A must have for everyone interested in American Folk Art. Great color prints. Excellent essays.

This is an unbelievable price for a book so full of high-quality black-and-white and color plates. Not much text, but an excellent source of patterns for very appealing american folk-art motifs.

The Airlife's Classic Airliner series of books cover individual commercial aircraft types in an interesting, in-depth manner.

Each volume of this British series covers a unique commercial aircraft type from its design, production, entry into service, its usage by airlines, and in some cases eventual demise.

Each volume features plenty of color and black and white photographs of the subject aircraft along with a complete construction list (accurate to date of publication for aircraft types still being built).

Volume 2 covers the Lockheed Constellation series of aircraft ... including most, if not all of the many derivatives and provides an interesting look at the genesis of this long-range inter-continental piston airliner.

Although dozens (maybe scores or even hundreds)of books have been written about this most beautiful of propliners, this is a very worthy addition and one which all propliner buffs should buy.

The book is very well written, gives the full Connie story and is profusely illustrated with dozens of colour photos, most of which date from the 1940s and 1950s and a very large number of which I had never seen before.

Also, there is a full production list of Connies, with their fates-an invaluable reference source.

I did wonder, before buying this book, if I really needed yet another book about even so beautiful an aircraft, but by the time I finished reading this, I knew I had made a very worthwhile purchase-strongly recommended.

This would have saved me a headache or two. It gives the pronounciation from both sides of the language and gives extensive word usages throughout.

The New Velazquez Spanish and English Dictionary is the best bilingual dictionary I've ever used. It's richness, in depth presentation of nouns, adjectives and verbs, its selection of examples, local and common expresions, pronunciation, presentation and format, etc., they all make this dictionary to standout by itself among the rest. I strongly recommend it to anyone for business, college or home. This is a Mr. Bilingual Dictionary! The price at Amazon.com is fair. The value of the book its unlimited. Really a piece of jewelry!

Este diccionario, renovado y puesto al dia por Mariano Velazquez de la Cadena, quien fuera Profesor de Español en la Universidad de Columbia, es, a mi juicio, la obra mas sobresaliente en su categoria. Este es un diccionario sin par, con una increible y acertada riqueza de vocabulario contenida en una encuadernacion esmerada y cuidadosa. La calidad de sus paginas es excelente, y el hecho de ser el mas exhaustivo y avanzado trabajo de referencia que hasta nuestros dias yo haya visto, todo esto en conjunto, hacen de esta obra de referencia bilingue una obra fundamental y un verdadero clasico. Por lo demas, su precio es bastante razonable. Le invito a que lo compre y lleve a su casa, a su oficina, a cualquier sitio en que se vea precisado a buscar una palabra o una frase que la ejemplifique. No se arrepentira. Se lo aseguro!

John Campbell is to the Winchester Single-Shots as Frank Sellers is to the Sharps. This book, and its Volume II, are outstanding books about John Browning's first gun. It covers EVERYTHING you will ever want to know about this rifle, and then some. It is a must for anyone interested in the history of John Browning, Winchester and the famous Model 1885 Single-Shot Rifle. The book is FULL of pictures, diagrams and information about the 1885, including every modification and improvement this rifle went through during its long years in production. It also gives unbelievable details about every customized option or version that the rifle was ever made into. So if you are interested in the Winchester Single-Shot and its history, this book is the one, of two, to read.

This book has it all for the 1885 enthusiast, as well as for anyone who has an interest in John Browning, Winchester Repeating Arms, single shot rifles, and/or the beginnings of the modern gun industry here in America. Highly readable, with plenty of facts, figures, and illustrations. Well-edited, and excellent graphic presentation. A beautifully written, edited, and executed book, and one that you will read several times for the sheer enjoyment.

The quality of this book is a standard to which all others of its genre should be written to, but unfortunately too often aren't. I salute the author for a job truly well-done, and I unreservedly recommend this title to anyone who has even a remote interest in the subject matter; the cost of the book is money well-spent. The book is that good.

Volume 3 covers the genesis of modern commercial aviation ... the venerable Boeing 707 ... from its genesis as a military experiment to one of the most prolifically produced machines ever built ... one that easily shrunk the world and heralded the arrival of international tourism, commerce and travel.

Desperation can be the source of wisdom. I've known for a year that this fall I'll be teaching restoration and 18th century drama. Worse, I volunteered to do so. Worse yet, as of yesterday I had only 7 weeks left in which to pick a text of plays. And absolutely worst of all, while trying to look up restoration and 18th century texts on the Web, I found my own course staring me in the face: "English 232, Smith College, Gillian Kendall". Yikes! It was definitely time to find a text.

Nettleton saved me. I had been about to order a completely new edition of the plays (sample copy graciously sent to me by the publisher), albeit the edition was in many ways, well, let's say "not quite right for the course". Then I went to the library. Despite the recommendation of a friend -- a renowned 18th century expert -- I had been suspicious of Nettleton. The copyright on the edition I looked at was 17 years before I was born (sorry about the ageism, Mr. Nettleton). But the volume has everything. Lovely grandiose heroic drama (but not too much of it); Dryden's adaptation of Shakespeare's *Antony and Cleopatra*; five classic comedies of manners (the backbone of restoration drama), and a pleasant smorgasbord of the best of the 18th century.

I have a text. My students have a text. Life is good.

I liked all the relationships in this book. In addition to the romance, both people were dealing with their teenagers. A good mix of drama and humor, and nice to revisit the family from "Mail-Order Mix-Up." I'm looking forward to the next book in the series, "Man Behind the Badge."

I bought this book for my dad as a gift a few years back. This book covers the lengthy production run of the famous Model 12 shotgun. It covers, in detail, the various models and gauges of the gun. The pictures and drawings are excellent as is the year by year breakdown of the gun and it's improvements. If you're going to collect and/or shoot these guns, this is an excellent resource.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I've read all the "Winchester Brides" books. I'm glad that all the Winchester brother's have found wives. Charlie seemed to be such a great guy, one that you can't help falling in love with. He seems to have grown more mature since the "Mail-Order Mix Up" book. I liked him back then, too. I can't wait for the next book, about Adams daughter, and David, the two teenagers. Looks like that one will be a good one too.

This product line is fabulous. I use it myself and it has made co-parenting much easier, and helps to keep conflict at a minimum. The layout of the mom/dad pad specifically encourages parents to stick to child-related issues, concerns, and queries. I recommend this line of products to any parents who have a shred of desire to co-parent, if even the other parent does not wish to positively. Also appropriate for stepparents.
