The Ultimate Wood-Fired Oven Book 14 reviews
Anna Carpenter
Schiffer Publishing, 2008
Great Book for the Do It Yourselfer
Bought the book a couple of months ago. I have already bought every other book on pizza ovens. Even all the old ones that are out of print. This is a very good manuel for someone who is not a mason to learn how to build a good drafting pizza oven with her pizza oven kit without too much trouble. It also has a lot of pictures of different styles of ovens so you can build to suit your personality ...

Numerology and the Divine Triangle 40 reviews
Faith Javane, Dusty Bunker
Schiffer Publishing, 1979
Truthful book.
After mapping out my numbers on the number triangle, I read the messages that are implied with my numbers, and the messages for me are the same messages that a psychic gave me a couple months ago. So I think the number mapping is truthful and accurate. I found it really facinating!

The Transparent Tarot 34 reviews
Emily Carding
Schiffer Publishing, 2008
Unusual and inovative Tarot
This is such a different Tarot to use and will not be to everyone's taste. It requires some lateral thought and much more use of your intuition and imagination. Because the cards are transparent the card backs do not hide the face so may require you to pull a card looking away or with your eyes closed.
The ability to combine the images to create a whole picture brings a whole new dimension to ...

Reupholstering at Home: A Do-It-Yourself Manual for Turning Old Furniture into New Showpieces5 reviews
Peter Nerovich
Schiffer Publishing, 1992
Full of VERY HELP information
Although a book could never substitute seeing first hand, how upholstery is done, this book provides very detailed information. The photos are dated, but the process of the work is not and very clearly explained. Definitely a good reference book to have for anyone learning upholstery who might need additional information.

Bushido : Legacies of the Japanese Tattoo17 reviews
Takahiro Kitamura, Katie M. Kitamura
Schiffer Publishing, 2001
Great Buy
I recommend this book to anyone thinking of getting a Japanese tattoo, it has great pictures of true Japanese tattoos. Because if you get a Japanese tattoo from someone that does not know anything about the art, you are going to end up with a garbage tattoo. I also recommend this book to anyone that just wants to learn more about the art, even if you do not plan on getting a tattoo.

Bruce Grant
Schiffer Publishing, 1972
A lifetime of experience within these pages!
For lovers of leather braiding, this work is the Bible. Grant exhaustively covers a wide range of braiding techniques. His attention to detail and step-by-step instructions are superb. Sometimes his drawings are a bit primitive but they serve the purpose intended. His book covers how to make and work with rawhide, tools of the trade for leather braiding, various braid techniques such as twist ...

Serenade to the Big Bird (Schiffer Military History)18 reviews
Bert Stiles
Schiffer Publishing, 2007
Bert Stiles
First, the author was in my dad's squadron when he was killed in action. But his thoughts about the war while he was a bomber pilot sounded a lot like some of the times that are being saidnow about the current conflicts around the world.
Bert's narrative of the different missions he flew showed the fear or devil may care attitude of other people who also flew bombers during WWII.
Overall.. ...

Also every page is in a very heavy duty paper and they are ...

PYREX: The Unauthorized Collector's Guide (Schiffer Book for Collectors) 11 reviews
Barbara Mauzy
Schiffer Publishing, 2008
A Pyrex Cornucopia
With every book on collectibles people will say or write they couldn't find what they were looking for. This is true with antique and collectibles books but we need to determine if a book of this type is relevant to our needs.
As a seller of antiques and glass collectibles I find the Pyrex "Unauthorized Collector's Guide" has a wealth of information, if you will, a cornucopia of Pyrex ...

Extraordinary! Mind Blowing!
I have been studying UFOs and related matters for 30 years now. This is the best material available on the Planet regarding such arcane matters as: Philosophy, Cosmic Evolution, and the true nature and purpose of UFOs. I think so highly of the material that I have read the original four volumes 28+ times, and I have a website devoted to the subject matter called The Gateway to ntelligent ...

Frank C. Russell
Schiffer Publishing, 2006
Carving Patterns by Frank C. Russell
As a serious carver and instructor at various carving clubs, I have found this book to be a exceptional tool.
The assortment of wildlife patterns allows selection and detailed plan to create a replica for personal enjoyment or gift.
I highly recommend it to the novice or master carver alike and am sure they will find a pattern to challenge their ability therein.

Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., 2010
Battle Colors Vol IV, Insignia and Aircraft markings of the USAAF in WW II
This book has a capsule history of the units operating in the Mediteranean Theater. It breaks down the aircraft markings unit by unit with colored aircraft profiles, squadron insignias, and a few vintage photos. It does try to pack a lot of information in just a few pages per unit. Support groups and transports are not as well covered as the combat groups. With the formation of the 12th and 15th ...

Hallmarks of the Southwest (Schiffer Book for Collectors)13 reviews
Barton Wright
Schiffer Publishing, 2000
Great informative book!
I bought this book because I had a lot of authentic Native American jewelry to sell on ebay. An accumulation of over 40 years of living in Arizona. Unfortunately, most of what I had was not listed in the book and I assumed that might have been because of the fact the jewelry was not made in the Southwest. Some of the pieces I had did have the Artisans and Hallmarks represented in the book and ...

Great Marble Book!
Easier to use than some of the other marble "standards." It is well organized and the values, based on the condition of the marble, are with the marbles. Some of the other books have you constantly flipping from back to front to find a value. The different types of antique handmade marbles are logically grouped for the most part and the machine made marbles are divided by manufacturer.There ...

Making Mobiles (Schiffer Book for Artists)7 reviews

Metal mobiles only
While I'm sure this is a fabulous book -- the photos are numerous and precise, the directions are, too -- I am returning it because it is only about making mobiles with metal.
The product description does not mention this at all. A review mentioning "sheet metal" appeared after I put this book in my shopping cart; if I'd seen that earlier, I would not have ordered this book.
