Review:Very good product. Bought this for my daughter at Christmas. She was 10 years old at the time and now is 11. Months later, she still enjoys doing her nails, using the designs in this book. Not sure about the quality of the polish, but that's not the point. Buy this for the instructions and ideas. Read more

Family Matters
Family Matters

Review:Rohinton Mistry's FAMILY MATTERS is the story of differing attitudes toward caring for the grandfather of the family. The more affluent household is repelled by the everyday requirements of taking care of an entirely bedbound elder.

2nd Edition - The New York Times - 36 Hours USA & Canada

Review:A nice coffee table book that highlights 'must-do's around the country. My only biggest complaint and why the book doesn't garner more stars is that it covers almost uniquely larger cities. It would be nice to have some more off the beaten path suggestions as well. Read more

Curse of The Narrows: The Halifax Disaster of 1917

Review:Once again, I have learned something that I had never known before reading this book: the explosion, tsunami and massive snowstorm that struck Halifax, Nova Scotia in December 1917. This is a well-written book that outlines the ship accident minute by minute, and then comprehensively details its awful aftermath. We get a story of great suffering and heroic action, particularly by the medical staffs that came to help from Boston, New York, and a host of Canadian cities. These dedicated people wor...

The True Story of Serial Killer Cody Legebokoff (Crimes Canada

Review:The first portion of the book detailing the law enforcement investigation is pretty interesting, after awhile the book goes into quoting some online postings, which is rarely a good thing to include in a great book.
I agree with another poster, the "threat" on page 3 to not let anyone else take a look at the book, and send it back to the author, is the nuttiest page I have seen in a book in a long time. Ticked me off early and so I was biased against the book before I got started... Read more
