Simply the best.......2006-03-12

You can't beat a Blue Guide when it comes to accurate, useful, and detailed information, and Southwest France is no exception. 576 densely printed pages, this book thoroughly covers the Midi-Pyrenees and Aquitaine, including Dordogne, Lot, Landes, Tarn, Gers, Gironde, and the Pyrenees. Elegant towns, superb museums (many little known), chateaux, churches, valleys, vineyards, city maps - this is a total cultural and historical guide to the region, which encompasses a vast amount of territory. And it fits in your pocket, always a plus. If you just want an overview of the most popular sites, this would not be your best choice. If you are an off-the-beaten-track kind of traveller who likes to delve and find hidden gems, by all means, take BGSF along for the fun. You may want to supplement it with another guide containing photos, as Blue Guides typically include line drawings in black and white.

Not appropriate for children under 15 years of age.......2006-01-06

This book is a humorous, fact-filled summary of knights, spies, and pirates. It includes cartoon illustrations of many of the facts and anecdotes described in the text. Many of the same facts and anecdotes, however, describe gory or grisly events (as an example, see the description of warfare and sieges during the Crusades) which makes it wholly inappropriate for junior teens. Older teens and adults should find it fun reading, as long as they're not too squeamish!

Great for Children of all ages.......2005-12-15

A wonderful book written with a Jr. High aged kid in mind. However, it is still a delight to read as an adult (I think I had more fun than a teenager would) It is written with a wit and humor that anyone can enjoy. This book gives historical information in a fun, "forget I'm learning" sort of way. I reccomend it for anyone and everyone.

Book Description

Since first published in 1989, and then again in a revised and updated 1997 edition, From Problems to Profits - The Madson Management System for Pet Grooming Businesses (1997) continues to be the world's best selling grooming business book. It's not a how-to book for the art of grooming, but instead, the most complete how-to book for starting and managing a new grooming business or expanding an existing one. Every managerial topic in grooming is covered from personnel, client relations, safety and supervision, marketing and advertising, bookkeeping, financial planning. Better yet over 100 illustrations provide you with dozens of business form layouts for your personal use. From Problems to Profits is more than a story about the author, Madeline B. Ogle, PhD. Instead she offers you the knowledge and tools she used to build one of the largest and most respected grooming businesses in the world. Now anyone can establish a more stable, profitable grooming business and! grow it as large as they desire, from a stable, busy year round one person business to a major pet care center. The definitive grooming business book that you will use for as long as you own your business. In fact, The Madson Management System has been proven to build the net worth of grooming businesses, and thereby allowing their owners more comfortable retirements when they sell their businesses. The art of grooming is important to every grooming business, but it is grooming management that creates stable, profitable grooming businesses that operate with far fewer problems. Managing a grooming business doesn't have to be stressful, but instead one of the joys of your life forever.

Helpful.......2007-09-30

This book was purchased for me to help set up a business plan for self-serve dog wash with employees. I was not impressed with some of the ideas that were mentioned in the book regarding the design and style of cards to send to the customers to encourage continued business. Overall, this book was helpful and it sparked my own ideas.

Pet Grooming.......2007-05-15

Not exactly what I was looking for. Thought it would have more of example business plans in it. Good starter book for the Pet grooming.

From Problems to Profits Succeeds.......2004-08-10

This is the definitive book on the "business side" of grooming. Why another reviewer here would say to refer to Notes From The Grooming Table doesn't make sense. It's a great book on the "how to groom side" of grooming and is not a book on the business side of grooming at all. From Problems to Profits for the business side of grooming and Notes for the styling side of grooming and you have the best of the best today.

Useless for House Call or Mobile Grooming.......2004-07-18

I was recommended this book by grooming board but I found it totally useless for the mobile groomer or house call groomer. The book called "Notes from the Grooming Table" is a much better investment for the groomer in general.

The best of the best for grooming........2003-12-23

I visited the office of this author today and asked if I could write a review, and they put me online here so here I am. At first I thought this book was the biography of the author. It's not. It's her system she used to go from a tiny salon to a major pet salon. No matter how small or large a grooming shop you want, you can do it. I was so impressed look at me, I came to visit the author and what a warm welcome I was given. I bet her 5,000 pet owner clients loved her as much as me. This is a classic and many books on how to for any type of service business could take a lesson from the format of this book. If you are going to own a grooming small or large there are so many gems of info in this book. I am so impressed and feel so great about my future as a grooming business owner.

ASIN: 0764305808

Book Description

The mellow tones of antique natural oak have become popular accents in a growing number of households in America today. Furniture made over the last hundred years in dense oak, which holds the crisp edges of fine carving detail and displays strong designs have come to be appreciated by the descendants of their first owners. This first generation of mass-produced American furniture which utilized the ingenuity of the machine age for its construction, and the inspiration of catalog marketing for its distribution, has now come to be appreciated for its special forms and solid materials. Its recent popularity has caused the values for oak furniture to rise significantly. With hundreds of examples shown in color photographs the book is arranged by types of furniture from armoires to tables. Hundreds of chairs are shown to display the great variety of styles that were made. Famous makers such as Larkin, Stickley, and more are well represented. This new study is a welcome addition to the literature of American antiques. A newly updated price guide is included.

Customer Reviews:

Nice reference book.......2000-10-26

Although the text can be a bit tedius at times, this is a good reference book for building a home. I have been searching for a book like this for sometime. While I expected this to be directed a bit more towards the decorating aspect of the home, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it answered many of my questions concering home building. Not a complete reference, but a great start nonetheless.

20,000 ft. view.......2000-08-29

I was hoping to get insights from the mind of an interior design artist. My disappointment grew as I made my way through the book. I did not once stop to ponder on advice that was given, I read about simplistic rules, "the use of space is important", "functionality over conventionality". The book is filled with photos but no unifying text that brings a flow of ideas. I would only recommend this book if you want a condensed "how-not-to" book. Otherwise, keep browsing and please let us know of any good finds.

Iam in love with Charlie Plato.This is the stuff that movies are made of.Iam already on a waiting list for her new book.She comes alive before your eyes,and makes you wish her bar was in your neighborhood

the best book yet in this sensually hot mystery series.......1998-06-21

Estrella Stockton, a patron of country-western bar, CHAPS, is killed and the prime suspect is her husband Thane.

Desperate, Thane hires Charlie Plato, co-owner of CHAPS, to investigate who murdered his abusive wife. Zach Hunter, a former TV star, returns from Hollywood after a four month absence. He joins Charlie on her inquiries.

The amateur sleuths soon learn that Estrella, a Filipino, had been seen in town with her former boyfriend, but no one can identify him, except that he wears dark baggy pants and aviator glasses, has dark hair, and is called the "Empty Man". Charlie continues to investigate the case even after her client is murdered. She is unaware that as she gets closer to identifying the Empty Man, she places her own life in danger from a murderer who plans to remain hidden.

DEAD BEAT AND DEADLY, the latest installment in the highly popular Plato series by popular romance writer Margaret Chittendon is all any connoseur of fine work can ask for. An ingenuous and crypytic mystery, witty dialog and the explosive potential for a romance between the two leading protagonists explains why this is one of the most sensual and exciting mystery series on the market today. The hero is reminiscent of Pierce Bronson when he played Remington Steele and Charlie is his conscience and though he doesn't know it yet, his heart. DEAD BEAT AND DEADLY has cross genre appeal fans of both the mystery and romance genres. This is another winner by one of the genre's most talentedwriters.
