Excellent.......2005-12-13
My wife, 3-year old son and I spent six months in London. We took 4 separate city guides with us, but consistently referred to the Unofficial Guide for the base of our information. Not only did we develop confidence in the recommendations (museums, restaurants, parks, transportation, and even medical assistance), we found the book easy to understand and navigate. I thank Lesley Logan and her publisher for an excellent book.
Thanks for the great guidebook!!.......2004-01-03
London turned out to be one of those places that I really enjoyed....and I believe it was made more enjoyable because we had done some research and planning before going. The Unofficial Guide provided information other than the mainstream stuff you read in all the other books. It added interested pieces of information that made even the planning process a pleasant one.
Careful using the voltage converter recommendation!.......2001-11-09
Page 67 of the book tells you to buy a voltage converter and that the input to the converter should be 110 and output is 220.'
WRONG. The input voltage INTO the converter from the plug is 220 volts, OUTPUT, into the US device, is 110 volts. Be CAREFUL with that recommendation.
Otherwise, a fairly typical unoffical guide - these City guides are useless for restaurants and hotels, there are so many dozens of nice local restaurants and hotels in every city in the world [except NYC which has maybe 20 decent hotels] thast I find you can save ALOT of money and get a nicer place just looking around a little.
As for prices, BE CAREFUL to check prices for things in the USA. PAY in POUNDS and use a credit card- example is the Heathrow-London train - EurRail Same thing applies to London tube, ...
Also, use your credit card to get cash in London, even with charges for cash advances and interest for a month, you'll save on getting ripped off at airport currency bootths or banks, esp. in the USA.
Great guide!.......2001-02-09
I just purchased this book after checking out 10 different London guide books at the library. This was by far my favorite! I have never been to London before and this has been the most helpful book I have used in planning my trip. It provides the very basic information, such as what line is the correct line at customs and currency information. Additionaly, it has tons of info, such as the exact cost of an attraction, restaurant, or hotel (no vague words or symbols), nearest tube stop, what time of day to go to the site to avoid crowds, lots of insider tips (ie. to avoid lengthy security checks, leave your bags homes when visiting Houses of Parliament), and approx time you should allow to see the site (I couldn't find this info in any other book and I was specifically looking for this tidbit). It also has ratings of appeal for each age group in addition to the authors own personal rating. For example, for Site X, it might give it 2 stars for preschooler, 2 stars for grade school, 3 stars for teens, 3 stars for young adults, 4 stars for adults over 30, and 4 stars for seniors. This is perfect for family planning. There are two minor reasons I did not give this book 5 stars: the author uses its own "zone" system (zones 1-12) to group together attractions, hotels, etc. This might work perfect for other cities and is a good idea, but since London has its own official Zone system for public transportation, this can be confusing for London firsttimers like myself who are still trying to figure out London's transportation system...you have to constantly remember when the author says zone 2, he doesn't mean London's official Zone 2. I wish the author had chosen a different word than "zone" for his own groupings. Also, I could not find any info about the changing of the guards nor about the Horse Guards (perhaps I just missed it?). No tourist guide book can be considered complete without this information. Nonetheless, this is my favorite guide book thus far and will definetly be with me on my trip to London in a few weeks.
A literate travel guide!.......2000-06-17
This book is worth the price of admission just for the History of London section. Wittily scribed, with a great - and fun - sense of place. Logan's style is breezy, economical, yet thorough. Three Cheerios for this London Guide written by a Yank!

Review.......2007-07-21
This is a fantastic book. I don't know where to begin. It tells the whole story of Apple and gives us a lot of info on the business/Apple side of the group. It is presented as interesting stories, and there are a lot of quotes from those involved. I have read a few hundred Beatle books, and this is in my top 5. If you want to hear about the music, though, the book will not be of much interest to you. This is about the business of Apple.
Required Reading for Fab Fanatics.......2007-01-29
This is a fantastic book. Detailed, well-researched and filled with the kind of arcana that this life-long Beatle fan loves. This is a history of the Apple Organization from its inception to today. It follows the careers of Apple employees, the few artists that were signed to the Apple record label, those signed to Apple music publishing and, of course, Beatles are found throughout. Based on research, but the author also conducted interviews with still living Apple staffers, artists, etc. Fascinating.

Beautiful but not much help.......2001-04-23
Every room in this book was gorgeous. However, unless you are a mural painter (or know one who will give you a break) or have a very large budget, then only about one third of the information contained in it will be helpful to you. Some of the rooms even required built-in nooks in the walls for the beds. It was a little more elaborate then I had anticipated--some of the designs painted on the walls were amazing, and there is no way someone who is not artistic (like myself) could even begin to attempt them.I just wanted some ideas for my daughter's room, not something that would make me sick because it was so beautiful and I couldn't do it! It is a great book, just be warned that you need a fairly large budget, or the artistic talent of Michelangelo.
Great ideas for a range of ages!.......2001-01-30
My husband and I have 3 children ranging from age 11 to age 7. We had several ideas about what we wanted and this book helped us to refine our ideas. The kids were very excited because they could look at pictures and discuss what they liked and didn't like about the suggestions.
My asthma has calmed down........2000-05-25
I have serious asthma, and my mom bought this book when it cametime to re-decorate my room, because there is a section for childrenwith asthma and other disabilities (like blind-ness, and kids in wheelchairs). I used to wheeze every night, and I couldn't fall asleep easily at all. Now, my mom made my room look really cool, and I can breathe easy. (For those of you who have the book, it's kind of like the jungle picture.) Thank you, Megan Connelly, you've helped me so much!
A must for new moms and dads.......2000-05-13
The perfect baby shower gift that will keep on giving until after they are grown. A lovely written and illustrated book.
"Smart Approach" is Wonderful!.......2000-05-02
I just wanted some help to decorate my kid's room... what I got was a book that drew me in. This well-written book is colorful and educational, full of beauty and ideas. It is enjoyable, readable, and "do-able." I could not have chosen a better book to assit in this project.

Customer Reviews:
An invaluable source of information........1999-09-24
I purchased a copy of this book when it was first published, and it is dog-eared from use!! I have loaned it out numerous times to friends who have ALL raved about it, and I continue to use it as a reference as I update my boys rooms as they grow. I HIGHLY recommend it & can't say enough about it!!!
Bright, well-designed, full of info.......1997-09-03
A very well-designed book that combines bright, clever photos with very practical and interesting info. Very useful for designing great kids' rooms and raising creative kids
Co-design a living & learning space w/ your child........1997-06-08
I have read and enjoyed Miss Logrippo's book titled In My World . I found the book of interest on several levels:
· Miss Logrippo demonstrates a through knowledge of the subject matter.
· She imparts not only decorating ideas but also the
psychological and educational reasons for each decorating approach. As an Early childhood teacher it was fascinating to read how room decorating impacts a child's healthy mental and physical growth.
· The author believes children should co-design their rooms with parents to optimize the child's environment for their needs and enjoyment of their living space. If a child's opinions and needs are considered in the design of the child's room then the child will have a vested interest in helping to maintain his room. Many exciting ideas are given to update the look of older furnishings.
I would describe In My World as a "how to" book; but it doesn't read like one.
Miss Logrippo writes with humor and illustrates her directions with antidotes from her career and childhood experiences. I was drawn into the book by the author's writing style

From the supplier: Furniture designers who plan to develop children's rooms should remember that common decorations alone do not suffice to make children like their rooms. Children often prefer function over ornaments and therefore seek rooms that aid in their development. Adding elements such as secret hiding places, decors at child's-eye-level and doors opened via levers makes a room more enjoyable for children.

Book Description
The wonderful portraits of children that Dutch and Flemish artists painted in the late Renaissance and Baroque periods offer a fascinating look not just at the youngsters themselves—along with their clothes, toys, and pets—but also at the society in which they lived. The charming pictures in this unique book demonstrate that 500 years ago children were, as they are now, their parents' pride and joy.
At first glance, these young people in their elaborate clothing and fancy headgear hardly resemble modern youth. But their fresh faces and vivid expressions transcend time. Superb full-page colorplates reproduce 85 of the best of these portraits—by famous and lesser-known artists alike—while essays by leading art and cultural historians set them in context. Countless parents have formal portraits or studio photographs made of their children. For them, as well as for art lovers and students, Pride and Joy should hold an irresistible fascination.
Customer Reviews:
Pride and Joy: Children's Portraits in the Netherlands, 1500-1700.......2007-04-03
Wow! This is the most amazing and extensive collection of photos of primary sources for children's renaissance costumes that I have ever seen. Additionally, the analysis is extensive, scholarly, helpful and fascinating. This book provides a fascinating insight into family life in the renaissance. The book itself is a top-quality production. The color plates are large and beautifully reproduced. This is THE must-have for costumers and recreationists interested in children and/or families of the Renaissance. The only frustration is its narrow focus on the Netherlands. I just wish this was one of a series!
