Ann Elwood not only knows about wine, but also about how to produce an interesting, much-needed guide to the wineries of San Diego County and the Temecula Valley. For visitors to San Diego, this is a road map to delightful outings in the back country. For residents, it offers much useful data on local winemakers, their history, their wines, and -- not to be overlooked -- their location.

A typical example of an "un-necessary" book... About as useful as any of the super market tabloids.

This book is full of surprises about famous people "when they were kids." These authors have plowed through a tremendous amount of materials tell us something new about people we thought we knew. Did you know that Marilyn Monroe sprang from several generations of paranoid schizophrenics? Did you know that Jerry Lewis had to repeat fifth grade? Did you know that child prodigy Mozart was terrified of trumpets? This book would make wonderful reading for almost anyone on your gift list, and for you, too.

This book was an interesting book because it gave me information of a chimpanzee's life. It told me how chimps are related to humans. This book is a great source of information about chimpanzees. [Gladys Diaz]
