the Mall could be such a scary Place.

This book is about a woman that thinks that she is not pretty, and she works in a mall that is haunted. There are strange things happening like: the manager of the store got a call in the morning when the mall wasn't even open. There is a guy that is foolowing her, everywhere she is, there is him watching her. He whispered her name in the crow, his eyes are looking for her evrywhere. That man at first he was just a customer, but then he appears everywhere. With his thousands faces making her crazy. He knows everything about her secrets.
I recommend this book only for the peole who like scared stories, maybe for age 14. My opinion about this book is that it is very interesting but is a little biot scary, anyway but I love to read or watch scary thigs. If you imagine the things that are happening with her you'll be very scared. Try to do that and you'll find the book more interesting, if you like scary things.
This book is connected a little to the movie "Haunted House", because there are faces everywhere looking at what people are doing in the house. They are tromenting the other people, making their life horrible and crazy.

i really enjoyed this book it was very suspenceful you never knew what was going to happen next. i hope i can find a book like this again

Because there is not a book description for this book, I am going to write what it says on the back of the book, then I will tell you my opinion of the book:

"Trish smiles into the dressing-room mirror, admiring herself in the gorgeous white dress. Unknown to her, someone else is satching. He knows she is smiling just for him. His soft, strange voice whispers her name from the crowd. His hooded eyes follow her every move....

At first she thinks he's just a creepy customer, hanging around Muffin Mania where she works at the mall. But suddenly he's everywhere, the man with a thousand faces tormenting her day and night. He knows her secrets. There's no safe place to hide. There's no one she can tell, no one she can trust. How can she escape a madman willing to kill to make her his--forevermore."

This is one of the first books that I ever read by Cusick, and I liked it a lot. Trish works at the local mall with her friends Nita and Imogene. There she meets two guys, Wyatt and Storm. She kindof has this thing for Storm, but she can't trust anyone, and he seems mysterious. The reason she can't trust anyone is because there is a weird mysterious guy following her around in the mall, and other places as well. Trish starts to become paranoid, and she has good reason to. She even gets hurt by this weirdo. Read this book to find out what happens, and you won't regret it! The ending is surprising!

Richie Tankersley Cusick has got to be my favorite author. I have loved every book that I have read by her. I know many other people love her books as well, and I don't understand why her books are not being printed anymore! It's so hard to find them!

Here are the other great books that I have read by this author:
The Lifeguard
Vampire
Someone at the Door
Trick or Treat
Overdue
The Drifter
Scarecrow
Silent Stalker, which isn't as good as the others, but it is still pretty good.

Ok, I have to admit that the first time I read this book was about ten years ago, when I was fourteen. Yeah, I'm a big girl and yet I took it off my shelf and read it again after all this time. The story somehow stuck in my mind, the creepy cover haunted my memory.

After reading more grown up stuff for the past years, I felt like I had to lower my thinking a bit to get into this teenage world, but I have enjoyed the story once again.

Trish is being stalked by a man with a thousand faces, and she isn't safe anywhere, even in her own head. The mall, a place of fun and games is suddenly a maze of deadly possibilities, and chased by a madman, real or not, is quite a scary ride.

Very good book, for any age! Enjoy

This book is a great resource for anyone who wants to find unique fashion in unusual places. Christa Weil not only provides good advice on how to spot fabulous finds but she provides terrific tips on taking care of quality clothes. Everyone who loves clothes will love this book. But the best result of getting this book is the reaction of my 12-year old daughter. After reading the book she has been motivated to take better care of her clothes and has turned her room into a clothes boutique...dress forms and all!

I received this book as a Christmas present from my mother last year. It was so fascinating that I ended up reading it cover-to-cover on Christmas day. My mother has been sewing for almost 40 years, and Weil included many details that even my mother didn't know. I really liked how Weil included a section on fibers and their origins (including synthetics). I'm not much of a consignment shopper, but the information on construction and spotting quality have been more helpful than I could ever imagine. Not only did it help me go through my closet and spot things to dontate to Goodwill, but it also helped me spot a beautiful vintage raincoat at Goodwill today for $5.

