Graphic Standards Details: Openings

Wiley, 2005

Extremely Useful Details and Format
Graphic Standards should quickly produce more titles in this series. The details are clearly drawn and extremely useful in this format. You get full-color photo examples and comprehensive technical data attached to each system (inlcuding plans, 3D diagrams, etc). A fair comparison would be with the German publication 'Details' which is published monthly (and in larger volumes as well); except ...

Grove Press, 1994

An essential history of the century's most important theatre
A great book. It details one of the most important theater companies to ever come out of the United States. The stories are rich(as in the once in a lifetime story of the audience's response to Waiting for Lefty) and the background thoroughly researched. As a member of a young, struggling theater company it gave me inspiration and comfort the way great history should. I wish she would write ...

The Metropolitan Bakery Cookbook

Rodale Books, 2003

Recipes are guides not law
I have to respond given Ms. Bassoff's disappointment. Recipes are not to be followed exactly, they give an idea of what ingredients are used. Also, some of these recipes are the ones that were original versions of what is now sold. Beside the fact that I live a couple of blocks from the Rittenhouse Square Metropolitan and can actually buy the products there (or any of the other Philly ...

In this beautifully illustrated volume, bat specialist Rick A. Adams delves into bats' true nature and the roles these fascinating ...

Backyardigans Fan
We bought this when we could not find a single Backyardigans book in out Library, not one title. My five-year-old son wants to read it every night. It is a nice adaptation of our favorite series, bright and simple illustrations, our favorite characters, and as always, a great adventure. I like the price, too, a very affordable book.

Soundprints, 2004

A Nice Introductory Book About Foxes
This book is a nice account of a red fox family that lives behind a yellow house at Hickory Lane. It follows the family of foxes from the time when the kits are ready to play outside the den and discusses how in autumn they will leave their parents to survive on their own. This book is a nice change of pace from a mother fox story. Though it talks about the vixen caring for the kits, it focuses ...
