Collecting Vintage

This book will take you on a trip down memory lane. Remember those cards your mother saved when you were born? Collecting Vintage Children's Greeting Cards begins with those first baby cards and takes you from first birthdays to the teenage years. There are chapters on Christmas with Santa, Frosty, and Rudolph. You'll find cartoon characters, cowboys & Indians, dogs, cats, wild animals, and fairy tale and nursery rhyme cards, including boxed sets. There are cards by artists Charlot Byj, Marjorie Cooper, Angela, Mabel Lucie Attwell, and others. The book covers cards from the 1930s through the 1960s, with the main focus on the 40s and 50s. Included for each card is information on size, date, series, name of card, and current collector value. There are tips on where to find cards, what to look for, and how to care for your collection.

(Even If You Already Are)

Luck has nothing to do with it!

Of course you want to be Irish. Look what it did for Daniel Day-Lewis, Sinead, Maeve Binchy, Roddy Doyle, JFK, Seamus Heaney, Angela's Ashes, and all those Riverdancers. But until now, the secrets of how to be Irish have been hidden in a Celtic Twilight of blather and blarney.
nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;
Now this easy-to-read (with plenty o' pictures) handbook dares to tell you:

nbsp;nbsp;How to have an Irish name
nbsp;nbsp;How to talk, look, and act Irishnbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;
nbsp;nbsp;How to vote Irishnbsp;nbsp;
nbsp;nbsp;How to have thin skin, a terrible temper, and the gift of gab

Whether you're proudly Irish, anti-Irish, fallen-away Irish, or would-be Irish--that is to say, if you're a living, breathing human being--How to Be Irish is for you.

Learn (to your surprise) who's really Irish and who's only passing!nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;

Discover (to your astonishment) your own underground Irish roots!nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;

And brace yourself, Bridget, for the shocking (if brief) history of Irish-American sex!

Ireland's Influence on the English Language

Green English explores the origins and development of English in Ireland. It shows how Ireland has moulded English; how it has produced the second oldest world literature in the language; and how Irish emigrants, missionaries, teachers and writers have influenced English worldwide. It includes a dictionary of words that have resulted from this interaction.

A Parody for Adults

A coiffed and blustery pig has shoved his way into the White House! A cleverly worded and illustrated picture book, this is the adult parody of the beloved children’s cautionary tale, If You Give a Pig a Pancake. Watch in dismay as the presidential pig gets into trouble, binges on too much Fox News and fast food, and cavalierly threatens national security. If You Give a Pig the White House both lovingly caricatures the original children's book series and shows just what can happen when a greedy anti-hero tracks his hooves all over America.

"The wall paintings of ancient Thera are famous frescoes discovered by Spyridon Marinatos at the excavations of Akrotiri (Santorini). Excavated from 1967 to 1974, the wall paintings provide a crucial window into Santorini's history, depicting the early Aegean world as a highly developed society. Of all the findings unearthed at Akrotiri, these frescoes constitute the most significant contribution to present-day knowledge of Aegean art and culture. In their technique, style, and thematic content, the paintings are invaluable objects of study for archaeologists, art historians, zoologists, botanists, and chemists. Originally displayed on the walls of ancient Theran aristocratic estates, the paintings render ancient figures, customs and historical events."--Wikipedia.
