    1 out of 5 stars Funny.......2006-03-25

    I'll save you some money on this one. How can you live in Hawaii on $1000 a month? Get three roommates or live in a tent. Most studio and one bedroom apartments where I live in Hawaii are $1000+ a month.

    2 out of 5 stars misleading title.......2005-10-20

    The book is actually about the big island and not Hawaii as a whole. Little mention anywhere on how to live comfortably on $1,000. The other book mentioned "So You want to live is Hawaii" is so much better. Amazing that this book is a new addition at all.

    2 out of 5 stars Could be reduced to a 5-10 page pamphlet.......2003-03-06

    For starters, I was dissappointed to find out that this book is mainly about the Big Island of Hawaii, although it devotes a few pages in the back of the book about the other islands. Another caution: there are many parcels of cheap land on the Big Island due to the volcanic, and seismic hazards to these lands, and one's exposure to vog, risk of tsunamis, or living with lots of rain. Many areas of the Big Island lack electricity and city water. The author of this book makes little metntion of these hazards and inconveniences, unfortunately. There is also much "filler" in this book, things which, like the other review said, one could easliy find in a phone book or online. Nonetheless, there are some interesting tips scattered throughout the book. Overall, I think this book could have been reduced to a 5-10 page pamphlet with no loss in its utility. I have also read Affordable Paradise and So You Want to Live in Hawaii, which, as far as I know these are the only books devoted specifically to this topic. However, these books were somewhat lacking as well (in different respects), so you will need to consult many other sources in your quest to decide if you want to live in Hawaii.

    2 out of 5 stars Current edition is getting to be out of date........2002-02-08

    The book is nicely written but it needs more frequent updating if it is to be of much use. Hawaii is changing more rapidly than perhaps the author would like to admit.

    Too many pages devoted to names and address of food markets etc. This information can better be found in phone books and such.

              Book Description

              Art is Work, lavishly illustrated with more than 500 full-color reproductions, is a comprehensive overview of legendary designer Milton Glaser's rich and varied oeuvre, a dazzling array of iconic work on well-known products, ranging from newspapers and magazines to toys, textiles, restaurant interiors, supermarkets, posters, album covers, and much, much more. An illuminating text accompanying these images offers a rare glimpse into his personal artistic philosophy and working methods. Art is Work reflects Milton Glaser's abundant gifts and is a fitting manifestation itself of the talents of one of the powerful and creative forces in design today.

              4 out of 5 stars Great for Students.......2002-03-24

              Milton Glaser has rightly been called a genius. With the exception of some printing issues (the only reason this doesn't get 5 stars), this is a great book. Besides cataloguing much of Glaser's work, the interviews and pieces which show the progression of his work are amazing. I'd highly recommend this to ANYONE involved in teh creative process, but especially to students who may not fully realize how the creative process can play out (and scoffs at the idea of multiple sketches and comps)

              4 out of 5 stars Glaser a genius, all designers need this.......2001-05-20

              I'd have rated it 5 stars save that the printer (I returned my first copy) has a few blotches and splotches here and there; not terrible, just improper). Milton Glaser was called a genius when he was inducted into the NY Art Directors Club Hall of Fame. He is! His conceptions are powerful and creative. His control of many illustration media, of typography from various eras and modes of thought, of decorative matter, his ability to endlessly combine them, are a lesson to experienced designers, illustrators, and art directors, and a stimulus to those who get by on a few cheap tricks. The work is gorgeous, the text is instructional, the overall effect energizing. Buy it.

              5 out of 5 stars Magnificent!.......2000-12-06

              From his famous Dylan poster to the iconic "I Love New York" logo, Glaser is probably (with the exception of Saul Bass and Paul Rand) the most recognized graphic designer of the 20th century.

              Glaser is a true renaissance man- blending illustration, graphic design, signage and interior design. His work today still resonates and vibrates with the same intensity and passion as his days with the Pushpin era.

              With his latest book, Milton Glaser once again proves he is the maestro of design and illustration. It is filled with case studies, personal captions and wonderful illustrations and photographs of his work.

              Whether you are a student or a professional-buy this book. It will truly inspire you.

                Book Description

                Here is the first comprehensive review of a survival issue that touches the lives of a majority of Americans -- but hasn't won as much of our active concern as it deserves. Nearly six out of ten U.S. households own at least one dog or cat. As the new century began, over 130,000,000 pets were sharing our lives. Yet every year an estimated 5,000,000 shelter orphans -- healthy, lovable young animals who would make happy and devoted pets -- are doomed to premature death simply for want of sufficient homes.

                What can all of us who keep and care about companion animals do to save those "surplus" lives? A great deal. But until now there's been no single, accessible source to enlighten America's pet-owning public on the many large and small ways we can help. This informal and inclusive guide, written by a fellow pet owner with no institutional affiliation, focuses on three prime areas in which thoughtful dog and cat lovers can make a dramatic difference: how we acquire our pets; how scrupulously we manage their birth control; and -- perhaps most important today -- how committed we are to keeping them with us for life.

