4 | Bob Evans was a fine man | Sigh ... This is an okay book, and does make me wish I'd made the effort to meet Bob Evans in person. I find myself grieving over the changes that have transpired in his restaurant chain in the past ten or fifteen years, from dinner rolls that are 'mostly air' to chicken pot pies that have as the top, what appears to b... | [] | 0615235239 | 0615235239 | AHLRW7X4WVLZJDS6BM6J3YP3NNSA | 1,471,357,890,000 | 2 | true |

3 | Purchased As A Gift; Not Personally Read | This book was purchased as a gift; I did not read it. Salt is an essential part of good health. Yes, too much salt is harmful, but moderation is the key to most things in life.

4 | Nice, but surprising | I like the book, but several of the quotes near the bottom of pages, were just not all there.

4 | 4 Stars | This book is not something I would buy if I were on a search for factual history about Diana, but it is replete with photos.

4 | Richly photographed & lovingly described! | A friend of mine and her special cattle dog are one of the photos in this book, and that was my main reason for buying it.

4 | Love almost everything about this book! | The good stuff first: Ray's sketches and articles are superb vignettes into life in several parts of Alaska, capturing buildings & memories before they fade away.

5 | A fine book about a fine company | Lincoln Electric has an earned record for longevity, but the author knows that such a history need not become mired in many hundreds of pages.

1 | Tells you ultimately nothing specific about your Morkie | The book doesn't tell you anything about Morkies.

Better information was available on the internet and from others who know about... | [] | 1909151025 | 1909151025 | AHYLIR2L6II4KU2CNGXPFHIQTTPA | 1,446,500,319,000 | 2 | true |

4 | Really cute story | This was a surprisingly cute and entertaining story. I bought it for my 8-year-old son. There are not many spy series out there for children that young (the Jack Stalwart spy books are also outstanding for this age group), and this series promises to be very sweet. Boo is almost a spy in spite of herself - pluckines... | [] | 1598168029 | 1598168029 | AHYLIR2L6II4KU2CNGXPFHIQTTPA | 1,226,261,008,000 | 0 | false |
5 | Another great installment in the series | These books are an amazing series. They really provide a true spy series appropriate for young children.

5 | Better than I expected! Wow! | This book is definitely worth reading for any Austen Fan<br />1. First, the concept is fascinating.

It's much more interesting and advanced than I Spy and it's more unique and interesting than the Where's Waldo series, particularly for a Pokemon fan.

5 | Unbelievably Delicious, Unbelievably Easy | As a vegetarian for almost 30 years, this was the cookbook I had always been waiting for.

5 | Wow! A picture book on evolution! | An earlier reviewer was right on target when s/he said "I wish there was a whole series like this one!"

4 | Funny, Good humor for preschoolers also, tales with morals | A cute collection of funny tales with morals. Can be read to preschoolers. The material is not "dumbed down."

4 | Fun and Snazzy book | This is a fun colorful book enjoyed by my 2 1/2 year old who really loves music and dancing.

5 | Good music book for young readers | Good introduction to various orchestra music instruments for young children.

5 | Good version, beautifully illustrated | As a mother of a 28-month-old, I often feel that children's fairy tales should only be read by adults because such stories tend to be filled with objectionable levels of text and illustrations reflecting sexist, heterosexist, racist, violent and outright scary themes.
