Bartender's Black Book, 7th Edition: 2,700 New and Classic Recipes44 reviews
Stephen Kittredge Cunningham

The Wine Appreciation Guild, 2004

Informative book for amateurs
This is an informative book that is fairly easy to use. You can search based on what kind of alcohol you have, if you want frozen or mixed drinks, and then just look up the drink (they're all listed in alphabetical order, regardless of what type of drink it is). There are also suggestions on drinks and tipping bartenders. And there's a nice section about wines, too (although I'm not quite sure ...
  
  











  



  
Themes To Remember, Volume 114 reviews
Marjorie Kiel Persons

Classical Magic, 2000

Fun for all ages
I am a music teacher who works with students ages 3 through adult, both privately and in classrooms. I really appreciate both Volumes I and II for their clever lyrics, short lengths to engage even the most wiggly children, stories that can be presented as plays, and especially the CD that allows one to quickly find any track when under pressure! I have used the Four Seasons by Vivaldi in Volume ...
  
  











  



  
The art spirit: Notes, articles, fragments of letters and talks to students, bearing on the concept and ...20 reviews
Robert Henri

J.B. Lippincott, 1923

An Art Spirit for Everyone
The Art Spirit. Now there's a bold title. The implication is not only that there is such a specifically identifiable thing as an "art spirit", but also that the author, painter, and teacher, Robert Henri knows these specifics; a bold implication indeed. The difficulty (wherein lies the boldness) whenever one attaches the word spirit -or spiritual- to anything, there are, of course, as many ...

A gift for mind, body and soul
I just received this gem of a book as a Christmas gift and have not been able to put it down. This is an easy to read, superbly insightful volume with quick, accessible and practical chapters that should be in everyone's bookshelf right at eye level.

Unspeakable ShaXXXspeares: Queer theory and American kiddie culture32 reviews
Richard Burt

St. Martin's Press, 1999

On the Money
Whatever you think about Shakespeare, it is impossible not to agree with the points Burt makes in this book. His analysis is right on the money and you will never be able to look at Shakespearean movies or literature in the same way. A fantastic book and a must read.

Making Music for the Joy Of It11 reviews
Stephanie Judy

Tarcher, 1990

Life-changing for adult beginners AND veteran musicians
I've had this book for 10 years, and am just now reviewing it, partly because I feel that nothing I write will do it true justice. I do, however, want to add to the great comments here and to promote what Stephanie Judy has done. This book deserves about 5 million stars, if you ask me. Before I talk about my own musical experience, I want to say something to those who had bad early experiences ...
  
  











  



  
Essential Etiquette Fundamentals, Vol. 2: Wine Selection & Etiquette13 reviews
Mike Lininger

Yellowstone Publishing, 2007

Excellent Resource For Novice Wine Drinkers
Although drinking good wine isn't difficult, learning about wine can be. Once on a winery tour a vintner explained that there are 15,000 different choices that can be made from grape to bottle. Sometimes picking out a wine can seem daunting. Food Scholar's Wine Selection & Etiquette does a superior job of teaching those of us who would like to learn more without the information being overkill. ...

Icon: Art of the Wine Label12 reviews
Jeffrey Caldewey, Chuck House

Wine Appreciation Guild, 2003

Best of the Best!
ICON - the embodiment of spirit, matter, and time. In Einsteinian terms, ICON would be the equation that sums time, space, matter, and ideology. ICON is a tour de force, a signature piece representing the extensive body of work by two of the wine industries brightest stars, Jeffrey Caldeway and Chuck House, package designers. One once told me that the contents of a barrel, brown bag for a label, ...
