Accessories for the Librarian
I had been wanting for some time to break out of the dowdy Librarian mode. I decided to start my transformation with a book on the basics on accessories and Accessories (Chic Simple) fit the bill perfectly. It has wonderful pictures which enhance the copy making it more understandable and interesting. It also has information about where to purchase every item in the book and how to maintain the ...

Five young, orphaned monks specializes in a different style of kung-fu reflecting his personality
Book 2 of Jeff Stone's 'Five Ancestors' series, Monkey really deserves a reading of Book 1 for a smooth transition - and be aware, this is a projected seven-book series - but the action- packed martial-arts story set in 17th century China will win fans wherever they begin. Five young, orphaned monks specializes in a different style of kung-fu reflecting his personality: here Malao faces his ...

Crane
An awesome book with the Crane (Hok). It has double the action of Snake, and there are many unexpected turns in the story. I can't wait for Dragon.

Fantastic primer and reference.
I still pull this book off the shelf every year to refresh. In fact, I'm on my second copy after wearing out the first. I highly recommend this book for high school and college graduates starting out. Most of us don't start with a lot of money to invest in clothing. I started out similarly to the book's suggestions. I've advanced considerably since then and this has been a great guide in growing ...

Great source for classic advice
I bought Chic Simple Women's Wardrobe when it first came out, and had reason to pull it out again when my wardrobe needed a complete overhaul due to weight loss. To my delight, the advice and the styles contained within are as fresh now as they were eight years ago. If you're looking for good, basic advice on how to build a classic wardrobe, you won't go wrong with the Chic Simple philosophy, and ...

I have enjoyed and employed this book since the eighties
This book is spot-on accurate. I grew up in an exclusive area full of well-to-do people and long-time "well-bred" families. The information in here may seem outdated at times but it is still the right info if you want to make it big-time. There are people and companies that still follow these styles. If you just want to do-alright or be happy in an average job, this book will make you shine ...

Powerful storytelling
What John Sandford does with Lucas Davenport in Minneapolis, Nick Stone does with his anti-hero in Haiti. I kept comparing the two, Max and Lucas. Max has more baggage than Lucas, but they share the same world-view. If a good book has an impact on its readers, then, this is a brilliant book. I immediately wanted to look up Haitian past and current history. Storytelling at its best...but not for ...

They all lived in a temple and learned new techniques and moves daily. There was a 6th brother named ...

WONDERFUL!
I read this book in less than a week, it's long enough for most readers, but I read fast. I love it because not only is it fun, it's funny, and if you pay attention you learn a few things, a little chinese, and kung fu moves. This has brought kung fu to my attention and now I'm taking classes. I suggest anybody who's reluctant about getting this book, just get it, it's got a lot of action, and ...

A timeless classic
A book written with this much emotion and character should be read by all ages. Along with all the other books in this captivating series, "Eagle" is truly a work of art. The knowledge behind everything in this book honestly reflects the dedication of the author. Through the author's writing style, I can clearly see the characters thoughts, appearances, and actions. Congratulations to Jeff Stone ...

Fashion challenged? You don't have to be...
This is a gorgeous book, organized by season with a sizable section for situation-specific outfits. This is the best ChicSimple women's book because it covers the areas that work, etc. cover, only now you get bonus material and only have to buy one book! Some have criticized it for showing designer clothing or a more formal look than we in the South wear. Well, you can't go to the department ...

Monkey (The Five Ancestors, Book 2)
Jeff Stone

Listening Library (Audio), 2005

The temple has been burned. Grandmaster is dead. The only five survivors have scattered like the wind. Alone. For the first time. No brothers, no mentors, no teachers–just eleven-year-old Malao, the “monkey,” all by himself in the woods. Malao loves to make jokes and fool around, but now the only home he has ever known is burning and his four surviving temple brothers have disappeared. Suddenly nothing seems as funny as it ...

Intelligient, insightful and indispensable.
As an interior designer I found Chic Simple to be one of the most important books in my library. Their information is inspirational, giving the reader an outline to color in with their own personal brush. The book is a unique approach to design and decorating.

a visual treat, with a focus on quality clothes
This book boasts the catchy, elegant chic simple layout, with fully accessorized outfits laid out against a white background. The focus is on classic (and expensive), quality clothing (cashmere twin sets, Chanel flats, $300 Hermes scarves)-- but you could copy the ideas using less expensive basics. The idea is to pare down your wardrobe to the essentials, accessorizing the essentials to look ...
