Heirloom Machine Quilting, 4th Edition: Comprehensive Guide to Hand-Quilting Effects Using Your Sewing Machine

33 reviews
Harriet Hargrave

C&T Publishing, 2004

The remedy to "Quilt as desired"
I took the third edition of this book out of the library a few years ago, when I was trying to teach myself to expand beyond quilt-in-the-ditch and random meandering around on a quilt top. I learned quite a bit from the third edition before the library demanded that I return their book (Well! the NERVE!). But the fourth edition is a whole 'nother level of instruction, and it's a winner. I ...

The Way of Kata: A Comprehensive Guide for Deciphering Martial Applications

32 reviews
Lawrence A. Kane, Kris Wilder

YMAA Publication Center, 2005

Superb
This book is an excellent source of information for the Goju Ryu practitioner. I would venture to say that all karateka would benefit from reading Kane and Wilder's book, regardless of martial arts style. The authors did a tremendous job of (if nothing else) forcing the reader to think about the various possibilities existing within kata versus simply practicing the kata at "face value". While ...

Every cook should own this
For the past 4-5 years I've been trying to learn how to cook and of all the cooking books I have, this is one that is ALWAYS stuck between my desk and my kitchen for easy grabbing. No other book as been as handy as this, with the exception of my substitution book that sits right next to it. It's also a great idea to include this in start kits for new cooks. Anytime one of my friends asks me ...

Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide

Pamela Miles

Tarcher, 2006

Perfect Guide
After I took my first and second degree Reiki. I felt overloaded with information. I was having a bit of self-doubt during my daily practice and wanted some additional support. I went to the bookstore and was disappointed by the amount of books that claim to be able to teach reiki in a book. I was looking for guidance, not learning symbols and attuements from a book. Then I came across ...

Solution Selling: Creating Buyers in Difficult Selling Markets

41 reviews
Michael Bosworth

McGraw-Hill, 1994

Savvy guide to business-to-business selling
Instead of focusing on a prospective buyer, many salespeople spout lists of their product's or service's features and benefits. Does the buyer have a problem that these advantages solve? Maybe. The salesperson doesn't know or care. He or she "sprays and prays," hoping one of the product's bells and whistles will engage the buyer - who just wants the conversation to stop. Sales trainer Michael T. ...

Lawrence Kane, Kris Wilder

YMAA Publication Center, 2007

A must-own book for any martial artist, no matter his/her experience level (or lack thereof).
Kane and Wilder have designed this book to be a roadmap to help guide a martial artist's journey from beginner to black belt. And in this role, it is an unqualified success. Devoting entire chapters to finding a good instructor, learning styles, strategy and tactics, avoiding and recovering from injury, and using technology to enhance learning, this book should be required reading for anyone ...

Watson-Guptill, 1997

Brilliant Book on Ink Work
Having started to draw in pencil since 1944 and started ink drawing on my own during the WWII years when there were virtually no books on art available I struggled on my own and eventually developed a style of my own with many pen and ink drawings to my name and hanging in collections. I only wish I had this book available to me then. I found this book in our local library the other day and ...

Heirloom Machine Quilting: A Comprehensive Guide to Hand-Quilted Effects Using Your Sewing Machine

27 reviews
Harriet Hargrave

Watson-Guptill Publications, 1995

As good as all the other reviewers said it was.
From the outset, learning why some things are done this way rather than that, I wanted to gather and destroy the five quilts I've made because they don't even approach "good" quality (forget heirloom quality). Getting past that, there was really useful information that made completing the quilt I was currently working on much easier and showed why some of my earlier ones are in the shape they ...

A 'Core' NPC's Handbook
Moreso than anything else I have seen, this book underlines the value of the d20 licensing system, and expands in the most invaluable way upon the rudimentary description of the Expert NPC class in the current Dungeon Master's Guide. A must for serious DMs who want to incorporate interesting Craftsmen, Professionals, Academics, Entertainers, and Scholars into their games--and a good bet for ...

Delmar Thomson Learning, 2004

Excellent book for when you don't know anything.
I just started taking an Auto Collision class and do not know much about cars. I already had a book for my class, which contains the basics of suspension, steering and electrical, but this book has given me more knowledge about the rest of the car. It's very easy to read, contains good pictures, and mine came with access to the online learning website. If you're getting into the automotive field ...
