Review:This is a beautiful book. The photography, both of the animals and the fiber, is spectacular. The information is so clearly presented, you can almost smell the sheep and feel the lanolin on your fingers. The authors' passion shines through on every page.
As a knitter and spinner, I love that the authors honor the usefulness of the full range of animal fibers, not just those that are "soft", and not just those that are commercially abundant. This book sent me to my computer to search out rare... Read more

Review:These beautiful cars are excellently rendered, so realistic I just want to get in each one of them and take it for a drive.

I grew up in the fifties so especially love the cars from that era.

All kinds of cars are featured in this coloring book from sedans to sports cars to luxury cars like the gorgeous 1959 Cadillac. There are 30 drawings in all, beginning with a 1950 Mercury 2 door sedan.

In addition to the car, there is a well-drawn background, of a building or an outdoo... Read more

Review:THis work, Volume II, is like the others. A wonderful history of how it was. In this day and age of having most needs meet and something for everyone on the Wal-mart shelf, we tend to forget just what it was like in our not too distant past. These books, the Foxfire books, brings to light skills, attitudes and a way of life that is all but forgotten. This is a good thing. When a people lose their history, they lose part of their soul. As the title of this work states, Ghost Stories, Wild Pl... Read more

Review:The firefox series continues to amaze me with it's simplicity and beautiful documentation of the Mountain life style. The other lesson is that we all need to pass forward what we have learned and loved to the next generation and the next and the next ... Picking up the earlier FF books is well worthwhile, every one a jewel. Read more

Review:The Foxfire Project is momentious and if you notice you are missing one or three in the set, having loaned them, it's wise to replace these missing gems of mountain pioneering and lossed skills. Mighty fine reading next to the bed. Read more

Review:This was purchased in conjunction with a dress form to help learn some of the techniques, fabrics, and different needs (ie: what needles to use when). It has been a great help. It provides lots of basic information, but sometimes, my wife has found that it's good to start with this book, and then go to Youtube or Google to find videos or further detail. My point is, don't plan on this being the only resource you'll use, but it is a great starting point. Highly recommended for people who are ... Read more

Review:A great book for determining the value of old and modern coins. Includes all coin ratings and values by coin condition. Includes very detailed photos on each page. This is a very good reference for both the amature and the serious coin collector. A must have if you are new to coin collecting. Read more

Review:I recommended this book to my father when he retired and needed to read it myself just because it was so engaging. This is a great guide for anyone seeking far more that the stereotypical retirement choices of golf and shuffleboard. The book is filled with ideas and opens up a world of possibilities, with ideas in travel, art, sports, technology and more.

The book is engaging and humorous. Her writing will inspire and leave you laughing out loud at the same time. What other works can incl... Read more
