I read his books as a teen and loved them. Bought the whole set for my grandsons, [teens]. They laughed until they cried. [so did I].

5 out of 5 stars Heartwarming.......2007-04-11

This book has many heartwarming stories. It really discribes the way veterinary work was handled years ago. Mr. Herriot is a great story teller.

5 out of 5 stars Wondeful and Warm.......2007-02-21

This book has been sitting on my bookshelf for a while because I passed it over for other newer books... How sorry I am I waited this long! This book is so good... the stories about the different dogs are heartwarming, and heartwrenching...they are filled with almost any dog immaginable and are a delight to read especially for dog lovers. I can't recommend this book enough...

5 out of 5 stars fast and business-like.......2007-01-16

The book arrived in VERY short time, and it was
getting so close to Christmas! I wrapped and mailed
it to a cousin.

4 out of 5 stars 50 Warm And Comforting. Hug Your Dog!.......2006-08-13

Do you have a passion for animals? If so, you'll inhale this book. The authors heartfelt emotions can be felt on every page. He clearly adored the animals he cared for over the decades. He described the colorful European countryside, the diverse pets, and the people who owned them in fine detail. Each story is accompanied by an ink sketch that added some warm visuals. My favorite stories were of "Tricki Woo", "Judy The Nurse Dog", "Granville Bennett", and "Cigar." What was nice is that since the stories were broken up, you could not lose your place when you took a break. Yet, I only took one because this was a fast page turner. I have had several dogs in my life and these are the most honest depictions of dog behavior I have read thus far. All animal lovers will enjoy this. Time to hug my dog and adopt another.

5 out of 5 stars There Aren't Enough Stars in the New England Sky for this Book.......2007-03-21

This series is the best series I have ever read in my life! Each book keeps getting better and more cozier, even though you don't think a book can get any better than that.

The book starts off when best friends, 6th graders Nicky and Charlie, are shooting spitballs and are expelled by their teacher, who is the mean wife of the mean police chief. Because they are expelled, they miss the field trip into the woods. But in the woods, a body is found...

Nicky's mother, Peggy Jean, is the mayor of the small New England town. She and her next door neighbor, Charlie's mother Lavinia, are best friends. I absolutely adore the two families and their relationship. I love Nicky and Charly. I love the cozy atmosphere and the coffee and cookies.

Max is an important and interesting character. He is the one who came to the depressed town and revived it into a colonial village and made it thrive. He has some very interesting people working for him.

Papa Luigi and his family are also very important characters that have interesting roles.

Not only is the atmosphere cozy, but the story line/plot/clues are very clever. All the clues fit together and make a very good, entertaining story.

I just cannot sing enough praise for this awesome book and the entire series. This wonderful author has remarkable talent.

5 out of 5 stars Pumpkin pie flavored New England sleuth cozy.......2006-09-03

Death of a trickster takes place in a New England village called Cobb's Landing where the mayor is a witty woman named Peggy. It's a small town, dressed up to resemble a colonial village, at the peak of Indian summer excitedly awaiting Halloween. This is the second book in the series and they are so addictive that I hope Mrs. Borden will keep writing as long as her imagination keeps spinning. I absolutely adored the whole feel of autumn, the chilly morning, falling red leaves, wool sweaters, Peggy and Lavinia her best friend drinking caramel apple cider, her cat Pie, the pumpkins being carves, the cakes and cookies they baked and the crisp sultry breeze sweeping summer away and setting the village up for mid fall. This book made me feel very cozy and trickled dreams of pumpkins and baked goodies, warm cocoa and reading wrapped in a warm blanket. I was sad when it was actually over and the mystery revealed as it's a short book spanning two hundred pages and can be read in a day or two but I savored it and can't wait to read the third one that is all ready out, it deals with the next holiday, Thanksgiving.

