Bring on the Guys



Maybe there's too much marketing dedicated to romance books and cozy mysteries, but at the Amherst Public Library we've got something for everyone.

Guys will want to check out the new Halo Encyclopedia, a collection of everything Halo brought to you by DK Publishing, the same folks that put together the Eyewitness books. Great for beginning and advanced players it's a must have for every library where gamers gather.


You've seen the settings so why not read the books? Three novels featuring the Halo war zone are featured in a series of novels. Halo: the fall of Reach, by Eric Nylund is a prequel the the game that gives you the set up for most of the combat senarios. Also check out Halo: First Strike and Halo: the Flood.


There's always an adventure brewing when Alex Rider is on the scene. The latest offering in this series by Anthony Horowitz relies on lots of high tech gadgets that add to the attraction of this Bond-a-rama character. Check out Crocodile Tears in the Young Adult Section.
