There's probably not much to be learned by anyone who's a pirate lore buff, but if you're an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129879281284 Sun, 15 Feb 2004 17:34:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129879281284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129865125508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author spidora - Harry Houdini put out this book to act as an exposure of frauds, crooks and con artists, and a remarkable percentage of his warnings still hold true today, making this both historical and practical. Recommended for Houdini fans and fraud buffs; as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129865125508 Sun, 15 Feb 2004 14:59:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129865125508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129864666756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author spidora - I picked this up on clearance and didn't expect much, but it's actually quite good. I can only imagine they stopped marketing this because Amazon wanted to get away from just being thought of for books. It's a book trivia game, but cleverly designed so... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129864666756 Sun, 15 Feb 2004 14:54:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129864666756?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129864208004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author spidora - Harry Houdini discusses many bizarre performers, from those still with us (fire eaters, sword swallowers) to those long gone (rock eaters, the man who cooked himself). If you're interested in strange talents, you'll enjoy this book. If you're merely a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129864208004 Sun, 15 Feb 2004 14:46:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129864208004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129863487108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author spidora - Any fan of Houdini or anyone interested in spiritualism will want this legendary book. Read what Houdini thought of the bogus spirit mediums of his day and first-hand accounts of his investigations. Like having a conversation with Houdini himself. A... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129863487108 Sun, 15 Feb 2004 14:40:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129863487108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129863224964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author spidora - This is an interesting book about the life and stunts of a guy who's done a lot of dangerous and crazy stunts and gotten in the Guinness Book of records. If you've ever wondered what makes such a person tick, you'll find out here. If you've wondered... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129863224964 Sun, 15 Feb 2004 14:33:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129863224964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129809354372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author spidora - The problem with this game is that after playing it a short time you can easily outsmart it. The main point is to guess from several choices of headlines which is a real story. The headlines come from a weird-news type news service and it doesn't take... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129809354372 Sat, 14 Feb 2004 23:13:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129809354372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129808305796?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author spidora - I stayed at this hotel and found the room, location, price and service first-rate. It exceeded my expectations. There aren't many available hotels which are centrally located in Scranton, but really no others are needed because this has it all.

They were friends, and later enemies, and this is a thorough study of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129807584900 Sat, 14 Feb 2004 22:47:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129807584900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129805094532?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author spidora - If you like to consider yourself well-informed, and you've never read Nexus, you're missing out. They cover the other side of any number of stories, from the dangers of Nutrasweet to the World Trade Organization. Not political, but very open to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129805094532 Sat, 14 Feb 2004 22:01:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129805094532?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_129802210948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author spidora - This is a nice book for anyone interested in Houdini. I've re-read it many times. Be aware that a good portion of it doesn't really relate directly to Houdini, and some of the the so-called secrets are (according to other Houdini scholars) based on the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~129802210948 Sat, 14 Feb 2004 21:17:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_129802210948?linkin_id=8003929
