Jan Brett Night Before Christmas
I LOVE Jan Brett's books! I buy them anytime I see them whether on sale, old ones on Amazon as remainders, or new.. They make great gifts. I have a backup of many to give to children, particularly my granddaughters. The illustrations in this one are so beautiful it is really a keepsake to save as well as enjoy. Give it as a gift and you will make some child very happy and a parent happy,too.

Club Sandwich: Goes Great With Chicken Soup : A Collection of Best-Loved Stories

Jess Moody

B&H Publishing Group, 1999

I'll Have Seconds
Club Sandwich is so good, you'll be asking for seconds. Jess Moody is a masterful storyteller with a message of faith, hope and humor. You can tell he's related to Will Rogers, Jr. because he got the "story-telling" gene that captures audiences with rememberances of the rich and famous and common folk. My husband and I have been reading Club Sandwich as a morning devotional and it's a wonderful ...

Lust for life: A novel of Vincent van Gogh (The Collector's library of the world's best-loved books)

Irving Stone

Franklin Library, 1980

Living for Lust
I should have read this biography sooner. I used to be in love with his paintings, and even fantasized that IF I were to travel back in time, I would've married him -- all this BEFORE I read this book. After I read it I found out that there was one such infatuated woman (Margot), and also a tragic unrequited love story that led him to religion and then to painting. Anyone who is creative will ...

Gary Barg

Capital Books, 2001

A Must-Read for all Caregivers!
It is about time that someone tackled the issues that caregivers face. It can often be a lonely and confusing time. I was a caregiver for my mother a few years ago and looked everywhere for a book like this. I needed something to walk me through all of the things I didn't understand. This a well-crafted, easy to read and understand book that all caregivers should read. I wish it had been ...

From here to eternity (The collector's library of the world's best-loved books)

59 reviews
James Jones

franklin library, 1978

It gradually earned my affection...
From Here to Eternity is a singular reading experience: gritty, raucous, desperate, raw and, yet, ultimately sublime. James Jones fields a superb cast of characters with which relatively few novels can compete. More than once, it reminded me of Catch 22 (without the intended absurdity) - Pianosa set down in a peaceful Hawaii just prior to Pearl Harbor. Distractingly, there are times when ...

The best of Saki (The Collector's library of the world's best-loved books)

6 reviews
Saki

franklin library, 1985

Darkly Humorous Revenge
Picador edition has wonderful, nicely written introduction that gives marvelous details of Saki's remarkable and short life, explaining well why his stories are usually so dark, and why he liked to take aim at stuffy old bats. Nearly all of Saki's short stories are about some character exacting revenge upon cruel or shallow members of the British upper class. His writing sometimes feels labored ...

It is rare to be able to find the lyrics to songs of the past; particularly if you are looking for songs by Berlin, Gershwin, Von Tilzer, Cohan, and so many of the song-writing giants of a bygone era. Most of the songs in this collection are pop standards, spirituals, folk songs, ragtime, and what-you-will. They are here with both their verses and chorus's. What a joy! What a blast from ...

Paul Duncan

Frommer, 1997

If you only buy one guide book for Italy, buy this one.
This was the most helpful guide book I used on what to do and see in Italy. The pictures were helpful, and the routes they suggested included wonderful places that I would have overlooked. It doesn't include where to eat/stay, but it's terrific on what to see while you're there.

An Extraordinary and Special Collection!
I truly love this book. It beautifully captures memories, heart and soul. There are touching photos, and a genuinely great collection of poetry best loved by Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, one of the few women I have admired my entire life.

British Automobile Association

Frommers, 2003

Thanks so much
I found this book, quite by accident, in my local bookstore. I was in the process of planning a trip through Connecticut late this summer. This book proved invaluable. Not only are the directions clear and precise, but the recommendations as to what to see along the drive are first-rate. I would recommend this book to anyone planning such a trip. It certainly helped make my trip through ...

It has five titles (The Color Kittens, Mister Dog, I Can Fly, Baby Farm Animals, The Jolly Barnyard, and The Happy Man and His Dump Truck) which are old favorites with some favorite author/illustrators, including Margaret Wise Brown and Garth Williams. The reason for buying the set AS a set, however, was the blank create-your-own ...

Favorite Brand Name Best-Loved Casseroles

7 reviews

Publications International, 2000

The BEST!!!
Ninety percent of our meals features one new recipe. So, speaking from vast experience, this is one of THE BEST cookbooks I've ever used. Always delicious, fairly easy, but never skimping on ingredients or instructions (as happens with some cookbooks). In fact, all the "Favorite Brand Name" books are good (at least, the ones printed by Publications International, Ltd.--I haven't tried the ...

Daily Strength for Daily Needs: An Illuminated Selection

Little Brown and Company, 1994

Can't keep a good book on the table!
Talk about not being able to keep a good book to yourself? This all began around 1980. I was browsing around the SPIRITUAL counter at the bookstore when this tiny yellow hardback book caught my attention. I flipped through it and went to that particular day's reading...and then I read the reading from the day before and then the day after. Each reading touched my heart and soul...I knew I ...
