More copies of this ISBN:Between the Covers: The Book Babes' Guide to a Woman's Reading Pleasuresby Ellen Heltzel and Margo Hammond
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:With wit and wisdom, the bibliophile's Ebert & Roeper recommend more than 600 books based on what women care about most. Between the Covers is organized around their wide-ranging curiosity — about themselves, friends and family, the larger world — and their concerns, from health to sex to managing their finances. With such sections as "Babes We Love" (Role Models Real and Imagined), "The Babe Inside" (Focusing on Body and Soul), and "Love, Sex, and Second Chances," this unique collection of fiction and nonfiction reflects how women really read. Review:Booklist, 11/1/08 “Hammond and Heltzel offer their unique take on the genre…address[ing] issues that will appeal to women readers of any age, background, or frame of mind…Succinct, honest, and cannily in-tune, the Book Babes entertainingly deliver sure bets for good reads.”Library Journal Xpress Review, 10/22/08 “Will appeal to bluestockings of every ilk. The authors’ bibliophilia is infectious, and all readers will benefit from their expert advice.”

Deseret News, 11/23/08 “Don’t be fooled by the clever title. The volume is really a compilation of book recommendations on topics of interest to women—and it’s not a guide to romance novels.”

They'd be knowledgeable, and they'd be fun.”
