(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Home: A Memoir of My Early Years
by
Julie Andrews
Brian Simcoe
, August 20, 2012
Oh Julie, my Julie! The delights and frights of your memoir were most exhilarating. In fact, in reading it, I was nearly transported back in time to that dusty and romantic world of vaudeville, the early days of Broadway, and the life of a young girl tossing about on the high seas of the theatre life, trying to find her bearings. Your humor made me laugh out loud. Your insight inspired me. Thanks for letting us take the journey with you.

Liberty & Tyranny A Conservative Manifesto
by
Mark R Levin
Brian Simcoe
, January 01, 2010
This book stands above all others of the past decade. Mark Levin succinctly and successfully communicates the foundational principles on which this country was established, principles which demand to be articulated to a new generation. The book is not too long to be overwhelming, yet covers every key issue that has relevance in today's political climate. Easy to read and easy to love, this volume should be read by everyone living, legally and illegally, in America today.

Rome & Jerusalem The Clash of Ancient Civilizations
by
Martin Goodman
Brian Simcoe
, July 02, 2009
Martin Goodman does a fantastic job of making history engaging and relatable for the modern reader. He provides just enough distance for you to see the big picture as it unfolds, while still zooming in for close-ups on certain key figures. Its a wonderful study on the connections between these two fascinating cultures; I honestly could not put it down!

United States of Arugula How We Became a Gourmet Nation
by
David Kamp
Brian Simcoe
, September 20, 2008
This book is an eye-opening, mouth-watering adventure. I applaud David Kamp for writing this book; its a journey of food that everyone should hear. From coast to coast, it was fascinating reading about the evolution of the American food scene that, at times, parallels other cultural transitions in this country as we strive to form our own perfect union. And David's arousing and humorous language had me page-turning to the very end. You will have so much more appreciation for what you eat after you read this book.
