 A Christmas Carol by Charles
Dickens (audio recording) - this rendition of Dickens' classic story is based on
Patrick Stewart's critically acclaimed, one-man stage production that played to
sold-out audiences. Stewart, perhaps best known as Captain Picard of Star
Trek: The Next Generation and a member of the Royal Shakespeare company,
uses his incredible voice to play all roles, from Scrooge to Tiny Tim. I have
always enjoyed listening to Patrick Stewart, and this recording is one of my
favorites that I listen to with my family every holiday season. Abridged.
Running time: 110 minutes.
Cassette: #9324 $16.00 $9.99
Sale! Limited quantities.
CD: #3796 $14.95
"A low-tech audio Christmas card: no sound
effects, no gimmicks, just one of the great voices of the contemporary classical
stage, creating as vivid a cast of characters as Dickens imagines. The Royal
Shakespeare Company veteran...doesn't so much read the story as inhabit it with
infectious delight." - Entertainment Weekly
"Not only is Patrick Stewart wonderful, but this is surely one of the best
performances of A Christmas Carol ever recorded...By sheer energy and dramatic
skill, Stewart invests this story with not merely life, but freshness,
excitement and wonder." - The Washington Post

Eragon (Inheritance, Book One) by Christopher Paolini
When Eragon finds a polished blue stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky
discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the
winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon realizes he has
stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself. Overnight his simple
life is shattered, and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic,
and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for
guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain
and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can
Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire
may rest in his hands. . . .
Eragon is being made into a movie and will be out December 2006.

We do not sell items that are unusable. Our
scratch and dent items typically have a bent corner, a ding on the cover, some
slight scuffing, or maybe a damaged box. They are usually new items that were
damaged in shipping or while being hauled around to conferences and that have
just enough damage that we wouldn't feel right selling them at full price. We
have some pretty picky quality control technicians (Nancy and our kids), and in
many cases the "damage" is not visible unless you look at the item at just the
right angle.
Overstock items are new items that we have too

 Growing Up: It's a Girl Thing: Straight Talk about First Bras, First Periods,
and Your Changing Body by Mavis Jukes, illustrated by Debbie Tilley is a
handbook for any girl who's curious about puberty, periods, bras, tampons, and
pads, or even just her own body. It is full of tips, facts and advice. It
contains basic information, especially for girls who want to know what to expect
when their bodies start changing. This is for girls who haven't yet reached
puberty, girls who are beginning to go through puberty, or girls who want the
basic facts about growing up clarified.
She does talk about "the birds and the bees" but intercourse is defined as an
activity for adults and used to describe the reproductive organs. Sexual
activity in teenagers and birth control are not covered. I suggest a parent read
the book first to determine whether or not the author covers the material the
way you would like it presented to your daughter.

detailed. During the course of his adventures, as chronicled In The Hobbit,
Bilbo discovers a ring with special powers. In The Lord of the Rings his
nephew, Frodo, inherits the ring and sets forth on his own adventure. He learns
that the ring has the ability to control the world, and in order to save the
world from evil, many of the inhabitants of his world, "Middle Earth," must come
