The Grand Generation
Published in Hardcover by University of Washington Press (January, 1988)
Average review score:

beautiful folk art collection
This book is a collection of photographs and stories of multicultural hand crafts from a traveling Smithsonian exhibition. The tumbling block quilt on the front cover is only a teasing glimpse for what lies inside the book. The crafts are interspersed with photographs of the artists as well as the artist stories.

The book is especially interesting for the cultural history it hands down - there's beautiful crocheting, woodcarving, painting (among others) as well as telephone wire sculpture. The handmade objects alone are worth getting this book for, but the stories are detailed and make this a well-rounded book.

If you missed the exhibition "The Grand Generation: Memory, Mastery, Legacy", this book will give you a chance to experience it. If you experienced the exibition and want someway to convey the charm to other folks, this book can help you show how various artists make their crafts. I recommend this book highly.


Grand Illusions

And How Grand!
From the first image of Lillian Gish walking through the snow in "Way Down East" to Gloria Swanson's mad Norma Desmond poised for De Mille's close-up this luscious book is a definant must for any movie buff, student of film or photography.It has managed to capture in movie stills the granduer and awe of a time in filmdom that is no more. Accompanied by a most deverting preface by Hugo Leckey I cannot recomend it highly enough. As Norma D. says: "We had faces then" Indulge yourself and you'll agree!

It is the most beautiful B&W photography of movie scenes
It was my favorite of many many movie books I had, with some of the most breathtaking stills from some from well known movies as well as some of the lesser known. It is a must for movie buffs!


Grand Illusions: Paint Effects and Instant Decoration for Furniture, Fabric, Walls and Floors
Published in Hardcover by Trafalgar Square (June, 1997)
Authors: Nick Ronald, David Roberts, and David Downie
Average review score:

Simple, Stylish and Groovey
On first flick I thought Yeah Great! the stuff in this book really nice and I'd love to have most of it somewhere in my house...where can I buy them!! On second read I soon started to relise that producing great finishes on furniture, lamp shades, curtains, floors and walls is not as hard as it looks and even someone like ME can achieve it. This book is fantastically laid out with big colourful, basic pictures which take you through the procedures step by step from start to finished product. It's an excellent book if you want some great, and visually stunning effects around the house without needing a degree in interior or graphic design. There are even templates in the back if you want to use the patterns straight from the book. There are also many different colour samples if you're not to sure of what colours go well together. It's also great for making gifts too! If you like to dabble in a little bit of art and craft then this book should definately make it to your bookshelf.


Grand Jury
Published in Paperback by Ballantine Books (December, 1983)
Authors: Ron Liebman and Ronald S. Liebman
Average review score:

Real Life
Ron S. Liebman managed to live his life as a lawyer and remain human. Not an easy path to follow. Although he wouldn't want to admit it, his love of humanity comes through. I loved the book because I know so many lawyers who are wonderful people but with LLB behind there names, they somehow drift to level of used car salesmen. df PS Write more books Mr. Liebman!


A Grand Man
Published in Paperback by Time Warner Books UK (01 December, 1990)
Author: Catherine Cookson
Average review score:

Introducing the irrepressible Mary Ann Shaughnessy
Little Mary Ann and her family are poor and live in
Mulhattan's Hall. With strong, child-like belief in the
powers of her beloved Da and the Catholic Holy Family,
however, the child herself lifts the family out of poverty.

She accomplishes this by bullying and charming rich,
powerful Mr. Lord, into giving her occasionally-alcoholic
father a farm job which should keep him off the booze.

This a a strong novel about families. In view of recent
books describing family systems, Mary Ann is the young
Star of the family, her loyal, strong personality overshadows
her brother Michael. Her brother takes after their quieter
mother Lizzie, a rational woman who has fallen in love
with a sometimes irrational man. He loves his wife and
family but Mike just can't give up the booze whenever his
self-esteem takes a blow, or if things aren't going well.
Keen Mary Ann senses this, and time and again protects
and now we would say enables her drunk father. She won't
even say the word drunk, her Da gets "sick" occasionally.
Lizzie the mother and Michael the brother can't handle
Mike's drinking, but Mary Ann, so like her father, knows
just how to deal with his episodes, no matter how harsh
or embarrassing Mike becomes.

Parish priest Father Owen, knows all about these family
issues from young Mary Ann's Confessions, she poignantly
believes that the priest in the confessional is tempararily
blinded and can't know who he's talking to. This frees
up the priest to be Mary Ann's shoulder to cry on. Mary Ann
also gains comfort from kind-hearted neighbor Fanny McBride,
her father's only champion.

A sometimes heartbreaking look at father/daughter love, and
the first gem in the shining Shaughnessy series.
