Nice short history of the Border Route.......2006-05-25

The book itself is fine, but for whatever reason, Amazon saw fit to add "Mysteries & Horror" to the title of the book in its website. I was hoping to get some ghost stories and/or folklore from the Boundary Waters, but what I got was (comparatively) dry history. I am so, so disapointed that this book is not what Amazon portrays it as, and if you have any ideas that would be more in line with what I'm looking for (folklore and ghost stories from the Boundary Waters and Quetico area, lumberjacks, miners, indians, trappers, voyageurs) please post them here!

his favorite new book.......2007-01-04

I purchased this book for my boyfriends birthday. He is very interested in old tools, and old things in general. He Loves it. He takes it out to the machine shed and compares tools, or just glances at the pages in the evenings. The two largest sections are those on plumb bobs and planes.

Sensational.......2007-05-12

I have not used the book yet for a pattern, but it is there for when I finish my four projects in progress. I can't wait to try a vest!

Old fashion styles........2007-05-07

I bought this book based on the previous reviews. I was dissapointed in the fashion styles. I was not inspired with any of the patterns offered. I haven't tried any of the patterns, so in fairness of it all, I gave it two stars.

A Great Find!.......2006-03-19

A great collection of patterns that are easy to follow and offer several interesting variations for each project, plus ideas for adding your own personal embellishments, buttons, beads, etc. I also enjoyed the authors narratives on the "art of knitting" as well as the helpful hints and techniques. A must have for any knitter, beginner or experienced!

If you're truly "brand new," you'll probably need some help.......2003-05-20

The instructions were difficult for me as a "brand new" knitter. I took a beginner's class (total of 6 hours), and my mom is an experienced knitter who has taught me a few things over the years, but I had to consult my knitting teacher and my mom from time to time when I was stumped as to what the instructions meant. One example: "Reverse all shapings" with no clue as to how this is done. My knitting instructor agreed that this book is definitely not for a true beginner; however, she did think the Sally Melville books were excellent (The Knit Stitch and The Purl Stitch).

The sweaters are beautiful and I look forward to knitting many of them, but I will be sure to have my mom and knitting teacher available to explain how to do some of the instructions for the forseeable future.

I don't mind the more expensive yarns, as I think you may as well use great yarn if you're putting all that time into a project. Also, it makes a huge difference to knit with really nice yarn--the yarn really makes the sweater.

So, five stars for the sweaters, but unless I'm really dense compared with other "brand new" knitters, I have to drop my rating down to 3 stars due to the struggles I'm having in understanding the instructions.

I thought you said for "Brand-New Knitter".......2003-05-02

I am a "Brand-New Knitter". The sweaters in this book are more than beautiful. I would like to make several of them. The majority of the instructions seem simple enough. However, when reading the pattern to see if I understood what was being instructed, I ran into an instruction that made absoutely no sense to the "Brand-New Knitter" on the second sweater.

Here are the instructions for the left front:
Left front: Cast on 31 (33,39,42)sts and knit
until peice measures same as back to start of shoulder shaping.

Work left shoulder shaping as for back. (I guess I could figure this out once I started knitting)

Continue working the remaining 15 (15,16,18) sts for collar for a further 3(3 1/2, 3 1/2, 4) inches.
BO.

But, if you are a "Brand-New Knitter" see if you understand this:

Right front: Work same as left front, reversing all
shaping.
Place markers on back for under arm.

What does this mean??? The sad part is, is that every pattern in the book with a right and left front is written like this. Maybe the problem is in understanding the left shoulder shaping. If this part of the instructions were clear I would rate this book a 5 star because she repeats the same technique/instructions over and over.

Book Description

Nearly every couple has some degree of difficulty in their marriage. Most are resigned to it, but Gary and Joy Lundberg believe there is a solution. Drawing on their extensive experience with marriage counseling and workshops, the Lundbergs reveal fourteen secrets every spouse should know. These secrets cover everything from finances and parenting to communication and sex, from being each other's best friend to keeping a sense of humor, and the surprising power of courtesy. Addressing the differing needs of men and women, they offer sensitive, realistic, and easy-to-understand solutions, drawing on examples from real-life couples' stories. They also include exercises, quizzes, and discussion topics that spouses can use alone or together to enhance communication and achieve emotional satisfaction.

"This great book will be a valuable resource for any couple desiring to improve their marriage." (Brent A. Barlow, Ph.D., author of Dealing with Difference in Marriage)

Customer Reviews:

Great Couples Resource.......2001-08-05

The Lundberg's book "I Don't Have to Make Everything All Better" has been a great resource to me as a church leader and counselor. When their new book "Married for Better, Not Worse" was released I bought it without hesitation. It is well researched and they have carefully integrated their own ideas with concepts and articles from many others. The real test of any book is if it can help stimulate a positive lasting and permanent change in behavior and understanding. In order for that to happen it must be easy to read, offer hope that conflict relief is achievable, and contain common sense solutions to everyday problems. Although there are many books available on this popular subject, it has become my book of choice when counseling couples in trouble. I have already witnessed some very positive results with its use.

Great resource for Couples.......2001-08-04

The Lundbergs first book, "I Don't Have To Make Everything All Better" has been a great resource to me as church counselor. When ths new book came out, I purchased it without hesitation. It is written in the same easy to read and common sense approach. The chapter on improving communication reminds the reader the importance of validation and teaches this important skill. The chapter on sexual intimacy is very direct and to the point. Other chapters address specific tasks and exercises to help restore romance and nurture each other. It is well researched and carefully integrates important material and ideas from many other articles.

There are countless books out there on this subject. The real test is if it has the capacity and content to help troubled couples make permanent and lasting changes in their relationship. I have already used this book several times in counseling settings with members of my congregation, all with very positive feedback and results. It has become my book of choice when couples ask for reading material to help solve conflict or enhance their marriage.

Secrets No Longer.......2001-06-19

I was having problems in my marriage and a friend recommend The RoMANtic's Guide and this book. I read them both and it was as though a light bulb was turned on in my head. I finally began to understand why my marriage wasnt better, even though my wife and I try.

Thanks.

A note about this reprint (applies to all 5 volumes in set).......2002-09-07

Thames and Hudson should be commended for reprinting this seminal work on Haydn yet again, seeing that the first reprint (from the 1980s) was going out of print. However, prospective buyers should be aware that this second reprint was printed on course, NON-acid-free paper. Also, the glossy color and halftone plates that were nicely reproduced in the first reprint are here printed as low-resolution black-and-white images on the same course paper as the rest of the book. The book is bound with real cloth (a rarity these days), but the cloth is course and does not seem to be of very high quality. I would recommend that any prospective buyer of this set first seek out a good-condition copy of the 1980s reprint, which was printed on finer paper and contains the nice color and halftone plates.

A unique approach to the genre of "escapee" literature. Accounts of wartime experiences of the Furst family vascillate between now late father, Desider, and daughter, Lilian, and are centered around the cities which represent the changing fortunes of the family. This is a personal family drama that floats along the borders of history and draws the reader into a subdued and melancholic vision of the post-war Jewish family.
