Gordon Grimsdale
Salamander Books, 2000
A splendid complement to good cooking.
I received this book as a gift several years ago and it has become one of my most frequently used cook books. This beautifully illustrated book with easy to follow directions provides the recipe for dressing up any dish. Modestly priced, it is a wonderful gift to give as well as to receive.

Warfare in the Classical World29 reviews
John Warry
Salamander Books, 1997
Must have if you are interested in ancient wars
I just got this for my son and I ended up reading it first. I am sure during this X'Mas both of us will want to fight for the book. The pictures and the drawings are of the highest qualities. I love the descriptions of major wars. I just wish that the author has given it more explanation of the drawings for the major battles like adding more legends. Also, it is kind of hard to read/understand ...

Illustrated Anatomy of the World's Fighters5 reviews
"Green", Swanborough
Salamander Books, 2001
Insightful look into the designs of Fighter aircrafts.
Gorgeous color photos of fighters through the ages are on the inside covers and the intro sections. However, the main substance of this book are the highly detailed and labeled b/w 3-D cutaway diagrams of some well known fighter aircrafts from the WWI Morane-Saulnier Type N, WWII P-38 Lightning, DeHavilland Mosquito to the modern Dassault Rafale, Saab Gripen, F-22A Raptor and Eurofighter EF2000 ...

Book of Mediterranean Cooking4 reviews
Lesley Mackley
Salamander Books, 2001
I could live on this book alone
This book is simply amazing. I got this book because I wanted a general overview of mediterranean cooking after having lived in Italy for 3 years. I have made several of the recipes in this book and they are simply fantastic. This book is good because a) there are pictures of every recipe and pictures of all the ingredients in the recipe as well as pictures of preparation, b) several recipes ...

CUSTER: CAVALIER IN BUCKSKIN.4 reviews
Robert M. Utley
Salamander, 2001
Do we need a revised edition?
The earlier paperback edition of Cavalier was the first book I read about Custer. At the time I was expecting Utley to take a strong stand as to whether Custer was a brilliant Indian-fighting hero, or an egomaniacal upstart. So I found the objective style and even-handed treatment a little disappointing. However, several years and books later, I have come to see this as the best book on Custer ...

Genetic Engineering Dream or Nightmare?: The Brave New World of Science and Business4 reviews
Mae-Wan Ho
Salamander Books (PA)
A far more important book than its title indicates
While Dr. Ho's book is indeed a warning about the hazards and inequities involved in uncontrolled and exploitative genetic engineering, it is also one of the most incisive and well-informed critiques of the orthodox neo-Darwinian model of evolution by chance mutation and natural selection, addressing head-on the popular myths propagated by writers such as Jacques Monod, Richard Dawkins and ...

The Encyclopedia of Air Warfare (1975 version)3 reviews
Thomas W. Crowell Company
Thomas W. Crowell Company @ Salamander Books 1974, 1975
Excellent
Although dated in some areas, this work is one of the best general military aviation books ever written. The writers do an excellent job of covering the history of military from its beginnings up to the modern era; which at the time of publication was the late 1970's.

Hey Look! The Happy Book3 reviews
Snip Francis, Melanie Gilbert
Little Salamander Press, 1997
Loved it!
I had the opportunity to meet the authors at a book signing a few months ago. They are a joy to be with, totally energetic and love kids. "The Happy Book" is a reflection of their attitudes. The book has paper puppets you cut out, and they each match a certain item on each page of the book. As you read, your child finds the puppet that matches, which they (oddly) never tire of. Fun and uplifting ...

Happy Living through Happy Stories
Perhaps the best years of living take place between the ages of 5-12. The whole world opens up through reading, writing and learning to express yourself. With these new opportunities come choices and conflicts. Happy Stories perfectly captures those years with stories that brim with freshness and warmth. Re-live the magic of those years by reading this book yourself. Or pass it on to your young ...

Salamander Dream4 reviews
Hope Larson
AdHouse Books, 2005
Beautiful in may ways
This is not only a wonderful story, but every page is a work of art that could stand on its own. The book is a treat to look at, and even the paper stock ads to the feeling. Hope Larson is one of the best illustrators out there, and she is emerging as a good storyteller, also. This book is good enough to make me write an Amazon review for the first time in forever (and with this name I don't ...

American Sailing Navy
For those who are interested in the technical details of the US Navy sailing ships, this is the book of choice. This is perhaps one of the most complete and thorough research book that covers the history of the sailing ships serving the US Navy.

Beautiful projects that can be given as gifts!
I checked this book out from the library amongst many other craft books because I needed ideas to teach a class. This book was full of ideas that were easy and nice enough to be given as gifts to friends or parents. The pressed flower projects are beautiful. I've added this book to my wish list.
