The No S Diet: The Strikingly Simple Weight-Loss Strategy That Has Dieters Raving--and Dropping Pounds

37 reviews
Reinhard Engels, Ben Kallen

Perigee Trade, 2008

A COMMON SENSE APPROACH
I was curious about this newly-popular book since it is based more on when you eat than what you eat, which makes it somewhat similar to The 3:00 PM Secret. The No S Diet is simple and elegant, having just 3 rules - No Snacks - No Sweets - No Second helpings. These rules apply except on days that start with "S", namely, Saturdays, Sundays, and Special days, where "Special" days are defined as ...

Too many pictures not in a scrapbook? Read this!
Stacy Julian has a novel approach to scrapbooking--it does not have to be chronological, and you do not have to scrapbook every picture you have ever taken. Instead, you should scrapbook what is meaningful to you, and tells your story or the story of your family. One suggested project is a scrapbook that is a journal with pictures of just one month in your family's life. Stacy reminded me that ...

Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art

Shizuo Tsuji

Kodansha International, 1997

From Osaka With Love
This is the only Japanese cookbook you will ever need. As other reviewers have already mentioned, it is indeed "the Bible of Japanese cooking." A little bit about me, I first feel in love with Japanese cooking at the age of 8, when for my birthday, my parents took me to Joto's Japanese restaurant and I tried Sukiyaki. The sauce was to die for. The sauce won me over more than the ingredients ...

Llewellyn Publications, 2002

A Must Have
When I was gifted my first deck of cards 6 (almost 7) years ago, I purchased this book, as it was highly recommended. I haven't purchased another book about tarot in all this time. And even though I've been reading cards for awhile, I still check this book out on occasion. I think it's an excellent book if you're just starting out. Although I've never purchased any other books on tarot to compare ...

Our Get Out Of Debt Club's
Our book club had a secret a few years ago. In addition to loving to read good books with strong narratives, it turned out that all of our 18 members also had huge amounts of credit card debt. Some of us had about $5,000 in debt, most of us hovered between $20,000 and 35,000 and two of us actually had over $50,000 in unwanted debt. Things were getting desperate. When we finally fessed up to ...

Great Wine Made Simple: Straight Talk from a Master Sommelier

52 reviews
Andrea Immer

Broadway, 2000

Simply the Best
This is simply the best introduction to wine and winetasting that I have found. Many wine books get bogged down in minutiae, without telling you why it is significant. For example, they will spend three pages telling you about the soil and climate in a small region of say, France, without telling you how it affects the flavor and quality of the wine (i.e., why you should care). Somewhere in there ...

Your Cat: Simple New Secrets to a Longer, Stronger Life

Elizabeth M. Hodgkins

St. Martin's Griffin, 2008

A must read for cat owners
This book represents a step-change in the cat care paradigm for me and I wish that I had encountered sooner. Despite huge investments in expensive premium dry cat food bought at my vet over the years, one cat developed diabetes and another was unable to keep his food down. Reading this book provided me with the knowledge to consider an informed (Dr Hodgkins is not alone in her views) alternative ...

Golf Is a Woman's Game: Simple Techniques For Building A Better Game

37 reviews
Jane Horn

Adams Media Corporation, 1997

Excellent instructional book
In another review I read that this is William Jefferson Clinton's favorite golf book. You know since he has left the presidency he has a pretty good swing. Though I feel sorry for the guy because no one believes his scores, as a result he will probably never be accepted as a credible golfer. Now to this book. No I do not believe golf is a woman's game. It is no ones game. The game is equally ...

Beading with Cabochons: Simple Techniques for Beautiful Jewelry

36 reviews
Jamie Cloud Eakin

Lark Books, 2005

Another beadwork library must-have book
If only this book were spiral bound so you could have it open to follow directions, it would be perfect. The instructions are clear, well written, and should prompt even a new beader to take the plunge into beading with cabochons. The photos are extremely helpful and clear and the finished pieces pictured should prompt all to give it a go. A must have book for a beadwork library.

Smart Soapmaking
I was inspired to make soap when my daughter shared some shea butter soap with me that she had bought at a farmer's market and because I was concerned about the chemicals in the products we were using. I read a great deal about making cold process soap during the 2 years I was making melt and pour soap and gathering equipment. It seemed scary and complicated. Everyone said something ...

Cross-Train Your Horse: Book One: Simple Dressage for Every Horse, Every Sport

29 reviews
Jane Savoie

Trafalgar Square Books, 1998

Finally, easy to follow instructions and a reason for them
I spent much of my life as a cowgirl. Back then, no one considered dressage for basic training. Now that I am learning dressage, I needed someone to visually explain the maneuvers and the reason for how to execute them. This ol' cowgirl needed plain basic instructions and this book is the only one I consider easy to understand. That's a mouthful when it comes to dressage, but the book delivers. ...
