Cookie Craft: From Baking to Luster Dust, Designs and Techniques for Creative Cookie Occasions

58 reviews
Valerie Peterson, Janice Fryer

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2007

Finally, a great modern cookie book.
As a pastry chef with my own bakery, I'd been trying different sugar cookie recipes for months and couldn't find one that created the kind of blank canvas I needed. Sure they were yummy, but the dough was too sticky and the end product too chewy and crackled to decorate. The recipes in this book create beautiful blank canvases every time -- sharp corners and points stay sharp in the oven, and ...

Let It Rot (A Garden Way publishing book)

all you really need to know about composting is in this book
I just built my first compost bins and I refer to this book often. I built it out of pallets as I didn't want to invest any money at this time and then find out later I wasn't going to like it. It is working out great. I already have decomposing going on and the worms have moved in! (which is good!) It has only been about 2-3 weeks and I was surpised and happy to see some progress happening.

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2009

Inspiring and helpful, good details
This is a good book. I like how specific and detailed the information is -- that is what I was looking for. I have a feeling I'll be referring to this book again and again. While I already knew about the advantages of raised beds and compost (who doesn't?), this book is organized well so that I can find specific info about each type of fruit/veggie I might plant. I also liked seeing how he ...

Gorgeous book with incredible technique and design ideas

And she teaches concepts that you can use in all your knitting without obvious instructional steps. From modular knitting to reversible scarves, I cords i color to a knitted bag, ...

Lee Schneller

Storey Publishing, LLC, 2009

My saving grace
As a new home owner and novice gardener, I was overwhelmed by my overgrown 1/3 acre yard. It has beautiful bones, but has not been well-tended in many, many years. I took out book after book from the library and felt nothing but frustration. Then I discovered this book. Since then, I have planted hundreds of new plants and torn apart the old weedy beds. Perhaps most exciting, the whole ...

Hive Management: A Seasonal Guide for Beekeepers

Richard E. Bonney

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1991

A book with love and respect
My husband is the hand-on beekeeper, I am just the helper. Mr. Bonney's book is written with love and respect of his bees. I think one has to have these emotion to be a good keeper of bees or livestocks or pets or family. His statement makes scientific (biological and physical sciences) sense. It tells WHY things are done in such such ways.Not just do this do that type of book.

Great for 4-Hers
I'm going to get my first goats soon and this book has answered all the questions I had. It also helped alot with my 4-H Goat projects. Even though it is written for kids I think that grown ups who dont know much about goats would learn alot from it. It covers pretty much everything, feeding, management, breeding, kidding, raising for pets, dairy, meat, fiber even packing and driving. There are ...

After having read it, I am in the stages of finalizing the type of greenhouse I want and making plans for building it this summer. If you would like to see ...

Pictures are worth one thousand words!
I like this book so much - this is the third copy I have purchased this year! (I keep giving my copy away to family members who desperately need it.) The black line drawings are what keep bring me back to this one book for all of our pruning needs. We have berry bushes (some wild and some we planted ourselves), flowering shrubs, fruit trees, a bonzi tree, a dogwood, grape vines, 3 old Oaks ...
