Customer Review: In an era when neon lights, supermodels, MTV, and yuppies were gaining prominence in popular culture, Jay McInerney's "Bright Lights, Big City" caught the 80s wave and became one of the forerunners of a genre concerned with chronicling the ins and outs of the white urban male in the metropolis together with say, Brett Easton Ellis and that would arguably spawn other cult authors like Douglas Coupland and Chuck Palahniuk, who came to prominence in the 90s.
This novel is essentially about an aspiring writer of fiction who is biding his time in the Fact Verification Department of a cutting-edge magazine (in New York no less), whose primary job is to verify the claims and content of...

Customer Review: I was not sure about this book, but was interested in possibly growing heirloom tomatoes. The Heirloom Tomato turned out to be a surprisingly good book. Outstanding photography of all the varieties, plus detailed information on each tomato, its history, flavor, appearance and use. Information on raising heirlooms, saving seeds, and even breeding is included.Tomatoes have never been so interesting. Definitely a worthwhile investment, even if you don't grow any.

Customer Review: This is a great book to give to your grandmothers in order that you may learn more about them. It is very detailed and I am looking forward to getting this back from them all filled out. I suggested that they fill this out a little every day because it can be a little daunting to look at the entire book as needing to be filled in. Definately would recommend this.

Customer Review: Beautiful book with good information about unsual beans to grow. Some or maybe many of the recipes I would not try but there are still quite a few that sound very good.

Customer Review: I used this book as the starting point and interest building for a Lesson on Kangaroos. I first read the book to the CTT 4th grade class then we watched excerpts from PBS film "The Beg Red Roos" The students discussed what they learned and then wrote their own Roo Poem which some shared. Then at the end of the day we learned the song. The students LOVED it.

Customer Review: For those of you who know me or have followed my reviews you know that I review a lot of cookbooks, that I spend a good part of my time each year living on a sailboat in the Caribbean, that I love to cook, that I consider myself somewhat of a gourmet chef. If you've looked at my Amazon "So You'd Like to Guides" you know that I like to post some of my favorite recipes. So when I got the chance to get and review this book, I leapt at it.
I've got quite a collection of cookbooks and a lot of them, like this one, are pretty hefty tomes, but this outweighs most of them. And unlike a lot of them, there are now pretty color pictures of completed and delicious meals. Okay, I've been doi...
