East of the Mississippi.......2001-08-14

The National Parks of the Eastern U.S. are lovely and important historic areas, and deserve attention by all travellers to these regions. The Guide to the National Park Areas provides a short overview of each of these areas, including the lesser-known parks in each of the states. For travellers who simply want to know what is available, and what is there, this is a fine resource. However, the book does little more than list the places and tell you a bit about them. Significantly more research would be necessary in order to plan a trip to any of these places or to get much out of a visit.

A helplful guide if you plan to travel east.......2000-03-02

We found the fifth edition of this guide to be very helpful during a recent East Coast visit. The thing that impressed me most was the inclusion of smaller park areas we would ordinarily skip or miss simply because we didn't know about them. In fact, we found many of the smaller park areas (Fort Caroline in Jacksonville, FL) to be very interesting. We highly recommend this guide if you are thinking about taking in the east. We also found the western edition very helplful during our summer trip.

It goes without saying that the national parks east of the Mississippi River are both scenic and chronicled with historical lore. David and Kay Scott, experienced campers and authors of The Guide to the National Park Areas: Eastern States, corroborate those claims, substantially and naturally! Accompanying the detailed maps and essential travel information are concise statements about facilities, camping, and fishing for the eastern national park sites. This revision is even more serviceable than the earlier releases! The book is truly outstanding--illustrating the gift of America to its populace!

Book Description

For this volume of Person County genealogy, Mrs. Kendall and her sister, Mrs. Donaldson, have abstracted a number of rich and varied record collections touching on no less than 6,000 persons. The three tax lists, which are arranged by district or militia company, give the taxpayer's name, the number of acres taxed, and the number of white and black polls on his property. References in the record book abstracts, the largest component of the volume, include estate sales, suits, transfers of land, inventories of estates, apprenticeship records, abstracts of wills, powers of attorney, additional tax lists, and more. The letters of attorney give the names of the persons involved in the transfer of power of attorney, while the land grants identify the grantee, number of acres granted, date the grant was entered, and geographic location.

A Fine Field Guide and Reference.......2005-08-05

This is a fine little book and excellent value for the price. The text is readable and informative, and there are ample illustrations, albeit in black and white. The section on hallmarks alone should save the collector some expensive missteps.

This book contains a brief jewelry history form 1840 forward that is more accessible and useful than the more extensive coverage in other, historically focused books.

Includes illustrations and pricing (as of publication date, of course) for an astonishing range of antique and contemporary jewelry. A worthy reference for the collector and a book of interest to the jewelry maker or designer. If only the photos were in color, but that is perhaps too much to ask of a book in this price range and of this compact size. The size does make it something that you can easily slip into your bag for visits to the auction houses and antiques dealers.

Book Description

Racing model cars is a fascinating hobby that provides excitement for young and old alike. The name Scalextric is now so well established that it has become a generic term for electric slot-car systems. This completely revised edition of Haynes' best-selling book, first published in 1981, offers the level of detail and comprehensive data demanded by the aficionado. A complete guide to models that have been marketed under the brand name of Scalextric since their introduction in 1957, it brings the story right up to date and includes details and illustrations of 2004 models.

Gladpuppy1 made a BIG mistake.......2002-06-27

Gladpuppy1 stated that my book included this phrase: "Used frying oils make excellent soups when strained."

In reality, what I wrote was this: "Used frying oils make excellent SOAPS when strained." This is on page 30.

Readers can make their own decisions about the validity of the remainder of the reviewer's comments.

By the way, I was not able to post this comment without entering a "star rating" -- otherwise, I would have left it blank.

Thanks for considering my book!

A useful book.......2002-06-26

My wife and I have read and used "How To Develop A Low-Cost Family Food-Storage System," and have found it to be a useful centering point for our stocking up activities. We both recommend this book.

On a side note, one of the reviews of this book appearing on this site misrepresents one of Mrs. Evangelista's statements, definitely casting doubt on her credibility. The writer of the review states that the author advocates taking retreaved cooking oil from restaurants and turning it into "soups." I thought this was rather odd for anyone to suggest, so I looked up the reference. Evangelista says: "Used frying oils make excellent soaps [not soups], when strained ..." There is, I think, a big difference between soap and soups. I suggest the reviewer, who gave the book a one star rating, read the book for comprehension next time around. I give that reader's review a no-star rating.

