Fab-u-lous!!!!
I have been a Charles Faudree fan for years and eagerly awaited the publication of his first book, then second and now third. Every time I go to Tulsa, I make it a point to go to his shop and try to absorb some of the class and style that is such an inherent part of his design philosophy...and I have managed to purchase a bauble or two to add to my own decor. This trip we were fortunate enough ...

Not your ordinary Ranch book
God Bless the folks at Atomic Ranch! I have been a subscriber to the Magazine for over 2 years now and have been dying to get the book.

When All Hell Breaks Loose
When All Hell Breaks Loose "If you are going through Hell, keep going."--Winston Churchill Once upon a summer day, a Grasshopper hopped and danced and sung to his heart's content. An Ant passed, dragging a huge sack of powdered milk, beef jerky, and salt. "Why not come and sing karaoke and do a Jell-O(tm) shot with me," chirped the grasshopper, "Instead of breaking your back, working all ...

Lifesaver for a novice in the kitchen on a budget!
Don't look down your nose on kitchen newbies. They have to eat, too -- therefore, they are willing to learn or they will starve! And, with little or nothing in your pocket, the decision to learn is made for you by the Kitchen Gods! 101 Things to Do With Ramen Noodles is an excellent, spiral-bound (WHY aren't all cooking and craft books designed this way???), nicely written and informative ...

A great holiday gift
I got this book for my 12 year old daughter for Christmas. She hasn't put it down since the day she got it. I am getting lots of fun questions like "Do we have any henna powder?", which makes me laugh (who on earth has henna powder handy). There are lots of laughs, and good suggestions for girls this age. I highly recommend the book.

HE EVEN TOOK IT TO SCHOOL!
In spite of all of the rave reviews, I still had my doubts about this book. Yet I finally purchased it for my 10-year-old grandson, and he loves it so much he even took it to school with him! (Considering that it is not a light book, and he already has a backpack full of books, I was really surprised!) I am overjoyed that he is getting so much pleasure out of this book. He has the whole ...

Stories in Stone: The Complete Guide to Cemetery Symbolism

Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2004

Captivating and Curious!
Even aside from cemeteries and graveyards, the information alone on symbols, emblems and icons is immensely resourceful. These combination visuals appear elsewhere too, not just in stone- not just for the dead! Many symbols for older societies and secret organizations in our world are touched upon, and their origins explained. Just a wonderful book. -Best, I love the format- easy handling! -For ...

Redundant and uninspired? I don't think so.
This is a beautiful book as are all of the books by Betty Lou Phillips. I did not find it uninspired or anything like a furniture showroom nor did I find it redundant because it has many new ideas and unusual color schemes. I was afraid to order this sight unseen after reading a couple of unfavorable reviews so I went to the book store to see it in person before I ordered it and was so relieved ...
