I think that it would be very hard to classify this as a picture book. The text is truly tremendous and the accompanying illustrations were excellent.
I certainly look forward to collecting the books in this Time-Life series.

This is one of those rare books which explores both the micro and macro of the period. It discusses the major historical events of the time in great detail. But it also paints a picture of everyday life of the common man/woman. The information is abundant and accompanied with vivid graphical representations which aid in learning about this place and time in history.

A great review of some of the finest advertising ever created. A little DDB-centric, but that's to be expected, as they were hands-down the driving force behind the creative revolution. Absolutely worth buying, if you can find a copy at a reasonable price.

In the sixties and seventies, Doyle Dane Bernbach was the toast of New York advertising, revolutionizing the look, style, and standards of creative work. This is the best book about that golden period, and one of the better books about advertising, period.

I sincerely wish someone would reprint this work. It should be required reading for every advertising student - and every brand manager, for that matter.

I have been searching all over for this book!! We had this book as kids, but my mother got rid of it during one of our many moves. I was sooo excited to find it that I got 3 copies (one for me and one for each of my sisters) I love the fact that this baby bunny wants to grow up to be a daddy. There aren't too many books these days that give kids good role models. Buy this book!! The artwork alone is worth it!

This little golden book is a golden classic! The artwork was eyecandy to me as a child and I can't wait to introduce it to my 20 month old son! All through the book, bunny's family speculates as to what he will be when he grows up - will he be a fireman? a circus clown? a lion tamer? Only baby bunny knows and his choice is a heartwarmer. This is a particularly good one for daddy's and their little boys as bunny's true wish is to be a good daddy when he grows up. It's fun to give each family member a voice and it's hard not to get choked up at the end. I highly recommend this book for little ones from one to five!

My boys and I have read the book about six times since last night. One of them went to bed with it. The illustrations depict the content of the text with such warmth. The message of God's caring hand comes across so well with the words being taken directly from a paraphrased Bible. What could be more comforting than this? Wonderful! I will be buying more of these books.

I love this book!! The illustrations are fantastic and the story (Psalms 27)is beautifully written in language that my child understands. I hope Joel Anderson writes more books!

I've been a fan of Christopher Golden for a long time, every since I read his OF SAINTS AND SHADOWS, but with this Young Adult horror series, I have been hanging on his every word. (Which is funny for a 35 year old.) Each book has been better than the last and with this entry Golden outdoes himself... Jack ("The Giant Killer") Dwyer and his gang-- Courtney, Molly, Artie, Eden, and Bill-- find themselves drawn into a complex web of deceit and terror as Jasmine, the alpha of a huge pack of Prowlers in NY City, looks for revenge against the humans who murdered her lover, Owen Tanzer. By killing Jack-- who has become a kind of living legend, to his surprise-- Jasmine hopes to bring together all the Prowlers across the continent and overthrow humanity once and for all. In the process, however, her grand scheme lauches a war not only between humans and prowlers but pits prowlers against prowlers in a final battle for supremacy. When it's over, nobody will be the same... It's my understanding that this is the last of the series for the forseeable future and it comes as a huge disappointment. Rarely have I become so involved in a series of books and I'll miss all of the characters like old friends. Thanks for the ride, Mr. Golden, it's been a great one. I hope you'll let us revisit Jack and his friends again in the future. In the meantime, I'll continue to buy anything with your name on it!

Wild Things takes you on a joyride from start to finish. Jack and Molly travel to New York. Evil lurks in the city that doesn't sleep.

Though I adore all of the Prowlers books so far, this may very well be my favorite installment of the series. Again, Golden truly creates unique characters who come alive and fight scenes that leap off of the page at you. The book is fast-paced and keeps the readers on the edge of their seats. Jack and Molly learn a great deal more about Bill's past, meet up with his niece Olivia, and take their enemies on in an exciting climax.

Only Golden could blend the Ghostlands, dream sequences, truckers, the music industry and road trips in such a stunning form. His books never fail to please. The Prowlers series offers Hitchcock-like suspense, villains at every turn, smart and strong heroes that you root for, surprises galore and action sequences that kick tail.

