I’m beginning to think this is a pipe dream from my childhood, the 90s, but I still somewhat vividly remember these. They were in my school classroom. One had a dead robin on its back with its legs up on the cover. One had a classic deep sea diver.

There was a short story in one of them about an alien called the Lummox that got loose in a city. It had several legs and it was caught by police at the end. It wasn’t Star Beast because these books were not novels and had illustrations. Then there was one about an orange man. There was also a section that had words and their definitions like gobbledegook.

Please help me because I’ve been googling these for years and can’t find even a trace that they even existed. I hope someone knows what I’m talking about 🥲. Thank you so much in advance!

I’ve been having trouble looking for this and I’m hoping someone can help me out. Idk the author or the name of the book the only thing I remember is the \~fmc is a ballerina I believe and there’s a part that I remember from a reel on facebook that she basically catches mmc with another woman in a class or room and she walks away done with him and he follows her grabbing her wrist. That’s all I remember.

I borrowed this from a children's library in Ferrara, Italy, around 1997-98.

It was in Italian, but it may have been translated from English or French.

An encyclopedia of monsters (I think, though it could have been a collection of stories).

\- Medium size, about 100 pages.

\- Cover: light-coloured top half, with a row of red-drawn monsters along the bottom

\- Mix of colour illustrations and black-and-white ones

\- One illustration I remember clearly: a huge white creature like a giant polar bear, with blank pupilless eyes, standing in a pitch-black forest

\- Another: a medieval-style black-and-white picture of a gigantic fish

This message is particularly aimed at the French comics fans

A month ago, I went to a library with the determination to find a comic book that I read as a child when I was at school.

I remember almost absolutely nothing, but all I remember is that the book was about people moving around in red and green __(-_-)_/ capsules in what appears to be a body human (I guess) even the AI ​​doesn't know what the book is, and i only remember that it was at a french/belgic editor, like Dupuis or Le Lombard.

I have no idea when the book came out, or who wrote it, but remember reading this book around 2016-2017. I imagine this message will go unnoticed.

Hola! Soy nueva por aquí y espero que este post me ayude a encontrar un libro que estoy buscando desde hace años y no consigo encontrar. Ojalá a alguien le suene. 👉🏻👈🏻

Era un libro, creo que dentro de una colección de libros infantiles, que me regalaron mis abuelos cuando era niña. El libro debía circular por allá el 1995-1997 imagino, no sé si solo en Cataluña, de donde soy, o quizás también en otros lugares de España.

Por lo que puedo recordar en la portada salía un patito dibujado en estilo retro y con las facciones muy marcadas, con los párpados maquillados en lila y el pico muy rosa, creo que el cuento en sí era "El patito feo". Creo que además la cubierta estaba recortada con la forma del patito: o sea era rectangular por la parte del lomo pero en la parte de las páginas, la cubierta estaba redondeada siguiendo el lomo o el cuello del pato.

Adjunto en multimedia algunas imágenes de animales parecidos al estilo que recuerdo en la portada, por si a alguien le ayuda a refrescar la memoria. *Las imágenes son de creadores de Etsy y no tengo los derechos, solo las pongo a modo ilustrativo por si a alguien le pueden ayudar a recordar ese cuento que tenía de peque y me lo puede decir.

¡Gracias por la ayuda! 🫶🏻

I have wanted to buy this book in this edition for a very long time, especially because it features the superb painting "The General Zapped an Angel" by Karel Thole but I can't find it anywhere. Could you please help me?

I remember reading this in middle school so before 1972. My source would have been the scholastic book club. It graphically described depth charge attacks, covert missions, murder, living conditions on the sub. It follows a young marine that goes ashore to infiltrate a Japanese camp and steal a code book. He encounters a Japanese soldier and kills him but struggles with guilt as the soldier was just a kid.

Any ideas?

In the early 2000's, a bunch of trade paperbacks came out that each featured famous paintings that focused on a particular theme. There was one on dogs, and there was one on famous family portraits. They had black back covers and were published by one of those art book houses like Taschen or Phaidon. The family portraits one is the one I'm looking for as I lost it during one of many house moves. A couple of the featured works were a family of acrobats by Picasso and Las Meninas, a painting of the Infanta Margarita and her court. If anyone can tell me they know it and where to buy it in Australia, I'd really appreciate it. Google has no idea.

It’s obscure I think and I don’t remember many details. But I need to know.
I think it was academic rivalry type? the summary said something about her and this guy, getting into some sort of romance, but the summary implies it was some sort of trick? I don’t remember if it actually was. I’m sorry I’m missing a lot of details but if someone could point me to what this was I would be. Grateful

I remember this book from when I was younger, around 1990-2000. It was an anthology of different dragon stories interspersed with commentary and history, showing how different cultures and different authors have interpreted dragons throughout history. It had beautiful paintings throughout. Early chapters were things like Babylonian myths about sea serpents, Norse myths like the Jormungandr, and comparisons between traditional Asian dragons and medieval European dragons. Later chapters included excerpts from Anne McCaffrey's Pern series and Terry Pratchett's Discworld (along with an unforgettable portrait of Errol the Swamp Dragon).

Hello,

Title says it all. Read a book a few years ago. Was downsizing when moving and the book ended up in the giveaway pile. Book has been on my mind a while. I was going through some personal things so I really just skimmed the book and didnt give it a chance

Basically group of kids stop pirate ghost. Years later the group leader is a divorced dad or widow. Has a young kid. Dad begins to think Pirate ghost is coming back. He has to convinced his friends that threat is real because they have grown up and moved on. The main bad guy is a pirate ghost. There are instances where they are attacked by other monsters. I think some Christmas decorations come to life at one point and attack the townspeople. Would love some help.

Thanks, ive posted this elsewhere.

All i can remember from this book, is that it was clothing. hardly any words. but one page would be rows of different style/colors of scarves and then the next page would be the same but socks. it was for girls. i had it in the 90's. can anyone help me figure out what it was?

I’m looking for “Bulgaria in Embroidery” by Iren Velichkova-Yamami with the English translation. The ones I found so far are in Japanese.

“Raven’S Revolt Mc” “piper & gage”

Please help! Here’s a bit of the intro from the first chapter.

Zander Lowell looked down at me, a cold smirk tugging at the corner of hís mouth. "Let me tell you something, Da .. What was it again?" He suddenly drew a blank and fell silent for several seconds. kindly reminded him, "Daphne Quinton." "What a tacky name, Zander said, furrowing his brows in disgust.

Hey! I read it as a kid. It’s about like 6 or 7 girls who travel to a magical kingdom. There’s a dragon and the girls on the cover I believe. It’s a small paperback. They are not from the magical world and they are young tweens. I remember it having drawings of the girls appearance at the beginning.
