Miniatures Books

I have her first book and let me tell you this book is like a second eddition to the first but better. She gets into 3d shapes and designs as well as uses different types of threads including silk. The edgings and mats are a continuation to her first book. She also gets into harder things for you to make.The baby shawl in this book is truely a beautiful pattern that anyone who makes lace would love to have included in their dollhouses.This book also has the section which shows you how to do each stitch which very rarely is found in other books. A must have for anyone into dollhouse bobbin lace making.

Adults and children (recommend age 10 and up) can enjoy this project together, as we did on a winter afternoon. The result is a 4-room Spanish style New Mexico adobe home with many pieces of authentic furniture and details. It also includes substantial historical information about the house and it's contents. Great for people who enjoy paper crafts. Would also make a wonderful project and learning experience for a group of students in the upper grades (4-8), with adult assistance.

This book is great-it's a head above most of the other MinPin breed books which contain just a few pages of specialized information on the Miniature Pinscher, and a lot of general dog care sections. This book covers "the old greats"...one of the neatest things is seeing photographs of Carlee's Nubby Silk and "Little Daddy" then finding them in your pet quality pups pedigree. Contains a good deal of lore, and a really neat conversation between two "old school" MinPin breeders. Discusses the breed standard and how it's changed over the years. I don't breed, so I can't speak for breeders, but I would think that breeders, future breeders, pet owners and just plain MinPin fanciers would find this book as good a read as I did.

We wanted a book to prepare our three year old for our upcoming puppy. This book does exactly that. It goes through the process of preparing for puppy, going to the breeder ( not pet store ) to see all of the puppies and selecting one. Then at home, it shows how puppy needs to sleep in the kitchen on newspaper, and that puppies have accidents. It is great for introducing the "new arrival" ( similar to a book on being a new sibling ) to a toddler. We would highly reccomend this book.

Donne was a writer of extraordinary intellectual grasp and tremendous creative power. His metaphysical poetry linked together images from the most diverse realms and created a new form of metaphoric seeing. Donne combined a true feel for the material , sensual realities with a deep ideational adventurism. His passionate religious feeling also seemed to bring at its best a new level of insight and feeling.
Nowhere is that more apparent in the famed 'No man is an island speech'.in which the experience of an individual's death serves as means for binding all humanity together.
"Do not send to ask for whom the Bell tolls, it tolls for thee."

Richly satisfying artwork, with text that rhymes. Out of a large basket of small books, our kids choose "Noah's Ark" by Amy Flynn & Linda Hayward to be read time and time again. A classic "chunky book".

Where has this AMAZING product been my entire life? Here I am, a repressed Roman Catholic with an aversion (read: all consuming fear) of nuns, and now I have the chance to STRIKE back (get it?) at these habit wearing monsters! Thank you so much Jennifer Leczkowski! You are my new hero! I think I love you.

This uber-cheap therapy has really solved all of my problems. It has truly been like an asin sticker for my soul.

Three cheers (no, three STRIKES) for Nun Bowling!

Great book which pictures nearly every G.I.Joe figure released in the U.S., and nearly every gun, backpack, and accessory that came with the figures. Truly indespensable for a G.I. Joe collector. HIGHLY recommended!

I did not know anything about the world of model aircrafts until I picked up this book. This book does a wonderful job of interweaving the history of the Air and Space collection with the role model aircrafts played in the war effort. I would be remised if I did not strongly encourage the reader to really take the time to look at each picture in the book. Some of the pictures give you up close detail information on the the intricate work involved in the models (i.e. maps in the cockpits). This book gives you a new appreciation to a hobby that is finally getting the respect it deserves.

This Book is still one of a kind. Since it was published in 1970, it is still the only reliable Book which gives the complete Text of three Wayang Kulit (Javanese Shadow Puppet) Lakon (Plays). "The Reincanation of Rama" from the Ramayana and "Irawan's Wedding" and "The Death of Karna" from the Mahabharata. The Book begins with a fine introduction to Wayang, the Plays, Performance and Translation. The translation from Javanese was rendered by Pandam Guritno, one of the froemost Javanese Wayang Scholars of all time, whom I knew personally. Next follow the texts of the three Plays, which include 143 illustrations. James Brandon has also included descriptions of the action that takes place and the musical pieces that are played. The reader can thus review three performances through reading. At the end of the Book are useful Appendices, Notes on Sources, a good Glossary and a now outdated Bibliography. This Book is useful for those who are interested in Wayang, Javanese Culture, Theater Arts, Sanskrit Literature and many other subjects. That is what makes Wayang so wonderful. It is many things in one.