                  Martin Miller is a legend in antiques publishing. In 2000, the man who started Miller's Antiques Price Guide and co-founded the Lyle Antiques Review brought you his best idea yet: a full-color illustrated guide to antiques prices, based on retail outlets. Following the success of the first three editions of this groundbreaking guide, this year's edition continues the high quality, full-color standard of the first book. Retail prices are a better indication of actual value than the wild variations in price which can be a feature of auction sales, and, in handy paperback format, this is the perfect companion for your antiques hunts, as well as an excellent reference source for identifying and valuing your own antiques. Including extensive entries for collectables - the increasingly popular 'antiques of the future' - and a guide to importing antiques to the USA, the Antiques Source Book contains everything you need to know about buying.

                    Imagine savoring the taste of your own homegrown tomato, fresh from the vine, in February! How about harvesting fresh organic salad greens year-round, or stepping into a blossom-laden tropical paradise on the coldest of winter days? Today, greenhouses and sunrooms are real living spaces where gardeners spend as much time with a book and a cup of coffee as they do with a watering can and a pair of pruning shoes. In this fully revised edition of a best-selling classic, veteran gardener Shane Smith embraces this new lifestyle approach to greenhouse gardening.

                    5 out of 5 stars The best book for experienced gardeners new to greenhouses.......2007-09-16

                    Actually the title says it all. I wish I had time to read lots of books
                    about greenhouse gardening but I don't. An experienced gardener, I'm new to greenhouse gardening and struck gold when I bought this book. It isn't dumbed down and is fast and fun to read.

                    The book doesn't begin at square one but does explain the important differences between gardening in an outside
                    garden and a greenhouse. One example; the reason fans are needed during the day (while photo synthesis is taking place) is to prevent a CO2 deficient envelope from surrounding the leaves. Also, explaination of
                    how to pollinate in an environment with no birds or insects is helpful.
                    Varieties of vegetables and flowers are discussed and why certain ones are
                    better suited. Trouble shooting and "when things go wrong" chapters are
                    good. Also, I learned more than I thought was possible about light and the different qualities of light plants need. Again, advice on when a
                    less expensive alternative will work was very welcome.


                    I'm so happy I bought this book BEFORE our greenhouse is complete because
                    the chapters on design and environment have given me a master plan for the space we have. Also, throughout the book are money saving ideas and
                    words of warning from experience. This author knows his subject inside out, is very good at communicating and doesn't use 100 words when 50 will do. Buy the book-you won't be disappointed!

                    4 out of 5 stars Great Buy.......2007-09-10

                    I purchased this book on previous recommendations listed and am very pleased that I did. Great book for those just starting to think about using a greenhouse or for someone who needs a few extra tips. Well written with good descriptions.

                    5 out of 5 stars M. Guenard.......2007-08-26

                    This book is an absolute MUST for any Northern gardener!

                    Before I start raving about the different indispensible topics covered in this book, I will also mention that in the spring of 2006 I also bought "Gardening in Your Greenhouse, by Mark Freeman".

                    I`ve waited a year - virtually two growing seasons - and I'm ready to give my review(s). This is my first and only review so far on this site.

                    A year ago this spring, I had just ordered my 6 ml. polyethylene steel frame greenhouse & I read Freeman's book first. I was so discouraged I almost cancelled the order. When you live in Northeastern Vermont, the climate is jokingly referred to as "10 months of winter & 2 months bad skiing" (zone 4/sometimes 3 depending on the year). The whole point of having a greenhouse is to extend the seasons but Freeman's view on this subject seems to be; "Don't bother! When it gets cold it gets cold and unless you want to spend a fortune, you'll just have to live with it."(Not a direct quote but that's the gist you get from his book).

                    "The Greenhouse Gardener's Companion" on the other hand gives you all the tools you need to beat back the elements and enjoy the fruits of your labor when everything outside that flimsy sheet of plastic has long since died.

                    Shane Smith goes into extensive detail on how to build "Thermal Mass" in your greenhouse - the natural, non-electric heat sinks that will keep your greenhouse warm; barrels of water, jugs of water, brick, stone, gravel, etc. He also tells you exactly how to calculate just how much water (or other materials) you'll need to keep your greenhouse above acceptable growing temperatures using the square footage and the thickness of the glazing and of course your growing zone. He also gives spectacular examples of his research; sub-zero conditions and the actual temperatures inside greenhouses using appropriate thermal mass; e.g. a solar greenhouse in Wyoming on a night with -30F temps. with a 15mph wind & the temp inside the greenhouse at 32F heated only by thermal mass.

                    In the summer there's the opposite problem - how to keep the greenhouse cool. Smith describes the science of airflow & how to calculate the size and position of your lower and upper air vents to naturally siphon the heat through the space and create a natural cooling system (without fans!).

