ACTA Book Sampler

What else do you buy that you can’t take for a test drive, walk through, try out, try on, taste, or watch a coming attraction first? Why should a book be any different? So here is a copy of excerpts from eight recent new titles from ACTA Publications (which acronym stands for “A Commitment To All”). Take a look, browse through, stop and savor, hand to someone else, and maybe—just maybe—buy a copy of one or more of these titles for yourself and/or a friend from either your favorite bookseller or by calling 800-397-2282. (That phone will be answered by a real person, who will always make sure you get what you want and/or what you need.) Here are the eight compelling books excerpted in this Sampler, in the order in which they appear here:
