A Beautiful Country......A Beautiful Book.......2007-06-08

I purchased this book as a gift and was so impressed I had to buy one for myself! Photography which captures the distinct and rare beauty of Ireland and well-written text that describes and explains the many points of interest found in Ireland. If you've never been to Ireland this book will make you plan a holiday. If Ireland is already a favourite place to visit reading this book will make you want to return. High quality binding.

Another great book in the series........2002-08-05

Masterfully photographed, and printed on high quality paper, this book is a must have for any armchair traveller.
The book provides a map of the region on the inside cover, and then follows a brief and informative historical overview, which introduces the region to the reader. From that point onwards the book consists of one splendid photograph after the other, very often on a full page, or even spread over double pages, all with short descriptions to accompany them. The book depicts rural country scenes as well as historical landmarks, grand vistas to great architectural photos and even prominent statues. In short, everything the region has to offer.
I am also the proud owner of New England (Photographic Tour) by the same author and photographer and as such, I can highly recommend any one of the books in this series.

Betta: Your Happy Healthy Pet.......2007-01-09

We "adopted" our very first Betta fish, Ray, last July. We just love him but weren't sure if we were taking care of him properly. This book was wonderful and so very helpful. It is easy to understand and separated so that your questions can be answered quickly. A must for all parents of Bettas!

Best for the South.......2005-11-01

This is a small colorful book which describes flowering plants that grow fairly easily in the South, and everything it says is true. I never needed such a book when living in South Florida. Plants there either grew wildly or died immediately. When I moved to Mississippi, I had no idea what would grow well. Every plant described in this book that I have planted not only grows, but does very well. I don't always follow all of the advice, and they still grow showing the "tough-as-nails" title is exactly true. I recommend this book to anyone planting in southern climates.

fantastic.......2007-02-21

Whether you are a Mott/Ian Hunter fan or not, you can enjoy this book. Although the early background/biography sections aren't as interesting as the career of Mott The Hoople, this book is very entertaining. It shows the inner workings of a legendary band, and in the process, the inner workings of the music industry. This book is easy to read and a must for Ian Hunter/Mott fans. These guys had a lot of funny things happen to them as they became unlikely pop stars.

This is one of the best books I have ever read.

A third grader loved reading about Molly Picon's life........1997-12-07

This book is subtitled "A Gift of Laughter". It is written for young readers, which I am, but my mother also enjoyed learning about Molly's life. Molly had a really great spirit. She always went "on with the show", from getting engaged on stage to her manager/director husband to taking up roller skating at age 50 for a musical celebration of her 25 years in Yiddish Theater. Even when things went wrong, she always made people happy. The most important lesson she taught was laughter and excitement. Even when on the small screen, instead of her beloved live theater, she communicated her vivacity and generous spirit. When people had forgotten how to laugh after the rampage of the Holocaust, even children who were born never having heard laughter or experiencing joy, Molly was able to transmit a love of life and hopefulness through her heartfelt performances. She was blessed with a long productive life, still giving live concert performances, doing deep knee-bends and cancan twirls in her mid-seventies. Molly left an indelible impression in the hearts and minds of her audiences, inspiring many to enroll in her concerns for the State of Israel, the Yiddish Language and Yiddish Theatre. Molly Picon made a movie with Barbra Streisand in 1973 called For Pete's Sake. Although the book doesn't say it, and it was published in 1990, I think Barbra stole Molly's famous Yiddish story from her play and later movie, Yiddle with a Fiddle, to use as the basis for Streisand's Yentel character and movie that came out in 1983. I wonder why there is no mention of this in the book, and also why Barbra does not credit Molly's inspiration for her performance. I loved the book because it felt like Molly was really talking about herself to me. I felt many feelings about myself when reading about Molly's life and choices. I like a book when I can relate to the main character and when that character contributes to my life. I recommend this book to anyone that wants to be an actor when they grow up, and to grownups who need a little laughter. I am inspired to read more about Molly and to watch all the films that she made.
