Here, too, are many never-before published photographs from the collections of Isak Dinesen, her brother Thomas, and her great friend Denys Finch-Hatton, along with Peter Beard's superb photographic record of a world where--for perhaps the last time in history--true wilderness and true sophistication were one ("Very few matters," Isak Dinesen wrote Peter Beard shortly before her death. "could move me as deeply as your epitaph, or monument, over that Old Africa which was so dear to my heart. In your photographs I seem to receive a greeting from the fauna of the country").

The Best Supplements for Law School
Format: Paperback
These books are worth the money! I know law school books are expensive, but if you're struggling with a certain area of law, forget the price and buy Examples & Explanations. They all come with great practice essay questions and answers, as well as explain concepts in normal-people speak (unlike most law school casebooks).

Fantabulous!
This is a fantastic and true re-publication of a classic favorite. The illustrations are great (though I wish they were in color), and the type-font and whole format were designed to make this a timeless heirloom, to be passed down the generations. I also learned the correct names of two of the eight reindeer were "Dunder" (not "Donner") and "Blixem" (not "Blitzen"). It shows that Candlewick Press took pains to make sure that what they were republishing was true and accurate to Clement Clark Moore's original work. Note that the name of the illustrator (Matt Tavares) is prominently acknowledged on the cover, though Moore's name is only mentioned in "A Note from the Illustrator", probably owing to the fact that Moore first published his poem anonymously. Still, I'm surprised that "they" did not include Moore's name on the cover. If you are looking to acquire a good, faithful, accurate and wonderfully illustrated version of this classic for your shelves, to be pulled at Christmas-time for reading and re-reading, this would be as good a copy (or perhaps better) than any.
