This is a book about some of the books I love and some of the books I have written. It includes short excerpts of many books in my library with critical commentary (and I don't necessarily mean in the negative). This book puts me over the top at 100 books written and published, so it is appropriate that I prove my love of books and hit the century mark with this Book About Books.

This is a book about my career as a stand-up comedian and it is a book about stand-up comedy in general. It is 96,000 words long. I've been doing stand-up comedy since 1971 when I did my first show at Lowell Tech at the age of 16.

This is the 16-font edition of The Stand-Up Comedy Book.

This is my fourth in a series of Who's Whos, the others being Who's Who in World War Two, Who's Who in Russian History, and Who's Who in the Civil War. Who's Who in French History is 62,000 words long, in giant 16-font. I am student of French History, a free lance writer, and I am turning my notes and homework into a book, a student aid. I think you will find this informative and entertaining. It is ideal for beginners in French history studies. This is a very opinionated book, at times, and there is joke here and there.One penny out of every $100,000 in sales will be donated to the Foundation to Prevent Awareness.

This is a collection of excerpts about the Persian Gulf Region prior to Operation Desert Storm. There is a special focus on Soviet/Russian advances towards the Gulf Region. This is an academic work and is designed to create many a lively discussion, and, hopefully, a follow-up book called "Before and After: How American Interventions Have Changed the Dynamics of the Persian Gulf Region."

Football's Braveheart is the riveting life story of Dave Mackay, the fearless, skilled, heroic and barrel-chested left-half who was an icon for Spurs, Hearts, Derby and Scotland. Off the field, Dave was a humble, fair-minded, sociable man. On it, he was an out-and-out winner, a warrior and inspiration with consummate ball skills and intelligence. The heartbeat of Spurs' double-winning side of 1961, he came back after two broken legs to add to a glittering trophy collection started at Hearts. After his playing career, Mackay distinguished himself as a title-winning manager with Derby County. A legends' legend, he was lauded by George Best as the hardest and bravest opponent he ever faced. Fabled managers Bill Nicholson (Spurs) and Brian Clough (Derby) hailed him as their best signing, and other admirers included Jimmy Greaves, Denis Law and Sir Alex Ferguson. Author Mike Donovan has gained exclusive, first-hand insights from those who knew Mackay best to bring you the definitive story of a man who made an indelible mark on football.