This is oneof the best books to read if you're interested in, or if you collect and wear, vintage clothing. From how to read the quality of materials and workmanship in a garments, to how to take care of cleaning them, the information is presented in a witty, informative, useful way. Weil has not only great information, but a way with words and the turn of a phrase, which made the book that much more enjoyable to read. While I personally would love to have seen more illustrations than the many that are already in the book (e.g. of the different button holes styles, zippers, etc.) and pictures of some outfits having the design elements discussed, as I'm greedy for more vintage info all the time, not having these included doesn't detract from this book in the least. One can only hope that Weil continues to write about this subject, as she's thorough, knowledgeable, and writes well. Her book is a pleasure for the senses in all ways. If you buy one book about vintage clothing, buy this one. You won't be disappointed.

Everytime I pick up this book, I get a serious urge to shop! It is an absolutely superb resource! I love it, I love it, I love it! My coffee table book!

Christa? You really did it well! This is a comprehensive, funny, well-researched resource book on the fabrics, markers of quality clothing, labels, and flaws in secondhand finds. It is the best single source of information for secondhand shoppers that I have ever come across! Cheers!

I really liked this cookbook because it was easy to follow and full of common sense things to prepare. It focuses on the types of food that normal people will enjoy and does not require you to be an "expert" cook. The directions are clear and logical in the way they are discussed. I also liked the layout and the way the book is bound. You can lay this out on the counter and since its spiral bound it will lay flat on whatever section you're following without you having to put something on top of it like you do with the hardcover cookbooks. Very thoughtful idea.

Janne Taubman's DinnerOnTime offers even the most novice kitchen cook with simple recipes that will make him or her look and feel like a gourmet chef! The day-by-day, up-to-the-final-minute timeline that will enable the cook to get the entire meal of selected dishes on the table -- and on time. Taubman's creative, inexpensive, uncomplicated centerpieces will grace any table. Her detailed shopping lists will prevent any last-minute, time-consuming trips to the market. From a Thanksgiving dinner for sixteen; a buffet dinner for twenty-five; a Christmas and a New Year's Eve dinner for eight; to an intimate Valentine's Day special dinner for two; a Passover dinner for twenty, an Easter dinner for eight, a stylish dinner party for eight, DinnerOnTime has all the information, ideas, and instructions laid out in a true "user friendly" fashion. Of special delight is her Summer Holiday Barbecue dinner for twelve, Summer Dinner Party dinner for six, and a Brunch for sixteen. Highly recommended!

This book is sooooo easy to use and I love the recipes. I've used it more than any other cook book I own. It's imaginative and concise. What more can you ask for - except a personal chef!!! Try it - you'll love it too.

I was panicked at the prospect of my first Thanksgiving dinner. But serving 16 people was downright simple, thanks to DinnerOnTime. This book outlines every detail, from what you should buy to when you should buy it to how and when you should prepare it so everything is on the table at the same time. And the food was delicious! Everyone asked me for recipes...I had to confess that my secret was this easy-to-use book!

When preparing a large meal, there's nothing like extra hands in the kitchen ... but many of us don't have that luxury. DinnerOnTime is like cooking with a friend. Clear, comfortable, organized, spiral bound ... it saves time in so many ways and gives that edge of confidence, all because someone already knew what they were doing and put it down paper for us. Thanks, Janne!

This is a good story. The guidelines recommend it for 9-12 years old and I feel that the subject matter and length of the story make it more appropriate for the typical Junior High schooler/young High Schooler looking for a meaningful and at times, humorous story during the Christmas season.

The *storyline* of The Shopping Cart Man is wonderful! I just finished it, and am happy to say that I feel a warm glow. As I began reading the book, I expected a moral parable...which it is. But in addition, this is *also* a mystery novel--and I adore mystery novels. The mystery aspect really picks up in the second half (as does the entire story), when the details of Sam's (the Shopping Cart Man's) past begin to emerge. As I neared the end, I both wanted to read faster to find out what happened, and slow down because I wanted to extend the pleasure of spending time with these characters.

I do hope that this book is picked up by a commercial publishing house, because the attentions of a good editor could transform it from good to excellent. That's why I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars; with some polishing, this could be a 5 star novel. There are some places where the story lags and there is overly much detail, and others where I wish the story had been fleshed out somewhat more. But I know that almost all novels require some editing. Certainly this book is of a quality to warrant being picked up by a commercial publisher.

I also agree with other reviewers that this story would make a good Hallmark Channel movie, or something similar. The characters are well-developed (Luke is an especially funny kid!), and there is an ongoing conflict and flashbacks within Sam that would translate well to the screen.

