Tea with Jane Austen 13 reviews
Kim Wilson
Jones Books, 2004
Everything you ever wanted to know about tea!
This is a good history on tea. It explains lots of things I never knew before. I questioned the validity of a couple of stories in here, but that doesn't mean they're not true...just hard to imagine. It's small enough that it won't get tedious, but long enough that you actually learn some things.

ANOTHER ROADSIDE ATTRACTION74 reviews
Tom Robbins
Ballantine Books, 1972
Genius Robbins
My first Tom Robbins book was Skinny Legs and All, given to me by a friend. It was hard, at first, for me but then I caught on...
Now I'm addicted. ARA is my third read and a favorite. As expressed by others: "you want to read it again." His writing style is just genius. I plan to read all his books as I just don't think he could get old and boring!

This book was an excellent, step by step manual on how to rebuild any big block chevy engine. It was extremely helpful to me as i rebuilt my 454h.o. engine and also bored it .030 over. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is interested in engines, doing an engine rebuild currently, or anyone who likes mechanics! Just a fabulous manual! Go Chevy!

How to Rebuild Your Volkswagen air-Cooled Engine (All models, 1961 and up)24 reviews
Tom Wilson
HP Trade, 1987
Best VW Rebuild Book
I had to drop and rebuild my 1979 VW bus engine and this was the perfect book for that job. The pictures are a great companion to the written instructions. There was a lot of info I learned that helped me look for some parts and the photos showed those parts in great detail. Great book and hopefully I'll never have to pick it up again.

Engelbert Joins the Circus1 review
Tom Paxton
HarperCollins Publishers, 1997
Englebert Saves Face
This simple story is truly elevated by Wilson's rich, lively drawings. My children thoroughly enjoyed this book and were thrilled for visiting Englebert the elephant when he rose to the occasion and wowed the crowd after being stunned and bewildered by a unexpected circus spotlight. The jovial verse makes it especially appealing. An uplifting book, good for reading right before you turn out ...

Eating with the Victorians
The History Press, 2004
If we could be transported back some two hundred years to spend a day in the eighteenth century, one of the suprises for most people would be the difference in the timing and structure of meals. Luncheon had only recently become established when Victoria came to the throne, and her reign also saw the invention of the Great British Breakfast. Tea was added to Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management in 1880. The modern timetable for meals ...

Beautiful, thought-provoking book
Utah Then and Now is a wonderful look now only at the past, but at the possibilities for Utah's future. Tom Till's photographs are breathtaking. You can see his love of the Western landscape in the care with which he photographs it. Ted Wilson's commentary is both thoughtful and thought provoking. This is more than just a coffee table book.

Black Canyon4 reviews

Signet, 1999
BUY THIS BOOK NOW
Wow, I was very impress with Black Canyon. This is the first time I'd ever read one of his books and I must say that I'm very impressed. He reminds me of a cross between Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler (with a hint of Ian Fleming). That combination makes this thriller explosive. I can't wait to get my hands on his other books! I'm always happy when I find an author of this caliber (keep em ...
