The Bad Girl's Little Pink Book: Addresses

The Bad Girl's Little Pink Book: Addresses Review

See more picture

I'm going to go ahead and give this a positive review, despite the fact that I do not own it nor have I ever seen it... but I love the Bad Girl line. It reminds me of my Bad Girl days. I started with the Bad Girl's Guide to the Open Road... nothing like learning how to cook on your car and various uses for maxi pads. I purchased the Bad Girl calendar/day planner in 2004... and was having a lot of fun with it, until I got pregnant (unplanned) in late February. That ended my Bad Girl ways, and now they are but a memory... but this address book might be a nice place to keep track of old and new acquaintances... or at least give me an edge at playgroup.

A Dictionary of Epithets and Terms of Address

A Dictionary of Epithets and Terms of Address Review

See more picture

This book, while definitely slanted towards the eastern end of the Atlantic is still a valuable resource for explaining just what terms such as "pinhead" mean to non-native speakers. For Americans, it makes for enjoyable bathroom reading as well as a handy guide to the more obscure aspects of British vernacular.

The book's only shortcoming is its lack of depth concerning modern-day US slang. This first of its kind descriptive dictionary, a serious work of lexicography which will have wide popular appeal, deals as comprehensively as possible with the terms of address--names, words, terms of endearment and epithets--used in English around the world.

The Penguin Book of 20th-Century Speeches

The Penguin Book of 20th-Century Speeches Review

See more picture

This is a compilation of some very important speeches from the twentieth century, and some not so important ones. The author has chosen speeches mainly from the Western world, especially the United States and Great Britain. Most of the orators are men (need that be pointed out?:)) Naturally, this has the consequence that the result is a very incomplete picture. Bearing that in mind, however, there are some really good speeches here, and some very interesting. Reading this book is like reading a book on recent history.

Since these texts are authentic speeches, you actually get the feeling of being THERE. Reading some speeches really gave me an idea of how it made the listeners feel ... and sometimes, that was a rather creepy feeling. There are some really thought-provoking speeches in this book, such as one of my favourites: what will happen when we start use planes to bomb entire cities? The speech is called "The bomber will always get through" and the orator was Stanley Baldwin. Most of us are so young that we do not remember a world where wars were fought differently; when that option did not exist.

Each speech has a short introduction where the orator is placed in his or her context, and often, at the end, a few lines about what happened next. The speeches are chronologically arranged, not thematically. Whereas these introductions are of a high quality, they are not sufficient for a reader who is not rather well acquainted with the history of the Western world of the 20th century. If that is the case, I would recommend to read a general introduction first.

This book focuses clearly on political speeches, although there are exceptions. Students of political science will undoubtedly find it useful as a general companion book, but it is interesting for anyone who is interested in the recent political development. These speeches are not the only factors that have influenced that development, but orators often pick up current trends and issues, even before television.

I recommend this book with the caution that it does not give a full picture, it does not even aim to give a full picture and reading this book solely would give anyone a very strange idea about the history of the 20th century in the Western world. Read it with other books, and do not take this as THE truth ... it is a good and interesting read, provided you have a good portion of healthy criticism.

Customer Reviews

A biased selection of speeches - Jane Hope -
Amazing how some journalists like Brian MacArthur can so shamelessly abandon any pretence of objectivity even when compiling some data as straight forward as outstanding speeches. Thus in his 525 pages of speeches from leaders that span the world of the 20th Century, there isn't even one speech from any leaders of the Middle East and North Africa, such as Nasser, or of any of some of the outstanding orators which that region delegated to the UN, like Baroudy. By contrast of course the relatively obscure Zionist leaders Chaim Weizmann and Chaim Herzog are given more space than Winston Churchill and almost five times the space given to Charles de Gaulle. The same prejudice and inaccurate information can also be found in MacArthur's introductory remarks to some of the speeches. He states that Israel was created in 1946 when it is public knowledge that Israel was carved out of Arab Palestine in 1948 by expelling 800,000 Palestinians out of their homes and land.
It is not a credit to Penguin books to have published such a book containing some obvious distortions and fallacies.


The greatest speech of its era omitted!? - Reid Butler - South Korea
What kind of compendium of speeches can consider itself complete when it omits any mention of the following passage:

We shall go on to the end;
we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence
and growing strength in the air,
we shall defend our island,
whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills--we shall never surrender!

I purchased this book in 2001 and looked specifically for these lines by Winston Churchill,
and the speech was omitted.
No mention of it existed in the book.

On the other hand, the book includes numerous speeches
by British Labour leaders like Aneurin Bevan (?!)
and Neil Kinnock. Is that some kind of JOKE?!

Until that omission is corrected, this book must forever be considered an afterthought,
if not an outright insult.

Little Black Book of Addresses (Address Book)

Little Black Book of Addresses (Address Book) Review

See more picture

I purchased this for a newly-single friend of mine (half gag gift/half serious gift). It's a really nice 'Little Black Book', and the elastic to keep it shut is a nice touch. My chief complaint is with the two stickers on the book -- one on the front #which you can see in the item image# and a barcode sticker on the back. The book has kind of a nice matte finish to it, but when these stickers are removed there are sticker-shaped shiney spots left where they used to be. It's too bad they couldn't have used a less destructive glue, or just shrink-wrapped the book and stuck the stickers on that. For what it is, though, it's a great little book.

The Little Pink Book of Addresses (Address Book) (Little Pink Books) Review

this address book is quite amazing.


when i read the previous reviews and they expressed their dislike for the minuscule lines that left little to write in , i was a little skeptica , however , i liked the size , as i thought it would fit perfectly into my purse and could hold all of my many correspondence's addresses.

i was correct. as were the other reviewers.

it IS a bit tiny , however this does not take away any of it's positive features.

it has ample room for
addresses
phone numbers for cell phone numbers, work phone numbers AND home phone numbers
room for e~mail addresses
fax numbers
birthday
and 2 lines for notes.

now while this address book is tiny , i believe that anyone could easliy use this for keeping friends and family's numbers and addresses handy.

i would highly recomend this to anyone who was in need of an address book.
