Fun romp in the early twenties.......2007-10-06
Carola Dunn has created a fun 'heroine' in Daisy. The stories are well plotted, and the settings are well crafted. Altogether an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.
A great Sophmore Effort.......2007-08-16
The second in the Daisy Dalrymple Mystery series, this book continues with Daisy going to another acquaintance's house to write about their house. This time, however, the matriarch of the house doesn't appreciate Daisy's personality. Not long after arriving, things get worse when Daisy is present when the body of a missing parlourmaid is discovered. Alec is called in and Daisy proceeds to try to help.
This book continues to develop the characters of Phillip Petrie, Daisy, and Alec Fletcher. It develops the track of Alec and Daisy's attraction to each other, as well as a developing friendship between Alec and Phillip. Ms. Dunn's storytelling is fun and light. An excellent British cozy!
Disappointing.......2003-01-29
I was pretty disappointed with #2 in the Daisy Dalrymple series. The mystery doesn't start to unfold until about half way through the novel-- the rest is just set-up. When things finally do get rolling, I wasn't very engrossed by the mystery, and found the final resolution anticlimactic.
A Fun Second Mystery.......2002-02-03
The Honorable Daisy Dalrymple is working on her second article for Town and Country Magazine. This time, she's been invited to profile Occles Hall by a friend from school. Lady Valeria isn't completely happy about Daisy's presence, but agrees to let her continue. While touring the winter garden, the discovery of a dead bush leads to the discovery of a body. Grace Moss, the parlor maid, was presumed to have run away two months ago. When Lady Valeria pressures the local police into arresting one of the estate gardeners, Daisy's observations convince her that an innocent man has been arrested. She calls her friend Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher to come help, but can they solve a murder that's two months old?
This is the second book in the Daisy Dalrymple series, set in 1923 England. It's a cozy with an emphasis on character and interviewing the suspects over tons of action. But don't misunderstand; it's a great read. Lady Valeria is a strong character, and watching the other characters try to work around her is lots of fun. The pace of the story doesn't lag, with lots of new information and complications coming on a regular basis. Daisy and Alec's relationship is also very fun to watch, as they are not willing to admit to any feelings between them.
If you're looking for a book with lots of shoot-outs and close calls, look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a good mystery with great characters and an intriguing plot, this is the series for you.
Fun and interesting!!!.......2001-12-03
This mystery, set in 1920's London is a great mystery novel that is not cluttered with gore and sexual innuendos. It's interesting and fun. I especially enjoyed the endearing flirtations between Daisy and Alec. Their interactions are a nice change from the often crassness of today's t.v. You won't find much to stress you out here, everything fits into a neat package by the end of the book. It's a great way to relax and be taken away from daily life. And Daisy's such a great gal! I really loved it! Check out Carola Dunn's other Daisy Dalrymple mysteries. They're all great!

A new world of wonder!.......1999-01-05
This book is great if you want a new Heroes world, or Rifts world to play in. It has a lot of need ideas, characters, equipment, and weapons. It lists some of the conversions for taking Heroes powers to Rifts, but leaves out most of the new ones. It would have been better if they would have just added the conversions for the new powers, and not reprinted the conversions for the old ones. The do offer the idea that you can use the ones given as a bases of the powers that where not converted. Over all it is a good book, with only some minor problems. It does have one new power that was left out of the Heroes Unlimited 2nd Ed. book.
Book Description
Replace Rejection and Fear with Self-Respect
Almost everyone feels shy or slightly stressed in certain kinds of situations -- with new people, on a job interview, or on a first date. Jonathan Berent has helped thousands who suffer from shyness become calm, confident, and socially adept. He shows how even extremely shy people can overcome the low self-esteem and frustration that settle in after years of social disappointments and rejection, and gradually move toward mastery of the situations they find most difficult.
* Learn about treatment for adults, teenagers, and children (with special advice for parents)
* Practice specific goal-setting exercises and new treatment techniques
* Overcome symptoms that block careers, relationships, and personal fulfillment
* Conquer the entire range of problems -- from mild shyness to crippling social phobias
* Achieve lasting self-esteem
Through interactive exercises and supportive, encouraging words, Beyond Shyness gives shy people a new chance in the social world, a chance at ease in situations that have long been agonizing. Berent shows how to instill a healing confidence and replace rejection with real self-respect.
