No longer a teenager? Too busy to exercise? With this book, there are no more excuses to prevent you from getting into shape! Only 30 minutes, every other day, using simple home equipment (a few dumbbells and a bench), will produce a firm, toned, and fit body! And with the proper emphasis on stretching, warm-ups, and correct technique, there is no way to injure or strain yourself, even if you have never exercised before and are no longer a teenager. Clear instructions and lots of practical advice make this book a winner, and I recommend it highly to women who want to look toned and trim without exhausting themselves or spending long hours in the gym. Lifelong fitness has never been simpler!

Typography is an important -- and, in this day of non-professionals "designing" newsletters, books, etc. at their computers -- usually overlooked part of design. This beautiful book introduces you to typography and shows how subtle differences in typeface, leading, and so on, affect readability and elegance.

Betty Bear's Birthday was one of my favorite picture books as a pre-schooler, and I am saddened to see that it is out of print. It's a very sweet story about a little bear named Betty who believes that everyone has forgotten her birthday until her friends surprise her with a special picnic. The illustrations are beautiful and remind me a bit of Japanese anime. If you are able to find this book, it's certainly a nice addition to any child's library.

This and White's follow-up books Across the Unkwown and the Unobstructed Universe are extremely objective yet cover the deepest levels we can ever hope to understand. Written so that even a beginner can follow yet amazingly profound. I'd also consider it the best self-help book around, as the importance and long-term signifigance of even our smallest acts is stressed throughout. These books focus on YOU and a METHOD OF LIVING, and don't even discuss reincarnation, etc. They focus on the most important issues.

This is a funny and brilliant book. The satire goes deep. Clever beyond belief. I especially liked the anti-betty seek and find. Halitosis--the word says it all.

I love this cookbook! It was the first cookbook I ever had, and even though I've collected many, many cookbooks in the years since, it's the one I keep coming back to over and over again.

Even though it's not as long as many of Betty Crocker's subsequent cookbooks, this book has all the best recipes -- literally everything you need to make wonderful meals, side dishes, breads and desserts for your family or company.

Many of the recipes come with interesting and helpful side-notes which tell you how to make simple variations to the basic recipe. Whether I'm looking for a yummy, kid-pleasing dish to feed my family or something more impressive for company, this book has it all!

I received this cookbook as a christmas gift from my father-in-law. The recipes are easy to follow, with simple ingredients, and they are so good! There is a variety of recipes, from breakfast, to soups, to meatless meals, to desert, and everything in between! I have really enjoyed this cookbook because it doesn't strain my budget to cook from it, I am a young mom with a 13 month old baby so that is important to me! My husband has also enjoyed the recipes, we haven't yet found anything that we didn't like! I also sent this cookbook to my sister as a wedding shower gift! I would definitely recommend this cookbook to beginners and those who have been cooking for years and would like something new!

THIS BOOK HAS GREAT RECIPES FOR BEGINERS AT CAKE DECORATING. THERE ARE KNOW SPECAIL PANS USED SO THE CAKES ARE NOT TO EXPENSIVE.ALL THE CAKES ARE BUETIFUL AND THERE ARE CAKES FOR ALL AGES AND TASTES

this is an EXCELLENT cookbook filled with all the most popular chinese dishes. from sesame chicken to hot and sour soup, it gives all the tricks on how to make a delicious chinese dinner! if you aren't familiar with lee ann chin, her recipes produce meals similar to PF chang's and other chinese bistros. good luck and happy cooking!

This is an absolute classic. When I was little, my mom and I would go through the cookbook, making the recipes in order. I still use it every year for Christmas cookie gifts. My mom's copy is at least 25 years old now, with pages missing, torn, and splotched from years of use. If anyone has one they want to sell, let me know!