Every woman who has ever been in love must read this book. It is very touching as you read each women's experience and attitude toward relationships with black men. There is something for everyone to relate to. A truly enlightening as well as informative book that captures the culture of "being black" and intertwines it with the many aspects of relationships that black women experience.

This book was simply amazing!!! To hear the voices of some of the most incredible and inspired writers in the nation was a delicious treat that evoked all sorts of emotions and thoughts. The range and delightful stories makes you think that you have somehow had an opportunity to eavesdrop at a "hen party" where the participants allow their truths to come forth. Thanks to the contributors. This is an important piece of literature which will inspire, educate, entertain and delight.

This book is one of the greatest WWI photo collections out at this moment. Having been to Rhinebeck, NY., and Shuttleworth in England just last yr I can verify that the photos are beyond any collection in one book thats out there. If you enjoy it half as much as I have it's a great buy.

This book is absolutely beautiful. It captures the beauty of aviation in a way that most people will never experience. A must for every aviation enthusiast.

Geza Szurovy has put together a very interesting and educational presentation of the private aircraft of the the Golden Age of Aviation. The book is compete with lots of high quality photos and very concise history behind the development of each aircraft and those who contributed to their development. I recommend this book to anyone interested in in general aviation and the technological advancements that enhanced the development of private aircraft.

Geza Szurovy, a pilot and photographer who is extremely knowledgeable on aviation and its history, has published many books and articles on various aspects of the subject.

Wings of Yesteryear, The Golden Age of Private Aircraft is the first book I've encountered that focuses on the history of aircraft as private transportation.

Szurovy chronicles the development of private aviation from the early Bleriots to the apogee of aircraft as individual and executive transport in the 1930s and 1940s with superb cabin class aircraft such as the Beechcraft Staggerwing, the Stinson Reliant, the Waco series, and the Howard DGAs. (This latter is an airplane that is often overlooked in aviation history books, but finally gets its due here as the roomy, luxurious, capable, and quite fast airplane it was. And continues to be for those lucky enough to own a restored one.)

The history covers the great sportsman aircraft such as the Monocoupes and continues on through the post-war era that began the popularization of private flying through the less luxurious, but more affordable, easier to fly airplanes like the Cubs, Champs, Ercoupes and Cessna 140s.

Szurovy's chronicle is richly photographed, exquisitely reproduced, and entertainingly written, with plenty of sprightly anecdotes to leaven the thoroughly researched facts.

Its perspective is such that Wings of Yesteryear does not often overlap other histories. And extensive photographs and commentary on restored examples of the great planes refreshes the story. A definite recommendation for the library of anyone who loves the great vintage private aircraft.

Another classic from Margaret Wise Brown. Captures the wonderful essence of childhood that so many contemporary children's authors miss again and again. The illustrations are still fresh even though it was originally printed in 1950. The story is an uncommon blend of whimsey, fantasy and the unexpected. And...no one can make a movie out of it! Simplicity at its sparkling best. Buy one for every child you know.

This was one of my favorite books when I was little, and I started reading the same copy of The Wonderful House to my little boy when he was just over a year old. It is still one of his very favorites at the ripe old age of 3. He of course has it memorized word for word. The illustrations are fantastic. Our copy is just about to be retired from use, how wonderful we can purchase a new one! It tells of many creatures and where they live. "Who lives here?" is on almost every spread, then the answer follows on the next page. The magical wonderful house appears and everyone tries to guess who lives there.

This book was great for info about the days gone by! If ever you wondered how they dealt with things then, this is perfect. I especially liked it because it took place where I live, Oroville California. ( a very small town.... )

This is abook well worth reading. It is about how life 100 years ago in small California town affected a girl who grew up from 1896-1914 when she left home to attend the University of California, Berkeley to major in science. Phoebe Westwood was a second generation Californian. Her family were basically English/Scottish.

The author talks about various subjects, food, work week for women, health, femanine hygiene, education, and much more.

In this book the voice of the young girl is never lost.

Yesteryear's Child is now on the suggested reading list for California schools in California History.

A must read for anyone interested in a woman's point of view about life 100 years ago.