The mystery begins when Nicky, Peggy's son along with Lavinia's son Charlie get in trouble at school for throwing spit balls at each other. They miss the filed trip to the Alsop woods but learn that a body has been found. As it turns out it was the school skeleton used in science classes dressed up as count Dracula. On a few more occasions pranks are following Peggy and she needs to sort out what is happening and who would do such a thing. Cobb's Landing is populated by some warm and some whacky characters. There's Papa Luigi, the owner of the woods and his son Lew, his wife Gina and their daughter Maria. The new police chief, grumpy Henry, his cold wife Carol, their bully son Roger, fellow villagers and shop and diner owners, Max an interesting character who materializes out of nowhere and no one knows what he is up to, Ian and Missy, who seem to get on Peggy's nerves as she gets close to Ian whom Peggy likes and Rob, her childhood crush who is the new police office. When a body is found at the end of the pumpkin float, no one can understand why this person is dead and why would kill them. It's up to Peggy to use her knowledge of a place she grew up in, her Mayor powers and her excellent snooping abilities.

I have really enjoyed this delicious mystery but I wish the part where the killer was revealed was longer. The ending had lots of more plots twisted together but they were all explained and man o man, was I surprised! The author does a great job describing the nature, the air, the sun, the whole small town scenery and makes me miss the characters. Lately I have found myself enjoying all the new mystery books coming out from various writers as there are books about food, coffee, tea, spas and even a cute village such as Cobb's Landing. I can't wait to follow up Borden's character in her next cozy mystery.

4 out of 5 stars Fun, Light Small Town Cozy Series.......2006-07-15

In the 2nd book in the Peggy Jean Turner Mystery series, things are definitely looking up for both Peggy Jean (P.J.) and her hometown of Cobb's Landing, New England. The town has been turned into a colonial village, and is quickly becoming a tourist attraction. The townspeople dress in period costumes, and no modern equipment is on display in town during "town hours" (including cell phones and satellite dishes). P.J. grumbles a bit over the costume she must wear while working in her hardware store, but even she cannot complain about the renewed life and money pouring into her beloved town.

It is almost Halloween, and soon pranks start occurring that raise a few eyebrows. The high school's skeleton shows up around town dressed in costume, and P.J's son is suspended for throwing spitballs. It all seems harmless until an elderly member of the town, Papa Luigi, goes missing, and is found tied up and ill in a hidden cave. More disturbing, however, is the body of the man found dead next to him in the cave. Papa Luigi cannot remember what happened, but he pleads innocence to the murder of the chief of police's son. P.J. jumps in to prove that Papa Luigi, a longtime friend of her family, is innocent, and to make sure that the Halloween festivities are enjoyed by all of the tourists that have come to save her town.

This is a fun, light cozy series and I really enjoy the characters, the mysteries, and the setting. The only thing that I didn't care for was the nicknames (P.J. for a mayor's name seemed too casual), and the name "Lovey" for her best friend was a bit silly for me. Otherwise, I loved the storyline, and was intrigued by the character of Max. If you like small town cozies, give this series a try.

The first book in the series is called "Death of a Tart". Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Love this cute series.......2006-02-02

this cute series is fun and believable. Small town charm, weird and facinating characters just make it that much more of a good read. A series you can enjoy and feel good when you have finished.

4 out of 5 stars A neat New England cozy .......2004-11-01

Halloween is right around the corner and people are getting ready to celebrate. The town has taken an economic upswing ever since they converted the place into a colonial village where residents dress in period costumes. Tourists stay at the restored button factory converted into an inn. Mayor Peggy Turner, who also owns a hardware store, is at loggerheads with the new Chief of Police Henry Cartwright, who she believes is impugning on her territory.

Henry thinks that whoever is stealing the skeleton Buddy from the lab and leaving him dressed up in clothes so he looks like a corpse should fall under his jurisdiction, but Peggy takes care of it because she knows it is silly schoolboy pranks. When ailing elderly Luigi Alsop vanishes, Peggy organizes the search. They find him in a cave next to Henry's dead son the murder weapon near Luigi. Many folks believe Luigi killed the lad because the deceased was harassing and terrifying the older man's granddaughter. Peggy thinks otherwise and sets out to prove her assertion.

This New England cozy contains a very interesting mystery because of the attitudes of the locals who pull together in good and bad times. Neighbors know they can count on one another for help (a friend in need is not a pest as it seems in most places today). Peggy as the activist mayor symbolizes all that is good in this small town. Readers will also gain a feel for life in a New England village, but it is the unusual situations that Peggy and her best friend seem to and in find themselves in that make for a fun regional tale.

