Decorative Concrete (Sunset) 6 reviews
Jeanne Huber
Sunset Publishing Corporation, 2005
Great book on decorative concrete
I've purchased other books on decorative concrete, but this is the first one that I think is worth what I paid! It has excellent discussions of different techniques and materials, something that other books lacked. And, since they are not promoting some specific product, they provide information about products that are not as expensive as some of the systems that are being sold. The pictures are ...

One of the Best Ever Cookbooks
I love this cookbook. I need a new one because my first one that my mother bought me as a gift has fallen apart! I love most every recipe in this book. Lemony Lentil soup, Brazilian Black bean soup are among my favorites.

The Edible Garden (Sunset)5 reviews
Sunset Publishing Corporation, 2005
An excellent addition to any gardening library
Whether you are a master gardener or a beginner, this book would make a fine addition to your library. It is an excellent "how-to", with many color photos (distant and close-up for detail) and nicely-done illustrations.
No, this is not a "hoity-toity" book that is out of most working peoples' price range - it covers the spectrum of gardeners out there, from the most independent ...

SIMPLY PILLOWS
HATS OFF TO AMAZON.COM ! ! I purchased Simply Pillows after finding it in a local bookstore and comparison shopping at Amazon.com. The savings through AMAZON.COM were terrific! SIMPLY PILLOWS is a fantastic "users" book. I have been sewing for well over 30 years and found this book to have many great qualities. The graphic illustrations are easy to follow and the instructions are precise ...

Roses (Gardening & Landscaping)5 reviews
Philip Edinger
Sunset Publishing Corporation, 1998
Must-have for novice or experienced rose grower
After carefully comparing other books that provided comprehensive information on roses, I chose the Sunset Roses book and have not regretted it one bit. When I purchased the book, I had 4-5 roses in my garden, and now I have 52 (at the time of this writing ;-). I still refer to this book as a reference for pruning techniques, disease, planting and placement, and just as a wonderful review of ...

Southern Living Annuals & Perennials
What a fabulous resource! I've been taking Southern Living magazine for 20 years, and am continually inspired by the displays of floral color in each issue. The book begins with a lengthy section on how to use flowers in landscaping for year round effectiveness. The bulk of the book is taken up with its greatest feature: highlights of over 75 of the most popular annuals and perennials to ...

I have made half of dozen of the recipes in this book, and each turned out wonderfully. The recipes are varied, and the dishes were flavorful and enjoyed by everyone at the table. Some have become dinner-party favorites. The photographs are gorgeous.

Basic Woodworking (Sunset New Basic)2 reviews
Sunset Books
Sunset Publishing Corporation, 1995
Excellent book. Easy to read with great illustrations.
This book goes over all of the basic woodworking techniques. It includes all the tools and how to use them, joining techniques, finishing, planning, and the basics of furniture making. These are the best illustrations I've seen so far. There are no plans in this book though. For plans, check out Sunsets "Woodworking Projects", and Reader's Digest's "Woodworking Room by Room". I couldn't ...

Good book for the beginner
I compared this book to several others. It is the best for several reasons. First, it has an introduction with basic techniques and tools. The tool section has actual pictures of every tool you may need. This helps when going out to buy your supplies. Second, the has excellent step-by-step instructions for every technique. Third, the techniques covered range from simple to moderate, but all ...

Complete Patio (Complete...)2 reviews

A must for do-it-yourself patio builders
I like this book because it has it all. If you want to make a quick patio by laying some flagstones directly into soil and letting plants grow in between them, here is everything you need to know to design it, get the materials, and put it in next weekend. If you are thinking of something elaborate, like pouring a concrete slab, cutting flagstones and embedding them in mortar on it, again, ...

An excellent for a beginner
This book is an excellent instructional book for a novice/starting plumber like me, an IT/electronics person. With the excellent fundamentals, the nice and colorful drawings and the detailed step-by-step instructions, I was able to replace a p-trap, a tail piece and a strainer of a kitchen sink on my own. I attribute this first-ever accomplishment of mine to this book. The book is so ...

Great pictures and ideas
I looked through many books when it was time to have a bathroom redone. This book although not large, had some of the best pictures and ideas of the many books I looked at. I used one of their bathrooms as the base for my remodel and it came out looking great. Definitely check this book out if you are thinking of remodeling or even just freshening up a bathroom.

We bought this book because our stack of 1998 Sunset Magazines took up too much room and we could never remember which edition contained our favorite recipies. Of the two book shelves of cookbooks we have this is the book we pull out the most. Along with the great recipies it is well organized, contains educational cooking tips, wine pairing suggestions, and interesting articles about areas for ...

Best cookie recipe book I've ever used!
In ten years of sitting on my kitchen counter, this book has become the most soiled and used of all of my recipe books. As my tastes have changed, I've tried out about a dozen different recipes over the years...and have yet to come across a bad one. The pictures in here are incredibly helpful, the writing style clear, and the ingredients common enough to be easily accessible. My favorite ...
