Wishlist Wednesday: Mr. Bybee's Bookstack

My boyfriend's back and he brought more books. Some of them look pretty damn good, so after nosing through the pile, I chatted him up about his most recent purchases:

1. The Real Deadwood - John Ames. "It compares the actual town and its characters to the HBO series. What was truth and what was fiction. According to this book, the show was about half-right."

2. Abraham Lincoln: A Photographic Story Of A Life -Tonya Lee Stone. "Maybe it's for kids, but it's got a lot of good information and pictures. It's an easy read. I like the way it's put together. And it wasn't expensive -- only about five bucks."

3. The Everything Pirates Book - Barb Karg and Arjean Spaite. "I had a couple of other pirate books, and this one looked better than those. Lots of good illustrations."

4. 882 1/2 Amazing Answers To Your Questions About The Titanic -Hugh Brewster and Laurie Coulter. "I have a lot of books about the Titanic, but I figured that with this many questions and answers, I'd run across some information about it that I'd never seen before."

5. The Most Notorious Crimes In American History - Time-Life Books. "I've always liked to read about these bad characters. This book has a lot of the more recent crimes in it. I like the way it's put together. Each crime is given a concise two or three-page section."
