Curtis L Heuser
North Light Books, 2007
Beautiful book and home
This is a delilghtful and beautiful book for artists or those of us who appreciate others' talent. Curtis has created a labor of love first in his home and then in his book. I was fortunate enough to tour the finished product and it is truly gorgeous. I'm able to relive the experience by revisiting his book from time to time. This book is a winner on all counts.

The Glass Palace: A Novel 75 reviews
Amitav Ghosh
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2002
a sprawling historical novel set in colonial Asia
What a wonderful, wonderful novel!
Mr. Ghosh has concocted a deeply engaging, epic, tale chronicling the life of one character (and his extended family) against the backdrop of Burman, Malayan and Indian history over more that 100 years.
The novel clocks in at little over 600 pages yet it feels almost two short. In fact my only (albeit small) criticism is that at times the narration feels a ...

A Glass Act 3 reviews
Ron Morgan
Source Book Publishing, Half Full Press, 2007
A Glass Act
Ron Morgan is an amazing artist with flowers! I have seen him, in person, in a workshop and his talent and personality is reflected beautifully in this book. As extraordinary as these pictures are, you can see how easy it is to duplicate his work. This book is a true inspiration to anyone who would like to create extraordinary arrangements.

Tiffany Windows Stained Glass Pattern Book (Dover Pictorial Archive) 6 reviews
Connie Clough Eaton
Dover Publications, 1997
Some Reviews are Misleading
This book does contain Tiffany window designs which Tiffany created using Tiffany glass not modern glass. They reproduce very well when scanned. I use them in computer application of the designs. The book which has the postcards is "Tiffany Stained Glass Windows" by Alastair Duncan (ISBN: 0486253368)which I also bought. This book does have some colored images and when combined with the Duncan ...

Jane Haddam

Jane Haddam: Glass Houses
Jane Haddam does her usual remarkable job of mixing an excellent murder mystery with relevant social commentary (but without preaching). Well worth a read, as are all her books.

Julie Glass
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1998
A difficult classroom - One quiet moment
AS a new teacher in 6th grade mathematics classrooms with wildly varying ability levels, I look for varied ways to present materials. Some of the children don't know how many minutes are in an hour, some are ready for algebra now. This book is a great quick read to introduce the coordinate plane. The kids who are struggling are grateful for a moment to catch their collective breaths and learn ...

I See You Everywhere48 reviews
Random House Audio, 2008
Those who are looking for a page-turning narrative would be better served elsewhere
"We are as different as white chocolate and seaweed," considers one of the sisters at the center of Julia Glass's third work of fiction, I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE. Novels about sisters who are polar opposites, who often live life in tension with one another, are nothing new. Glass's talent, however, is to find perceptive moments of clarity within well-worn territory. Here she uses an episodic ...

Can I give more than 5 stars? Inventive and fresh debut.
There are a lot of incredibly sad things going on in Flora's world. For one thing her very name, Flora Segunda, refers to the fact that she is the second Flora born to her parents, the first being lost in the war when her and her father were taken hostage by the Huitzil soldiers.

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2003
Alcohol and I don't mix, but I still loved this book!
I'm doing research for a series of romance novels about a family of winemakers. My friend, Gwen, recommended this book since she knew I was a neophyte where wine is concerned. I'm so glad she did. I learned a lot about wine, how to choose a good one, why wine changes from the moment you uncork it to your last mouthful. I learned about the regions where grapes are grown, and why some grapes ...
