I've had this cookbook since the early eighties, and it is still my cookbook of choice. The recipes are simple and clear, the variety is astounding (everything from veggieburgers to how to cook beaver and moose!) and I have no fear to try out a new recipe on company... most trials quickly become staples of my diet. I have bought this book (vol. 1) for my stepmother, friends and lovers. My only regret is that now that I want to buy it for someone else it seems to be hard to find. If you get your hands on a copy, keep it, and invite all your friends over to eat with you.

I have had this cookbook for many years and indeed it is one of my favorites. There isn't a bad recipe in the book. In fact you can be guaranteed of success just by following the simple instructions. My only disappointment is that there are no more than 3 volumes. I have all three and would love another!

Its sad this book is out of print. Its quite wonderfull. I couldn't put it down! The characters, setting, and plot are well developed. Its a cross between historical fiction, horror, and mystery. The ending is quite a surprise as well.

Pam Johnson-Bennett offers excellent, common-sense advice for dealing with feline behavioral problems. The situations and solutions discussed in this book suggest that, no matter how bad your kitty's behavior, there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. We humans just need to pay better attention to what our cat companions are telling us and to learn how to think like a cat. Johnson-Bennett is one of the best feline behaviorists around and this would be a great book to read if your cat has any issues. Highly recommended

A wonderfully funny, easy to read book. Oh how true these stories and experiences are for cat lovers.

Pam Johnson-Bennett is an expert on cat behavior and gives great advice on raising healthy, happy cats. But in this book, she relates sixteen cases of bizarre behavior by cats. We have a cat attacking its owner only on Sunday, or a cat carefully biting an owner's boyfriend in an embarrassing place, or a cat launching itself headfirst against a wall, or - well, you get the idea. Are these cats mentally unbalanced? No! Pam, the Sherlock Holmes of the cat world, uncovers the basis for each cat's strange behavior in sixteen entertaining mysteries. We cat owners know that cats actually behave in an amazingly logical fashion. It's cat owners that are mixed up, until our calculating cats train us to their satisfaction. This wonderfully-entertaining book illustrates these characteristics. Some of the stories are hilarious. One may bring tears to your eyes, but all of them will entertain you and are well worth reading.
