I read the reviews and just had to go out and buy it for myself! I've been looking for a cookbook with EVERY classic American comfort food recipe, and this is it! It has everything from Appetizers (Spinach-Artichoke Dip and Deviled Eggs) to Breakfast (Biscuits and Gravy; French Toast and Oatmeal), Main Dishes (Chicken Parmesan, Turkey Tetrazzini, Crown Roast) to Sides (Green ...             Evaluation of new nuclear density gauges on asphalt concrete191 reviews Garnell Belt Available through the National Technical Information Service, 1991 Little Prince speaks to the child in me I was an adult when i read this book, and i really appreciated the lessons in life that Saint-Exupery shares through the Little Prince. A great book, full of beautiful illustrations, easy to read, while fun and sad at the same time. I personally read it as if Exupery is sharing with us the conversations he has with his own inner child, in the image of the Little Prince. That is why the ...             Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie: The Oregon Trail Diary of Hattie Campbell, 1847 (Dear America Series)164 reviews Kristiana Gregory Scholastic, 2002 Wonderful I love 'Oregon Trail' stories and this one was no exception. The story is stunningly written, and a careful line is trod between emphasizing the dangers and discomforts of the trail without making the story seem scary or unpleasant to the reader. My only real gripe about this book (and not even a big enough gripe to drop a star, so take it for the whining that it is) is that the adult ...             Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (In 4 Parts)5424 reviews J.K. Rowling National Braille Press, Inc., 1999 First step in a long, exciting journey... Let me start like this.. I was never into Harry Potter. Well, at least not like I am now. I was a fan of the movies but that was about it. Then I was told to read the books, I figured, what the hell. So I started with Half Blood Prince and then Deathly Hollows. Wow. If I read pretty much the last 1/4 of this series and got so sucked into it, I owed it to myself to take the whole trip through this ...             Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4)5175 reviews J.K. Rowling National Braille Press, Inc., 2000 GREAT BOOKS -- great find I ordered this book used/very good condition for my daughter. When the book came it smelled of smoke. I e-mailed GREAT BOOKS and they promptly sent another book is wonderful condition. GREAT BOOKS - Great customer service - great find. JB             Mastering the Art of French Cooking (Volume 1)67 reviews Julia Child, Simone Beck, ... Knopf, 1983 Nirvana! This book bring together years of cooking by recipe. It actually explains things so I can understand why I'm doing them.             Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking112 reviews Marcella Hazan Knopf, 1992 An essential book for a beginning chef... ...I've referred to this book over the years for technique and authenticity of Italian cooking...it is a wonderful book. I agree that it is on par with Julia Child's French cookbook. I've made many of the recipes and they are fabulous....the poached shrimp, easy and delicious...the grilled shrimp with flavored breadcrumbs is another favorite, the Lemon, garlic & parsley chicken cutlets is ...             Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban2598 reviews J.K. Rowling National Braille Press, Inc., 2000 The series truly begins. I love Prisoner of Azkaban. I think that this was the novel that really hooked me into the series. I have a hard time writing a literary review of any of the Rowling novels mainly because I do not feel like I'm reading a novel when I read these books, I feel like I'm on vacation. I'm transported into another world and forget to look at the subtext or deeply analyze anything that the writer is ...             How the Grinch stole Christmas (Children's braille book club)87 reviews Seuss National Braille Press, 1988 the best children's book EVER !!! How The Grinch Stole Christmas is a classic tale about greed, materialism, and the kindness of man for his fellow man all wrapped up in one great big package! The illustrations are wonderful and the rhyming text impresses me. This is a story by Dr. Seuss that is so popular it was made into a Christmastime TV special; and it deserves every bit of recognition that it gets. (Note: this story is ...             Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination (Saunders Comprehensive Review for Nclex-Rn)117 reviews Linda Anne Silvestri Saunders, 2007 Thanks for the book Thanks for the book it was exactly as described and shipped quickly. Look forward to doing business with you again.             These happy golden years51 reviews Laura Ingalls Wilder Produced in braille for the Library of Congress, National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, by Associated Services for the Blind, 1998 Another winner from Ms. Ingalls-Wilder! Now fifteen-years-old, Laura Ingalls can't help but crave getting a job in order to help her family. Ever since her first taste of earning her own money, she is determined to find another position that complements her skills. Besides, with Mary away at college, as much as Laura misses the companionship of her beloved sister, she can't help but feel compelled to assist her family in keeping Mary ...             