True erotica book of an uninhibited sensualist...
Helpful Votes: 3 out of 3 total.
Review Date: 2004-07-07
This is one of the sexiest, most uninhibited books I have read in a long time. The best part is that it is true classic erotica -- originally published in 1913. In the three volumes of The Intimate Memoirs of an Edwardian Dandy, I read about Rupert Mountjoy's erotic exploits from growing up in the countryside to his prestigious Oxford education. The reader gets a glimpse into the life of a real sensualist with audacious imagination. I marvel at this wonderful book. I love classic erotica, for the fact that said books were written so long ago make it all the more delicious. I couldn't put this book down. I read this book in two sittings and I cannot wait to read something like it. I'm not a big fan of Blue Moon books, but this one's very special. Highly recommended to all erotica bibliophiles...

Hot victorian erotica classic ... a must have book

Memoirs of an Eduardian Dandy' and was edited by James Jennincs the absolute master of erotica ....First published in in London in 1913 these books I am sure have weathered time in many of daddys desks bottom drawer to be discovered .....

The books are an autobiogrphy of Rupert Mountjoy's introduction and growth in the world or erocticism. Being a wealthy young Englishman with no concers for his income he certainly is able to give hedonism a new name.

In the first volume names 'First Stirrings 'Rupert and his friend Frank meet Diana and Cecily two very very easy coming and going young ladies that help with their real life education ... and, this education, as one would expect, both the boys had to be helped over and over by these very very willing little vixens...

Volume 2 is a continuation of Ruperts education 'A Freshmans Tale 'with an enlarged group of friends that continue their education in the softer and yummie things in life. They don't seem to get much school work done in these books but then with those friends neither would I ....

Volume 3 called 'A Menu to Savour' we continue to enjoy Ruperts exploits as a young man after Oxford. He manages to maintain contact with Diana and Cecili and a whole new expanded group of friends that facilitate their very gregarious need to seek every single pleasure of the flesh that is imaginable ....

Finally although the title says it's and Edwardina dandy, trust me this is classic Victorian erotica writing and does not use that dark brooding Edwardian erotica style ....

Great gift for decor of worshiping

Review Date: 2004-04-02
I'm not a Buddhist, but I like this kit any way. I got it as a gift for my mom because she thinks buddha statues are neat(She is not a buddhist, either).

But this kit is great for decor and worship alike. Comes with a real buddah statue, incesne, a candle, book and more. use the box as an altar. this is perfect for a desk or car, or a nice piece of decoration.

The buddah kit is great for travel. take it with you on trips. if you need to practice, but don't have time to go to a worship temple, use this. IF you buy this and you worship, you can worship at home without spending millions of dollars on a fourty -foot buddah statue(unless you really want to!).

The statue is very realistic. with all the candle and incese, you got an authentic buddah statue. for $8 dollars, it can't be beat. I recomend this to any Buddhist( unless you have a giant one in your house!)

Get it if you worship buddha. You'll be glad you did.

Worship this kit!

This kit contains a 1.5" tall Buddha and stand, incense, an incense holder, and an accompanying book in a shrine-shaped box that opens into a portable altar. This is definitely one of the better-quality kits made by Running Press--and it's incredibly cute! The book actually contains some useful information, and the Buddha, stand, and incense holder are made of fairly heavy-duty materials. The picture on the back of the box is deceptive; you only receive 2 pieces of incense, as opposed to the small handfull shown in the picture. (When I opened my kit, one stick was already broken, and the other one broke shortly thereafter.)

This Buddha kit is perfect for my 8" tall, stuffed puppy. Puppychu has placed this mini-altar inside his 15" doghouse, and he prays daily, just like his dad, who has a much bigger altar in his own house. Puppychu has also bought nearly all the other Mini-kits from Running Press, and considers himself an expert on their products.

this book is so sturdy...of all the "pull-the-flap" type books our kids own, it's the only one with no rips or tears. and our kids aren't even that rough with books. i don't know why all books can't be made this well.

My mom got this book for my 14 month old son for Halloween and it is by far his favorite. I am researching books by Running Press Kids because honestly, I am getting a bit tired of reading this book to him. He loves the fact that he can pull the tabs himself unlike some similar books. This book is truly his favorite.

After all these years this book is still relevant; Jim Fixx was no dumby and this book gets 5 stars in my opinion based on what it will provide in comparison to what you will pay to get a used copy. Worth your time to read if you enjoy running and enjoy running books as I do.

While it may appear that some of the information in this book may be a bit dated, don't let that put you off. This is still one of the best running books in print. It gives down to earth advice and is certainly inspirational. I first read this one when it was published and still give it a read ever few years. Highly recommend this one.