              5 out of 5 stars Authentic Cuban Cooking at it's Simplest.......2007-10-08

              Being a first generation US-born Cuban American I remember fondly the days of visiting my grandparents in Miami and partaking of my grandmother's amazing cooking - Ropa Vieja, Arroz con Pollo, Picadillo, and the list goes on. When my mother gave me this cookback back in the early 90's it brought back so many of those great memories sitting of on the back porch in Miami and waiting for my abuelita to finish the fried plantains and serve up the black beans and rice.

              Now, don't get me wrong. I am a huge fan of Nuevo Latino cooking. If you are looking for that here then I'm afraid you will need to look elsewhere. This book is all about down-home, authentic, Cuban cooking. The recipes are simple to prepare and just the way my abuelita made them (well, of course, hers were just a tad bit better).

              I highly recommend this cookbook to anyone who is looking to get a taste of old Cuba. Don't let the plain cover fool you. There are no pictures in this book, just a plethora of of amazing recipes and experiences.

              Enjoy!!!

              The big book of john deere tractors has a bunch of different types of tractors in all kinds of different styles. John deere tractors are very interesting.
              I really like reading about tractors they are very interesting to learn about. It seems like every time I read about a tractor I learn a new fact. One fact that I really like that it tells the exact year that they were made. As you go along you find new ways to work on older John deere tractors.

              I really liked this book because I like learning new things about tractors. I like looking and reading these books because you can find tractors that you may own yourself. It was very interesting to know all those facts.

              Nothing was very confusing about this book I really enjoyed this book. There was only one confusing thing it was the diagrams. Other tan that there was nothing confusing about this book.

Do you sell glass lamp globes. I have a pink lamp with only the bottom half. I am looking for the top. It is pink with roses and a small covered wagon with a couple of stands of wheat around it. It is raised design that you have to look close to see.

              Book Description

              Cap off your wardrobe with a hat for every occasion—it’s one of the smallest, most creative projects to knit. Stay warm with a Nordic stocking cap or cool in summer straw. Have a fling with a Scottish tam. Or try a chenille helmet, a stylish cloche, a pansy beret, or a mosaic fez. Twenty-two in all.

              2 out of 5 stars A Disappointment.......2004-06-19

              The idea of this series of little books is great -- small books with patterns for small things. Pop them in your purse, and you can knit in waiting rooms and traffic jams. And of course, being a Vogue book, this one contains accurate, clear instructions with good photographs.
              But the patterns themselves are a disappointment. A jester's hat, a sort of crusader helmet, a Peruvian cap without the style of a real Peruvian cap -- these are some examples of the extreme. Those that are not extreme are old-fashioned: a long-tailed ski cap, a fisherman's hat so badly designed that even in the (doubtless beutifully knitted) example, the increases and decreases are obtrusive and ugly, a very ordinary watch cap.
              I'll probably carry this with me in the fall to make watch caps and berets for holiday gifts, but I wouldn't have bought it if I had seen inside it first.

              1 out of 5 stars Lots of really ugly hats.......2002-12-05

              I am kind of shocked at how many ugly hats the editors of Vogue could cram into this little book. I expect there to be a few --it is, afterall, a matter of taste--but I just couldn't believe page, after page, of hideousness. There are 2 or 3 okay looking hats in this book and the rest look like something you'd wear to a shriner's convention, or cover your teapot with. It is such ashame, as these little books are such a good idea. The Vogue knitting Mittens & gloves book is much better, if you can get passed the gloves on the cover. What were they thinking?

              3 out of 5 stars 50-50.......2002-10-03

              I like a few of the hats in this book, but for the most part was not impressed. I really had to wonder if anyone would wear a few of the patterns (a bit overdone on both color, patterning, and design).

              1 out of 5 stars Outdated and not the least stylish.......2001-12-04

              I was excited to receive this book because I have used Vogue Knitting patterns for years and loved how stylish and exciting they were.

