Running Books

this is an excellent tangram book. it has 500 puzzles ranging from easy to difficult with solutions in the back of the book. it's magnetic cover and peices allows you to do this anywhere and not worry about losing peices. it's great for airplanes and car trips.

I got this book for an 8 year old boy for christmas, remembering doing tangrams when I was a kid. My friends found it, opened it, and spent then next week or so trying as many of the puzzles as humanly possible, having loads of fun taking turns with it. This book is great for all ages, anywhere, from in the car (with those ingenious magnetic pieces and board!) to home or school, or work to occupy anyone for a time. I took the opened book to the boy when I babysat him next (i decided to keep it and get him another of these books) and he loved it! we spent almost the whole time doing these puzzles. They vary in difficulty, but the solutions are in the back if you do occasionally get stumped. I recommend this book highly for anyone who likes math, puzzles, the crosswords, etc. or just some fun. =) The best thing about this book is that it works for a versatile audience, but that it is self contained with its trifold layout and magnetic tangram pieces and board. Perfect gift that's not really a book or a toy, but both - and educational too!

Most of the toys in here are not for the novice craftsman. If you are serious about toymaking this is a great book to use to take the next step both in terms of toy complexity and intended age group. Most of the toys are not for the toddler as they involve mechanisms and small parts that are not well suited for unsupervised use by the younger set.
Beautiful book with lots of color pictures. The motion mechanisms used by the author are a great idea resource

An excellent book for those interested in the magical art of toymaking! The 19 toy designs presented in this book range from a simple jigsaw puzzle to a more complex automated design with a turn-crank. Introductory sections cover equipment, materials, and basic techniques. All of the toys are presented with lovely and colorful painted finishes. This collection got my creative juices flowing, and I even came up with some spin-off designs of my own. Worth finding a copy!

After receiving a few of these postcards, the lady in your life will love you for it.

I bought this book for my little sister. She is the romantic type, and she loves good romantic photographs. This book is a series of romantic shots of a woman and her man kissing. If you are in to thinking romantically about your future husband or wife, this book is for you.

I've read a lot of books that claim to help you to succeed but this book by Lloyd Williams actually does.It is the best book to help Financial Adviors accomplish their goals that I have ever read.
He makes our business seem so simple.
Just follow his instructions!
Buy this book!

Excellent book. Lloyd writes things that everyone involved in a professional atmosphere can comprehend. You'll find yourself agreeing with the things he says and you'll want to put his recommendations into play.

It is rare for me to have such unbridled praise for any individual writer, but Metzner is quite simply a shining intellect - a hero among others.

Anything with the name Ralph Metzner even remotely attached to it is a safe buy. Metzner brings vitality and encyclopedic awareness to every project. An elder statesman responsible for such dramatic shifts in consciousness within this nation and throughout the world, buy his works and read them with pleasure.

What is striking about this work is the respect he brings to the subject and the well-constructed tapestry of thought contained within the pages.

Also, the design of this book is beautiful.

Solid content with the stamp of greatness. Palatable to the senses and nourishing to the neurons.

Cannot go wrong here!

This book discusses Ayahuasca from a variety of perspectives: historical, religious, chemical, cultural, horticultural and experiencial. The way the book is structured it would be easy for a reader to skip over the topics that don't interest them. All of the information is presented in a thorough, well-written, and objective manner offering some conclusions while at the same time allowing the reader to form their own.

Most interesting were the 25 or so personal accounts, 3-4 pages each written by people who appeared to Americans/Westerners who took the drug for religious/spiritual purposes and in a religious/spiritual setting. It was clear, based on their mindset (objectives and beliefs) and the religious setting that Ayahuasca seems to somehow create a religious construct through which a person can work through personal issues or sort through personal beliefs. The experience seemed to have a profound affect on most of these people.

Overall, I got the impression that Ayahuasca was not connecting these individuals to something divine outside of themselves, but rather that it was freeing the brain up to explore the subconscious/ID in order to resolve problems or explore issues in the persons life.

Well worth reading if you're interested in this sort of thing.

Baseball fans love statistics. They are part and parcel of the lore and the talk of the game. This book is built around an interesting idea, giving a page a short essay to ' firsts'. The first player to hit four- hundred, or the first player to win thirty- games in a season etc. There is a lot of baseball lore in this book much of which will be new even to the most dedicated of baseball funs.
This is a book for baseball fans only but I am sure they will enjoy it.

Think you know everthing there is to know about baseball? You'll be surprised by the factoids uncovered. A must have reference guide for all baseball enthusists.

This book was really funny. Charlie Brown, Lucy and Snoopy are probably the best charaters.

Pretty much the same as the special,(except for the Pawpet Show),
Charlie Brown waits for valentines with pie in the sky hopes. Snoopy makes a music box out of paper, while Sally makes a diamond and a club, and Charlie Brown watches his "something that is very nice" fall apart.

I bought this book for my daughter for Christmas who is a huge Independant music fan and a musician in Minneapolis. She is 21 and loved it !! She was raised on WXPN in the Philadelphia area.

The Best of World Cafe: Great Conversations from NPR's Most Popular Contemporary Music ShowHow great! David Dye has published some of his best interviews of his many done at the "World Cafe" WXPNs wonderful program that now has a world wide exposure to the new music scene. For anyone wishing to know about the backgrounds of your inde music groups and singer songwriters this book is a delight. The live shows are broadcast on NPR from the Philadelphia venue. A fun read.

This is one of the most beautiful miniture books I've ever read. The photography is stunning, even on small scale, and I've found myself paging through it again and again. I originally bought the book as a gift for a friend who was engaged but ended up keeping it for myself! The strong point of this book is definately the pictures. The text is very limited, and I didn't get any new ideas for a wedding that I hadn't heard before, but obviously this miniature edition is very much scaled down from the bohemoth original volume. A must-have for anyone who loves weddings!

I have been reading wedding planning books in order to prepare for my July wedding. Beverly Clark's books have the most class and tradition. I can not afford the large coffee table book but the mini-book is the same with advice and pictures. It is a nice small gift for brides-to-be.
