A Unique Guide
The Sophisticated Cookie does an excellent job with a tricky subject: cooking with booze. While it is perhaps a fallacy that "all the alcohol bakes out;" at least most of it does, and we are frequently left with flavor that is, well, sophisticated. You might find your liquor cabinet woefully understocked for some of these delicacies; on the other hand, you might be inspired to finally reach for ...

Encouraging ways to create your career
First off, the layout of Nicole William's "Wildly Sophisticated" makes it a fun read. In terms of context, William's spotlights many of the career-doubts and self-doubts that women in all stages of their career struggle with, such as childbearing and quitting a hated job. Reading "Wildly Sophisticated" was like sitting in on a conversation with women eager to enhance their careers, yet ...

Read it, used it, loved it!
As a great lover of luxury travel, I found this book an indispensable collection of unique destinations that are hard to find over the Internet, unless you have a significant amount of free time available. I have been using a few travel Websites for many years to arrange for both my business and leisure trips, but this book eventually opened my mind on the invaluable contribution that consultants ...

Christopher Warnasch

Scenario: You've just finished dinner on a first date. The person sitting across the table from you leans in and says, "Well, this has been interesting. The mephitic aroma wafting out of the kitchen added flavor to your prosaic prandial gibbering. I think I'd really like to spend the rest of the evening eschewing you." Do you: (A) yell "check, please" and prepare for a romantic follow-up to dinner (B) ask "so, do you want to see a dessert ...

Mcgraw-Hill (Tx), 1989

Great reference work on electronics
Oddly enough, many people in the electronics industry (even some electronics engineers) remain mystified by the basic internal mechanisms common to all semiconductor devices. This book, which moves from the simplest to some of the most sophisticated IC devices, offers a comfortable understanding of the way these devices really work. Using physical intuition rather than mathematics to tell the ...

Simon and Schuster, 1959

Out dated Classic
I purchased this book after it being quoted in one of Gerald Loeb's books. Sadly while it offered some good advice I was disappointed in the writing style and it made for boring burdensome reading. I advise all readers to skip this one and buy William O'Neal's: "The successful investor" for a quick clear read with the same basic information and updated in modern form. Here are some quotes from ...

Suzanne Munshower

Summit Publishing Group, 1994

It's a start despite the mistakes
Especially for a job, if you want to improve your vocabulary and understanding of the upper middle class or upper class tastes, this book is a start. It has a lot of errors in it, but the previous posts do a good job of pointing them out. Frankly, there is no other book you can use as a starting point; in fact, if you want to develop some sophistication, you need to know what topics to ...

Quarry Books, 2003

Just what I was looking for!
Well, almost. I know how to knit and can do some basic things, but I was looking for a book to take me a little further on in my skills, but to date I haven't found the book that can do it. I was also looking for some things to decorate my home with, as always, and this book gave me that. The patterns are simple for the most part, easy to accomplish, and simply explained. I'm looking forward ...

University Press of Mississippi, 2006

Must have if you are a fan of the 40's!
This is a very informative book if you like Zachary Scott. Very detailed about his life growing up and his desire to be a stage actor and movie star. His family life growing up, his closeness to his mother, his marriages, and the making of movies is very interesting. If you love Mr. Scott, as I do, and have seen his movies, this is a must have!
