I cannot believe that there are 18 books that my mother authored, are listed for sale on the internet!Where are the rest of the 29000 or so copies ?
With all these colored photos, published back in 1970's and such a low low original price of eight dollars each, it still beat all the current cookbook prices...Why are they still on the market without being used by some good home?

A clear and readable guide to mastering the ins and outs of school choice in San Francisco. Empowering for both teens and parents. -- Lauren Britt

I cooked Osso Buco alla Milanese, Fagiolini al Pomodoro and Patate al Forno from recipes in this book. Together with Italian bread, a nice little wine, a simple green salad and dessert, it was a superb meal.

Ask Dorling Kindersley to rush this wonderful cookbook back into print so your dinner guests will say you're a culinary genius.

This book was a nice change of pace from many other country volumes. The photos hadn't been seen in prior issues of country magazines and the text offered suggestions that sparked the imagination.
Beautifully useful to display as well. I've got a new 'old' home and can't wait to transform with some Comfortable Country creativity.

This book has four parts each containing five to ten chapters.

Part IV: Building Confidence covers requesting support, evaluation anxiety, feedback, relaxation, imagery, positive self-talk, and commitment. The author explains how to read the book by noting the questions at the end of the chapter, chapter objectives, and bold print. Then think about the answers to questions as the book is read. In the acknowledgments the author identifies content in each part and how it will help the reader. Connecting the content with reasons for learning it helps motivate the learner. Each chapter starts with whimsical animals and inspiring figures art, quotations, and the chapter objectives. Important content is highlighted in tables and boxes. Important points are often bulleted or numbered. Color is used. Multicultural proverbs, wit and wisdom sections, poetry, and moments of connection that share the meaning of nursing through story telling are dispersed throughout the book. Nursing examples are used. Spirituality, humor, and think about it exercises have been added since the last edition. Exercises encourage active learning. References and suggestions are at the end of each chapter, and appendix and index are at the end of the book. This book facilitates multiple intelligences and applies learning theory. Use of this book is an excellent way to teach communication in nursing.

This book makes comminication fun and interesting. I am using this book for a speech class, but I find that it is an interesting read outside of school. The writing is very clear and examples pertain to every day life.

This book was extremely informative. I was already doing online travel planning, but this book opened up so many new doors to me. My wife and I were amazed and pleased to discover through reading this book that so much of the details and the leg work of planning our honeymoon could be done online. We found out how to connect with other newlyweds and travelers through a message board that the author recommended, and got the inside scoop on everything from restaurants, nightclubs, romantic/secluded spots in our destination, as well as currency exchange info. and travel safety tips. The best thing about the book, though, was the author's offbeat sense of humor and keen eye for topnotch websites. A must read for any do-it-yourself travel planner.

Receipes are easy to follow and delicious. Exchange values are listed, as well as the calories, fats, carbohydrates, protein, cholesterol, sodium and potassium. Thus this book is handy for those on low cholesterol and/or low salt diets.

We bought our first copy when I cooked for my mother, a diabetic who also had to watch her salt intake. We enjoyed the variety of dishes so much, we still use the book ten years after she died. Now that my brother has developed diabetes, I'm ordering another copy for him. Mine is too worn to pass on and I really don't want to give it up.

Clearly this author writes from expierence. What a work, such clear and concise writing. I was truely moved! I would unreservedly recommend this book to anyone struggling with this important issue.
