Schiffer Publishing, 2006

Intricate Beauty
This book is a pictorial feast for the eyes. The folk art of Sailors' Valentines has been captured in all its historical beauty. The intricate detail of each of the pictured works is simply amazing, and as an artist and craftsperson, I truly appreciate the skill and beautiful symmetry as documented in this book. The colors and photography are superb and the historical background and ...

Every tattoo artists sweet dream
I feel that every single tattoo artist,inspiring tattoo artist, or any kind of artists and even art historian should,must own this book. I will admit that when I read the first 15 pages cause thats all there is with any writting on. I had a tear in both my eyes. Every single page back to back is covered with Jerrys tattoo stencils. Also every page is in a very heavy duty paper and they are ...

modern man is loosing his ability to use his own hands
I read this book fifteen years ago, then bought the new edition because someone borrowed my old one. Yup, as the previous reviewer said, the Pardyes have only updated this edition, adding maybe 30 percent new info. But their message is as modern as today. Only by knowing how to get along without al the fancy gadgets can you be have a chance to feel completely in charge of your cruising life. You ...

The Sailor Dog (A Little Golden Book)

Golden Books, 2001

Warm hearted silly adventures .
I remembered this being read to/with me when I was a pre-schooler in the early fifties. I have strong memories of the art work as warm and secure images. Seeing them again fifty plus years later showed me why, they are outstanding! I had forgotten the plot, which is silly and fun to read aloud. More positive than most nursery plots, and with an independent well anthropomorphized canine hero.

AWESOME
Well, this book is when sailor V first appears. She is totally cool. Darien and Bunny (Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon) figure out eachothers true identities. And they find the silver imperium crystal(which is very very important). If you have seen Sailor Moon on Cartoon Network, just a thing. This is much different. Sailor Moon isn't as...clumsy. And the whole crystal thing is done way differently. ...

James D. Hornfischer

Bantam, 2005

Truly common boys, truly uncommon heroes
What an amazing, moving and inspiring book. It reads almost as a work of fiction, it moves so fluidly and thoroughly from character to character, ship to ship, and side to side. But every bit of it is true. It is hard to imagine that the white haired, slow-moving gentlemen we see at the malls or at church are some of the same who lived through the flames, the shrapnel, the bullets, the fear, ...

Sailing knots and splices
I purchased this book for my husband who has been looking for a easy explanation of splicing...He had the following to say: Have looked through several books on sailing knots and splicing and none have done a better job than The Marlinspike Sailor. The text shows a decent array of knots and does a great job on splicing which is what I purchased the text for. I have had no trouble following the ...

Sailor Moon destroyed Eugiel. In the second chapter: The scouts go to a concert where the Enemy invades. In the third chapter: Death Busters attack Amy In the fourth chapter: Sailor Pluto appears[ as ...

This book is front to back line flash. It is full of some of the greatest tattoos of all time. I like that every page front and back are full of stencils. And all the pages are perforated so they can be taken out and used for the shops wall. Great buy....

This is a great book! Like usual Naoko's drawing are gorgeous and the story line is enthralling! We finally get to see what exactally who Outer Senshi are and what they suddenly showed up for. Also, Mistress 9 appears and Chibi-Usa is horribly affected. O_o I'm not going to go into more detail, because I don't really want to give out too many spoilers, if you want to know what happens, go buy the ...

They are still fighting the same monsters as in books 1 and 2. The monsters brought Mamoru (Darien) back to life and told him to kill Sailor Moon.

Glorious in it's honesty and reality flavored with Love
I sought the man, in order to tell him how inspirational his adventures and his books are to me...I am disabled but with Tristan's writings, the adventurous spirit that lives inside of me is alive and 'abled' through the honesty in the telling, the respect for all people as individuals and the frankness regarding the truth of life. Tristan speaks with his heart .. the delights and cruelties ...

Sailor Bob Adamson

Non-Duality Press, 2005

Stop, this is it . . .
Don't allow your mind to be put off by the "Sailor Bob" moniker. He is the real deal. Over the years, I've read what seems like hundreds of books on higher consciousness and spirituality. Very few have offered the clear and direct message contained in this little book. This is the essence of, That I Am. Some may dismiss it as being over-simplistic and feel the need for a sledgehammer approach. ...
