This is the most beautiful book that has ever been written. I cried as I read it. My tears over it's beauty and poetry could fill the ocean (probably the Indian Ocean, because the Atlantic might be too big of a stretch.) I foresee a Nobel Prize for literature in its future. Even the cover of this book makes me tremble with delight. The buxom beauty is drawn with such classical perfection that I sigh with pleasure as i look upon her lily-white breast. Her story is told with such passion, such fervor, my palms filled with sweat merely holding this sacred book. I plead with all the world to read this novel! Oh, beauty, thy name is Emily Donelson

This is the first book I have bought on the Pilates method - and it was a good choice. Emily Kelly covers both pilates techniques as well as practical advice on how to make pilates part of your life - and your exercise schedule. The phtographs and instructions are very clear and the feature I like best is the diagram of the muscle groups being worked with each exercise. Emily then puts everything together by giving her readers two sample programmes to work through - a long session and a short one. There are also exercises one can do at the office and as a warm up for aerobic forms of exercise. I thoroughly reccomend this book as one which delivers what ir promsises... a common sense approach to exercise and healthy living.... Emily, when is your second book coming out??

I had no idea what I was looking at when planning my wedding. This book gave wonderful description and pictures and guided me each step of the way!

I purchased this to serve as a guide for my first-ever party in my new-ish apartment. What a great resource!

Peggy Post's _Entertaining_ covered a lot of ground -- from serving a formal sit-down dinner in one's home to gracefully declining an invitation to a friend's barbeque. I especially enjoyed the incredibly helpful section on house guests. It discussed both how to properly *host* a house guest and how to *be* a sought-after house guest. (My mother was right. You should never to a host's house empty handed.)

Each tip or explanation is written in a clear, congenial way. Not once did I feel that Ms. Post was "talking down" to the reader. Rather, her tone was similar to that of a friend giving another friend sage advice.

Additionally, I liked how the book was organized, as it broke entertaining into a number of easy-to-follow categories including formal parties, casual cocktails, or impromptu get togethers. Therefore, I could easily pick and choose what I needed to read and save the other material for a later date.

I might suggest giving this book as a housewarming gift to a new home owner or as a wedding gift (attached to s place setting) for social newlyweds. They will surely appreciate the advice of this expert!

It's obvious that Peggy Post inherited many of her skills and zestiness from the famed Emily Post, etiquette guru.

This work covers almost every possible social event and the
required conduct. There are sample letters and a wide variety
of examples depicting possible combinations of events.
The book is a worthy investment for readers seeking to learn the
fine nuances associated with just about every social encounter.

This is a wonderful book, with exceptional illustrations, I would highly recommend this book to anyone from age 2-80! It might be hard to get a copy but beleive me it will be worth the effort.

A book with great suspense and good cliffhangers. Excellent use of diologue and terrific description of characters. One of the best books I've read for a while. "Emily Upham's Revenge" keeps you on the edge of your seat and I couldn't put it down.Emily Upham is sent to live with her uncle but her uncle never gets the letter annoucing her arrivle. Instead,Emily meets meets Seth Marple. Emily Upham and Seth Marple rob Emily's rich uncle to get the train fare to get to back to Emily's home in Boston. Many surprising twists with an excellent surprise ending.

The book by Claire Masurel is a book about a little girls first day of dancing school and the excitement and determiantion she has for the class. The story begins with Emily, the main character, and her mother taking her to ballet class. Emily is taking the class with other little girls who all seem to be enjoying themselves. At the end of an accomplished class, emily proudly shows her mother what she has learned and her mother expresses pure delight with Emily's performance. The book is intended for young girls between the ages of one and four and is written for pure entertainment. There are no morals or reasoning to the plot, just the adventure of the first day of dance class. The content of the book is very appropriate for young children. The book avoids stereotyping race by placing each of the characters as animated bunnies. However, the book is biased in the fact that it is intended for little girls, with no male presence prominent throughout the story. The illistration in the book is very eye catching for little children. the pictures are big and amimated with colorful objects. The font is very soothing for young readers with bold faced print. The illistrations take upon a reading of their own allowing the child to tell their own version of the story just by looking at the pictures. the language is told through the story without a presence of pattern of rhyme. The book is fast paced, taking the child to dance, teaching the lessons, and showing the accomplishments.

this is an address book and the illustrated pages are cool.a must buy for all emily's fan and all the dark angels out there
