may be tasty but not really what you had bargained for? No, you get this guide, and you read through the commentary that these food loving authors with a sense of humor wrote for people like us.

In this guide you will get an introduction on the guide and travel, info on mealtimes, tipping, types of eating establishments, budget dining, specialty dining, a pronunciation guide, English to Italian words and phrases, a menu translator (this you will use!).

.Professional Oracle 8i Application Programming with Java, PL/SQL and XML

by: Michael Awai, Matthew Bortniker, John Carnell, Kelly Cox, Daniel O'Connor, Mario Zucca, Sean Dillon, Thomas Kyte, Ann Horton, Frank Hubeny, Glenn E. Mitchell II, Kevin Mukhar, Gary Nicol, Guy Ruth Hammond

2000-12
The best thing that can be said about this book is it's a confused ramble though Oracle. The book tries to cover Java, PL/SQL and XML, and fails to cover any depth in any of these subjects.
