Kiki Eldridge

Rockport Publishers, 2006

Must have for inspiration!!
I am in love with these rockport books! The 1000 series is an awesome source for inspiration. You can randomly flip through them and something will catch your eye and it starts your creative juices flowing. I would definitely say that these books should be in any design student's library. The 1000 Graphic Elements is the other one that I could not live without!

Bag the Elephant

Steve Kaplan

Workman Publishing Company, 2008

If you want to go hunting for big business revenue, this is the why and how guide to success.
It is obvious that Steve Kaplan really understands the processes and organizational support needed to not only land business with big accounts, but also to grow the account, sustain your business with them, and not have the big company become a liability to your other business. He shares all his information very clearly and simply, but never simplistically. There are even lots of cute pictures ...

Lulu.com, 2007

a good start
I bought this from her website with the cozy and a long spoon (the starter kit). This is a great start for learning to make good meals for your hike. I think you get a lot more out of using the book and the website together. (I also made her little baker which is shown on her site out of cheap aluminum cookie sheets and it works very well.) Her links on her website also get you resources to buy ...

Pam Allen, Ann Budd

Interweave Press, 2007

super cute and trendy
This book is full of super cute and trendy bag/purse projects. Out of all the knitting books dedicated to handbags, this by far is the best one I've found yet. I can sincerely say I like just about every single pattern. I made one of the bags for my best friend and she said she gets compliments all the time. One note: I'm in my twenties and think these are adorable. Granted if you are older or ...

Couldn't put it down!
I purchased this book for my 11 year old niece that had read the two previous books. She read this book in 4 days - while we were on an action packed ski vacation.

Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Story

24 reviews
Leonie Swann

Flying Dolphin Press, 2008

Oddly satisfying...
This is a delightful, strange, silly, poignant story of a flock of sheep who seek justice when they find the body of their shepherd with a spade in his chest. Don't think this is Animal Farm, or a Fairy Tale. It's comedy, it's reflective of society -- but it isn't satire or cynical. I was laughing out loud, yet there were moments of real depth. If you're looking for a light, worthy ...

Stephen King

Pocket, 1999

Brilliant
Until this year (2008), I had never read a Stephen King book, though I have watched many of the films based on his books. I recently listened to On Writing on CD in my car, during my commute to work. I simply loved it, it's outstanding. So I was ready for more King, this time fiction. I wanted a good ghost story, published more recently, and preferably, like On Writing, one that is read by ...

a Knitter's Dozen Bags
In this book you recieve complete instructions for making several different types of bags. There are bags for evening, weddings, carry-alls, and backpacks. I made 4 bags for Christmas gifts and since I came back from visiting I have plans to make at least 6 more bags from this book for gifts. The instructions are mostly clear and easy to follow, however one needs to pay attention to ...

Cat Getting Out of a Bag and Other Observations

29 reviews
Jeffrey Brown

Chronicle Books, 2007

A warm and funny book
I'm actually a dog person and not a cat person, but picked up this little book for my son's fiancee. We have been adopted by a cat, as has she, and ALL of this little book rang true. I was surprised, being a dog person, that it made me laugh out loud loads of times. I've since purchased three more copies for other cat people. Garfield it isn't; quirky, funny and observant it is.

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2002

Window of Opportunity
I was stuck in a government job for 13 years - budget restraints meant few if any raises over the years - but as a manager/director the responsibilities piled on. I read this book as and most importantly found it easy to apply! I looked at my skill sets using their tools, prioritized what was important to me and rated my risks. I took a job that was to last a year which lastest 3 and tripled ...

Teaching Statistics: A Bag of Tricks

2 reviews
Andrew Gelman, Deborah Nolan

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

Makes introductory statistics fun!
Introductory statistics is a course dreaded by many students, and even some teaching staff, and for good reason: many introductory statistics courses deal with examples that are distant from students' experience, and so students never care about the course material, and focus simply on surviving the course by memorizing formulas and definitions. Thus, it's all too easy for introductory ...

Making Vintage Bags: 20 Original Sewing Patterns for Vintage Bags and Purses

Emma Brennan

Guild of Master Craftsman, 2007

The book to have if you only have one
I have been making handbags and totes for years, and own many, many books and patterns on the subject, but I still learned new things from this book. It would be the one resource I would have if I could only have one. From the tools and techniques in this book, you could go on to make any kind of handbag. Curiously, I didn't buy this when it first came out because I don't like the looks of the ...

Bags with Style

Stephanie Kimura

Krause Publications, 2004

Bags With Style and Then Some
I purchased both "Bags With Style" and "Bags and Accessories With Style". I just have to say that the titles are an understatement. They should have been entitled "Bags of Elegance and Sumptuous Opulence", or something along those lines. I knew just by looking at the covers of these books that Ms. Kimura was an incredibly talented woman. However, I did not expect to find each and every page ...

Different, Fresh and New
This is a great book for bag makers who've been struggling to find innovative ideas which mirrors what the Japanese bags makers have accomplished. We need more books like this - in English. Thanks Sally!