I received this as a Christmas present and was suprised at how tiny it is. Only 127 pages long and it measures just about 3X3! However this small package is packed with Muppet takes on classic Christmas carols (Please Rest Ye Grumpy Gentlemen), stories (The Thrift of the Magi), Muppet letters to Santa and illustrated with charming photos of the Muppets in various Christmas settings. It's sure to bring joy and delight to children as well as adults!

A beautiful, heartfelt celebration of partner yoga
Helpful Votes: 12 out of 12 total.
Review Date: 2004-04-22
This book is a real gift for those of us who love yoga!
The positions are really original and innovative, as well as gorgeous to look at. The author encourages her readers to let go of perfection and to embrace connection instead. The postures are a nice blend of both the practical and the spiritual, as well as both the simple and the more challenging. I love the chapter on Mudras (symbolic hand gestures). I've never seen examples of partnered mudras before and they are just beautiful.
The photographs are amazing as well - you just want to keep this book nearby so you can look at it regularly for inspiration. I plan to give this to friends as gifts - it's really special.

Feels like the next step in the evolution of yoga!

It's difficult to find anything really unique in yoga these days-But this book is it! Sure the concept of partner yoga has been presented before, But not like this. Here, the `practice' transcends to communal ceremony...as playful as you like, yet leading to sensitive, divine connection. And, it's not limited to asanas ....All maya koshas are honored: (physical/breath/ mental-emotional/ intuitive/and bliss bodies). And, I really like the descriptions of the chakras and using mudras with a partner (so creative and original).
ALSO, The photos are gorgeous! The author's writing is as eloquent and inspired as the quotes! (a `non-yoga' friend wants the book just to `look at' ) However, it also works on the practical level: guiding you through developing and varying your very own practice...gentle or more challenging.
I believe this practice is possible for any two people. I've tried it with partners not my size or degree of flexibility; just use that open mind and a blanket to adjust height. Your reward will be `Namaste' experienced throughout the practice!

I have read several (and collected a few) books on erotic fiction over time. This book has been part of my collection for several years, and I have no plans of parting with it!

The story is very well written. It is set in Victorian England, and is of a girl who is introduced to all forms of sexual pleasure.

Published May 1999 and already it's out of stock ...

Tis is one of Patrick Henden's best works and I certainly hope they do another realistic print run ...

The story deals with Katherin a young 19 yr old that seems to marry INTO a very very sexually liberated Victorian family ...

The scenes are hot and scrumtious ....

A MUST HAVE for your erotic library

I was too overweight that I had to see a podiatrist to treat my heel pain. I had other multiple health problems due to being overweight until I started Kathy Smith's walkfit programs. she's very practical, straigthforward and highly informative in her approach to fitness. I started the program just 4 months ago, and I can no longer go for a day w/o walking! I've lost 20 pds. and feel much healthier and happier! I live in Asia and ordered her tapes when I was in America. I absolutlely recommend her books. It has changed my way of life, and I will never regret this choice I made!

The best motivational walking book yet!

Review Date: 1999-01-04
I've taken out several books from our local library over the years about walking. Actually, that's the only type of exercise I can stick to. Doesn't cost a thing, no getting in the car; just walk out your front door. You may think Kathy Smith is just another pretty female fitness guru trying to sell a new angle. But her book has facts and not alot of chat that really make things clear. She did a nice job with this book. You will lose weight if you cut some calories and walk 30-40 minutes about 5 times a week. Casey Meyer's walking book is the only other one I've come across that's good. It's longer, but motivational also. You need to get moving and lock that refrigerator!

This is quite a mini facial kit. I was quite surprised at how mini they are. However, this kit can last for quite a while (maybe a month or so) I normally just use the cleaser and the toner when at home, and use the cellmate when I go out. I am very happy with my purchase.

The Kiss My Face Facial Book is an introduction to Kiss My Face Skincare, complete with a tiny book about the company and product information. This doesn't have any "facial" recipes, but is more like a basic cleansing kit. This would be fun to take with you in a travel bag because it takes up so little room.

This kit contains:

Soy Soft Facial Cleansing Bar - a tiny sample soap made from soy, aloe and shea butter. It doesn't dry out your skin and has a rich lather.

Balancing Act Toner - Refreshing and balancing, this toner contains grapefruit, orange, ginger, lemon, seaweed, ester C, Vitamin E and essential oils.

Cell-Mate 15 - Contains lavender, chamomile, Echinacea and grapeseed oil. Designed to enhance skin tone and smooth out fine lines.

If you are interested in the history of the Kiss My Face products, then this little booklet with a box of basic skin care products is worth buying. The entire Kiss My Face Obsessively Organic line is healing and nourishing. If you love natural products with essential oils, then the blends in these products will impress you.

This book was excellent! I read it in just a couple of days. Since I first started I couldn't take my eyes of what I was reading. The story is shocking and rude, yet interesting and mind-opening. It explicitly tells the struggles of growing up in a foreign country with everything against you and yet find the way to a new world full of possibilities. Excellent for tenagers, parents, and students.
