Great Book with lots of great ideas. Also gives insight to the core principles of event planning.

This book not only is stuffed full of breathtaking pictures of unusual and creative parties of all kinds but it actually gives the reader instruction in creating concepts on ones own by following very simple formulas. Renny is a genius at what he does and a generous spirit to teach others what comes naturally for him. If you have a wedding or ever are in charge of any kind of event, this book is a worthy investment.

"Baby Loves" by Michael Lawrence and Adrian Reynolds is based on the premise that "baby" loves Mommy and Daddy more than anything else in the world except, breakfast; and baby loves breakfast more than anything else in the world, except. . .slippers. . . teddy. . .kitty, well you get the story. Bright colors, large type, and big two-page illustrations are a plus, especially when reading to more than one child at a time. The illustrations are colorful and comical, but with just enough detail that I am certain the authors wanted to entertain mommies and daddies as much as their little ones. The book is quick to read, and your children will quickly pick up the pattern as they follow along with what baby loves next. The best books have "sappy" endings and this one is no exception. One small aside, this book is bound with so-called "toddler-proof" pages, which should more accurately be called "nearly toddler-proof" pages.(nothing a little tape can't handle) Highly recommended for a keeper or a gift.

My twenty-month old really likes this book. She rapidlylearned all the words of the baby's loves (grandma, sunshine,bathtime, etc.) and happily calls them out as we turn the appropriate page. We really whiz through it -- it's a good book to have handy when you only have time for a quick one. The bold illustrations are great.

This book is a very good discertation on fly fishing for species other than trout. It covers warm water species, bass bluegill/sunfish, perch and crappie as well as other cool water species, like walleye and pike, and even includes catfish. The author covers each species in a seperate chapter. Covering items such as prefered habitat, spawning, water temperature, fishing methods, and fly recommendations. If you like to fly fish, but trout aren't readily available in your area, this book could give you some insight into fish you might not have considered as fly rod fish.

This book is a great place to start, or if you already have that is okay, in warmwater fly-fishing. The information is very helpful. A must for the angler who can't go to the trout stream every weekend and a local lake is much closer.

I read this book as a child and re-read it everytime I visited my grandmother's farm. It never fails to delight people of all ages in communicating the Christian based parables within it.
I was sorry to see that it is no longer in print. It is timeless.

Hooray! I read this book almost 40 years ago and I am so happy to see it again. It contains great parables that kids of all ages will be able to relate to and remember. The issues are timeless and parents would be well advised to read it to and with their children.

An excellent summary of the nuclear industry, operation of nuclear reactors, nuclear waste, and risk associated with nuclear power. Must read!

This is a very usefull and interesting book for everybody who wants to know up-to-date information in simple words about the place of nuclear energy in the modern society

John W Reynold's book 'Corn Invaders' is thoughtful and incisive. The hunter/hunted is an apt metaphoric approach to the philosophical questions of life and death. The book is mystical and magical--surrealistic enough for the reader to shift into the subliminal realm of real truths.

Reynold's hunter, Man-in-White, is bold, but brave; a cut above Everyman. He is a hero, who in the Age of Anti-Heroes, returns triumphant to assume his mythic/inspirational place in a conflicted society.

The book is a good one. It is provocative; of considerable content. I hope to read more books from this talented writer.

John W. Reynolds' book, The Corn Invaders, is a story that details human emotions, life struggles and triumphs, and confronting ones own demons. Reynolds' knowledge and detail of outdoor life convinces the reader that he is a near expert of the wildlife and plantlife of his home state Michigan. He has a strong command of the English language which makes for easy, yet exciting reading. The Corn Invaders is a triumph for this first time published author. I highly recommend this book. Curl up with it on a snowy evening and you can almost live the tale through the eyes, ears, and emotions of the "Man-In-White".

I read this as a schoolkid in India 30 years back and was entranced by his passionate defense of his clients. Even now the thrill of reading about Justice Leibowitz and the famous trials he participated in makes the Dershowitzs of the world like lilliputians. Like the Beatles it will remain timeless.

On the issue of April 1958 "Selection from the Reader's Digest" published a very important article (condensed from "THIS WEEK") by the well-known JUDGE SAMUEL LEIBOWITZ of the Brooklyn's Court of Assizes, whose title was (on the Italian edition) « Why has Italy the lowest rate of juvenile criminology ». I am trying to trace the original article in English, either that from "Selection from the Reader's Digest" or the original one from "THIS WEEK". Can you help me in some way? Said article concerns the American youth, the American family, and the American way of living, as compared to other nations'. You'll be very interested yourself for sure!