              But when the book arrived, I was sorely disappointed. There are a lot of hats included, but most of them are, in my opinion, ugly. Most are based on old styles (circa 1960-1970) and I can't imagine anyone wearing them. A few patterns are okay....but mostly, this book left me stone cold.

              In fact, I went back to it this year, when preparing to knit hats for xmas presents for my friends and my opinion hasn't changed. So what am I knitting instead? A beautiful pattern featured in Vogue Knitting's winter 1993 issue.

              Note: this book was ordered before Amazon offered the peek inside feature. At least with this feature, if you like what you see, you can order it. If you're like me, I'm sure one of the other hat books they offer will suit you better.

              5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Hats & Caps.......2000-06-17

              This book contains a beautiful collection of patterns that encourage knitters to experiment with caps & hats of different styles, colors, and shapes. The photographs are clear and bright. The additional, smaller photos give you an idea of how each finished project should fit.

                Book Description

                Knitters who want portable projects (and what knitter doesn’t?) know that hats and scarves make perfect on-the-go garments. That’s why they’ll grab this marvelous designer collection, with 24 stylish examples made with the most fashionable chunky yarns. Aside from offering a wide array of amazing textures, hues, and fibers that feel and look great, chunkys make knitting faster, because the thicker the wool and the bigger the needle, the quicker the results. Get going on the Garter Striped Scarf, knitted with dynamic red and orange furry yarns. The dual-function hat and long, attached, braided scarf is simply fun. Or try a funky Bell Pattern Scarf, a delicate lacy scarf in mohair, a jaunty Highland Striped Beret and Scarf, and many other designs.

                1 out of 5 stars Bad investment.......2006-03-23

                I was attracted to the hat and scarf on the cover. When I opened the book, I was even more impressed with the fun look of the items. Boy, am I sorry I bought this book! I don't know if all the patterns are as bad as the one I tried because I haven't looked closely. You name it -- this pattern has everything wrong with it. It says decrease instead of increase and knit instead of purl. It leaves out instructions. It is overly complicated and ill-conceived. I can't figure out how this book went to press.

                3 out of 5 stars Not for the Beginner.......2005-01-24

                I got this book on the misguided notion that the chunky projects would be more beginner oriented. However, most projects require intermediate skill. There seems to be quite a lot of cabled hats and scarves here. The beginner level projects are things you can probably figure out on your own. There is one beginner level hat (on the cover) that looks interesting and I may make it soon. There are also these adorable baby hats (Ice Princess) with furry cuffs. I'd like to do something like that in adult sizes. The Water Lilies scarf is beautiful and is on my to-do list. The On the Fringe scarf may actually have some merit, but the color choices shown are soooo amazingly unfortunate, it's hard to get past the hideous-ness of it to see. All in all, I think the basics of a lot of these projects are in books you probably already own. But it's worth having if you can find a good sale price.

In emphasizing the competencies and skills needed by contemporary leaders, MANAGEMENT: CHALLENGES FOR TOMORROW'S Leaders translates theory into practice, showing students how to fully develop their skills in teamwork, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and adapting to change. The authors further broaden students' understanding by applying the concepts of management to the various functional areas of organizations of all sizes, illustrating that leaders emerge from all areas- production, finance, accounting, sales, and marketing.

                            1 out of 5 stars Interesting director, dull book.......2001-09-12

                            Lewis almost defines the idea of a cult director, since his work was exclusively in the b picture category and he never worked with big stars or big budgets. Except for the justly famous Gun Crazy, a wild film noir take on the Bonnie and Clyde story, and the talked about but more minor noir The Big Combo, most of Lewis' films are not well known and a lot of them are not good, though the director often tries to do something stylish or unexpected with some of the scenes. It's not surprising I guess that the only book on the man is this slim, expensive and not very detailed book. It's okay if you love Joseph H. Lewis movies and you want to spend 30-something dollars for a moderately extended interview and a filmography. The interviewer doesn't go very deep and you don't come away with a very good idea of what inspired Lewis or even many good anecdotes.

                            5 out of 5 stars Joseph H. Lewis Covered Beautifully by Nevins.......2000-04-26

                            Joseph H. Lewis was a superb film director, and Francis Nevins did an absolutely wonderful job of covering his career.