Customer Reviews:
A Great Success Story.......2006-06-28
This book helped me tremendously. A large part was how Berent gets you to look at yourself and understand that this is a behavior that can be changed through self-analysis and practice. I read the book about 3 years ago. Before that, I, without really knowing it, avoided social situations or talking in front of people at work. This was hindering my career. Once I realized this, using the book, I planned a change in behavior and started to overcome some of my fears. This lead to a promotion about 2 years ago, and then, near the end of last year, I was able to seize a once in a lifetime opportunity to start my own business. So far, so good! Thanks Jon!
This book saved me.......2004-08-24
With this book and the Beyond Shyness self-help audio program, I pulled myself up out of a world of shame and guilt and frustration into a world of logic, compassion and clarity at a level I've never knew existed. I have a totally new understanding of my fellow man and have virtually rid myself of the critical, judgmental mindset that used to isolate me from anyone knew.
this is good !!.......2001-08-22
i have read this book some months ago and its impression is still on me.when i have to make a decisuion i also think what this book will advice me.i had been a SP/SAD many years and read a lot of books and this is ,i think ,one of the 3 best . its style isnt too clinicaly . it also help me to understand things that related to other problem of mine which i didnt knew that i suffer from (dependent personality). when you read it doesnt make you to fill that you have a defect in your brain but that you have some wrong behavior that you have to change(for your own good). it also have good advices for parents of shy people-something that i didnt see in other books.
very recommende.buy it yesterday !
Highly Recommended.......2000-04-08
I high recommend this book. Author notes the underlying causes of the problem. Then list all of the fears one can face(very authoritive exprience). And finally steps you through to overcome the problem. Very practicable. Highly recommended.
A good book.......1999-09-12
Being a senior in college, I decided to write a thesis that dealt with my major of Behavioral Psychology. Indeed, I began work on the subject of shyness and social depression and started to read all of the books that I could find on the topic. In terms of pure information this book was the not the best, but in terms of helping to lift the spirits of the reader, I give this book full honors. I am not shy, but I believe this book can help people who are.
Customer Reviews:
Perfectly fine unless you need to lose weight.......2003-08-21
I'm all for simple, straightforward, easy recipes, and the ones in this book definitely fit the bill. I like the author's down-home, friendly style. The only problem is, her recipes are very down-home too - they almost seem outdated, as if they were created back in the slow cooker's original heyday, the 1970s or so (actually I think people ate more healthy than this in the 70s). Obviously the author and her family have no weight problems and can eat what they want. The recipes are hearty and easy, but be prepared for lots of full-fat ingredients and everything we're always renovating our recipes for nowadays. I flagged a lot of recipes in this book to make, but only as special treats. I couldn't use this book for daily meals.
Another useful and well written cookbook.......2003-03-28
Excellent cookbook using "normal" ingredients that can be found in almost any kitchen. I love being able to put ingredients in the slow cooker and finding a tasty, home cooked meal at the end of the day. The slow cooker is a lifesaver and Carlean Johnson's cookbook is too.
Book Description
One of Scotland's most irresistible wonders, the Cairn Terrier is as active and industrious as he is charming and sweet, As a home companion, show dog, and, of course, terrier, the Cairn Terrier fits into most living situations and consistently steals the hearts of owners, judged and everyone else he meets. For the owner or family seeking a bright, easy-care canine pal dressed up in a rugged package, the Cairn Terrier is a perfect choice.
Written by long-time fancier, Robert Jamieson, this colorful introductory guide provides discussions on breed history, characteristics and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and showing. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup's arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems. In addition to an authoritative, comprehensive text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive.
Customer Reviews:
Great Book, Very Informative.......2007-08-14
This book is fantastic, I held off on buying the first book that popped up on a Cairn search because the review mentioned how impersonal it was once they actually read it. I'm very glad I decided to get this book instead. Not only does it include what to generally expect when buying a puppy and raising a dog, the author also supplies his own personal insights into what to expect when buying this particular breed. He follows the life of your new Cairn from puppyhood to seniorhood. This book is fantastic and it's something to keep as a reference throughout the life of your new friend.

Buy Barrow's Cairn Terrier book.......2007-09-17
because it contains the most concise information and is also a good buy. When I sell my Cairn Terrier puppies, I always send a Barrow's Cairn Terrier book. The book is included with the purchase of the puppy to help the owner answer all their questions in regard to their new Cairn Terrier puppy. I also consult it myself for answers to questions. The pictures of the Cairn Terriers in the book are of good quality and variety.
A good book on the cute critters known as Cairns.......2007-06-08
This is a great book! I love the pictures, and it's a very good book for any Cairn owner, whether a newbie or not. I highly recommend it.
