Fun and helpful
What a fun book! Informative too. I couldn't put it down, and have since grown my *own* avocado plant with my toddler (we named ours Audrey). The stories associated with the author's experience with each plant are funny, sometimes hysterically so. My favorite was the image of him standing on a ladder forcefully throwing coconuts into a bathtub filled with saltwater to simulate coconuts ...

White Trash Cooking

Ten Speed Pr, 1988

Superb Regional Cookbook
I must confess that I resisted buying this cookbook for many years. I am an avid collector of American Regional and International cookbooks, but found the title of this book offensive. I assumed it was written to mock rural whites, a people I know to be hardworking, self-reliant, and decent. I was wrong about this one. This book actually celebrates these people and their cuisine, and is one of ...

Marilyn Dishes Up a Six-course Meal and more!
Anybody in the business world or on the inside track of Los Angeles life knows who Marilyn and Harry Lewis are; their building of the Hamburger Hamlet dynasty is legendary. What makes this truly fascinating book come to life though, is the "true Marilyn" who jumps from the page. With many autobios, you can read it cover to cover and not know a whit more about the real person behind that public ...

Fabulous cookbook with loads of easy to make, elegant dishes
I love to cook and own many classic cookbooks, but there is none that I use more frequently than this one. The recipes are uncomplicated, yet delicious, and are suitable for both entertaining and every day meals. Unfortunately, after several years of continuous use, my book is falling apart! I hope the publisher reprints it soon, so that I can purchase a couple of spare copies!

Outdoorsmen's delight
This book is geared towards building structures that were used by outdoorsmen from years past. It covers how to make a bed from natural materials, a log cabin, Native American log house, and how to work an axe just to name a few topics covered in this book. The drawings of the dwellings in the book are simple (but not in depth plans or charts). The author does a great job of explaining how to ...

I don't have to wear glasses because of this book!
An excellent book! When I first started looking into alternatives to contacts and glasses I was lucky enough to have a friend refer this book to me. I started reading it and immediately began to apply some of the simple vision exercises. My eyesight improved radically! - About an immediate 75% improvement (towards what I remember from youth). This book had lots of simple eye exercises I could ...

Mushrooms Demystified (Limited Edition)

Ten Speed Pr, 1986

The title describes it best
Perhaps the best affirmation of this book is how I acquired it: it was assigned as a textbook in an evening class at a local community college, "Mushroom Identification and Taxonomy". That was 15 years ago. It was a regular 4 credit hour class, using microscopes to examine spores etc. I can't imagine what other book would have been used because it is so detailed and carefully organized. As ...

Ten Speed Pr, 1996

The Encyclopedia of Packing!
All my life I have yearned for some unknown knowledge. Feeling incomplete, I began at an early age to selfishly take in as much information as possible. I read everything I could get my hands on, encyclopedias, dictionaries, textbooks, but nothing could quench this thirst. That is until I found this book. I still remember the day fate brought it to me. Opening its crisp pages I began to take ...

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK
I cannot say enough good things about this book. I have the 1995 edition that I purchased as a destitute college grad. Aside from my education, this book was probably one of the best investments I have made in my career. The book details how to write thoughtful, meaningful, and impactful (if that's a word) cover letters and thank you letters. As others have written, I have received so many ...

My Favorite Coffee Table Book
Fabulous retrospective of Maxfield Parrish's finest work. The illustrations are superb. This book is expensive, but worth the money. If you're looking for a price guide, I suggest Erwin Flack's book. -- James Halperin, sf novelist and Parrish fanatic.

The Tao of Cooking: An International Vegetarian Cookbook

Salley Pasley

Ten Speed Pr, 1982

I love this cookbook
This is a wonderful vegetarian cookbook. The recipes are pretty simple and easy to follow, but absolutely delicious and mostly call for fairly ordinary ingredients. The recipes are also reasonable -- you don't need to devote a whole day to cooking a tasty meal without meat. I have had and loved this book for about 10 years now, and it's so splattered and worn that I've decided I need a new ...

Instead of changing the subject or creating a fantasy solution,this book helps children confront their fears and envision workable resolutions, to better understand the position the dream has put them in, and the message ...

Left-Wing Radicals gotta eat!
Anyone who looks at this book will likely be expecting some sort of writings on left-wing radicalism. But that's not what this book is about at all, true, it was written by the co-founder of the Black Panther Party, Bobby Seale, but what he does in 'Barbecue 'N with Bobby', is enlighten us connoiseurs of fine food with barbecue recipes. The recipes are magnificent, and he even tells us some ...

Where are the other life-changing books like this one?
This IS the book for Urban Adventure. And Yes, it did start a movement, or more properly, collesced a movement of people who were already exploring abandoned buildings, subway tunnels, storm and steam dreains, and labyrithian basement complexes. This is the grandfather of all of the great sites ont he Web today that deal with Urban Exploration and Infiltration. Strangely, when I interviewed ...

Fantastic Work of Truth
This book describes wonderfully how to apply the principles of Truth as illuminated in "A Course In Miracles", as well as other great works of Truth, to your career. Although the author doesn't refer to ACIM directly, the principles of Truth are constant and never changing, and this book, and ACIM illuminate the Truth. This book gave me a deeper understanding of ACIM principles. Like Truth, it ...

Great book that cuts through the mystery of resumes.
This book does exactly what it says it will -- gives you an excellent resume overnight. Cuts through the waste found in most resume books and delivers what is needed. No matter who I was I would not hesitate to write my resume with the aid of this book.

The Wellness Workbook

Wellness Education
I love this book! and am grateful for its reintroduction into the marketplace. With its new look and updated content I can now use the Wellness Workbook in my college health classes without fear of being labeled out of date. The Wellness Workbook was one of the original shapers of the Wellness Movement in the early 1980s, and promoted the idea that health was more than the absence of disease. ...
