Art of Finger Waving -- Recreating Vintage 1920s and 1930s Hairstyles Paul Compan
Bramcost Publications, 2007
Originally published in 1930, this rare book contains very detailed instructions and illustrations for recreating the fantastic long and short hair finger wave styles of the 1920s and 1930s. Finger waving is the shaping of the hair while wet into "s-curved" undulations using your fingers and a comb. You'll learn this technique as well as creating the three types of swirls to use based on the hair ...

Classy topper!
A fedora that doesn't have to stay home. Pack and go. Top quality that can make the trip at a very reasonable price. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Tobacco Road 47 reviews Erskine Caldwell
University of Georgia Press, 1995
Debasing, but not necessarily limited to Southerners...
+ This South Should Never Rise Again + Tobacco Road, a Must-Read
I find it rather humorous to note that not only do the majority of the people getting offended by this work of literary brilliance hail from south of the Mason-Dixon, but also that no one seems to have a clue of Caldwell's primary intention. His always-controversial characters, particularly the ...

The Complete Recordings 130 reviews Robert Johnson
Sony, 1990
An absolutely essential purchase.
+ It's Great but... + It's the only Robert Johnson album you'll ever need.
Almost exactly seventy years ago, a man who was then known as Robert Johnson passed away. He was poisoned, presumably by a houseman/barkeep whose wife had been flirting with him on an August Evening. Around the same time, a king pin of the then small, homely music industry sent out a middle man to ...

Betty Boop - The Vintage Collection [Remastered] (2-DVD Set) 2 reviews Betty Boop
A2ZCDS, Inc., 2007
The Real Betty Boop
+ Best so far...
In case you're not a Max Fleisher fan of old cartoons, like myself, let me first start off with the important stuff. Betty Boop was a totally different girl before the Production Code, or Hay's Code, was put into act in 1934. This code was similar to the ratings on tv now, keeping things G or MA, ...

Midwestern Must Read
+ The Real Deal on John Dillinger + FANTASTIC!!!
This is Dillinger, from early childhood through his notorious days. The book captures everything you'd expect from a biography and gives the gangster enthusiasts enough mouth-watering drama. I love the timelines! Being from the midwest, I recognized many of the towns he targeted so this is a ...

Dust to Eat: Drought and Depression in the 1930s 2 reviews Michael L. Cooper
Clarion Books, 2004
Poignant account of Dust Bowl era
+ Brief but excellent
After hearing author on NPR, ordered Mr. Cooper's book and found it to be a concise and poignant account. I recommend it highly. Not a pleasant "read," but the book helped me gain new appreciation for the grit (no pun intended) of those who lived through one of the most-challenging periods of ...

Can't beat 'em
We've used a lot of these in our Craftsman-style home. Also, I've restored some of the really old ones. There's not a big difference -- perhaps for a purist. Hey, if you want the heft and feel of the 'real thing', sometimes a seller on ebay has them. Sometimes. You'll end up paying a lot more.