I Wasn't at All Disappointed.......2007-02-17
This book wasn't exactly what I thought it would be like. It is very short and doesn't have lots of specific details. It is however an exellent source overall. One great thing about it not having lots of details is that it is short and very easy to read the entire thing rather than just skim certain sections. I found the grooming section very helpful and informative. However I would have liked a little more information in the training section. Also I would have liked more details in handling those difficult puppy moments such as when they try to bite. I loved that this book is completely tailored to the cairn terriers rather than it being a general dog book. I definitely was not disappointed.
excellent for the small amout of pages........2006-07-08
I was really happy with the book. There were topics not mentioned in the larger books. The pictures of the Cairns are really good.
Very Informative, great pictures.......2003-08-04
This is a very informative book. It takes you from A - Z. It is also a great reference book. I would hightly reccomend this book to anyone who is thinking of adopting a Cairn Terrier. This is a good book for breeders to suggest for someone to read before adopting a Cairn.
Customer Reviews:
New owners guide is useful to New cairn terrier owners.......2007-07-26
I purchased this book after adopting a one year old Cairn Terrier. I feel the book has been very helpful in giving me insight into the breed in terms of training, grooming and socialization. A bonus is the beautiful photos found throughout the book. I would recommend this to all new Cairn owners or those contemplating a Cairn puppy.
A Little Disappointing.......2005-01-13
Considering the status of the author's kennel, I found the book to be a let-down. It honestly seemed like a generic book on dogs used as a template with only an added Cairn-specific paragraph or two at most per chapter. In the majority of the text it looks like the words "the dog" were just replaced with "the Cairn Terrier".
I was looking for much more from this author. For example in the chapter covering health issues, the advice on routine care for a Cairn's ears is "ask your veterinarian". Gee thanks! Isn't there any advice you could print to educate me as well? My vet isn't a Cairn breeder or owner, he really doesn't know a lot of breed-specific issues and that's what I'd hoped this book could provide. The same with grooming. The book just says that the Cairn is the "lazy man's terrier" as far as coat. Very little is given about the unique care and maintenance a Cairn's coat requires except a discussion of a name brand of stripping knife.
The photographs are lovely and abundant. The text is well written, and good basic information, it's just not deep with Cairn detail. There are a few spots where the author's love and knowledge of the breed shines out, for example in the discussion of obedience that says a Cairn's response to obedience commands ranges from "no" to "make me" to "make it worth my while".
All in all, a book worth having on my shelf but if I was using it to evaluate whether a Cairn was the dog for me or as my only reference for behavior and care issues, I'd feel I didn't have enough material.
great book!.......2004-08-18
this book is really good. i loved the variety in pictures (and so did my friends). it has the right amount of information and is organized well. i got this book one day before i bought my cairn terrier which i'd been considering getting and the information here really confirmed that this was the right dog for me. i am also going to get a training book but for those wanting to know about this breed this is a complete book. i highly recommend this !!
Customer Reviews:
Quick and Easy!.......2001-07-14
This book is a quick and easy reference to the cairn terrier. For potentional cairn owners, this would be a good book for someone who hasn't yet decided to get one. You will find out what you NEED to know about them.
Customer Reviews:
Not for regular people.......2005-09-18
Unless you are going to breed or show, don't buy this book. Three of the chapters aren't even written by the author. Breeding history and standards make up most of the book. The functional sections give very little useful information.
The Cairn Terrier.......2004-03-03
This book is a must for all cairn enthusiasts, breeder and pet owner alike. Very comprehensive, covering all aspects of care and breeding. The quality of the hundreds of glossy, colored pictures is amazing. If you only have money to buy one cairn book, this is the one!
Recommended by breeders..........2000-10-27
this book is one of the best books on the market in years. It is extremely well illustrated with gorgeous photos. It's easy to read and understand and yet is as comprehensive as the Cairn Terrier is complex. It belongs on the holiday list of every current or prospective Cairn owner.
Why doesn't this book come up with the initial search?.......2000-10-27
All the reviews you post on this book are five stars. Why doesn't it come up when I search for Cairn Terriers? I had to search for Cairns and the author to get it to come up on your search. This is by far one of the best books I've seen on the Cairn Terrier in years. People won't be able to judge for themselves if they aren't offered the opportunity to buy it. It's extremely well illustrated and informative, has many excellent photos and, as a breeder of Cairn Terriers, I feel it should be on every Cairn owner's holiday list.
All around great book!.......1999-07-13
Not only does this make a great coffee table book with beautiful, high quality photos, but it is chock full of good information about this lovely breed. The section on grooming is especially informative.
