I'll Be Home for Christmas 1 review
House of White Birches, 2001
Nostalgic Christmas Stories
I'll be home for Christmas is a collection of Christmas stories celebrating the memories of people from the `good old days' 20's-30's-40's. Stories of simpler times with good friends and family make me wish I lived back then and had so many close friends and relatives! I particularly enjoyed hearing the stories about the food people ate on the farm (5 kinds of cake and pie! Yumm!) But also they ...

Good Old Days Presents Hometown Memories
House of White Birches, 1999
Remember when hometowns were a great place to be a kid? Some people say, "You can't go home again." But you can. You can wave to the iceman as you head off to the general store. You can go to the Saturday matinee, and then stop off at the drugstore for a soda. Take a stroll with us down those sidewalks again, and relive those warm Hometown Memories from the Good Old Days.

New Classicists: Ken Tate (New Classicists) 2 reviews

Images Publishing Dist A/C, 2006
Simply amazing
From the inside cover: "This book, the first of two volumes, showcases six stylistically different residential projects ranging from a 16th-century Italian villa on a Louisiana bayou to a Federal mountaintop home in Kentucky."
This is one of the best books I have ever seen. Several years ago I saw it and vol. 2 for sale in Hennesey and Ingalls. Unaware of Mr. Tate or his firm, I pulled the ...

Whiz-Bang Wonders from the Good Old Days1 review
House of White Birches, 2005
An absolute must have, must read if you love the "good old days!"
I am proud to admit that I am a member of a growing phenomenon I like to call "fans of the good old days." Anything and everything created during my childhood fits into that category--when things seemed simpler and somehow better. They may not have been, but since I'm also a fan of denial,I choose to believe that the years from the late 1940s through the '50s were a special time.

Good Old Days in the Kitchen (Good Ole Days)2 reviews
House of White Birches, 1999
Back to the Days of Yesteryear
I was fortunate enough to have a Mom who bought this book. She loaned it to me and told me I would not only LOVE it, but would not want to give it back. She was right!! It is unlike any cookbook I have ever seen. Although there are recipes in the book, the main focus is on the stories that accompany the recipes. They are heartwarming, thought provoking, and in the case of one story I think ...

The Best Years of Our Lives: The Good Old Days1 review
Ken Tate
House of White Birches, 2005
A wonderful stroll down memory lane
My familiarization with the magazine Good Old Days came through my mother. She read, enjoyed and saved copies for years. Through her, I became a fan of nostalgia. When Best of the Good Old Days arrived, I couldn't contain my excitement nor could I stop myself from sitting down and reading for several hours, sighing occasionally.
Best of the Good Old Days is 40 years of stories from the ...

Old Time Home Remedies (Good Ole Days)
House of White Birches
House of White Birches, 1998
From asafetida bags which warded off social contact as much as disease, to teas, tinctures and potions, we had them all back in the Good Old Days, along with those mysterious healers who could stop bleeding and make warts disappear. You'll be amazed at the home remedies brought to mind by these recollections of a time when the medicine show still made stops in small towns and the country doctor was paid in chickens and geese.

Did you ever notice that the more complex the world gets, the less sensible life gets? In a world filled with so many modern marvels, where is the common-sense wisdom of days gone by? These stories not only share that wisdom, but through heartwarming examples show how Country Wisdom was put into practice in the Good Old Days.

Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days1 review
House of White Birches, 2005
This is nostalgia at its best!
I don't know anyone who doesn't, at one time or another, think about or talk about 'the good old days.' It seems to be part of our nature, especially as we age, to recall bygone days with grand affection. It's another form of 'comfort food.'
Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days has almost two dozen stories celebrating and reminding us (and in some cases introducing us) about a time when life was ...

Que, 1996
Very good book to learn the key concepts of NT4
I used this book and also took instructor-led courses to prepare for the MCP exams. It helped me a lot in understanding the core concepts and the architecture of Windows NT4.0. Also the questions after each chapter were very similar to the real exams. However, there are two major weaknesees of this book. First, it covers very little on RAS Server which was heavily tested in the certification ...

Recollections of a Time Gone By
"The Old-Time Art of Thrift" is a series of people's warm recollections, usually one or two pages in length, of how they had to make do or do without in the first few decades of the 20th Century.