This book might well appeal to a variety of audiences. It's ideal for young people aged 10-15 to read alone. But it would also be a really good book for parents and children, or teachers/students, to read out loud together, as it would likely trigger a lot of good discussion. On the other hand, I'm a 44 year old woman, and I enjoyed it too! So, yes, I'd say it could have broad appeal. I'm donating a second copy to my local Chicago library branch. In these times, I think we can all use all the "warm glows" we can get! :-) I hope to see more books by Mr. Nufer in the future.

The book was wonderfully written! I was engrossed until the very end. I enjoyed trying to figure out what was going to happen next. It also gave me a reminder of what's important in our lives and how we should try to make a difference to someone less fortunate than ourselves. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes to read about good people doing good things.

This book caught my attention at the very beginning and held it all the way to the end. I especially enjoyed the unpredictable finish. Its a story that makes one think about how we could make a difference in someone's life? I'm with many others who think it would make a great TV movie!

This book was wonderful! What a great reminder for all of us focus more on others!! Perfect for the holidays!!

I enjoyed this book overall. There only seemed to be a few aspects missing....such as in the baby chapter about cloth diapers. She makes it sound as though there's only one style, when in fact there are loads and loads to choose from--and you can always dry them in the sun (at least during the summer) thus saving even more energy. So if you're having a baby, keep looking into diapers beyond the scope of this book.

The other small (big) thing she didn't mention in the gardening chapter was how destructive peat moss is, and how it's being banned in most of Europe with end-dates in sight, whereas nothing of the sort has happened here yet. Peat bogs contain 10% of the earth's fresh water and cannot recover as quickly as we harvest them for garden use. So don't use PEAT! Even though it's usually one of the cheapest "organic" garden mulches in North America. Also, don't buy peat seed pots (the kind that you can just plant in the ground when you move the seedlings outside)...use coir (coconut husk) instead.

Other than that, I liked her opinions and some of her strategies....some will work better for some people than others, depending of course on family size and where you live.

While the book is good I found myself wondering why another book with most of the same information other writers recent and past have written, or are found free on the Internet. But then I figured maybe there are people who still don't know how to buy wise or even don't buy at all.

What with all the ads in the media and folks like Al Gore, Ed Begley Jr and others telling everyone to buy energy star appliances, fuel efficient cars, organic foods and clothing, changing light bulbs etc doesn't everyone know these things?

Or reading labels and not buying things with words on the label you cannot pronounce. Or using lemon, white vinegar, baking soda to clean, rather than buy cleaning products that arent healthy for human or earth, much less 'green' products made by big corportations who want to make $$$ from the green band wagon they just jumped on.

So I calmed down and tried to look harder at whom she hoped would buy the book and learn from it.

So if you are the average American in the big house, who loves shopping malls, buying fast food or eating out, have a closet full of clothes, family members with all the new toys, high tech goodies, two cars in the driveway, credit card debt, and other middle class issues, this book could be of great help.

This is an incredible book that I recommend to anyone interested in finding ways to help save the world one step at a time. I absolutely love this book.

This is a wonderful, timely book that is easy to read. I keep it handy and use it as a resource before shopping. It is easy to find the info that you need to be green, healthy and safe with lots of good websites to visit and an index. Plus, many of the tips also save you money. What's not to love?!

Buy eight of these books--get free shipping--and give them to your daughters, nieces, neighbors and every other sensible woman you can think of. Full of highly useful, and inspirational, info. Also astonishing statistics. And a pleasure to read.

65 diffrent organophsphates are registered for use in strawberry farming. So go ahead pop another one in your mouth. Why are today's teens so big and tall? Zeranol is a synthetic hormone given to stock animals to speed their growth. You connect the dots right to your childs musculoskeletal system and your ovaries. . . . . MYTH; organic food is for outcast aging hippies... WRONG; sales of organic food topped $14 billion in 2007. In 2006 Wal-mart doubled its number of organic products. Safeway has its own brand of organics. . . . MYTH; Organic food is overpriced.... WRONG; compare the cost of producing non-organic food with that of organic. The farmer/rancher who grows/mass produces nonorganically achieves more profit per pound of production. Zeralon, methylbromide, arsenic, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides,growth hormones, endosulfan, ALAR, DDT, POP (What is POP? Do don't wanna know!). Stop making excuses and listen to your inner voice. Daily stress, heavy metals, microwaves, radiowaves, air pollution --- we cannot avoid. But what you directly ingest is within your power to control. Ms. Burke presents all the many aspects of organic foods. From the frightening practices of non-organic farming/ranching to helping you make detailed organic decisions. Vegetables, nuts, grains, meats, snacks, etc. Become informed, really informed about the safest foods available for you, your family, and the environment.

