Rick is Better on PBS........2001-12-17

We felt like we wasted our money on this guide. The authors tried to cover too much ground in one book -- in doing so, the reader is left with a feeling that the info is incomplete and inadequate. We did not visit Latvia or Lithania, but we did see some of Moscow and St. Petersburg before taking the Finnish Sibelius train to Helsinki. We also visited Tallinn, Estonia by Silja's wonderful "Super Seacat IV" ferry. (The two of us traveled on our own -- avoiding the tour groups.) Russia/Finland/Estonia is a wonderful trip to for younger and older adults (leave the small kids at home). The title of the book is somewhat misleading, as the authors focus on and cram Helsinki, Tallinn, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vilnius, and Riga into 138 pages. Page 42, "Eating in Helsinki" only received 2/3 of a page (five short paragraphs). The chapter on Tallinn, Estonia is only 15 pages and is sadly incomplete -- as we walked around Tallinn, we wondered if Rick Steves had actually ever visited Estonia.

..., its an utter waste of money........2000-05-05

Simply stated, this book borders on useless. If you buy this book and are planning to go to the Baltics, I hope you only want to see the capital cities. There is no mention of the beautiful seaside resort towns, eco-tourism spots which are very popular there, or even the major cities other than Riga, Vilnius, and Tallinn. Similarly, with Russia, don't plan on learning any useful info beyond what's written on Moscow & St. Petes. Even the info which *is* presented is so minimalistic that you it would not aide anyone. Advice such as "ask a native speaker to help you get a taxi" isnt exactly helpful, is it? No, and neither are the handdrawn maps. One saving grace with this book: it has good bus information (but the most recent info given is for 1997!). Want a good guide on the Baltics? Check out the "Lonely Planet" guide for this region, which I would give at least 4 out of 5 stars. I hope Amazon lets me "return" Rick Steve's book.

Concise and perfect.......1998-11-07

This book covers the gateway that you'll probably use (in my case Helsinki), the cities you'll probably go to (Moscow and St. Petersburg), and the Baltics. Steves separated the wheat from the chaff, and this tiny guide was all I needed for 2 weeks in Russia and the Baltics. Others may be bigger, but they will have you working overtime to determine where to go, and what to do. This tiny little guide covered everything needed for the independent traveler. The only thing I have to criticize is: whenever possible use trains, not buses.

This book is dated and the information is not always accurate, but it is still classic Rick Steves, with lots of good information about Russia. I wouldn't make it my only tour book (choose one that is current), but it is a great supplement to bring along.

Helen Lester Thompson's Sewing Tools & Trinkets is a collector's identification and value guide, covering everything from thimbles and needle holders to toys and trinkets. A very specific reference for the collector of sewing items.

Excellent source for the collector.......1999-05-06

This is an excellent source for the collector of antique sewing implements. Full color illustrations of all priced objects make it easy to identify and place a value on pincushions, needlecases, thimbles and more. Not much text but price guides are generally short on text. If a price guide is what you want, I recommend this one.

Best of Jo Sharp's collections.......1999-10-29

Some of Jo Sharp's sweater designs are a bit outlandish for me, since I'm more conservative in dress, although I expect a good number of them, since they are colorful, unusual and eye-catching, can be quite popular. I was happy, though, to find this collection, which has something for everybody and certainly lots for me. Jo Sharp yarn is extraordinary -- quite unusual for our market, these are strong, substantial yarns that knit into luxurious garments on anywhere from the recommended size 6 needle to a size 8 or 9. They are expensive, comparatively, at $6.50 for a ball of 107 yards, but you get great coverage, and the end result is a sweater that is both durable, comfortable, easy to maintain, and versatile, not to mention warm. A whole sweater can cost about $100, which is not bad for the quality that you get. Knitting Bazaar has great designs for single colored sweaters, two colors, or the more complex trademark styles of multi-hued intarsias. Very inventive designs for the new colors added to her palette, and some wonderfully conservative styles that I can wear to work. The best of the collection, though, is Precious Jewel -- a brightly colored intarsia of op-art flowers and scrollwork. The cover style, Boheme, is also very attractive, as is the colorful Paragon. Sharp also gives us a cape, some pullovers (some in stranding or fair isle), cardigans and an attractively cabled jacket, casual wear and formal wear sweaters, cables and intarsias. Some designs are highly appropriate for new knitters, others are simple examples of intarsia or stranding for those just learning the techniques. Precious Jewel looks to be the most complex. In all, this collection is highly inventive, not so much a departure in Sharp's styles but a ripening -- and I think she's gone further into styling that is appropriate for the American market. Certainly she's one of the best designers out there, second in inventiveness only to Kaffe Fassett, who seems to be depleted as far as sweater designs, and comparable to Alice Starmore. Jo Sharp has 3 or 4 previous books, most quite good. Knitting Bazaar is a great collection, a pleasure to browse through, and well-worth adding to your knitting library.