Everest51 reviews Broughton Coburn National Geographic, 2003 Mt Everest: spectacular photography I bought this book for the photography alone: this is as close as I am ever likely to get to the Himalayas. The photographs are spectacular, and I can see why so many people are challenged to want to make the journey to Base Camp if not further. Appearances can be deceptive: beautiful colour photographs portray a seemingly benevolent picture of Everest which is quite at odds with reality. ...             Make way for ducklings (Children's Braille Book Club)51 reviews Robert McCloskey National Braille Press, 1988 A Great Book! I haven't actually read this book in many years but it was a favorite of mine as a child. I remember my mother reading it to me night after night after night and then taking a trip into Boston to see all of the places mentioned. It's a great story and the illustrations are beautiful. I now use it as a gift for new moms to read to their children.             The castle of Llyr (Chronicles of Prydain)49 reviews Lloyd Alexander National Braille Press Inc, 1993 Great Kid's Book As a kid I read the Prydain books again and again. I can't resist some Harry Potter comparisons, and since they make a good common point of reference, I'll use the device here. The Prydain books aren't quite as exciting and magical as HP, but they have many of the same coming of age problems expressed through allegory, and frankly I find the characters better developed, more humorous, and more ...             Back to Basics for the Republican Party, Second Edition59 reviews Michael Zak Michael Zak, 2001 A must read for all conservatives As the chairman of the fastest growing and most active Young Republican group in my tri-state area I need books like this to more quicky educate conservatives. Whether candidate, supporter, or voter it is pertinent to understand the core values of Republicanism as well as our rich history. Back to Basics for the Republican Party is a terrific book about our values and history. It is in a ...             The Pastry Queen: Royally Good Recipes from the Texas Hill Country's Rather Sweet Bakery & Cafe50 reviews Rebecca Rather, Alison Oresman Ten Speed Press, 2004 Yummmmmmm! Just the recipe of the ALL SOLD OUT CHICKEN POT PIES alone is reason enough to buy this book. They are incredible! The Texas tortilla soup is a favorite. The desserts are extra yummy too.             ECHELON: Somebody's Listening53 reviews Jack O'Neill Word Association, 2005 Echelon - An Informative Cliff-hanger Unfortunately, the suspense and rapid movement of events in the book kept me up, reading late at night to find out how the drama would unfold I also found the book very informative in the area of modern communication monitoring. It's a good read.             Homer Price59 reviews Robert McCloskey National Aid to Visually Handicapped, 1970 Nostalgic hilarity for young people and adults as well! You'll roll on the floor holding your splitting sides when you read about Homer Price and the crazy doughnut machine. This is great midwestern 40s stuff, still suitable today for both early teens and self-actualized adults alike. Homer Price is a kid who's oblivious to difficult challenges. His antics causes each of us to mentally return to the days when frutrations were few and obstructions ...             New Food of Life: Ancient Persian and Modern Iranian Cooking and Ceremonies55 reviews Najmieh Batmanglij Mage Publishers, 1992 Stunningly beautiful cookbook I have to admit, this may not be the most practical cookbook out there. It does feature some tough-to-find ingredients (such as "barberries," "Persian lime powder", etc.), and there are a lot of kebab type recipes that call for grilling - not the most practical for a busy weeknight cook. Some of the recipes here will require a commitment of time. However, that said, there are also many recipes ...             Dinotopia: A land apart from time52 reviews James Gurney National Braille Press, inc, 1995 realistic alternative history This book has a lot about dinosaur names and how the dinosaurs lived, even the plants they eat. There are a lot of pictures that can help you to learn to recognize them. It is all very well drawn. But it has a different perspective because they think of time differently, not as 1 o'clock but as when to do certain things, such as times to harvest. It is very good realistic fiction because ...              search for books american, ancient, azkaban, braille, campbell, ceremonies, children, christmas, chronicles, comprehensive, concrete, cookbook, cooking, dinotopia, ducklings, echelon, essentials, evaluation, everest, examination, italian, listening, lonesome, mastering, nclex-rn, prisoner, republican, saunders, somebody, sorcerer books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
