Useless.......2001-10-21

In my eyes the book is absolutely useless. It is more than superficial as far as sightseeing is concerned. You certainly need another guide to check out which attractions are worth a visit and what exactely is offered. The best information is on hotels and restaurants and you can get these (and better one) the web. Not worth the relatively high price

Excellent Beginners Guide.......2001-09-25

I found this book to be a great guide for our one week trip driving around Arizona. Some of the places we visited include Phoenix, Sedona, Flagstaff, Cameron, North Rim, Page/Lake Powell, Navajo Reservation, Chinle, and Winslow. All of the places that I was interested in visiting were covered in detail in the book with lots of good tips, besides just what to eat and where to stay. We followed a lot of the recommendations in the book and had a wonderful time.

Incomplete.......2001-05-17

Books ignores many places in Arizona. Nothing on Lake Havasu, Kingman, Oatman, Yuma, ShowLow, Pinetop, Payson, Mogollon Rim and nothing on cover of book, front or back, indicates it selectively covers state.

More than 800 color photographs and catalogreprints from old trade journals and advertisements light up the book.

You will need all three books in this series..........2006-11-27

Well-photographed and highly informative, this book does a good job of covering the historical backgrounds and styles of these glass companies. There is a comprehensive sampling of each company's candlesticks, but the key word to remember is "sampling". One will not find every single candlestick design ever made by these companies, but one will find numerous examples. Pricing is fairly good (this is a 2003 book), and while the pages of company patterns at the back of the book are helpful, I would love to be able to have the examples organized by design, rather than company, when searching for the probable maker of a mystery candlestick.

A great reference for candlesticks made by Am. Glass Cos.......2004-05-13

These two volumes are wonderful reference works for candlestick collectors. They contain a short history of each glass company covered in the book and lots of pictures as well as info regarding when each candlestick was produced, approximate measurements, the colors it was made in, etching patterns used, and a price guide. The books also make note of who is currently in possession of the molds. In the back of the book are several pages with small pictures of each candlestick covered in that volume. When you find a match with the candlestick you are trying to identify you can then turn to the page where that particular candlestick is discussed.

A very handy reference work and sensibly organized as well. It has pictures of similar candlesticks side by side so you can compare the similarities and differences in identifying a candlestick. I am waiting impatiently for the third in this series to be released!

Excellent resource.......2000-02-24

I am a librarian, and I often resent having to pay a professional bindery to reconstruct poorly-made or worn out bindings. I have used this book to teach myself the basics of book binding with great success, and minimal investment in terms of equipment and supplies. The directions are clear, and the illustrations and photos are generous and helpful. I have recommended this book to colleagues whenever possible.

Book Description

Seasonal homes offer harried urbanites respite and renewal from the rigors of the city. Given the dramatic backdrop of the Canadian landscape, it's no wonder these places of retreat hold a deep, even mythical, place in the national psyche. This large-format survey showcases some of the best Canadian getaway homes. Featuring the work of major individual architects and important firms, Cabin, Cottage and Camp is both a tribute to the architectural possibilities of the wilderness and an inspiration to those who dream of building their own weekend cottage or cabin.

In an emergency, the last thing any parent needs is to have to scan through a table of contents or index, and then thumb through pages and pages of dense text looking for the CPR instructions. In A Sigh of Relief, help is a moment away. The back cover's emergency index leads to large, accurate graphics and easy-to-follow written instructions. Other sections include problem prevention, childhood illnesses, and drug identification. This is an excellent first-aid book to keep by the telephone (not far from the fire extinguisher). Oh yeah, it's got a place to write down emergency phone numbers, too.

Written word about JC.......2002-12-25

This is an informative book for anyone interested in one of the jazz giants of all times. The book is of particular interest if first person narratives are to your liking since there are several sections with Trane talking about his music. For example, the interview for the Jazz Review in 1958 is as free flowing as the notes that blow through his horn. Also useful is an interview he did for a French magazine entitled Jazz Magazine where his international appeal comes forth. I also enjoyed the interview with Frank Kofsky where Trane explores topics such as Black Nationalism and the then current(60's) social and political relationship between music and politics. There are several sections taken from Downbeat Magazine and notable profiles by Ira Gitler, Ralph Gleason and Nat Hentoff. Although not limited to interviews the book also has various writers give the usual and unusual analysis of his music; there are recolllections from associates in the form of praise and critique. The other sections that deal with reviews of his concerts are interesting but not as riveting as the man in his own words. The breakdown of the recording periods is concise, factual and informative, as is in general the layout and organization of this book . Not intended as a biography this book does a good job of revealing Trane through the eyes of others as well as himself. Recommended for those wanting to go beyond the music; the man in his own words reveals the gentle giant of the saxophone.

Solid but a bit unfocused.......2001-02-03

This is a generally useful book for those interested in Coltrane's relatively brief life and musical career, although those already familiar with the saxophonist will find few surprises.

The book gathers together interviews, reminiscences, and critical commentary, as well as discographic and bibliographic references. Of the interviews, one of the best, for me, was a relatively brief one conducted with Bob Thiele, Coltrane's producer at Impulse Records. Thiele speaks in understated, yet moving tones of his relationship with Coltrane and makes clear the admiration he felt for the musician without being in the least bit sentimental. Joe Goldberg, a longtime admirer of Coltrane who became critical of the challenging material Coltrane produced late in his life, also offers a balanced view of the music. Peter Watrous's 1987 retrospective on Coltrane does a nice job of putting Coltrane's career in perspective and convincingly making the argument that Coltrane's music was as compelling 20 years after his death as it was when he was alive.

Another strength of the book are the sections that offer detailed information on each Coltrane release from the three major labels for which he recorded: Prestige, Atlantic and Impulse. Less useful, however, is the discography, which is a selected list. Why not just list everything?

Another weakness lies in the organization, or lack thereof. Sure, the book is divided into critical commentary, Coltrane in his own words, the releases, and so on. But some of the material is repetitive. Comments about his time with Monk, Miles, his practicing regimen, and so on crop up in the same language in different articles. Quotes and stories are recycled as well. Editor Woideck would have done well to consider a more thematic approach and to find some unifying thread that would better tie the material together.

Coltrane himself probably revealed why efforts to chronicle his life have been fairly difficult. As his musical stature and influence grew, he became less and less concerned with what was said about his music. He simply wanted people to listen. He was as sparing with his words as he was prolific with his notes. We're all probably best served by getting his music and listening rather than reading about him. Still, those of us who want to know as much as we can about his genius can find nuggets in books such as this.

Overview of a fascinating man.......2000-09-13

John Coltrane was a great musician, and a huge influence on the jazz music that followed him. This book does an excellent job of compliling interviews and articles that get his insights into the music, but more fascinating, into Coltrane as a person. Coltrane was a spiritual, intelligent and talented man, and both he and his music are sometimes misunderstood. This book lends insight into his goals and motivations. The book tends to get repetitive, however, as many of the same quotes come up time and again. Still, it is a sort of best of so there will be repitition, and has a great chronology and discography.
