Customer Reviews:

These are excellent guides for Europe.......2004-03-28

These books have been very helpful on our two trips to Europe. I have found every hotel review to be accurate. The authors also give great ideas for side trips and useful maps. You can plan your whole vacation using these books.

If you want to find charming smaller hotels in Europe this books is your best bet. If you prefer a larger American Style hotel or resort this is not the book for you.

Continuing a doll legacy............2007-06-14

I own all of the Patsy Moyer Doll Identification & Value books, and I am never disappointed. The photos are always so wonderful, and the information very helpful ...(especially when Patsy identifies the more obscure collectible dolls).

Also,the all the Moyer books are printed on quality paper, etc...

As any Moyer fan will tell you, once you buy one volume of Patsy's books, you will want to go back and buy ALL of her other volumes!

There are so many dolls out there, that truly, an author would need to compile all the information in many (many) volumes,-- which is exactly that Patsy has done, throughout her career.

By the way, Patricia R. Smith was the original author to have started the trend in compiling doll information into many encyclopedic hardback "Volumes" (except that Patricia called her books "SERIES" rather than "VOLUMES"). Infact, I believe that Patricia Smith started her doll encyclopedias way back in the 1970's!

Patricia Smith's very first "Series" are now hard to find , since they've been out-of-print for so long. (I was able to find all of Patricia Smith's early doll Series at a second-hand bookstore, many years ago).

Anyhow, after Patricia Smith retired, that's when Patsy Moyer took over the legacy (ie: to place all the doll information into encyclopedic volumes).

I believe that Patsy Moyer has done an outstanding job, since Patricia Smith has since left us, and I'm sure it was hard to fill Patricia Smith's shoes.

Pretty pictures, but..........2000-03-05

This beautiful hard-cover makes a very nice coffee table book, but I don't recommend it for someone looking to do any in-depth doll research. The pictures are lovely, but details are scant. In most cases, the doll's height measurements, characteristics, year of production, etc., are not even listed. She also throws in quite a few new artist dolls and 70's fashion dolls which don't seem to fit in with the rest of the book and are of little interest to vintage doll collectors.

Gorgeous volume covering the modern collectible dolls........1999-04-27

This 303 page hard cover 3rd edition identification and value guide contains nearly 800 large full color photos of every type of modern collectible doll from advertising dolls, Alexander, Barbie, to cloth, comic, Effanbee, hard plastic, Hasbro, Mattel, Storybook, etc., etc. 45 chapters of dolls in all. Each chapter provides an overview of the dolls and what to look for in that type of doll. Estimated values are shown. The pictures are superb- almost like seeing the dolls themselves. With its heavy lifetime laminated cover, the book weighs 3 pounds !! It's a keeper.

Even if you already have Volume one of this book, this book is still wonderful! Each page has beautifully detailed colored pictures of Modern dolls- Alexander, Ideal, Mattel, Effanbee, etc.. Lots of popular dolls, with very few repeats from the first edition. If you sell dolls- or collect them- you will not be disappointed with this book.

Book Description

The innovative architectural styles that have emerged from the various climates of the Colombian landscape are presented through this collection of insightful essays and spectacular complementary photography. More than 300 locations in Colombia fill the three sections based on climate zones: hot weather, warm weather, and cold weather. As the creativity of traditional and emerging Colombian architects is revealed, so too is the stunning landscape of the country whose varying climate and indigenous materials—such as guadua, a local bamboo—have influenced Colombian architectural form and content, respectively.

Book Description

The book takes a tour around each one of the three presidential homes of Colombia, which represent three times in the country's history: the Colony, with Hatogrande, a country hacienda on the Savannah of Bogotá; the Republic, with El Palacio de Nariño, current and permanent seat of the Government, in Bogotá; the Present, with the daring architecture of La Casa del Fuerte de San Juan de Manzanillo, in Cartagena, where sight is loss among the spectacular Caribbean landscape. These residences house not only valuable works of art but also the splendid symbols of a booming nation. With texts by writer Juan Gustavo Cobo and testimonies by several Colombian chroniclers and historians, the book is an account on the vicissitudes of these buildings, long before they became the significant and admired monuments of present day.

One of the greatly underestimated family relationships is the bond between fathers and children. Fathers are not necessarily taught to be fathers by their own dads; even mothers, at times, do not comprehend the significance of father-child relationships and thus don't know how to foster and encourage them. It's kind of a big, societal mystery how sometimes the relationship works and sometimes it doesn't. Will Glennon puts a human face on this issue with personal stories (his own and others'), and creates a truly moving and significant contribution to a clearer understanding of father-child relationships. He offers practical, concrete advice about how to make them stronger, more loving, and more beneficial for child and father. An important book on a neglected corner of family life.

Absolutely Amazing.......1999-05-14

My father and I haven't had the best relationship in the past 10 years, as my parents are divorced and he missed my teenage years by a long shot because of the distance. Now that we live in the same city and I'm heading into my 20s, I still don't see him very often.

I found this book and decided to give it to my father for Father's Day. I read it and highlighted all the *incredibly* relavent parts, which ended up being half the book! I cried the entire way through the book because it really hit home. Mr. Glennon has an uncanny knack of seeing right into the hearts of emotionally neglected kids.

My dad and I still aren't the best of friends, but he's read parts of the book (still hasn't read all of it, much to my dismay) and has really tried to understand where I'm coming from. It's a very big step for both of us.

This is an incredibly important book and I plan on stocking up on at least 3 copies of this book to distribute when the time comes: one for my stepsister and her husband, one for my brother, and one for my future husband (when I find him!). I hope they find the true wisdom of this book and learn from the mistakes of others instead of making the same ones. There's just too much at stake: your child's life.

This might be the most important book I ever read.......1998-10-10

As a new father, I was scared, nervous and excited about my approaching fatherhood, and like most guys it never occurred to me to read a book about it. My mother gave me this book and the power of the stories and the wisdom of the words were an absolute godsend. I am now five months into Fatherhood, knee-deep in baby things and loving every second. This book is fabulous and I think every single new father should be required to read it.

Book Description

Hers is the candid, high-spirited story of a scrappy redhead colored girl from West Virginia and Chicago who combined her unerring eye for talent and chich with a uniquely American brashness and an eminently European sophistication to become the toast of two continents.

Book Description

THEY DIED IN SILENCE IS MARIA'S STORY. It's also the story of the brave American and British soldiers whom she met, and sometimes watched die, during these crucial, historical events. Congruently, it incompasses one of the most clever and valiant Jews in history.

The Nazis force Maria and the American Dawes Team into the Carpathian Mountains. The remainder of the Czechoslovakian defeated Army joins Maria and the group and together they travel through the mountains where eighty three men are frozen to death and hundreds more are killed and captured by the Nazies.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Book By A Wonderful Author.......2005-07-07

An amazing true account of a very brave Czechoslovakian woman and other heros who risked everything, including their life, to help others elude an overpowering enemy: the Nazi war machine. For her exciting and frightening experiences as a courier with the Underground and for her assistance to American & British fighters, I salute Maria Zima. The author is to be commended for bringing this wonderful and detailed account of one woman who struggled to assist others. Maria was awared the Bronze Star for her help to the U.S. and is now a U.S. citizen.
