I have a book that I completely enjoyed, but nobody has requested it yet. It's called "Fame: Aint it a B****" by AJ Benza. He used to be a reporter for E! channel. It is a behind-the-scenes account of his time among celebrities. It has a decadent tabloid theme, but I couldn't help but have fun reading it!

Great. I am looking for cool and unusual books myself. If it is still there, I will go get it.

The Popular Mechanics's Do-It-Yourself Encyclopedia set.   It is a set of twelve encyclopedias on almost any kind of handywork you can imagine. They are from the late '50's and contain information on how to make practically anything.  

I am offering a deal on the set. If you order eight of them of my shelf, I will send the other four free.

Actually, I have that set and it is really neat, especially if you live in an older house.

I think these are nifty and unusual.  They are Boy Scout books from the 1960s.

Electronics (Merit badge series ; no. 3279) http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/details/9780839532798-Electronics+Merit+badge+series+no+3279

Music and Bugling (Merit Badge Series) http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/details/9780839533368-Music+and+Bugling+Merit+Badge+Series

I also have A.J. Benza's book on my shelf but unlike Brandi, I didn't care for it. Two on my shelf that I thought were cool are:

Dream Factory by Janet Leigh (written a year or two before she died) (actress from Psycho).

Subversion of Trust by William Close (written by actress Glenn Close' father who is a rural doctor just like the character in his book)

Both are novels, and both are the only books in the system and I can't understand why they haven't been snatched up.

Huh, my books must have been cooler than I thought! (gone...)

I have a few interesting children's books:

 I Can Add (Lift-A-Flap)  ISBN-10: 0785382399

Night Sounds (Play the Sounds, Pull the Tabs) :: Frank Gallo, Lori Lohstoeter   ISBN-10: 1584760656

Practice Time: Addition & Subtraction :: Learning Playground ISBN-13: 140401

Sesame Street Fire Safety Station w/Audio Cassette :: Children's Television Workshop  ISBN-13: 139298

The Mystery of the Russian Ruby  This is a kids solve the mystery book, but many of the clues are hidden behind flaps in the book.  And it has a wheel at the back so once you've solved the first mystery, you can reset the story and solve a new one!  The story can be changed three times and maybe when you move back to the first one, you have forgotten it, and it's like a new story.

Thanks for the order Hurricane shoals!

I really think this is a neat book:

My Christmas fun book: In my own words, all about me :: Faye Deaton Brophy

A child or family can fill it out, sort of like moms in the 60s & 70s did baby books...places to put photos, and fill out what was done, but also with activities.

I also think these two are 'cool':

Bagelmania :: Mountain Lion Books

Let's Eat Out: How to Read Menus in Japanese :: P. Hinder

I just think they are unusual and interesting...and educational!

I have one called Sharing Christmas.  On the front cover it says, "Cherished memories and momentos from over 100 celebrated men and women all over the world".

Some of the people who contributed to this book are Steve Allen, Julie Andrews, George Burns, Johnny Cash, Placido Domingo....the list goes on and on.  I picked it up at a yard sale and it looks so interesting.

Wow, you guys!  Judging by  the lists above, nope I ain't got nothing cool or unusual!  Thanks for making me feel boring and stupid!

Now, Brat, you have a lot of good books on your shelf. I coonsidered at least 2 unusual and many cool.

Cool! I bagged the buzz & flutter and the Shower Book.

I have hardcover books from some of the 60's tv shows like Combat, Hawii five O, Garrisons Gorillas, Mission Impossible, and Star Trek. They are vintage books as they were from the 1960's come  check them out. Michele. I will do a deal if you PM me.

Well,  my other "cool and unusual" books got ordered, so i thought I'd bump this topic with a few more:

The Turn of the Screw and Daisy Miller  by Henry James - A little booklet containign the two short classics.  It is in good shape, but is 40 years old, and I had to post it without an ISBN.

Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel  by Scott Adams - A hilarious book about being a weasel in the workplace, with numerous funny anecdotes and comics to (literally) illustrate the points.  One of only two copies in the system.

Well Matt, I will order the Victorian one, I have a book I won't post called Victorian Conventions which I feel the same way about.

Claire

Well Matt, I will order the Victorian one, I have a book I won't post called Victorian Conventions which I feel the same way about.

 TAKEN   Thanks :)

This book would be great for a kids project.... includes book and accessories needed, brand new

Make Your Own Newspaper/an Illustrated 48-Page How-To Book Plus Five Big, Four-Page Newspapers That Kids Fill Up With Their Own News and Pictures
Author: Chris Harris, Ray Harris

This is a very odd book that I picked up at a church rummage sale.  And this really IS a book, honest.  It's not a joke!  Hopefully, it is the cure to "road rage"

Zen Driving :: K.T. Berger

You may well ask, what is Zen driving?  The Japanese word zen literally means meditation, and meditation means being fully aware, fully in touch with your surroundings.  When you are in a meditative state, you are in your natural self, your Buddha self - and you can do it while driving.

But why Zen driving?  The purpose of Zen Driving, the book, is to introduce you to your natural self, which is what remains when you still your mind and ignore your chattering ego.  When you do this, you gain confidence in your natural ability, and finally your are that ability. 

In this case, the ability is driving.  Zen Driving can make each driving experience enjoyable, whether it's a daily hour-long drive to work, or a ten-minute run to the local Safeway.  The frustrations of other drivers cutting you off or causing you to sit through two red lights because they're too timid to make a left turn on yellow will no longer make your blood pressure explode.  Zen Driving will teach you to look, simply observe without qualification, and then make your move.

Zen Driving is effortless, spontaneous, nondeliberate.  It is being one with the road.  And in turn, driving becomes a pathway to consciousness, an activity that clears the mind and soothes the soul, something to take with you all those other times when you're not behind the wheel.
