I liked reading the story and thought that it was interesting. I was able to follow along through-out the story and always new what was going on. It was fun to see how she would be able to keep Clover and not have to sell him. She have to come up with a way to stop her grandma from selling Clover. The story wasn't that long and didn't take forever to finish.
In the story, Nattie has a good luck lamb. His name is Clover. Nattie's grandma wants to sell Clover, because they need money for the winter. Grandma doesn't think that Clover's fur is any good. Nattie doesn't want her to sell her good-luck lamb, so she has to think of a way to keep him. If you read this story, you will find out what happened and if Nattie was able to keep Clover.

This book is more than just great pictures-of which there are many.It provides an excellent history lesson on the introduction of figural elements in Navajo weaving, including the stories behind the popular Yei, Yeibichais and sandpainting weavings. There are 170 full-color examples of weavings that illustrate this book, comprising one of the most difinitive surveys of pictorial weavings. The book is boken out into nine sections, such as "Birds, Flora, Fauna", and gives an imformative look at each style's evolution. The authors also reviews the impact Western civilization has had on weaving styles, including the introduction of trains, cars and buidlings. It has helped me date rugs in my own collection as well as those I've considered purchasing. It really is a "must buy" for rug enthusiasts.

If I had to limit my reference library to one book, this would be the one. From scribing a waterline to rigging hammock netting on the bulwarks, it gives the modeler the information he needs.

Gifted writer, this guy!

Knows his stuff, too! (You can always tell someone knows what they're talking about, because they're able to make you understand it too!) This book did what numerous classes never did.

This is not a guide to technique, it is more of a reference book. This newly updated and expanded version also includes the latest international tournaments and elebrated names as well as new championship courses.

I'll let you guess who's picture is on the first page.

The Contents Include:

The Early Game
The Modern Game
Championship Courses of the World
The Hall of Fame
Records and Reference

If you love to snuggle up with a wonderful cookbook to read, buy this one! I've had this book for at least 10 years and I still pull it off the shelf to look at the wonderful illustrations by Tasha Tudor and read the interesting anecdotes. The book is divided into chapters, each reflecting a holiday or cherished event -- from Easter to New Year's Open House to Picnic by the River -- and opens with a short story on the family traditions so associated. I like it most because it is both modern and quaint at the same time. As for the recipes, I must admit I haven't tried very many...

I was terrified of just about everything after reading this book. Even the great Stephen King writes similarly to Lovecraft! Oh, and speaking of King, with that story "Crouch End"... YIKES! If you want to read this Stephen King story, it is now in Nightmares & Dreamscapes. Sweet dreams...

If you have a serious interest in John Northrop's Flying Wings, this is absolutely the best book available on the subject. Authors did a wonderful job pulling together photos, including many in color. The color photo section also includes some B-2 pictures.

But more important, the written narrative is excellent. The book covers Northrop's earliest days in aircraft design, and deals with all of his flying wing and tailless aircraft designs, especially the N-1, N-9, B-35, & B-49 projects.

Worth the money if you're a flying wing fan!

This book is wonderful, gentle and moving. The author truly loves what she does, and she loves the people whose pianos she tunes.
