Failure Is Impossible: The Story of Susan B. Anthony (Feminist Voices)

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Find.......2003-07-29

I really enjoyed the way the author brought to life the different events and struggles of Susan B. Anthony's life. Anthony was a very determined woman, and Mrs. Bohannon thoroughly proved that through her writing. This book would be a good research reference.

It was excellent........2003-03-17

This book is an excellent account of one of women's greatest women. It may have been written for a younger audience, but its simplicity makes it all the more intriguing. Her friendship with Elizabeth Cady Stanton is so powerful, and their struggle makes what they fought to win so much more appreciated. "Failure Is Impossible: The Story of Susan B. Anthony," should be used as required school reading.

Carol Nipper's Review.......2003-03-11

I enjoy Ms. Bohannon's writing. She is an easy author to follow and can comprehend easily. Her writing was very informative and so interesting that you just did not want to put the book down. Her subject Susan B. Anthony was expressed so well and with thoroughness. I think the book was done so well that it should be considered to become a movie. I know I would thoroughly enjoy a movie about our heritage and how much effort some women put into making women's life today so much easier and better. Lisa was able to bring all of this out, the dedication these women had and never gave up. I truly enjoyed the portraits and how Lisa was able to express something so well written about each person in the book. She is truly a wonderful writer and I cannot wait until her next book comes out. I have her first book and I was so excited that she wrote another book. Thank you Lisa for such a knowledge that you have given to us, and how much we appreciate your telling the story. I truly enjoyed this book. Carol Nipper

Book Description

Lady Burton's version of her life and travels with her famous husband Sir Richard Francis Burton to Syria, Tunis, Europe, Brazil and other locales. As Sir Richard Burton's wife, confidante, and fellow-adventurer, Isabel Burton led one of the most intriguing lives of any woman during the Victorian era

In his preface W. H. Wilkins, the editor explains this revision of the first edition published four years earlier. Isabel Burton had intended that as many people as possible should read her book, but, the original version having been written in two volumes, proved too expensive for the majority of people. This edition adheres to the original text, leaving out as little as possible. . An important source of Burton's thoughts, this book also reveals the values and perceptions of Isabel herself. In reading it, one may presume her correct in stating that while others would lay down what he "wrote and said", she in turn would be the only one who could write down what he "thought and did".

Not Much Help.......2007-04-06

This book is intended primarily for incorporated Ebay sellers or Ebay sellers who plan to incorporate. It is of limited value for small businesses that are privately owned and filing a Schedule C tax form. I do not recommend it.

eBay Tax Gude is a useful resource.......2007-02-22

For a large volume eBay seller this is a vauable resource. For the more casual seller who sells occasionally or has a smaller volume of sales it is probably not necessary. It is well organized and it is easy to find the tax topic you wish to address.

very helpful.......2006-11-02

As a new e-bay store owner, I was in need of some tax advice. This book gave me everything I needed to know about owning a small business on e-bay. I read it cover to cover the first time and still often refer to it. Highly recommended to anyone who may not know how tax laws work for e-bay sellers.

I like purchasing items from Amazom.com.......2005-10-07

I just want to say the Navy scrap book, was a great purchase and it had more in it then the ones you purchase from a store and the price was way cheaper then the store also. keep up the good work amazon.com.
This was not my first purchase from amazon.com, I go to amazon.com first before e-bay or any other shops and I find that amazon.com is where I end up purchasing my items from.
Thank You
Carol

Husband's Navy Scrapbook.......2005-05-09

I bought this scrapbook, elsewhere and paid more, but it's fantastic! I designed this gift to give to my husband for his last birthday. I contacted an old ship-mate (USS GRANT) and received photos, anecdotes, etc. to place in the album. It came out great and the album just helped to enhance the whole "picture!"
I highly recommend this album for your Navy scrapbooking. There are so many stickers and embellishments out now, it's so easy to commemorate those Navy experiences!

Customer Reviews:

Don't Bother!!!.......2007-06-01

I don't need a book that only talks about how to justify your sewing machine purchase - and wastes numerous pages with ways to know whether you should or should not "splurge" when you visit your local sewing machine store.
I was hoping this book would get into discussing the different features of various manufacturers - and the pros and cons of different machine types, but this info was sorely lacking.
If you're looking for a home, computer machine and need someone to hold your hand before you feel okay to buy one, then you'll love this book.

Fun and informative.......2005-10-18

O.K., so some of the information may be outdated, but in the main this is an excellent overview of sewing machines, what they are, what they should do, what you might want when purchasing one, and how to go about shopping for, purchasing, then maintaining your own sewing machine. In a breezy style which doesn't even pretend to be void of judgement, the author manages to convey his own love of the sewing machine, and his enthusiasm for the care and feeding of same. I am enjoying this book so very much, and whatever is factually outdated is probably the website listing, and the other sorts of timely material he includes. I for one love this book and hope it undergoes a revision at some time. The very fact that he has opinions and is willing to share them makes this book very different in the general "how-to" milieu, where quite frankly there is far too much generalization to find useful where products are concerned. I would rather have his opinions, then sift them with a few others to come up with something useful. BUY this - you will enjoy it, especially if you are like me - one who appreciates sewing machines for who they are, and who likes the machines better than the sewing!

Silly book..........2005-01-30

This is an ok book for TIPS here and there, but really lame in every other way. My favorite silly piece of advice is when he says to go ahead and rub perfume on your machine to make it smell pretty. Sewing temperment? Insulting, and a waste of paper. I really tried to like the book.

An Excellent Start.......2005-01-12

Certainly the prior reviews have not lacked in force of opinion. It is foolish, in my estimation, to expect a book in this price range and size to go into "restoring" sewing machines. Common sense should rule that out. It is also no primer in the heavy-duty repair of machines; the author rightly directs the reader to a dealer for that. What remains in an excellent guide for the average person in doing minor maintenance on a machine. As an owner and sewer for nearly thirty years, I wouldn't dream of taking apart my computer Bernina machines but had a good time dissembling some old Singer machines--and the advice worked! I saw nothing wrong with the author's advice on shopping and buying machines, though this might vary with geography and local dealers. Though I was already aware of it, I thought his section on who owns who in the sewing world, and where machines come from, was interesting. This was not meant to be investigative writing, and no doubt the author did not wish to injure independent dealers. I found his recommendations for how to shop for machines by price to be spot on, though of course prices do go obsolete. I particularly enjoyed the full-color photos of the steps involved in minor cleaning of the machines.

For this price, this is a great first book on sewing machines and their workings.

Mixed Review.......2004-03-24

Some chapters of this book weren't worth the time to read them.

The pricing guides obviously become obsolete right away. He indicates you couldn't possibly get a good sewing machine for under $150 even buying used, and that the only place to get a good used sewing machine is at a dealer, I disagree.

The section about finding your "Sewing Tempermant" was contradictory and just wacky.

Perhaps it's my fault for assuming that "refurbishing" would be about restoring a neglected machine to top condition, but it's actually about taking your old well-cared for machine, and cleaning, oiling and shining it up a bit.

"How to Modernize an Old Machine" is really just a collection of tips about changing your sewing habits. Mostly very interesting tips, but not really about changing your old machine.

Despite all of those complaints, I enjoyed the book and learned a lot. I especially liked the information on the brands, who made what when, and who's making it now, etc.

The chapter "Setting Up Your Sewing Space" is reason enough to read this book, and certainly isn't just for novices.
