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...

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. I've been using iodized sea salt for thirty years with no ill effects.

Nice, but surprising
I like the book, but several of the quotes near the bottom of pages, were just not all there. Sentences would start and then stop at mid-sentence, and they did not continue to the next page.

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. The fact that the town of Carmichael, California, is a precious gem of Americana was a real bonus. The author clearly adores the town and its inhabitants and "paints" both with a loving wri...

Research about agriculture for that time period just prior to World War II
As expected, this is a reference book on agriculture in America. It's certainly not light reading, but is good for discerning what was available via the U.S. Department of Agriculture at that time.

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.

From title to last page, there's much to be gleaned from its 257 pages of text (total of 308 pages). The preface, first two chapters, pages 65, 234-237, and 256-257 are integral. Highly recommended reading for those seeking to better understand the spider AND its web.

Everyone should read this book and 2013 volume
I heard about these books about the WASTE in our Government. I got 2011, 2012 and 2013. I'm still reading through them but I am amazed at what has and is going on. We are paying for this. Everyone needs to read these books. I heard that the senator, Dr. Tom Coburn will not run for another term. TERM LIMITS are th...

The product is perfect and as expected. Delivery was negligent.
This package, approximately 8"x 4" in size was due to be delivered by 8pm.<br />At 11:30pm, the message came in that it arrived. Checked the front porch and it wasnt there. Continued walking down the path where it was set on the sidewalk at the corner of the garage. Rather than taking the 6 more steps to place it on th...

Good book, bad used copy
I bought this used and they didn’t say it was an ex-library book and I don’t like ex-lol Barry books, so I didn’t like the copy. The book itself is good but I think George Lucas is amazing.

Tells you ultimately nothing specific about your Morkie
The book doesn't tell you anything about Morkies. It's a series of books for all different breeds and most of the information in one is just copied into the others. Wasn't helpful at all for finding specifics about my little 10 lb Morkie. Better information was available on the internet and from others who know about...

Not impressed with this Arden version
This is obviously not a review of the play itself since the play gets 5 stars whether you like it or not (I happen to over the years come to like it less and less but it is nonetheless one of Shakespeare's greatest and best-known plays). The Arden editions came highly recommended to me by someone who has a Master's de...

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...

Another great installment in the series
These books are an amazing series. They really provide a true spy series appropriate for young children. The "spies" are part of the GPF - Global Protection Force - an international spy ring devoted to promoting justice and made up entirely of kids. The books have great gadgets - this one features a Power Pogo Stick...

Better than I expected! Wow!
This book is definitely worth reading for any Austen Fan<br />1. First, the concept is fascinating. Instead of writing a sequel, this book is a variation - taking a pivotal point in the story and rewriting the story as if the characters had made a different choice but a choice consistent with the original storyline. ...

The title about says it all. 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.

Though there are some mystery series available for young kids, there are no secret agent or spy series. And this one is great.

As a vegetarian for almost 30 years, this was the cookbook I had always been waiting for. For inexplicable reasons, France appears to be anti-vegetarian.

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." Without necessarily focusing on it, the book helps expands a child's exposure to more complex ways of writing and using language and more complex vocabulary.<br /><br />For example the first story is about B...

This is a fun colorful book enjoyed by my 2 1/2 year old who really loves music and dancing. The words have a very jazzy and hip flow though the rhyme is sometimes forced and references not clear or easy to decipher in the accompanying pictures. Text is not easy but not beyond a young child's grasp (and how many book...

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.
