A great read! if you love the bay, love family life, and ever dreamed of stepping back in time, you will enjoy this book. From the struggles of life on a tiny bay island, to the interesting, real, characters who inhabit the town... it will make you dream of different (not simpler) times! I highly recommend!

I read this book some time ago, the text was so well written, so informative and joyful. It is a garden story, so hard to come by these days, full of laughter... "plants in bondage" we've all been there with delphiniums. A treasure of a story and a window into a Canadian West Coast Garden. Thanks Des.

This is an inspiring collection of great images with engaging tales taken from interviews with some of the world's leading designers, talking about their work.
The interviews get inside the design process and act as an inspirational guide on how leading creative minds answer their briefs and produce great work. The interviews also contain a variety of views of the state of British creativity.
Not all the designers are British. A fair number are from a variety of countries (The USA, China, Poland, for example) but have come to Britain (and London especially) because at the moment it's THE place to be for design creativity.
Products examined vary from the wobbly millennium bridge to cutlery design, from the high engineering of the Rolls Royce trent engine to the more instinctive of glasses, clothes and even pepper pots.
The writing is seductive and the photography wonderful.
A great book for any library, and a fascinating coffee table book. If you have an interest in design and how it works, and how it can be applied to your own life, home, or profession, I couldn't recommend this book more highly.

Having just spent 4 months cruising the Leeward and the Windward islands, I must say that I can't imagine doing so without Chris Doyle's cruising guides. They provide an amazing amount of detail on virtually every aspect of the islands; from anchorages to repairs to provisioning to customs. His maps and navigation sections prove invaluable.

The information in these guides are incredibly up to date considering the amount of change which is occurring in the islands. While Chris may be overly kind with his pen at times, you can always tell when he really likes or dislikes something. He is also very receptive to receiving corrections via e-mail.

All in all this is a must-have book for anyone thinking of cruising the Leewards.

Used this book extensively when we cruised the Caribbean and never had a reason to criticize any information. Entry and exit instructions were explict and correct. We did exactly as he recommended and had no problems. Direction for sailding from Cuba to Mexico were right on and tips about sailing down the Mexican coast were helpful. Belize info was great as was the info about Guatemala!

Ourstanding interpretation. Great fluidity. Wonderful writing style. Highly recommend!

I would give this book 10 stars if I could. This is an amazing wealth of history and information about one of my most favorite places on the planet. For anyone who loves Cumberland Island, as anyone who has ever visited there does, this is a must read.
This book reads well and has all of the "insider" information and juicy tidbits that you could possibly want. Buy it, read it.........you won't be sorry!

I'm sorry to see that the 1998 tide tables have slipped to 959,464th in sales rank. I'm sure this will improve as more and more people have an oportunity to read this fine book.

A great help for one of the best games ever created. Though, it does not help if you decide to play the "Mega Monkey" version of the game.

This book is yet one of my most favorites. The detailing of this fine writen book makes you actually not want to put it down once you start to read it. The movie is wonderful, but the book takes you to the next level that the movie leaves out.

So if you are a person who craves more detailing in an action and adventure, this is the book for you. No lie, you will not be disapointed. Take my word for it.