Indispensible book for navigating the food market. Learn where to spend your food dollars. Send one to everyone you love!

Since we can't grow all our food ourselves, I found this book very useful in making good choices in what we buy.

This is an awesome book and answered just what I wanted answered. I was wanting to buy organic not just for my health, but also for the environment. But I know organic doesn't always equal environmentally friendly. And when do I buy local? If local foods aren't organic, should I get imported organic? This book talks about the environmental as well as health interplay in a really easy to read way. Its a quick read and has a very useful shopper's guide in the back. By far the best "organic buying" guide I've seen so far. Love it!

Because I haven't been able to grow a garden of late, I'm forced to shop for most of my groceries. What I wanted to know is what I should buy or not buy. The author answers this perfectly and efficiently with a list in the latter part of the book, stating the produce in question, buy organic or not, and the reasons why.

What surprised me was that she also talks about how FAR food frequently travels and the carbon cost as a result. Is it worth buying organic if it's traveled across the ocean? While I understood this before, her book has made scrutinize this aspect of my food purchases even harder than before.

The book was an easy read but I admit to glossing over some of the talk about why you should eat organic or buy locally. What I wanted was precise information to help make my shopping more effective. I got exactly that.

I had already purchased Leanne's Saving Dinner book and loved it. I got this to make having people over for holidays, get-togethers, etc easier.
It has. I dont exactly like all the recipes in it but it gives you great infomation, tips and timelines for making meals and memories. I liked the valentines day chocolate fest and the ideas for a grown-up b-day party. And Thanksgiving Day is not to be missed but you can get this off her website (at least you could for Nov.2007).

This is an easy to following guide, makes shopping so much easier and takes the guess work out of what ingredients are needed.

This is a great cookbook. It follows the same format as Saving Dinner. There are dinners typically associated with holidays (all sorts of holidays) in this cookbook. The recipes do not call for any strange ingredients and they are easy and come out with great results. This is a great cookbook and I'm glad I ordered it.

Enjoy.

Definately a kitchen staple! This covers you for more than Christmas... here comes your Valentines Day menu from the capable hand of Ely.
This is one of her champs. Those who have enjoyed her Thanksgiving menu online will find the recipes in this book, along with more! This is a great book for anyone who wants to WOW their company or family and make any day a holiday!

though I liked the few recipes I've tried, my kids aren't as crazy about them as I was. The idea of healthier menus was great, but in reality it doesn't always work. One book that I found that has holiday recipes, too, and a bunch of leftover recipes for all that turkey and ham afterwards is THE FRANTIC WOMAN'S GUIDE TO FEEDING FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Great book in explaining all the aspects of safe buying and selling items on eBay!!! It has helped us enormously.

If there was one book I would suggest to anyone venturing into the waters of eBay, it'd end up being this one... eBay: The Missing Manual by Nancy Conner. This one covers it all.

Contents:
Part 1 - Buying on eBay: Ready, Set, Shop!; Bidding, Paying, and Following Up; Finding - and Getting - Bargains; Power Buying Strategies
Part 2 - Selling on eBay: Sell Stuff, Make Money; Honing Your Competitive Edge; Going from Hobby to Business; Specialty Selling; Cool Tools for Sellers
Part 3 - Finding Other eBayers and Getting Help; Finding Help
Part 4 - Appendixes: Where to Learn More; HTML for eBayers; Other Auction Sites; Index

Like all other eBay books, this one covers how to buy and sell on eBay. The writing's good, but there'd be nothing special if it stopped there. Where this book earns its keep is when it goes into areas I haven't seen covered in any other book. I've never seen a book go into any detail on other resources to learn about eBay, such as call-in internet radio shows and newsletters. I've never seen a book cover HTML in a small number of pages in order to allow the seller to create better auction pages. There's good coverage on third-party sites that give you more information on how to best price your auctions. There's even material on how to evolve from buying and selling as a hobby to running a business based on eBay. Package all this up with clear writing and numerous screen shots, and you really *have* found the missing eBay manual.