Debbie tells her story with great energy....just like she has in all aspects of her life.......you want to laugh and cry with her....she is honest about her life and those around her....you walk away feeling good........just like you do after you've seen her on stage......Bravo Debbie

I was not able to put this book down! It is so wonderfully entertaining, just like Debbie Reynolds herself! "My Life" is full of great Hollywood stories and focuses on one of the most interesting stories I've ever heard--Debbie's life story. It's funny and it brings you right in, as though Debbie is telling you the story, not just writing it. I HIGHLY recommend this stellar book, "Debbie:My Life."

Debbie brings you right into her life. You are there with her every step of the way. I have read the book and listened to the tapes several times and enjoy it each time.

i just listened to this audio book ......what a pure pleasure! debbie has a knack of drawing you vivid pictures ..with her words..of just how it is to live her life......the hours pass in no time as you listen to her story..of her life with her family, career, loves and losses...she is a joy to listen to......once again i say BRAVO DEBBIE.

An amazing look at the life of this incredible Christian woman! This book dives into the depths of her mind and her life. No secret or interesting fact is spared in this delightful biography. I recommend it to anyone interested in the life of this fascinating visionary.

Dorothy L. Sayers did more in her life than just create the aristocratic detective Lord Peter Wimsey. In addition to writing the Wimsey novels and short stories, she was one of the first female graduates of Oxford, a translator of Dante, a poet and a Christian apologist whose reputation at the time rivaled that of C.S. Lewis.

Her longtime friend, Barbara Reynolds, draws on her memories of the woman as well as her voluminous correspondence and has written a lively account of Sayers' life.

Those who admire the Wimsey novels will find their enjoyment heightened after reading this book. As I found in researching the "Annotating Dorothy L. Sayers"..., Sayers flooded her work with literary, historical and social references that represented the best of her education as well as her interests in the murderous and the macabre: Shakespeare, John Donne, Greek mythology, contemporary English music-hall acts, Gilbert & Sullivan, notorious 19th-century murders and snippets of classical Greek and Latin. To write "The Nine Tailors," which featured a church and its bell-ringers, Sayers spent two years studying campanology, and had to endure, she wrote, "incalculable hours spent in writing out sheets and sheets of changes, until I could do any method accurately in my head. Also, I had to visualize, from the pages of instructions to ringers, both what it looked like and what it felt like to handle a bell and to acquire rope-sight.'" After the novel was published, she thought she had been caught out on only three small technical errors, but did well enough to be asked to serve as vice-president of the Campanological Society of Great Britain.

But the books also contain much of Sayers herself. Obviously, Sayers' alter ego was expressed in the character of Harriet Vane, the mystery writer she put on trial for murder in "Strong Poison," who was romanced by Peter in "Gaudy Night," and who married him in "Busman's Honeymoon." But Sayers also drew on her life experiences and her interests. "Gaudy Night" reflected her experiences at Oxford, her desire to live the scholarly life and the importance of intellectual achievement, while the parsonage she vividly recreated in "The Nine Tailors" was drawn from her childhood memories, and the gentle churchly Rev. Thomas Venables was modeled on her parson father.

Christianity played a great role in Sayers' life from the start, and the success of the Wimsey novels enabled her to shelve the detective and turn to writing plays and books that expounded the doctrine of the Church of England in laymen's terms. In this, she was enormously successful, and even sparked a ruckus when one of her plays featured the disciples talking in modern slang, predating the uproar over "Jesus Christ Superstar" by three decades.

Reynolds also tells the story of the illegitimate child Sayers bore. While it would be easy to condemn her for turning the boy over to a cousin to raise, Reynolds also made clear that Sayers did it to protect her parents, who she thought would be terribly hurt by her misjudgment. Considering that she visited and paid for his upkeep and education, and told him the whole story when he was an adult, it seems to have been the best of all possible choices.

The pleasure of meeting Miss Sayers can only be increased by looking into her letters, which have been published in several volumes. From the first, Sayers seems to have been bright, precocious and determined to make her own way, and it's a pleasure to see in Reynolds' biography that she did so splendidly.
