More Assorted Books: The Best Of Spicy Outdoor Stories
.
Even though this is a collection of sexy stories from the 1928-1933 run of Spicy Outdoor Stories, anyone expecting actual sex or even sexy language is going to be mighty sad.
These are sexy stories from another time, when “sexy” could never have been used to describe them. Hence, the plethora of “spicy” pulps. The sexiest lines you’ll find in these 15 stories refer to “a glimpse of milky thigh” or “she was breathing heavily after outrunning the bear” or, sexiest line of all, “he could feel her bosom pressed against his chest”. Not exactly erotica.
On the other hand, as adventure stories, these are all pretty good. Go ahead and give these snapshots of a different time a read. Just don’t expect sex.

More Assorted Books: The Adventure Of The Green Dog
.
I am a sucker for Sherlock Holmes pastiches. My bookshelves hold dozens of them, some very good, many not good at all. The Adventure Of The Green Dog is one of the better ones.
Somebody is murdering influential Londoners and leaving a small wooden dog painted green on the bodies. Holmes and Watson are called in on the case and find that the victims all had things in common, including things the British government would rather not have revealed.
This is a cracking good yarn, with just the right amounts of action, mystery, humor and Holmes deductive work. Watson play a more serious and pivotal role than in most stories and there is a cameo by a certain person whose name I shall not reveal.
All in all, an book definitely worth buying.

More Assorted Books: Identifying Lizard People
.
Soruba the Mystical is one of the most traveled wizards in the Five Kingdoms. He has been all over the continent and learned a great deal. This book is a direct result of his fascination with anything reptilian.
This 100 page book covers an amazing 14 types of Lizard People. From the cold adapted Arkorry of northern Yusk, to the Rock Folk of the Red Desert, to the Nashdan of the tropics, Soruba details them all. His writing is very informative without being dry and his illustrations are very good indeed.
Those with an interest in Lizard People, or just an interesting read, should pick up this book.
