Book Description

Collecting handkerchiefs is one of the few affordable areas of collecting in which the collectible also takes up very little space. Most people have preconceived notions of what hankies arewhite cotton or linen square, decorated with a bit of lace or embroidery and are surprised and delighted with what they see in this bookcolor, pattern, and humor. Whats more, these hankies are a social history of their time, the 1940s and 1950s. With World War II, women became Rosie the Riveters, making their own money and enjoying their independence. The hankies in Handkerchiefs: A Collectors Guide, Volume 2, reflect this new equality with their bright, optimistic colors and subjects. New social conventions, such as road trips, barbecues, and the cocktail hour, which became the fabric of America in the decade after the war, were chronicled in handkerchiefs. This book brings out the collector in anyone who inherited hankies from a mother or grandmother, or who enjoys good design. There are no repeats from Volume 1 in the more than 600 new examples shown.

Hanky Collectors Dream Book.......2007-07-12

This book gives lots of information about companies and patterns. The prices are not really realistic some low some high but the information the book is great.Handkerchiefs: A Collector's Guide (Identification & Values)

I love hankies.......2007-05-24

This collector's guide is full of good information, and the photos are phenomenal! I was looking for more history, I guess, but the book is exactly what the title claims. Well written and fun to read.

Delightful Memories.......2005-10-19

While I am not a collector, I truly appreciated the artful display and extensive variety of handkerchiefs in this feature. It touched a chord from my childhood of memories of the influential women in my life (from relatives to the good Dominican nuns at school) and the delightful little "hankies" they all seemed to mysteriously keep tucked up their sleeves. How interesting to see the authors track the development of the various types and designs.

Book Description

Frank Lloyd Wright was arguably the greatest American architect of the 20th century. Many admire his memorable designs, such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York, but assume it would be far too costly to apply his ideas to their own homes. Yet it was one of Wright's central beliefs that modern homes could be both well-designed and affordable. This book shows how Wright's philosophy touched all aspects of day-to-day life, thus influencing his ideas for residential design. Numerous examples of homes designed by Wright and Taliesin Architects (the firm founded by Wright's students after his death) are presented in stunning photographs to inspire readers who wish to create their own unique home following Wright's "organic" concepts.

OK, interesting to some, but more of Rattenbury's live and influence from Wright. This is not a must buy. Find it in the library and have a read. Save your $$$.

nice, light, stress free reading.......2004-02-22

This is such a great book. Its basically not a read-once-and -done book. Rather it is a read once and take with you to the beach and read again or simply refer back to. The book definitely put me in a relaxed mindset. A very pleasant and enjoyable read.

Book Description

This day-by-day account of the career of the Rolling Stones charts the early years of the 1960s, the conquering of England, Europe, and America, the death of Brian Jones, and the controversial American tours at the end of 1969.

Book Description

Benjy has nightmares about his upcoming Bar Mitzvah ceremony. Rachel's grief over Grandma Hannah's illness turns her away from her temple. Jaci wrestles with peer pressure by day and angels by night, and when Cain and Abel double-date... well, growing up has never been easy.

As these and nine other stories in With All My Heart, with All My Mind demonstrate, growing up Jewish adds its own twists and turns to the challenge. As we approach the end of the millennium, what does "growing up Jewish" mean? How can young people reconcile centuries of tradition with the modern world? Can they embrace their religion "with all my heart, with all my mind"?

Award-winning author and editor Sandy Asher posed these and other questions to thirteen Jewish writers: herself, Eve B. Feldman, Merrill Joan Gerber, Jacqueline Dembar Greene, Johanna Hurwitz, Eric A. Kimmel, Sonia Levitin, Carol Matas, Gloria D. Miklowitz, Susan Beth Pfeffer, Ruth Minsky Sender, Phyllis Shalant, and Jane Breskin Zalben. From the last days of Masada to the future colonization of the moon, these stories provide unique and personal insights. in the interviews following each story, the authors discuss their own experiences growing up Jewish.

These are stories that will make you laugh, cry, think, and above all, help you to explore what it means to be a Jew.

A portion of the money generated from the sale of this book will be donated to MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger.

Customer Reviews:

A Good idea for a book - which succeeds.......1999-11-30

Thirteen years of age, the time of Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, on the cusp of young adulthood, when you are able to make tentative decisions for yourself. Asher captures this time with these 13 original stories. What can I add to what has been said above? Not much, except that Susan Beth Pfeffer's (Little Women) "Cain and Abel Double-Date" is priceless and I think most readers will relate to it. Another shining story is Eric Kimmel's (Magic Dreidels) story of stolen Pesach dishes, and faith in a Nazi concentration camp (it sounds weird, I know, but you have to read it).

The Joy And Drama Of The Jewish Experience

Growing up Jewish in America has inspired some of teh best works of fiction and nonfiction ever writen. Here are twenty-five moving, comical and insightful tales of childhood and adolescence by some of teh most well-loved and gifted writers in the Jewish-American literary tradition.

First-generation immigrants tell of facing the barrier of a foreirn language and anti-Semitism upon their arrival. Their children reveal how they bridged the gap between the old world and the new, grappling with the perils of assimilation. Finally, today's younger writers offer spirited accounts of contemporary Jewish identity. Distinguished by sonderful stroytelling, Growing Up Jewish stands as a testament to the essential Jewish contribution to the mosaic of American literature.

Customer Reviews:

An interesting collection .......2005-01-16

This is an interesting collection a strange mixture of memoir and fictional accounts of growing up Jewish in America. I found Ari Goldman's story of his parent's divorce when he was six, and how he contended with this especially interesting. Philip Roth on the friends of his high- school years was also very good. I honestly did not find anything ' great' in the work but there is a lot of good and pleasurable work here. I would too have liked to see a greater focus on the religious aspect of growing up Jewish.

KEEPING MEMORIES ALIVE.......2000-06-25

Avon Books has produced another gem in its "Growing Up" series this time focusing on a minority religious group that has had an overwhelming impact on American and European cultures. Growing Up Jewish tells the story from the perspective of twenty-five Jewish writers who share with us their early memories of coming of age in America. Each author celebrates their heritage through fictional stories, essays and autobiographies. Why, one might ask, do we need another book about Jewish life in America? After all, isn't there an abundance of material on the subject? Haven't they assimilated themselves into the American landscape to the point of being no different from their gentile counter-parts? Although the above question are pertinent they miss the point. A people ceases to exist when the stories and memories are forgotten from one generation to another. Growing Up gives the reader a snapshot of these rich memories of young people as immigrants, conflicts with their religious practices from the old country, prejudices from their gentile communities and other challenges which calls into question what it means to be Jewish in America. The sharing of these stories brings with it clarity for some and even more questions for others. This is a must read book for those wanting to re-aquaint themselves with their Jewish heritage as well as a great literary resource of the finest Jewish writers in America. Keeping memories alive is even more important as we enter an age where memory is denied ( the Holocaust never happened), assimilation has dulled cultural and religious recall and antisemitism once again rears its ugly head.
