WILLIAM BRIGHT was bright by name, but many thought he wasn't toobright by nature until William proved them all to be wrong. He was alittle slower than most of the other pupils at his school because itwas later learned that he was dyslexic and he had a bad stutter. Hewasn't very popular with the girls either, although he was consideredto be rather handsome ...He was also tall and he was dark, so what wasmissing you might ask. . . and probably the answer was that William wasvery shy and found it very difficult to converse and mix with youngpeople of his own age. William adored his father, but the father diedat an early age when William was only six and he wore his father'swedding ring around his neck until he was old enough to wear it on thefourth finger of the left hand, swearing he would never remove the ringuntil he found someone that he could love as he had loved his dad.William's mother wasn't interested in the boy and considered him to betoo stupid to do anything more than the job he got when he left schoolat the age of fifteen. She had interests of her own which would not benormally classed as motherly and she states that William started tostutter when his father died and believes it was a great shock to himwhich brought this about.

Farce Forward - Volume 1
Lambert, Merv

An ex-colleague, a school librarian, once told me, much to my surprise, that quite a lot of children came into the library at lunch-time to read plays, but that there were not so many available. I therefore offer this set of 5 plays partially to fill the gap, whether merely for reading or even for performing. They range from the first two fairly simple ones, 'The Vase' and 'Neighbours' to the more complicated such as' Aline's Dream' and 'Mr. Far West'. You may note some familiar themes, which I may deliberately or not have borrowed. Aline is definitely not Dorothy, although 'Little Red Robin Hood' and 'Little Horrors' echo some of the ideas in my straightforward stories in 'Colin the Librarian'. The plays may sometimes seem to have serious ideas, such as loyalty and betrayal, but generally they are tongue-in-cheek and intended as (hopefully) a bit of fun. My own favourites are the rather spare 'Pythonesque', and to my mind, especially 'The Haunted Bedroom' with its spooky ending. However, I humbly offer them for you (once again hopefully) to enjoy.

Finder
Finder
Woolf, Alex
¥19.52
Introducing Waldo Mars - former model, failed inventor, and the best finder east of Alpha Centauri, or at least Uxbridge. Waldo is impeded, rebuked and generally resented at every turn by his put-upon assistant, Rose Duvalle. And if he isn't fighting with Rose, he is having to indulge the delusions of his bizarre clientele. There's Reg, for example, who's mislaid his Tuesday. And Tom, who's mislaid himself. And Gerald, who's lost a little patch of his study - just a small, cube-shaped area, right in the middle... Where do these people come from, and what Waldo wouldn't give for a straightforward case from time to time! An amusing, intriguing and surreal set of mystery stories about a finder who frequently feels a little lost.

Belief & Emotion
Belief & Emotion
Hill, Tom
¥58.76
This book is about how your beliefs and the emotions linked to those beliefs have the power to make you happy or miserable. It is about the tremendous power of these two factors in your life, how you obtained them, why you keep them and how to alter them. It is a self help book with practical suggestions on how, by conscious thinking linked to feelings and emotions, you can change your sub conscious thought patterns and emotions and release your self from 'loop tape' thinking, negative feelings and behaviours. About twenty years ago I became ill and it was four or five years before I felt totally well again. Looking back it was the worst time if my life. My problem was what is today classed as anxiety: a dreadful illness brought on, I believe, by stress, poor nutrition, grief and the type of hectic life-style we all tend to subject ourselves to in today's society. This helped me to understand and formulate a plan that is outlined in this book. By understanding how events in your life affect 'the inner you' and by re-assessing your beliefs and the emotions linked to those beliefs you will gain the power to release yourself from negative and destructive patterns of thinking and behaviour. The only thing we can be sure of is 'change'. By using 'change' constructively on your beliefs and your emotions you can restore your inner power, your 'Chi'. This will help you to put 'the power to be happy' within your own control.

Complete Guide to Precision Reflexology 2nd Edition
Williamson, Jan
¥166.67
This edition provides a complete guide to precision reflexology, covering the basic techniques and knowledge and now includes a new chapter on the latest advanced techniques which have developed in recent years by the author. Redesigned into a user friendly format. Photos have been updated throughout. This text is appropriate for those practitioners already using this technique and for those who have yet to discover it. Precision Reflexology holds the same rationale as other forms of reflexology. It focuses on stimulating "e;reflex points"e; on the feet to maintain good health. Precision work connects to a person energetically, responds to the needs of each individual and aims to maintain natural balance. It does not rely on physical pressure but, at the same time, it can be powerful and effective. It can be taught in its own right or it can be adapted to enhance other forms of reflexology in post-graduate training. It provides an added dimension to a treatment and reflects an Eastern approach to healthcare. This book offers a step-by-step guide, with illustrations and charts for its application.