ASIN: 0922915806

Book Description

Along with Rudy Vallee and Bing Crosby, Russ Columbo was the model crooner of the late 1920s, with a smoothly sentimental ballad style. His mellifluous but melancholy voice spoke to many Americans still drifting in the malaise after World War I and at the beginning of the depression. But unlike most crooners, Columbo not only wrote and sang songs about lovestruck dreamers but also lived out such stories, unable or unwilling to separate art from life. Based on material from the singer's personal effects, including original music transcripts, photographs, diaries, and love letters, the biography also includes concise histories of the most important crooners and the controversies their theatrics often elicited.

Wrong book but prompt service.......2006-07-18

For some reason, this book got ordered instead of the one I really wanted. When I contacted Amazon about the problem it was handled with the utmost professionalism. I returned the book and was sent the one I really ordered. A pleasant exchange.

Unravelling an enigma---A must-read for Columbo fans.......2005-03-31

Of the four books written about the singer, Russ Columbo, in the past 4 years (with yet one more scheduled for release in 2005), this scrupulously-researched, well-written book by Joseph Lanza and Dennis Penna remains at the head of the pack as far as giving us a window into this very enigmatic, short-lived romantic figure, Russ Columbo. Not only is it packed with previously unknown facts about a performer about whom very little was actually documented, the writers were able to piece together the chronology of Columbo's brief life, especially his seemingly torturous romances with Pola Negri, Hannah Williams, Dorothy Dell and Carole Lombard, having access to some of the meager personal effects left by Columbo upon his death in 1934 at age 26 (letters, telegrams, etc.). The book goes a long way toward helping to properly place Russ Columbo as much more than a "Bing-impersonator"--a place he has been undeservedly relegated to by the few who remember him at all. As a reference work, the indexes and annotations at the end of the book are excellent, and serve as a most reliable "source material" regarding Columbo's films, radio work and recordings. Some of the photos in the book (including the stunning cover photo) are jaw-droppingly rare and amazing. All-in-all, the book paints an accurate, appealing and ultimately, wistfully sad portrait of a "beautiful dreamer" who was tragically lost far too soon. I very highly recommend this book, though one is inevitably left with a real sense of loss, and the biggest question of all: "What might have been?" We'll never know---but Lanza and Penna's top-drawer biography is as close as we'll get in unravelling the now-mythical figure that was Russ Columbo.

A mystery wrapped in a riddle inside a voice box.......2004-08-10

Don't think that you'll figure out the paradox that was Russ Columbo when you've finished this book. What you will take from it, though, is a revealing though not always flattering portrait, done (at times overdone) in art-moderne light and shadow, of a singular singer and the show business that made him. It's all the more engrossing because it takes place in an era whose popular and musical culture have faded from living memory, yet haven't quite made it into the collective unconscious.

You kind of can't blame them, given the likely readership for a book about a long-forgotten tragic pop idol, but the authors do rather overindulge their homoerotic musings in detailing Russ' closeness with Lansing Brown, the friend who caused the freak accident that took Russ' life. More to the heart of the man, I think, are the head-over-heels, heart-on-sleeve yearnings for legendary sex symbols Pola Negri and Carole Lombard. One wonders if it was Russ' destiny to worship goddesses, inevitably to be dropped like a mere mortal. He never sang songs about the "girl next door," anyway...

Columbo was no Sinatra, let alone an Einstein, but his very opaqueness and vanity is fascinating in its own right. As musician, Italian-American, media craze, or hopeless romantic, Russ Columbo rewards your getting to know him.

Oddly written, but beautiful.......2004-06-06

Never thought I'd recommend a book published by "FERAL HOUSE," but that's not the only kooky thing connected to RUSS COLUMBO AND THE CROONER MYSTIQUE. The materials on which the authors based their book are very thorough, but no one is ever going to give Russ Columbo the Stephen hawking award for brains, so page after page of his intimate correspondence, and that of his brain-dead pals, palls after a little while. The photos are great and seem to prove the long-vaunted notion that at some point in his career, perhaps to improve his chances with Indiana-born Carole Lombard, Columbo endured a primitive nose-job of the Gertrude Atheron style. There are two kinds of people, and one of them is the kind that will love this biography to death, and the other kind will prefer to appreciate it, and its James-Ellroyisms, at a safe distance. Kudos to its authors, who dared to sail into the mind of a shallow man for quite a long time.

Poorly written and disappointing.......2004-04-18

It's hard to find one's way through the overwritten prose in this disappointing biography. Here's a sample:

"Some crooners belched romantic perfume but slyly alluded to a gamy climax, but Columbo celebrated the maddening energy of protracted foreplay." (p. 90)

That's just a sample; the book's loaded with more purple prose. Lou Miano's book is better but I think the definite Columbo biography hasn't yet been written.
