Having just recently 'graduated' from making scarves and just about anything else square or rectangular that didn't require patterns or gauge concerns, i was feeling a bit intimidated and confused over some knitting basics. i have a generous assortment of knitting books, and some are more helpful than others. this is one of the best ones. i find these instructions to be extremely friendly and ...             The Great Redwall Feast20 reviews Brian Jacques Philomel, 1996 Wonderful introduction to Redwall!

Mises' Socialism is, perhaps, the most sociologically and economically "sound" theoretical attack on socialism to date. Happily, Dr. Mises' general position has been promulgated in economic journals since the post-war generation, and is the topic of the still relevant "calculation debate." It is not so pleasant that the insights of Mises are largely ignored by the sociology profession (probably ...             And There Was Light: Autobiography of Jacques Lusseyran, Blind Hero of the French Resistance28 reviews Jacques Lusseyran Morning Light Press, 1998 Amazing Book Possibly the most remarkable book ever written by someone blind. All who are blind or have anything to do with the blind should read this book. Yet even people who, like me, have normal sight will learn to see more deeply thru this book. The author describes in great detail a truly "enlightened" life and what that means in the most difficult and inhumane situations. A true treasure full of ...             Martin the Warrior261 reviews Brian Jacques Putnam Publishing Group, 1994 amazing This is in my opinion the best book of a simply amazing series. It follows the story of Martin the Warrior, a legendary character in the Redwall series. Although it wasn't the first book written in the series chronologically, it's probably the best to read first - and if you were to only read a single Redwall book it should be this. Courage, honor, romance, adventure, revenge...this book ...             Mattimeo217 reviews Brian Jacques Random House, 1994 Weston from Lake Tapps" Great book-read it" You want a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat well then this is the book for you.

He has done it again. Brian Jacques has effortlessly rendered another masterpiece worthy of all these big words that I am using. If you are not glued to your Kindle by the first 50 pages, you should make an appointment with your local psychiatrist. Read the book. Now.             Jacques Cousteau: The Ocean World (Abradale)13 reviews Jacques-Yves Cousteau Harry N. Abrams, 1985 Wonderful and complete This was one of the first books my parents ever bought me which I read all by myself. It is still one of my favorite books and one of the few from my childhood that I have not donated to the local library. This book was written by Jacques Cousteau, the famous French oceanographer, inventor of numerous diving devices and technologies and maybe one of the most famous scientists of the 20th ...             Dessert Circus : Extraordinary Desserts You Can Make At Home (Pbs Series)13 reviews Jacques Torres, Christina Wright, ..., 1998 Almost as good as at Le Cirque! Jacques is an excellent teacher who doesn't seem to try to omit an ingredient or a secret technique as some chefs do. He is eager to share his thoughts on how to make each recipe a success and even includes the decorative touches that make people ooh and ahh. I've tried, and with great success, the desserts involving Jacques' light puff pastry and the tender flaky tart shell recipes and they ...             Jacques Villeneuve: A Champion in Pictures11 reviews Jacques Villeneuve Hazleton Pub Ltd, 1998 The best Villeneuve book on the market!

Jacques Imprint unknown, 1973 The Redwall Series Hi I'm Midnight Fire I'm 13 years old. I think Brian Jacques' Redwall series is astounding. What makes his books great are the originality of his writing. He doesn't use people but animals, and for each animal he would use a different accent. Each of his animals would have a different personality that would make the book far more interesting than others. Brian Jacques has inspired young writers ...             Cooking With Claudine (Jacques Pepin's Kitchen)11 reviews Jacques Pepin KQED Books, 1996 If you want to make esquisite fabulous food, buy this book!

Abrams, 2003 The Library as Sanctuary The libraries presented here exude supreme reverence for the book and its contents as towering human achievements. One is hard-pressed to doubt the immortality of the texts contained within each binding. Despite the lofty craftsmanship of the art, architecture and the bindings themselves, they have served their purpose only if a reader has been invited, if not lured, to match their dignity. ...             Marlene Dietrich: Photographs and Memories11 reviews Jean Jacques Naudet, Maria Riva Thames & Hudson Ltd, 2001 La Dietrich If you were a fan of Dietrich and were allowed to own only ONE book about this woman, then this should be the book to own.

I would recommend that anyone read the Redwall books. I've read them all, some more than once, and I can't wait for the Ledgend of Luke to come out. I think there should be many, many more than the present 11. I think there should be more like 111. I'd read them all, too. One of my best friends is as obsessed with them as I am. She can read one in less than a day. I can read one in a couple of ...             Icons of the 20th Century: 200 Men and Women Who Have Made a Difference11 reviews Barbara Cady, Jean-Jacques Naudet Overlook Hardcover, 1998 A real collectors Item Unlike a number of other books about the ranking of the "greatest" of the 20th century, this book does not rank anyone.
