Living and Working in Spain: A Survival Handbook (Living & Working in Spain) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I came across this book yesterday in a library and spent some time reading its most relevant chapters. I was very amused by the fantasies made up all along these chapters by its imaginative author.Here are some (non 100% literal) excerpts from the book: "Robbery is widespread in Spain", "Spaniards usually...

The Mom's Guide to Growing Your Family Green: Saving the Earth Begins at Home (Stonesong Press Books) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Living in a newly incorporated city, this book has spurred my interest into finding out what programs my community offers and what, if any, master energy plan is set for my city's future. I love the benefit of the plentiful pages of resources that may help jump-start a green energy plan/program for individuals,...

The Frugal Gardener: How to Have More Garden for Less Money Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Frugal Gardener is a great book of gardening strategy for those of us who want to (or have to) stay within a small budget. As it turns out, the frugal way is also the organic way, generally. TFG is organized to guide you through long-range strategies that will save you money in both short-term and...

Twelve Bags Fulled Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Terry has designed 12 lovely bags to knit & full [I call it felt]. I think there is something for everyone in this book. The photos are beautiful and the instructions are very clear. My personal favorites are the bags with flowers, the watermelon bag, and Terry's updated look on the "brown bag."...

The Guide to Owning Discus Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've read several Discus books, some really good ones from Bernd Degen, and I really didn't like this one. It doesn't focus on anything at all and it has no hints about keeping them (despite the sub-title in the front page) beside temperature. Some average pictures after all, from the TFH archive.Click...

Black & Decker Advanced Home Plumbing: Hundreds of Step-by-Step Photos Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Buy "The Complete Guide to Home Plumbing" instead of this book. The latter was published a year later and contains the exact information (down to the photos) as this book but has so much more. I don't understand why Creative Publishing continues to release this.Click Here to see more reviews about: Black...

Leslie Beck's 10 Steps to Healthy Eating: How to Boost Energy, Manage Weight, and Prevent Disease with Food, Diet and Nutr Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)One of my interests is health so I often read books about health. One book I just read is called "10 Steps to Healthy Eating" by Leslie Beck. I enjoyed it (but I am a health guy so like stuff like this). It reinforces everything I already know and what my mother always said. I liked the sections on how...

The Story of Mr. Allergyhead Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Mimi Borger's The Story of Mr. Allergyhead is a great book for parents of children with allergies, and even parents of non-allergenic children, who wish to raise their children in a safe, non-toxic environment. Steps are provided to help weed out possible irritants that may cause physical problems as...

Green Shingles: At the Edge of Chesapeake Bay Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I liked this book. Because of its cover, first. Because of its writing, second. And because of its humor. Mr. Svenson takes himself seriously--as he should, being a Master of Fine Arts (MFA). But he lets his hair down when he describes what it took for him and his wife (at midlife) to buy their green-shingled...

Way Under Contract Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm a realtor and this book nailed the multitude of personalities, motivations, and quirky characters that inhabit the real estate world. From the legal forms we routinely deal with (and often don't understand ourselves), to the greed, selfishness, and foibles of buyers, sellers, investors, and lawyers...

Fat Is Not Your Fate: Outsmart Your Genes and Lose the Weight Forever Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you have a history of alcoholism or drug addiction, or binge eating, take a look at the Phenotype A food plan. Genetically, Phenotype A people may have low levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine or serotonin. Their "feel-good" genes don't work, leading them to alleviate their "lows" in some other...

Deer & Deer Hunting: Book 1: The Serious Hunter's Guide (Bk.1) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book was not very helpful. It has some good information in it, but it was not really that tight and as a collection of articles it lacked unity. I'd read something else.not recommended.nic gibsonClick Here to see more reviews about: Deer & Deer Hunting: Book 1: The Serious Hunter's Guide (Bk.1)Deer...

Mrs. Clean Jean's Housekeeping with Kids: Family Pickup Lines (and Household Routines) That Work with Less Work from You Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this book with great hope. I need some help to get my home together and keep it that way. However, reading this book just depressed me - no way could I [or would I] do what she does in this book. I thought most of her advice was just plain obsessive. Her family cleans their crown molding and...

Just Fix It Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book does contain some useful information, but you could use a lot more. Most sections seemed to me to provide a person with less than a really good knowledge base for approaching the task, although the painting section is pretty good. There aren't very many illustrations. If you really want to...

Mummies & Their Mysteries (Carolrhoda Photo Books) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is to me, without a doubt, one of the best non-fiction book for kids ever created. It's a great book!The pictures are wonderful- from a baby mammoth preserved for hundreds of thousands of years to the oldest mummy of a human being ever found (5000 years old!). The facts are interesting, too- for...

Bathrooms Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)There is nothing particularly fascinating about this book due to the dryness of the writing. As a "How To Design a Bathroom" book, this one hits all the major points, but it does not inspire a design with the photographs picked. There were not enough bathrooms shown due to the extensive repetition of...

What's Your Secret?: How One Centerfold Stays Alluring and Fit Past the Age of Fifty Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'll admit, I was first a little off-put by buying a book by a former playboy centerfold. However, that being said, that is my problem. I also believe if Ms. Antonaccio had a different title/different book cover, she would get many more reviews. I don't know how many books she has sold. However, that...
