Luckily I purchased this book about two years ago and should have reviewed it right away due to the high quality of the images and information ...             Ashley Book of Knots85 reviews Clifford Ashley Doubleday, 1944 Another perspective I'm a newbie, as I've only had my copy of Ashley for 25 years, unlike the fellow who bought his in 1945. :^) But I want to echo most of what's been said. If you're considering buying this book, how well it will fit your needs depends on what your needs are. I strongly recommend you read the 2 and 3 star reviews, as what they contain are valid comments about the book. Some of the criticisms ...             Ann Likes Red42 reviews Dorothy Z. Seymour, Nancy Meyerhoff Purple House Press, 2001 Awww...I LOVED this book when I was a little girl! This was the first book I learned to read back in the early '70s. I read it over and over until I had it memorized. I have/had brown hair and red was my favorite color too, so I really related to Ann. I am thrilled to have found it here! Can't wait to share it with my boys. :)             In Search of the Greatest Golf Swing: Chasing the Legend of Mike Austin, the Man Who Launched the World's ...34 reviews Philip Reed Da Capo Press, 2005 A fascinating read for any golfer -- and a touching story, too Ostensibly this book is half biography of little-known long driver Mike Austin and half technical discussion of Austin's revolutionary swing, many aspects of which run counter to conventional PGA wisdom. But as the artfully written narrative progresses, a third element emerges as well -- the touching story of the friendship that develops between Austin and author Reed during the writing of the ...             There's No Place Like Hope: A Guide to Beating Cancer in Mind-sized Bites41 reviews Vickie Girard Compendium Publishing & Communications, 2008 A must read for anyone affected by cancer!! First I must say....God Bless You Vickie Gerard for writing a truly inspirational book. I cannot say enough good things about this book. I love it and will read it over and over. Her quotes are amazing and I related to so much of what she wrote. It's an easy and interesting read. You will find yourself talking to the book! I was diagnosed with breast cancer and have undergone surgery, ...             I Like You56 reviews Sandol Stoddard Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, 1990 Perfect for wedding! I originally found the text from this book while looking for the perfect ceremony readings for my Sept. '08 wedding. We decided the poem was a bit long for a reading--but I really wanted to incorporate it into the ceremony in some way. On an impulse I bought the book days before the wedding (thank you 2-day shipping!) and decided to use it as a guest book though I wasn't sure how that would ...             Miss Rumphius68 reviews Barbara Cooney Viking Juvenile, 1982 A book of sheer poetry and beauty Sometimes these Caldecott gold medal winners are quite a puzzle. Take "Miss Rumphius," for example. This is such an esoteric book, who would think it suitable for children? I read it--or tried to read it--to my five-year-old great-niece. Halfway through, she took the book, closed it, and said, "Let's save this for later," and pulled another book from the stack for me to read. "Miss Rumphius" ...             12 Steps for the Recovering Pharisee (like me)33 reviews John Fischer Bethany House, 2000 Are you a Pharisee? This is a great book! I recommend it highly. Jesus's hardest words were toward the Pharisees because of their hypocrisy and pride in themselves. I recognized myself in much of this book and realized my need for humility. John tells it like it is and we need to face the truth about ourselves even when we don't like it - he tells you what to do with these attitudes and how one can be free from ...             A Dawn Like Thunder: The True Story of Torpedo Squadron Eight38 reviews Robert J. Mrazek Back Bay Books, 2009 A most interesting new look at a famous squadron Most of us naval history buffs are well familiar with Torpedo Squadron 8 and its tragic role in the battle of Midway, but this book provides interesting new insights into the airmen involved at Midway and the role of the squadron in subsequent Pacific action. By extensively researching the backgrounds of the involved pilots and crewmen, author Mrazek put a "face" on the heroes that made their ...             How to Be Like Walt: Capturing the Disney Magic Every Day of Your Life33 reviews Pat Williams, Jim Denney HCI, 2004 Every Disney fan should read this book! I have read many Disney books and Walt Disney books and this is one of my favorites. There are many Walt stories I have never read in any other book along with some great quotes. It is an inspiring book that applies lessons from Walt's life to our own. I recommend this to anybody!             Think Like a Pancreas: A Practical Guide to Managing Diabetes with Insulin26 reviews M.S. Gary Scheiner M.S.

Field Matting Leah Pub Co, 2005 A wonderful, engaging children's book Father Like a Tree is a wonderfully told, beautifully illustrated book that grew from the most innocent of origins: a "tell me a story, Daddy" moment. It's a simple story that young children will understand and invariably want to hear more than once, but it also communicates its own special message to parents who will one day watch their own little ones spread their wings and leave to build a ...             Blue Like Play Dough: The Shape of Motherhood in the Grip of God27 reviews Tricia Goyer Multnomah Books, 2009 Blue Like Play Dough If you haven't yet read this wonderful book by Tricia Goyer, you NEED to! A heartwarming tale that's hard to put it down. Especially if you're a mother. It will truly touch your heart. A MUST read!             Kids Like Me in China26 reviews Ying Ying Fry Yeong & Yeong Book Company, 1980 It sounds excellent!!! By accident, i found this site! I am Chinese and my English teachers (They are a couple)were from the US. They also adopted a girl named Evie Xuezhi Braun from Changsha just the same city as Ying Ying.I was really moved by their adoptive actions when I heard they had no kids and wanna adopt a Chinese orphan. I can still remember the time they saw me off when I started for Shanghai to work there ...             If Men Are Like Buses, Then How Do I Catch One?: When You're Standing Between Hope and Happily Ever After28 reviews Michelle McKinney Hammond Multnomah Books, 2000 This book helped me! I had just departed from a 5 yr relationship when I read this. It set my feet on a higher spiritual plateau. The title of the book was deceiving (as most of her titles) and had me thinking I was on my way to my next relationship. However, it set my sights on not just the right man, but THE MAN, the Lord! It was refreshing, empowering and encouraging. Despite the fact that Mckinney has never ...             What Do You Do with a Tail Like This?

Thank you!             Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball27 reviews Vicki Churchill, Charles Fuge Sterling, 2003 Top 5 of all time! This is simply one of our favorite books! My daughter has adored it since she was 8-months-old. She is now 15-months, and she loves to say a word or mimic some action from every page. The pictures are priceless, the rhymes are clever, and the story is precious. I'm sure we will be reading it for years to come. I am a children's book fanatic, so putting this at the top of my list is really ...             Marley a Dog Like No Other31 reviews . Harpercollins Childs, 2007 A great tale--make sure you get this kids' edition for kids My whole family thoroughly enjoyed Marley & Me. My husband received the original hardcover as a birthday gift, and he read it out loud to our eight-year old, using lots of on-the-fly Daddy editing. Grogan wrote the original Marley & Me for an adult audience, and it's really a memoir of his family life as much as a biography of his dog (a brilliant angle, really, for Grogan to be smart enough to ...             Creating Life-Like Animals in Polymer Clay27 reviews Katherine Dewey North Light Books, 2000 LOVE THIS BOOK !!!
