by: Trinny Woodall, S. Constantine, Robin Matthews, Susannah Constantine Amazon.com's Price: $15.00 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I am probably the only person in all of Britain who has bought this book without watching the series, so it has had to stand on the book alone for me. In this book two women, Trinny and Susannah, give tips on what type of clothes suit or are to be avoided for various body parts (e.g. big bust, small bust, fat tummy etc). They themselves feature modelling the clothes in question, and then list shops (British) where you can buy what suits you. These pictures can sometimes be like corny 'before and ...

by: Ina Garten List Price: $35.00 Amazon.com's Price: $22.52 You Save: $12.48 (36%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Negative reviews of this books complain that the recipes are too simple (iced tea, mac & cheese, french toast, oven-fried chicken etc..) This book's title gives the mood of the style of food--family. These are not elegant and complicated meals that entail your entire time in the kitchen away from your guests. These a fabulous recipes that everyone loves and makes them feel good. And I don't feel like these are basic either. I love iced tea and I never would have thought to mix Lemon Zinger, Red Zinger and ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Ina Garten, Martha Stewart List Price: $35.00 Amazon.com's Price: $22.57 You Save: $12.43 (36%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Before I found The Barefoot Contessa I hated cooking. Even after building a new home with a large, beautiful, functional kitchen, I wasn't interested. In fact my oven didn't get used for the first two months. Then a friend recommended Ms. Garten's book and I liked it because it looked pretty on my countertop. Since the day I opened it, my husband says I'm a changed woman. My first attempt at a recipe was Parker's Split Pea soup, which is as delicious as my mother's (sorry, mom) and sooooo simple.

| 7. Building Construction Illustrated, 3rd Edition | |
|
by: Francis D. K. Ching, Cassandra Adams List Price: $40.00 Amazon.com's Price: $27.20 You Save: $12.80 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description As an architect I worked for noted, this book gives you just enough information to make you dangerous. Ching provides a beautifully illustrated guide to basic concepts of building construction. It is a great introductory book filled with much useful information, but one can't necessarily build from this book. I use it mostly to explain construction ideas, especially when it comes to wood-frame buildings, than I do as a set of graphic standards. Ching does offer some specific information, such as thermal resistance of building ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Debbie Stoller List Price: $13.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.16 You Save: $2.79 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I got this book after seeing an interview with Debbie Stoller on the Today show and have had many hours of knitting pleasure since. The instructions are clear and have helped me to advance my skills. I'd say I'm an intermediate knitter now after reading this book. This book is a great resource for deciphering the cryptic abbreviations in patterns and introduced me to the extremely cool technique of illusion knitting. The patterns are fresh, but not too young. I'm in my early 30s and I've made several patterns for myself, along with items ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Trinny Woodall, Susannah Constantine, Robin Matthews, Trinny Woodhall List Price: $16.00 Amazon.com's Price: $11.20 You Save: $4.80 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description This book is very funny. I love looking at all the photos, and find their suggestions interesting. It cracks me up to see one looking at the other in their "don't" outfits. My mild criticism: 1.) some bits are trendy; I mean, let's face it: the dress worn over pants style is over. 2.) they left out a lot of occasions I wanted to see, like a christening, a funeral. (Does this sound strange to you? Seeing Patty Davis' debacle of an outfit at her father's funeral made me think it. 3.) The source index leaves room for improvement. I would like more ...

by: New Skete Monks List Price: $24.95 Amazon.com's Price: $16.97 You Save: $7.98 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description The breeder we bought our german shepherd puppy from recommended this book to us. I am amazed at the work the Monks of New Skete are doing for the german shepherd breed. My hope is that all breeders would use the New Skete method with their litters. If this were done, then maybe so-called "dangerous breeds" would lose their bad rap. Surely there would be less dogs in animal shelters and pet shops. I can not stress enough the importance of early human socialization, and the Monks of New Skete seem to agree. If you are planning on breeding ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
