great doorknob book
very good for identification of door hardware. Not so great for timelines of makers,marks or anything else that was not in the pictures presented. It was helpful and a good book to own, but it is very narrow in scope to entrance door type hardware.

My new favorite!
Crazy delicious and easy to use recipes. My new staple is the sweet corn chowder.

The summertime vibe is now very much alive in my home(and it isn't even summer yet!).
