I bought the book because it has one of the best sections on fire pit firing of homemade pottery that I have seen, complete with excellent photos, as well as step by step info and historical info. The section on Quilting - The Joy Of My Life - Auntie Arie Carpenter is extensive and even has templates you can copy and use for making your own quilts. There is also a wonderful section on the country store, which as I read it seemed to be a combination of pay with cash or goods, like eggs, crops etc. Very worth the expense and a book I will treasure.

The entire Fox Fire colledtion should be required reading for all people of this country. You would get a feel for where we came from and our heritage. The books show a deep respect for each other, God and country. Very good.

The author has translated the key French texts of the period into modern English (and thankfully removed some of the annoying flowery language of the time). Texts are grouped into chronological periods and each period has a lucid introduction summarizing the events of the period.
This book is intended for those who really want to DIG into the period.

If children's recordings were cars, the Hear We Go Kids book and tape series would be a fleet of Cadillacs: big, luxurious productions, tastefully appointed and sumptuously upholstered. Lyricist Brian Potter and composer Wayne Green exhibit some of the finest kids'songwriting found anywhere. Noted children's illustrators Kevin Hawkes and artist Rosekrans Hoffman serve up a feast for the eyes in the lyric books for Fun Stuff Holiday and Another New Day, respectively. A mix of lushly produced musical styles, including pop, country, and Celtic, further distinguishes this handsome, must-own collection.

I have just started RN school and this is the main book we use. It is very informative,easy to understand,comprehend and has excellent examples. I think every nursing school should have this book as a requirement

This book takes the reader into the beautiful world of Mexican culture through a sweet story and amazing illustrations. I read Ghost Wings to a first grade art class and they really enjoyed learning about Los Dias de los Muertos and how the little girl in the story participated in the festivities. The full page illustrations perfectly bring the poetic story to life. At the end of the book there are some interesting projects and ideas that can be done with children. There is also a helpful explaination section, full of details about the Day of the Dead holiday and Mexican culture. I think every children's library should have a copy of this book.

THE GILTED VESSEL is a beautiful book about an amazing woman and potter. Her life is more wonderful than any fiction and her pottery is exquisite. The only flaw is that it is too short; I want more.

I got this book out of the library yesterday and read it to my daughter. We both loved it. And to cap it off, the book ends with a lyrical listing of girls' names. My daughter, who has an unusual name, literally screamed with joy to see her name in a book for the first time. "I want to keep this book forever and ever," she told me so I am here on the site today buying her her own copy. Highly recommended. Julie.

Complete with brief, but detailed history and current uses for stations throughout the country, this tome is a must for any railfan to enjoys seeking out the train depots in cities along the path of his vacation route. Though by no means comprehensive (about 10 to 12 depots are listed for most states; Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio each have dozens, many of which are in excellent condition.), the book is nevertheless tremendously useful. In addition, one should consider Halberstadt & Halberstadt's "The American Train Depot & Roundhouse" and Ward's "Southern Railway Depots, Vol. 1 & 2. The out of print Alexander's "Down At The Depot" should be sought out as well
