The CURRENT World Almanac is a MUST HAVE!
The World Almanac is a one-of-a-kind book, with just about any information handy that one would need. It has lists of just about anything one can think of. I had an old edition, and I found that I needed a newer edition each couple of years just to keep current. Contains lots of information that you'd like to have but never even knew you wanted! It's good to keep a current copy of this book around for just when you need it.

La Salle's life is seldom discussed in detail by this type of book. THIS BOOK DOES IT THOUGH!
"La Salle" (not his name, but his title actually!) has always been an interest of mine since childhood. Thus, I automatically gravitate to books that cover his life and exploits. I liked this book because it is not a highly detailed tome NOR a highly simplified "kiddie" book. It is intended for children, that is certain, but children in Middle School, which makes it both a quick and easy read YET one that contains a lot of information omitted in other less detailed books. This is one of the few books on La Salle that covers ALL of his life and his exploits, NOT JUST those that occurred on the Texas coast, which is usually what one reads about. The book is easy to read YET informative and detailed enough for someone who just wants a complete yet quick overview of "what La Salle did". I knew a lot about La Salle already, BUT I learned some facts that I DIDN'T KNOW, and that alone made buying this book worthwhile. Don't be misled by the fact that this book is intended for Middle School students. It is factual enough to be enjoyed and appreciated even by adults who want a quick catchup on an overview of La Salle's life and adventures. I'm glad I bought it! When I am in Port Lavaca, Texas, I make a point to visit the nearby beach and view the monument that honors La Salle (his last ship, La Belle, was excavated from this very bay several years ago!). I honor him, too, as one always looking for something new. I lament the terrible end to his life, but his legacy lives on, and I am here in Texas todayo partly because HE was here before me.

Get the "Take" of Some American Players who sought success in Japan
I had originally bought this book several years ago...but misplaced it. I wanted it again! If you are old enough to remember the fringe players in major league baseball of the last 50 or so years, you'll like the stories of how some of them found fame and new lives in baseball in Japan. I am a statistics person, so I particularly enjoyed how the story of each "gaijin" (American player in Japan) is presented along with his stats relative to home runs, rbi's, MVP's won, etc. This book portrays very vividly, in those players' own words, how different Japanese baseball is and what it takes for an American player to succeed and, indeed, to survive in the world of Japanese Baseball. So, the book presents both the stats earned by each player AS WELL AS the player's own personal story and "take" on his experience overseas in a much different sports culture. Especially, I liked that the book gave a chronological history of baseball in Japan, with lists of teams which won league AND Japanese Series Championships. What did I dislike? Nothing, EXCEPT that I wish the book had included stories from even MORE gaijins who left the USA to find fame (but not a lot of fortune) that had eluded them in this country. From many viewpoints, I believe that you will enjoy this book. Reading it was time well spent.
