The Photographer's Guide to the Oregon Coast: Where to Find Perfect Shots and How to Take Them

6 reviews
David Middleton, Rod Barbee

Countryman Press, 2004

Shortcut
This book was amazingly specific in directions of how to best view an incredible scenery. It was great more for its direction of where to go, park, or stand than the photography tips. The author gave great detail such as tips for how to find the best parking lots, how to avoid the tourist packed spots, and how to find unmarked trails to find fantastic angles in isolation. We used it as our ...

Countryman Press, 2003

One Of The Experts On Lesser Known Gems!
Barbara McMartin is one of those few resident Adirondackers that has supplied the world with great information, anecdotes and history about lesser known trails in the Adirondacks. Keeping to the less over-run trails, the reader is treated to beautiful trails to remote mountaintops, caves, fire-towers, unique wetlands and historic sites. This newer edition is only slightly different (three more ...

not afraid to cook anymore
I wouldn't say I was an inexperienced cook . . . I'd say phobic. No, this might not be the cookbook for you if you're quite the gourmet and enjoy spending an hour or more in the kitchen to prepare a meal. But if you were never really taught how to cook and have spent most nights asking your partner, "Well, what do you want to do for dinner?" back and forth until someone orders delivery, then ...

Guide to Mindful Eating
I've been following this eating plan for a month now and am having a lot of personal success with it. I would recommend this book and this diet for anyone who is interested in eating better and losing a few (or a lot) of pounds. As someone who loves to cook and to eat, I need a plan that allows for flexibility and doesn't restrict any foods. The book contains a lot of tips for making life ...

Countryman, 2006

Actual EXPLANATIONS on how whole grains cook!
When I finished reading In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto , I was determined to eat whole grains baked without high-fructose corn syrup. My first try at whole wheat bread (whole wheat flour, yeast, salt, oil, water) was horrid -- dry, heavy, bitter -- and I almost gave up. Enter the King Arthur FLour Whole Grain Baking book. And it saved me! This cookbook is unique in that it explains ...

Countryman Press, 2003

My Baking Bible
I received this book as a gift this past Christmas, and it is by far the most-used cookbook I own. I have a special penchant for baking, but am only still learning (before this cookbook, I'd only ever really baked cookies). I can say, then, that this cookbook is excellent for the learning baker. This is the book I used to learn to bake bread (like their delicious and easy Vermont Maple ...

Photographing Yellowstone National Park: Where to Find the Perfect Shots and How to Take Them

Gustav W. Verderber

Countryman, 2007

Save time; take better vacation snapshots
Gustav Verderber was right on the money about everything in this book. If you only have a week to explore, save yourself some time and follow his instructions. He has mapped out when the rainbows appear on the falls, gives advice on where to photograph wildlife. Some of the trails he mentions in his book have since been closed due to erosion or wildlife management but if you talk with the Park ...

Just Fantastic
I'm a complete foodie, I live alone, visit the gym often and love to eat fresh foods. I've made over half the recipes in this book so far and have really just loved them all (I've done some tweaking for fun). They are quick to make, very healthy and incorporate all kinds of fresh and ethnic ingredients. I was very surprised by how much I use and love this cookbook (as I usually whip up random ...

The Essential EatingWell Cookbook: Good Carbs, Good Fats, Great Flavors

21 reviews

Countryman, 2006

Love it!
This is such a great cookbook. There are a few recipes that call for ingrediants that you have to get at a specialty store but most you can get at a normal supermarket. The recipes are full of flavor and easy to prepare for the most part. Just looking through the book I get excited about cooking!

A World of Dumplings: Filled Dumplings, Pockets & Little Pies from around the Globe

Brian Yarvin

Countryman, 2007

Excellent Book on Culinary Speciality. Buy It
`A World of Dumplings' by Brian Yarvin is exactly the kind of passionate treatment of a specialized culinary subject we like to find from `little presses' like `The Countryman Press' up to and including former upstart (and now giant) 10 Speed Press. Yarvin is neither a chef like Rick Bayless nor an established culinary journalist or writer such as Paula Wolfert or Claudia Roden. But Yarvin has ...

A Week in Vermont
About six months prior to my husband's and my trip to Vermont, I purchased Tree & Jennison's book and poured over its contents, intrigued by all that the New England state could offer these Texans. Because the authors had taken the time to visit the various locations noted in the book, I had no worries about the trip. Once in Vermont, I used the book as a bible, knowing what to expect in each ...

So much of heart disease is self-inflicted through destructive life style choices
So much of heart disease is self-inflicted through destructive life style choices such as poor diet, smoking, and lack of exercise. So it follows that through a proper diet, the avoidance of tobacco smoke, and a program of reasonable daily exercise the prospect of heart disease can be minimalized -- even for those with a family history of genetic predisposition to cardio-vascular problems. That ...

The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion: The Essential Cookie Cookbook

30 reviews

Countryman Press, 2004

Wonderful addition to any cookbook library
My copy was an early Christmas present which arrived in plenty of time for holiday baking. There are lots of tempting cookie recipes with numerous options...many are very easy to follow. The book is also an excellent source of baking information. Definitely a great compendium. One of the things that I noticed about the recipes is that the amount of sodium (salt, baking powder, baking soda) ...

Earth Ponds: The Country Pond Maker's Guide to Building, Maintenance and Restoration

Tim Matson

Countryman Press, 1991

Serves a Purpose
This is a lovely, dreamy little book with some great black and white photos. It's perfect reading for a winter's night or for fostering fantasies. It's also a pretty good place to start before you call the county agent or start knocking on the doors of pond-owning neighbors. It's perfectly true that some of Matson's writing is way over the top ("I wake up from a nightmare of valkyries swooping ...

Best guidebook for Playa del Carmen out there!!!!!!!!!!
Joshua Hinsdale has written what I feel to be the best guidebook for the area. I do not think that he has missed a detail and I knew so much before I went to Playa del Carmen that I was able to have the best vacation possible.

Perfect Trust

J. Countryman, 2000

Inspiring Reading
"In order to trust God we must view our adverse circumstances through eyes of faith, not our senses," we're told in the first few pages of this wonderful book. Chuck Swindoll goes on to tell us how to do that. He describes people who reflect a quiet, peaceful calm as being those individuals who have cultivated a perfect trust in God. Such a mindset liberates one to be the distinctive person God ...

Countryman Press, 2004

You'll come home with prize winning photos!
David Middleton and Bruce Morrison have created a very insightful guide to coastal Maine photographic "hot spots". I am a professional photographer based in Maine, and while I am quite familiar with most of the places mentioned in this book I was pleasantly surprised to find out about others I had overlooked or was not aware of. (I also have a few secret spots of my own that did not crop up in ...
