1.		The World According to Bertie (Platinum Fiction Series) from Center Point Large Print Price: $33.95 Customer Review: I was happy to read this fourth installment in the 44 Scotland Street books. It was back to the form of the 1st book. VERY enjoyable!	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Miracle at Speedy Motors: The New Novel in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency) from Pantheon Price: $15.61 Customer Review: These books by McCall Smith are those that I read when the world gets me down. I love Mme Ramotswe, her ability to find the good in people and positive in situations. She loves her country (Botswana), her husband, and her children. As a "traditional" woman, she is unfettered by her bulk, enjoying... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday: An Isabel Dalhousie Novel from Pantheon Price: $16.29 Customer Review: I really love this series. This book, like the others, is a quick read with characters you have to love. I especially enjoy the way the main character's mind works. If you are looking for well-written, light reading, Smith's series is a winner.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Good Husband of Zebra Drive (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency) from Anchor Price: $10.36 Customer Review: I had the pleasure of meeting the author this year at a talk at a local university and he is just as charming as you would think. Another great story from this super-creative guy!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency from Pantheon Price: $14.93 Customer Review: This book is not a typical "who murdered him/her" mystery. The first few chapters focus mainly on the heroine, how her agency got set up, and a bit about her country. The book then focuses on the local-flavor of crimes she solves by mainly using her wits. If you're a person who likes to learn about... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Blue Shoes and Happiness (No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Book 7) from Anchor Price: $10.36 Customer Review: Title notwithstanding, this series from Alexander McCall Smith doesn't make its living in the detective genre. Precious Ramotswe does indeed run the only ladies' detective agency in Botswana, but her investigations are incidental to the easy-going interactions of her daily life. We find... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		In the Company of Cheerful Ladies (No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency) from Anchor Price: $10.36 Customer Review: Sixth book in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series. Mma Ramotswe is dismayed to see the erosion of the traditional values of Botswana as modern life becomes more and more about material possessions. She does her best to set a good example, but falls short from time to time. Now married to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		44 Scotland Street from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Fascinating book; it's less a novel than a series of interconnecting short stories. The characters are all well drawn, and at first seem primarily to belong only because of the their connection with the address in the title-- 44 Scotland Street. But there's more going on here; and the author ties... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Careful Use of Compliments (Isabel Dalhousie Mysteries) from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: I was excited to read the next book in Isabel's series, and was far from disappointed. It was everything that previous books have led me to expect, and was a very pleasurable and quick read. I only wish it had picked up earlier in the story - it would have been interesting to hear more about... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Morality for Beautiful Girls (No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Book 3) from Anchor Price: $10.36 Customer Review: This book actually brought tears to my eyes in the closing pages. MFBG is an amazing book in a delightful series. Having read the first three books, I see why the first one burst onto the NY Times bestseller list. They are engrossing and a pleasure to read. The story of Precious Ramotswe is the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Love Over Scotland (44 Scotland Street) from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: OK... So now I'm up-to-date with all the 44 Scotland Street novels since I completed Love Over Scotland last night. Alexander McCall Smith weaves together the lives of the occupants at 44 Scotland Street with all their charm and quirkiness. The best part is I'm already on hold at the library for the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		The Full Cupboard of Life (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, Book 5) from Pantheon Price: $14.93 Customer Review: This novel has a texture and a fragrance that come directly from Botswana, from Africa. The plot is no plot at all. It is a big rich slice of the cake we call life seen through the critical eyes of a woman and tasted through her own tongue and mouth, a woman who sort of deconstructs and reconstruct... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Tears of the Giraffe (No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Book 2) from Anchor Price: $10.36 Customer Review: I'd never heard of Alexander McCall Smith until a few months ago when a friend recommended The Ladies # 1 Detective Agency. After reading it and becoming intrigued with Precious Ramotswe and her life in Botswana, I was eager to read the next book and find out what happened to this clever lady... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		The Kalahari Typing School for Men (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, Book 4) from Anchor Price: $10.36 Customer Review: I adore these books. Because I love giraffes, a friend gave me Tears of the Giraffe as a gift. Thus I discovered the series, and have read every installment. The pace is so relaxing without dragging that they are perfect beach/mountain/vacation reads, or an afternoon treat on a rainy day. Love the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		The Sunday Philosophy Club (Isabel Dalhousie Mysteries) from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Dull and disappointing, especially after the very enjoyable "Ladies No. 1 Detectice Agency" series. It was hard to get into the story, and difficult to finish.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency 5-Book Boxed Set from Anchor Price: $41.42 Customer Review: This set of books is delightful. It is an easy, light read with charming characters and an interesting setting. The flaws of the characters are revealed with kindness and humour as they follow a story line unique to Africa. Get ready to drink lots of tea.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		The Right Attitude to Rain (An Isabel Dalhousie Mystery) from Anchor Books Price: $11.16 Customer Review: My favourite of the Isabel Dalhousie series, so far! What a treat! Just the right mix of thinking and relaxing prose. I love the warmth and goodness and common sense that emmanate from McCall Smith's prose. It just feels so good, so cozy. These are books to keep us good company, anytime, anywhere,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Espresso Tales from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: One of the things I most admire about Alexander McCall Smith is his ability to show his readers exactly who his characters are, and to do it so convincingly. This demonstrates no small degree of talent. This talent is enhanced by McCall Smith's real working knowledge of the worlds in which he,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Friends, Lovers, Chocolate (Isabel Dalhousie Mysteries) from Anchor Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Book arrival was as promised, and in the condition as stated. I was pleased with my choice of purchase.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Portuguese Irregular Verbs from Anchor Price: $9.56 Customer Review: Alexander McCall Smith , author of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, shifts away from the mystery genre with his series of short novels featuring Professor Dr. Von Igelfeld, the first of which is Portuguese Irregular Verbs, named after the main character's academic magnum opus. A series of light... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