To paraphrase eBay's latest ad campaign... "Whatever you're looking for, you'll find *it* in eBay: The Missing Manual"...

Best book I have read about eBay. Very comprehensive, detailed and well written. Hard work went into producing this book.
It is both for beginners and beyond.

This is a great starter book for anyone curious about buying or selling on eBay. My only issue is that the book could probably use a refreshing. eBay is a very dynamic property and this book was probably written at least a year ago.

Are you one of the millions of people who buy and sell on eBay? If you are, then this book is for you! Author Nancy Conner, has written an outstanding book that will help you get to the site, get registered, and get going.

Conner, begins by showing you everything you need to get going on eBay. Then, she shows you how to bid on eBay auctions with confidence. The author continues by showing you how to search better than the competition and bid smarter. In addition, she then shares other secrets serious shoppers use to prevail on eBay. The author also introduces eBay tips and tricks. Then, the author shows you how to hone in on your strategy for a competitive edge. Next, she shows you how to turn your eBay hobby into a part- or full-time business. Next, the author shows you how to get in on the action and create a sales niche within eBay's specialty auctions. Then, she briefly describes the software that you can use on eBay. The author continues by presenting general and specialized discussion groups, both on and off eBay, that will help you make satisfying connections. Finally, she covers a Learning Center just for newbies, a Help page, interactive help via live chat or e-mail, a centralized Services page, a site map, discussion boards, and more.

After reading this excellent book, you'll be using eBay like an old pro. In other words, this book was will help you ramp up your eBay experience--find more bargains, build better auctions, and close more sales.

Thank you for an excellent guide for online shopping! If you are looking for great Internet guides for Kids & Family, High School, and College students, please check out the You Are Here Internet series!

Online stores come and go, especially the big ones, but this book lists hundreds of terrific small online stores that carry really unique stuff. I especially liked all of the stores that sell natural cosmetics and natural fiber clothing for me and my kids. I've had this book 2 weeks and already its saved me lots of time.

I was tired of seeing the same old online stores over and over again. This book pointed me to some real winners. It's a big time saver. Very easy to find what I wanted quickly.

I learned a lot about online shopping that I never knew before. But the best thing about this book is all the online stores, listed by categories. I found some neat stores. Loved the party section.

Before picking up this excellent book, I was wary of online shopping -- and I still am, but now I'm intelligently wary. The authors do a marvelous job of helping understand what you can trust and what you can't, how online shopping works in all its various manifestations, and what strategies to use when you do shop online. The book showed me that online shopping is not (as I had thought) just for shopping addicts who need a fix 24 hours a day, but a great space for intelligent and discerning consumers. I'm still not a big spender online (or anywhere), but I've used the book to help me find some things I couldn't find anywhere else and at surprising prices. I think this book is going to go down in the so-far brief history of online commerce as a milestone achievement. It has certainly changed my views about WWW commerce and made me a better consumer. I can't say enough about this expansive, easy-to-use, fun, and informative work. I hope they plan to update this work regularly.

If you are a fan of Max and Ruby, or just looking for a book for a young reader, this is it! Max always finds a way to win, and grandma always makes it fair.

A cute story about kids and shopping...and the things that can go wrong! Includes pages that you can copy so your child can have "bunny money". Very cute.

In the book Bunny Money by Rosemary Wells, bunnies Max and Ruby are trying to buy their grandmother a present for her birthday. Max and Ruby spend a lot of money. Will they be able to get what they want? Find out in Bunny Money. I really like Bunny Money because the book shows how much money the bunnies have.

Student from Grosse Pointe

I think this is one of the better Max and Ruby books, along with Bunny Cakes and Bunny Party. Has play money on the end pages that you can photocopy and cut out for your kids to play with. Neat concept and fun to discuss who the "famous rabbits" on the different bills are supposed to be.

Cute! Max and Ruby go shopping for their Grandma's birthday, but are disappointed when their dream gift costs $100. They do not have much money and Max keeps wasting it. (Food, trip to the laundromat, bus fare, etc.) They manage to buy two "great" presents~ from Ruby, singing bluebird earrings, from Max glow in the dark vampire teeth. But their money is all used up. So Grandma picks them up and she wears the gifts all they way home.
It is a math lesson because they show how much money they have before and after the buy. (Like they have eight dollars, they spend two dollars, they have six left.)
