21 Pounds in 21 Days: The Martha's Vineyard Diet Detox 117 reviews
Roni Deluz, James Hester
Collins Living, 2008
Don't Judge until you try this!!!
First, I'm not a dieter.
Second, I don't do diets!!
I didn't do this just for the weightloss. I wanted to do this to feel better. Today is my 21st day of the detox and tomorrow I start the break.
My wife and I decided on this program after much research. We read both the posoitive and the negative. Having read a large portion of the reviews here, I found it odd how evenly split they ...

Dead in Vineyard Sand: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery10 reviews
Philip R. Craig
Scribner, 2006
maddening, yet fun
This is the most humorous of the Philip Craig books I have read so far. The book starts with a casual reference to a beach drowning in early summer on Martha's Vineyard, and then hits the golf course. Our hero, J.W. Jackson is coaxed into rejoining a game he hadn't played in about 30 years, and by the time he reached the fourth hole - ut oh - a surprise! Shifty looking golf partners add to the ...

A Vineyard in Tuscany: A Wine Lover's Dream 30 reviews
Ferenc Mate
Albatross, 2008
Funny, descriptive and entertaining
Ferenc Mate's second book on Italy (buy the first one "Hills of Tuscany" also, they are distinctly a matched set to be enjoyed one after the other) is, if possible, even better than the first one. He had a wonderful understanding of Italian culture and is able to convey that to his reader. If you have ever visited Italy, or are planning to, then his books are a must read. One of the things I ...

REPRINTS
THIS BOOK IS A REPRINT OF THE THIRD BOOK IN THE MARTHA'S VINEYARD MYSTERIES - "THE DOUBLE MINEDED MEN". IT WAS GREAT THEN - BUT COME ...- LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT IS A REPRINT - GLAD TO SEE THAT CRAIG IS REISSUING THEM THOU.

At Home in the Vineyard: Cultivating a Winery, an Industry, and a Life8 reviews
Susan Sokol Blosser
University of California Press, 2008
Speaks to the heart . . .
I found Hargrave's autobiography pompous and dull, but Susan Sokol Blosser's account of building a life in the Dundee Hills of Oregon speaks to me on many levels--as a woman working in the wine industry, a woman working with her husband, a woman running her own business, and a mother. Susan turns her trials into triumphs and exercises a sense of humor along the way. From the Great Goose ...

outstanding spy drama
The spooks from the intelligence community descend upon a winter Martha's Vineyard and put J.W. and his family in a bit of jeopardy, as he is trying to help his old Vietnam buddy, Joe Begay. A sinister terrorist known as "the Easter bunny" seems to be after Begay and one of his spooky associates. J.W. is dodging bullets and bombs in this excellent story. I was very impressed with the research ...

How You Stand, How You Move, How You Live: Learning the Alexander Technique to Explore Your Mind-Body ...13 reviews
Missy Vineyard
Da Capo Press, 2007
The best book on the technique I have read
I was introduced to the Alexander technique by a friend about 15 years ago following a car injury in which I suffered a herniated disc, severe pain in the arm and significant loss of muscle strength. I contemplated surgery which most of the doctors were recommending but decided to opt for less intrusive approaches including physical therapy and lessons in the Alexander technique.
Over the last ...

Vineyard Chill: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery (Martha's Vineyard Mysteries)11 reviews
Philip R. Craig
Scribner, 2008
The last Craig MV mystery
This is the final Martha's Vineyard mystery written by Philip R. Craig and it contains an intriguing story about murder on the idealic island. I have read the entire series and looked forward to each new publication. This last tale does not disappoint except for the sad realization that the joy of author Craig's wonderful stories about the Jackson Family have come to a close. It's like losing a ...

Philip R. Craig
Scribner, 2007
The last vineyard Mystery
Sadly this will be the last vineyard Mystery from Philip Craig. He died this past May and will be sorely missed by those of us that have read every one of his books. I totally recommend starting this series from the beginning and you will get to know all of the characters that are repeated in each book. Watch JW fall in love with Zee and watch their two children grow. JW is always able to figure ...

A Shoot on Martha's Vineyard: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery (Martha's Vineyard Mysteries)8 reviews
Philip R. Craig
Avon, 1999
Another delightful story from the Vineyard
I have devoured each of Philip Craig's Vineyard mysteries with great enthusiasm, and this one was no exception. His folksy description of Vineyard life is as enjoyable as the story itself, as is his ongoing update of his character's family life. His writing is as refreshing as an offshore breeze, and I look forward to each new book with pleasure.

Walking to Martha's Vineyard13 reviews
Franz Wright
Knopf, 2005
Exquisite...
Franz Wright speaks to me, perhaps more so than any other modern poet, and he does so with an elegant, minimalistic style. He has a keen way of recognizing the common, often mundane aspects of our existence. Yet, when he captures them on paper and puts his characteristic spin on them, it's a thing of beauty.
Not to mention, Wright has lived. I mean really lived. This is an artist who has ...

Vintage Violets; Wine At Its Best
After enjoying FLIRTING WITH PETE and LAKE NEWS I wasn't planning to read more Barbara Delinsky novels right away, since I believed I had already read the ones with themes related to my pursuits or interests.
Then I read THE VINEYARD excerpt at the end of my LAKE NEWS paperback.
I was captured with the ingenious way each main character was introduced by his/her reaction to a wedding ...

It's "Simply" a great bargain!
As the owner of grapeseek.com I am constantly receiving complimentary copies of grape growing books and this is one that really sticks out in my mind for the new or even experienced grower that wants his or her own vineyard. It describes the whole process from beginning to end and even tells you what you should be doing each month of the year and where to aquire the materials you need . Even if ...

In the Vineyard of the Text: A Commentary to Hugh's Didascalicon
Ivan Illich
University Of Chicago Press, 1996
In a work with profound implications for the electronic age, Ivan Illich explores how revolutions in technology affect the way we read and understand text. Examining the Didascalicon of Hugh of St. Victor, Illich celebrates the culture of the book from the twelfth century to the present. Hugh's work, at once an encyclopedia and guide to the art of reading, reveals a twelfth-century revolution as sweeping as that brought about by the invention ...

Schiffer Publishing, 2007
Martha's Vineyard Houses and Gardens
This was the most beautifully written and photgraphed decorating book I have seen. I own dozens of such books, and I seldom read all of the text, but I read this one from cover to cover. It made me want to lounge in the gardens and explore the house. I highly recommend this book for lovers of home decorating and gardening books. It is exquisitely warm and funny!

Susan Branch
Little, Brown and Company, 1988
More than a recipe book
This book made me feel so good that I wanted to move to Martha's Vineyard to experience Susan Branch's seasons and possibly be neighbors with her! I am no homemaker type, cooking is hard for me and normally I am cynical about these kinds of books. But what a happy surprise this book was. Great ideas for parties and the details of entertaining, not just how to make the food. I certainly love ...

Death in Vineyard Waters : A Martha's Vineyard Mystery3 reviews

drowning?
Academicians descend upon the island with various professional jealousies and interesting talk of Shakespeare and Arthurian legends. But one of the professors goes swimming and gets pulled out of the water by fishing nets. Was it just a simple drowning accident? J.W. doesn't think so... the currents would have drifted her body miles from where it was located. Along the way in this very ...