                    Unfortunately, I had set up my greenhouse before I read Smith's book, or I would have done a lot of things differently (at that point I had only read Freeman's book and was working on dogged determination and not much else). If I had read the "Greenhouse Gardener's Companion" I would have also put insulation around my 3-foot deep gravel base for instance. I had installed 6 vents near the bottom, which didn't seem to do anything to disperse the heat - but once I put in new vents according to Smith's calculations, the greenhouse virtually cooled itself. I do run one household fan near the upper vent but today I forgot; the outside temperature was 85F & the greenhouse temperature was only 92F. Need I say more!

                    Smith's book also covers all the essentials of greenhouse gardening including the unique problems of pollinating in a closed space and recommends self-pollinating varieties & other tricks to get things growing robustly. One of the other reviewers has suggested that no one would actually read this cover to cover, well I did, and it was a worthwhile read.

                    But the proof is in the pudding isn't it? In my zone, planting frost tender plants isn't recommended until the first or second week of June, with frost still possible. Well, I had almost all my seedlings in flats in my greenhouse by late April (this being my first spring I held back a little - I did keep my frost tender seedlings inside). On the other end of the scale, last fall we had tomatoes from the greenhouse in late October, and salad greens in November. This year I've added more thermal mass so who knows?

                    My conclusion: if you're a gardener who wants to keep growing when the nay sayers say you can't - buy The Greenhouse Gardener's Companion.

                    We just built a Growing Dome and needed a few books on greenhouse growing. This is the first one we grab for answers. Shane Smith is so complete, and he can relate to the extremes in our Western weather, affecting the greenhouse. Love this book. A great purchase.

                    5 Stars, to me that means read on my friend. Depending on your level of skill, I have none, but the desire was there. Ok, I got the Greenhouse when I moved in 14x14 freestanding, baseboard heat and plumbed, the owner was dead and nothing was hooked up or working. What do I do with it. what was it worth, should I tear it down or restore it. No one wants someone elses, headache or was it soon to be my white elephant. I needed help! I fixed the automatic ventilation, but how do I decide whats next and what's not. This book came recommended for getting my head on straight and not looking to far and checking first things first. Hey was the right kind of light getting through the 30 yr old fiberglass? What if the thing is all wrong... This book eased my mind into the basics and still has plenty to offer. Good reading if your planning or have adopted as I did. I'd loan you mine, but of course I am keeping it. I think you could save time and money.

                    A fully illustrated reference book for companion planting like no other. Has pros and cons of companion planting, what works and what doesn't with detailed IPM procedures and how to use them. Used mine so much its falling apart, wished they did a reprint of this great old classic.

                    I had to drive 45 minutes just to get a glance at this wonderful book. Ms. Carr has done a beautiful job of reviewing what meager evidence there is on companion plants and their effectiveness. There are some helpful drawings and an "encyclopedia" section for quick reference. Truly well done, and, unfortunately, currently unavailable everywhere I've looked!

                    The New Hampshire Gardener's Companion is the best practical gardening guide that I have ever read. It confirmed much of the knowledge that I've acquired in 23 years of trial and error gardening in the Granite State. Additionally, I picked up new information about organic gardening, native plants, and more. The book is a must for novices (you can save yourself time and money.) For the seasoned gardener your suspicions will be confirmed and some "holes" in your gardening data base could be filled in. This book should be sold in nurseries throughout the state.

                    For old hands or inexperienced newcomers, A Desert Gardener's Companion is the essential reference for creating and maintaining a bountiful and environmentally sensitive Southwestern gardens. Master Gardener Kim Nelson provides a wealth of information in an easy-to-use seasonal format, covering what to do week-by-week in the desert climates of Southern California, Arizona, southern Nevada, southern New Mexico, and West Texas. Nelson covers everything from planting agave americana to mulching melons to adding zinc chelates to desert soils: one hundred sixty specific topics in all. Delightful drawings by noted nature artist Paul Mirocha demonstrate proper planting and pruning techniques, suggest complimentary landscape groupings, and illustrate specific low water-use plants. No other single volume provides as much useful advice about selecting, planting, and caring for such a wide variety of plants and gardens as Nelson packs into A Desert Gardener's Companion. Her informative and entertaining prose reflects her years of successful, hands-on gardening experience in both Southern California and Arizona and her wealth of knowledge gained as chair of the Plant Clinic at the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension in Tucson.

                    5 out of 5 stars Finally, a practical guide for the desert.......2001-06-02

                    There has been a rush on new books about desert gardening lately, but most of them don't contain the secrets required to be successful. A Desert Gardener's Companion provides practical, only-learned-through-experience knowledge. In the manner of a confidante, it relays the intimate wisdom gained from a close, day-by-day relationship with a garden in the desert climate. With ecological explanations of why things happen, the suggestive advice makes good sense. This book could only have been written by a Master Gardener with a real love for their garden and the earth.