Anita Evangelista is a good writer, and reading this book, and her other farm-related books, will be useful to country dwellers and city-dwellers alike.

A useful, little book.......2002-06-24

Everyone needs a starting point when it comes to acquiring knowledge. This book is one of those points. This may not be the be-all and end-all of food storage books, but it tells you how to get started, and once you take that step, you are on your way. The information you then encounter either becomes self-evident, or you gain enough know-how in the process to "track down" additional facts. I found every page in "HOW TO DEVELOP A LOW- COST FAMILY FOOD STORAGE SYSTEM" useful. Anita Evangelista talks from a life of experience. Everyone should own this book. Highly recommended.

Not a book I would ever recommend.......2001-11-28

I'm sorry, I wish I could give this book higher marks, but about the best thing I can say about it, is that buying this book wasn't a very expensive mistake. (...).
The author has a pleasant style, but the book is limited to her brief observations and opinions on the various topics and provides virtually no detailed information on food storage. It is more of an overview, with very general one and two page descriptions of various food collection methods and a few storage methods. Less than four pages are devoted to the chapter "How to Determine your Food Storage Needs". Chapter three, "Low Cost Food Sources" gives you just a page or two each on gardening, backyard lifestock, bulk buying, MREs, buddy buying, bartering, foraging/hunting and gleaning. And so on.
Much of the content will be extremely disappointing to anyone who wants to approach food storage as a serious endeaver. For example, the author devotes several pages to "dumpster diving" as an excellent way to collect free food food, while never once mentioning the possibilities of pesticide residue, animal feces, spoilage etc, stating only that "there is a possibility of exposure to disease if foods have set around for a while".
Here is a quote from that section: "Most fast-food restaurants have regulations about how long food may sit under heat lamps. At closing time, late in the evening, all cooked foods must be thrown out. Dumpsters behind these establishments - as well as at larger restaurants - often have pounds of cooked leftover fries, pizza and fish steaks in them. Used frying oils make excellent soaps when strained..."
Would you consider this a legitimate food source and advice worth paying for? If so, then this book is for you. On the other hand, if you want a comprehensive guide to building a food storage and self-sufficency system, give this book a miss and buy "Making the Best of Basics" by James Talmage Stevens. You will be very glad you did. The Stevens book could be the only resource you need to get your family storage in order. This book doesn't even provide a good starting point.
Final details - 106 pages + index, thin paperbook half sheet size 8.25" x 5.5". No color pics, no charts, a few small drawings, a couple of canning time tables and a few recipes, mostly for veggie wines and pickles. No bibliography or reference credits (which about says it all for useful content). No government tables, no food viability charts, etc. Published by Breakout Publications.
My apologies for an earlier typo in this review. However, I stand by my comments. Try Stevens book instead.

Book Description

The no-holds-barred, brutally honest journey of a musician who made it from the suburbs to the top of the charts: graced the covers of every music magazine, toured the U.K. and U.S., lived the rock-n-roll dream and is still alive (barely) to talk about it. This is a who's who of the entertainment industry as James Freud got up close and personal with everyone from Kylie Minogue to Andy Warhol and Lady Di.

A surprise find - definitely worth while reading.......2007-02-02

This was a random pick for me. I wasn't sure what to expect but was surprised at how much I liked this book. Enough to write a review which I never ever do.

One of the initial quotes is "I hate the music industry" and it's easy to see why after reading this. The story starts off with James explaining how years of excess finally caught up with him and left him in a critical condition in hospital fighting for his life. Then the story of how he arrived in this hell unfolds.

Even if you didn't grow up in Australia in the 80s during The Models glorious years or have never heard of this band I think this is still an entertain read of the rock n' roll lifestyle told in a painfully honest and funny way. The story of an individual in a band trying to be the next big thing, make money and deal with addiction to alcohol. It doesn't glamorize the lifestyle, it's brutally honest. In fact it's a great warning for any band member contemplating entering this world. This successful band was left with nothing but debts at the end. The music business can be brutal.

I rarely rate a book of rock n roll excess worth reading but this one is well written and entertaining read. I'd make it mandatory reading for all band members.
