That's really stretching it moibib!!!! Source-book of English History : Leading Documents by Guy Carelton Lee OK I know that 'Source-book' is a compound noun Schmerguls! Message edited by its author, Sep 18, 2008, 12:50pm. Re 148: Yes I know moibib... but normally one does not include a journal's reference as its title -- e.g. (1962) Mississippi Law Review 1:1(Fall), but that is not the title of the journal which is M.L.R. etc....
sorry to be so picky since I used a compound noun myself... Charmed Life by Diana Wynne Jones Message edited by its author, Sep 18, 2008, 6:15pm.

Anthony Lukas (read 19 Aug 1999) (Pulitzer Nonfiction prize co-winner in 1986) (National Book Award nonfiction prize in 1985) (National Book Critics Circle nonfiction award for 1985) I don't know about you, but when I see a book listed that looks interesting, I look to see if the poster has reviewed it. I seldom find a review. I have reviews (really comments) posted of every book read since 1984, and am posting more as I get to it. These comments were made to myself right after reading the book. I wish your comments on a book you post were findable. Three Early Modern Utopias: Thomas More: Utopia / Francis Bacon: New Atlantis / Henry Neville: The Isle of Pines by Thomas More, Francis Bacon, and Henry Neville, edited by Susan Bruce, OUP USA 1999 re 214: dear Schmerguls: I would if I had the time but I don't! But I've looked at some of your reviews and they're interesting. I'd certainly encourage people to review their books if they can. This book, (i.e. 213 not 216) for example, is a good well written sound informative book from the point of view of a legal (not a constitutional) historian, but I disgree with some of the author's premises... as for 216, everyone can draw value from these writers (More and Bacon in particular) Message edited by its author, Sep 23, 2008, 11:24am. One upon a more enlightened time: more politically correct bedtime stories by James Finn Garner Stories Told: Stories and Images of the Berger Inquiry by Patrick ScottReviewed, as are all my books. That's because I'm using LT to catalogue what I am reading, not my library. It's easy to write at least a short review when I'm not dealing with a backlog. A Leap in the Dark: A Criticism of the Principles of Home Rule as Illustrated by the Bill of 1893, by Albert Venn DiceyThe Annotated Alice:Alice's Adventrues in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll Illustrated by John Tenniel With an Introduction and Notes by Martin Garner The complte text and original illustrations in the only fully annotated edition Read : Often; Review: A brilliant book! The Violin Maker: Finding a Centuries-Old Tradition in a Brooklyn Workshop by John Marchese Years of Grace, by Margaret Ayer Barnes (read 31 May 1958) (Pulitzer Fiction prize for 1931) Respectfully, I think "centuries-old" is one word and I do not see that word in No. 249, myself Respectfully, you are entitled to think what you want, but the usage is a compound modifier construct which has been defined as "a group of two or more separate nouns or adjectives used to modify the meaning of another noun and generally hyphenated to avoid confusion." However, if it ruins your day enough to comment upon, I won't do it again. Have fun! Message edited by its author, Sep 26, 2008, 12:45pm.

Did not much care for the tetralogy, but is the only book that enables me to paly today Values in a Time of Upheaval by Pope Benedict XVII think this is an interesting book; and I agree with Schmerguls about Dance... I thought it was over-rated but read the quartet years ago... Message edited by its author, Sep 28, 2008, 8:37am.
