The Chumash: The Stone Edition (Artscroll Series)

Mesorah Publications, Limited, 1993

Chumash
I have found the insight and information contained in this book tremendously valuable in learning and gaining a little understanding into the Torah. Each year as I go through it I glean a little more knowledge. So much stuff, I will be learning from it as long as I read it.

Lust for life

Irving Stone

The Heritage reprints, 1937

Living for Lust
I should have read this biography sooner. I used to be in love with his paintings, and even fantasized that IF I were to travel back in time, I would've married him -- all this BEFORE I read this book. After I read it I found out that there was one such infatuated woman (Margot), and also a tragic unrequited love story that led him to religion and then to painting. Anyone who is creative will ...

Great book. Amazing story. Very inspiring. Easy read, and you won't want to put it down.

The Pregnancy Bible: Your Complete Guide to Pregnancy and Early Parenthood

62 reviews

Firefly Books, 2003

Excellent information
What initially attracted me to this book was that it has colour photos, not diagrams. Seriously, we are all adults and know how babies are made and can cope with photos which are much more informative than diagrams! This is consistent with the book's informative, factual content, nothing soppy or humerous. I wanted to write a review with the book in front of me so I could outline it's topics but ...

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1)

J.K. Rowling

Scholastic Paperbacks, 1999

Please don't summarize!
I loved this book and read it in two days and began the next immediately. One thing that troubles me -- about many amazon reviews -- is that they are NOT reviews. Person after person summarizes the story (which is, basically, summarized in the official editorial paragraph. WHY OH WHY does everyone do this! WHy not just say what you liked/disliked and why? Rowling uses EXQUISITE VOCABULARY ...

Susan Cooper

Simon Pulse, 1993

Wonderful, wonderful series
This series is my son's absolute FAVORITE. He's 8 and I recently decided to introduce him to the books, and he ate them up. He said he likes how the bad people aren't always perfect, and he likes the way the Drew siblings work together in OVER SEA, UNDER STONE and again in GREENWICH and SILVER ON THE TREE. I'm pretty sure that he didn't understand all the symbolism in THE DARK IS RISING, though ...

Five Smooth Stones

Ann Fairbairn

Corgi Childrens, 1969

My All Time Favorite Book
I can't tell you the first time I read this book. I can tell you that I re-read it every couple of years because it touches my heart so. I was born in 1950 so I can remember a lot of the civil rights movement. I began looking for a copy of this book around 1995 and it was already out of print. However a dear friend of mine located a paper back copy in a used book store and gave it to me for ...

The monster at the end of this book (A little golden book)

Jon Stone

Western Pub. in conjuction with Children's Television Workshop, 1971

High drama
Oh, the suspense. Oh, the surprise! Oh, I love reading this book with my kids. In fact, it is the *perfect* book to read as I introduce a new food at mealtime, because everyone has to take a bite before we turn the page... to see what happens... with the MONSTER at the end of this book. (Mealtimes around here are often informal. Such is life.) So in addition to a great kids' book, ...

Harrison

Editors of Rolling Stone

Simon & Schuster, 2002

Harrison
I must challege Candace Scott's remark in her review : "But it's a stretch, to put it mildly, to place Harrison in the same league as Lennon & McCartney as a songwriter. Ouch! I love George as much as anyone, but still expect truthful history to be written" I agree, George should not be placed in the same league as Lennon & McCartney because he was totally in his own league ! What is ...

Little Witch

Anna Elizabeth Bennett

J. B. Lippincott, 1953

What is it about this book?
We should form a club or something. My story of loving this book as a child and then having to search long and hard as an adult to rediscover what it was called and who wrote it seems to be one that hundreds of women share. I can still see the delightful pen-and-ink illustrations, although I haven't held a copy of the book in my hands since I was -- eight? nine? Minx and Madam Snickasnee are ...

Dragon of the Red Dawn (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))

Mary Pope Osborne

Random House Books for Young Readers, 2007

A fabulous addition to a wonderful series
This wonderful adventure with a Japanese poet was added to our collection just in time. An article ran about him in National Geographic, and my eldest son would not have had a clue who he was if he had not read this book. I think it is delightful how Mary Pope Osborne uses these texts to expose children to places, ideas and situations that might not otherwise be accessible to them. Definitely ...

Edith Pargeter

Warner Books, 1993

The Heaven Tree Trilogy is heavenly to read
The first book in the trilogy, The Heaven Tree, tells the story of master stonemason Harry Talvace as he is hired by Ralf Isambard to build him a great cathedral at Parfois along the Welsh Marches. Isambard also brings courtesan Benedetta along with him as mistress, although he is unaware that Benedetta bears a lifelong unrequited love for Harry. Harry makes a desperate choice to save a child ...

Nankering With the Rolling Stones

30 reviews
James Phelge

Chicago Review Press, 2000

Ah, joy! Now I know what Nanker-Phelge finally is (and why)!
This book is precious and priceless! Older Stones fans (like me), especially those familiar with Sixties London and the districts where The Stones lived in 1963, will delight in the easily readable and so evidently true stories of The Stones' very early days when Mick, Keith and Brian were more than teenagers but not quite mature adults. Phelge has covered many of the bases and truly gives you ...

Karen S. Wiesner, T. A. Stone, ...

Hard Shell Word Factory, 2003

From Print Publishing to Electronic Publishing
This is an excellent resource properly subtitled as "The Definitive Guide." As a print publisher of sixteen years, I wanted to learn about electronic publishing and spent hours on the Internet wading through the various, and often conflicting, information. I purchased a copy of "Weave Your Web" by Karen Wiesner and after reading it decided that I had to have her book on Electronic Publishing. ...

George Lawrence Stone

George B. Stone & Son, Incorporated, 1998

A must have for any drummer....
I had been playing about 15 years before I discovered this book and it's companion book "Accents and Rebounds". I had been gigging heavily, practicing hours and hours a day (mainly rock/fusion/funk), owned 20+ books, 15 or so videos, but somehow never owned a copy of these two books. These books are full of simple exercises I truly think anyone can do. After practicing just the few first pages ...

The Art of Painting Animals on Rocks

Lin Wellford

North Light Books, 1994

A VERY USEFUL BOOK. NOT MUCH TO NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS ONE!
I enjoyed this work from the moment I opened it. This book is not only "pretty," it is actually useful. The illustrations are perfect and uncomplicated. The text is easy to follow. Even someone with minimum artistic tallent, such as myself, can actually creat something quite pretty and eye catching. The author offers step by step instructions which even includes how to choose your rock. She ...

He Still Moves Stones

Max Lucado

W Publishing Group, 1994

Best Book by Lucado
I've read most of Max Lucado's books and this is not only my favorite by him but my favorite book of all time. (Well, except for the Bible.) This book is helpful in some way for anyone who reads it. I have given this book as a gift for so many people going through a tough time and it has helped each one. No one tells a story in quite the way Lucado does. It is hard to put his books ...

Among my first batch of books...with greatest influence on attaining personal achievement in life!
The first batch of significant books that had the greatest influence on me in terms of attaining personal achievement includes mostly Napoleon Hill's books: - The Law of Success; - Think & Grow Rich; - The Keys to Success; - Success through a Positive Mental Attitude; - Succeed & Grow Rich through Persuasion; The others were from Clement Stone, Dale Carnegie, & Earl Nightingale. That ...
