Board and Table Games from Many CivilizationsThere are many authoritative books on card games and chess, but only a handful on the dozens of other games known to mankind. This excellent handbook by R. C. Bell is a basic reference to board and table games from around the world, and one of the two or three finest books ever written on the subject. Originally published in two volumes in the 1960's, it is now available for the first time in a corrected, one volume edition. Mr. Bell's encyclopedic

There are many authoritative books on card games and chess, but only a handful on the dozens of other games known to mankind. This excellent handbook by R. C. Bell is a basic reference to board and table games from around the world, and one of the two or three finest books ever written on the subject. Originally published in two volumes in the 1960's, it is now available for the first time in a corrected, one-volume edition.
Mr. Bell's encyclopedic work provides the rules and methods of play for 182 different games: Ma-jong, Hazard, Wei-ch'I (Go), backgammon, Wari, Continental draughts, Pachisi, Japanese chess, Bidou, Domino Loo, Cribbage, and many others. Volume one is divided into chapters devoted to race games, war games, games of position, Mancala games, dice games, and domino games; volume two follows the same arrangement and then proceeds to games with numbers, card games requiring boards, and games requiring manual dexterity. Additional information is furnished on making boards and pieces, and on gaming-counters.
Game players, toymakers, and historians of culture will welcome this guided tour of games from Egypt, Meso-America, the Orient, India, Persia, Rome, Africa, Victorian England, and many other societies. Over 300 illustrations, both photographs and line drawings, add an illuminating counterpoint to the text.

Great for Peach Fuzz, But Not as Sharp as I Expected
Size: #14R, Style: Pack of 20
I really liked that each dermaplaning blade is individually packaged, which helps keep them clean and sanitary until you’re ready to use them. As a hairstylist/barber who works with sharp tools every day, I did not feel like these blades were particularly sharp. That may actually be a positive for someone who is new to dermaplaning and wants something a little less aggressive. I used them on dry skin, but you can also use a facial oil for more glide. They did a nice job removing peach fuzz and left my skin feeling smooth afterward. Just be sure not to use them over active acne or irritated areas. While they worked well on facial hair, I didn’t notice much additional exfoliation from my first use. I’ll continue using them every couple of weeks and see how they perform over time. Overall, a decent option, especially for removing peach fuzz.

Insightful Guide to Healthier Communication!
Format: Paperback
Debra has done it again! This was a rich book that blended biblical truth and practical tools for real, everyday relationships. She writes with warmth and clarity and addresses hard situations without shaming or oversimplifying them. Each chapter ends with questions and exercises that helped me reflect on my own patterns as a spouse, parent, friend, and counselor-in-training. I can see this as being valuable both personally and professionally. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to grow in emotional awareness, communication, and ultimately love their people well!

Insightful, Honest, and So Needed
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Debra has a beautiful way of speaking truth with both clarity and compassion. Every book I’ve read or listened to by her has been incredibly practical, insightful, and genuinely life-impacting for me, and People Skills is already proving to be the same. Reading (or listening) to Debra's books feels like sitting down with both a skilled counselor and a trusted friend. She doesn’t just offer theory, she offers tools. Honest, helpful, and immediately applicable. One of the ideas that really stood out to me is that relationships don’t run on intentions. They run on skills. We can mean well and still miss the mark. That reminder is both humbling and hopeful. This book challenges you to stop defending your intentions and start owning your impact. Then equips you with the skills to love better, communicate clearly, and strengthen the relationships that matter most. If you care about growing healthier, stronger relationships, this book is a gift. I’m already recommending it to friends, and it's one I know I’ll revisit.

A Timely and Transformational Guide to Meaningful Connection
Format: Paperback
In People Skills: Your Relationships Are Only as Strong as Your Skills, Debra Fileta delivers a powerful and practical roadmap for anyone who desires deeper, healthier, and more intentional relationships. In a world dominated by screens and surface-level interactions, this book is a much-needed wake-up call that reminds us: connection is not automatic—it’s cultivated. What makes this book stand out is its balance of spiritual wisdom and psychological insight. Fileta masterfully weaves together biblical truth with clinical expertise, offering 31 actionable skills that are not only easy to understand but immediately applicable. From learning how to truly listen, to navigating conflict with grace, to understanding attachment styles, each chapter feels like a personal coaching session designed to elevate your relational intelligence. This isn’t just theory—it’s transformation. Whether you’re a leader, pastor, entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to love people better, this book equips you with the tools to “own your impact” and become more intentional in every interaction. The emphasis on empathy, communication, and emotional awareness is both refreshing and necessary. One of the most powerful aspects of this book is its heart. It’s not just about improving relationships for success—it’s about becoming a vessel of God’s love in how you engage with others. That perspective shifts everything. If you’re serious about growing in your relationships—personally, professionally, or spiritually—this book is a must-read. It will challenge you, sharpen you, and ultimately help you become a more effective and compassionate communicator.
