| 5. |  | Birdscapes: A Pop-Up Celebration of Bird Songs in Stereo Sound from Chronicle Books Price: $48.00 Customer Review: You've probably seen Chronicle Books' Bird Songs from Around the World book. It's the one that lets you type in a number of a bird to hear the bird's song or call. Their latest book, Birdscapes: A Pop-Up Celebration of Bird Songs in Stereo Sound, is a marvel of paper and sound. Each set of pages is... |

| 8. |  | NightWatch: A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe from Firefly Books Customer Review:  An absolutely wonderful book; however, the numerous printing imperfections encountered (odd smudges, smears, and stains) have significantly detracted from the reading experience. The book states that it was printed in China and it shows--really bad for a new book. Perhaps whoever printed... |

| 13. |  | Wild Animals I Have Known from Dover Publications Price: $9.95 Customer Review: Seton is pretty well known for his observations of crows. How many words they use, for instance, some are in the story. He watched this particular group of crows for many years, a task made easier because of Silverspot's silver spot. Silverspot's group could tell the difference between someone with... |

It is very well researched and I found myself... |

| 16. |  | A Splintered History of Wood: Belt Sander Races, Blind Woodworkers, and Baseball Bats from Collins Price: $16.47 Customer Review: This is a fabulous "fill-in" book.

You can start and finish however many little interesting stories you can cram in within the time allotted. I happen to be a carpenter and... |
