PLEASE PRINT ALL OF THESE WONDERFUL BOOKS BY CELESTINE SIBLEY IN LARGE PRINT. SOMETIMES WE CAN'T FIND OUT GLASSES OR ARE TIRED OF WEARING THEM. WE ARE NEVER TIRED OF CELESTINE SIBLEY'S BOOKS. THIS ONE IS ANOTHER IN A LONG LINE OF THE BOOKS WE HOLD DEAR.

This is not one of the best buys for under $10. This is a best buy for under $20. This is a best buy PERIOD. You can give this book for any occasion or just keep it yourself, which is what I did and went out and bought another copy for my friend who went out and bought out a copy for somebody else. Where will it all end! If you have a porch, go out with a glass of iced tea(with lemon) and sit down and just relax and read this book. If it is winter, put on your coat. You may want to take something hotter or stronger out there with you! Enjoy!

This book and all other books by Celestine Sibley will stay in your home. You will not lend them out, as you will probably never see them again. People will move out of the state and never think to return them. They are sweet and funny and make you appreciate every bit of LIFE. You will give them as gifts over and over, until finally it occurs to you that you can't find them anymore. Will somebody please get these books back into circulation. Thank you very much.

Dear Friends, I miss Miss Sibley and I miss Georgia. I tell you, if you were born in the South, no matter where you live forever after, you carry it with you in your heart. The way I get close to my heart these days, when I miss the South the most, is to read all of Celestine Sibley's books. I am so heartened that they are now being re-printed. If you have not read any of them, you are lucky. You have the whole wonderful experience to look forward to. I wish you peace.

PS. Since Miss Sibley is not here to tell you new iron skillet owners this, I will tell you. Do not wash it with soap ever, after you have seasoned it.. Use a brush and really hot water. A good way to season an iron skillet at first is to fry a large amount of potatoes in it. That way you season the skillet and get something good to eat at the same time!! :)

Celestine sibley has written about 25 books. Almost all of them are either out of print or out of stock. I tell you, this is a fine how do you do! Some publisher will do all of us a great favor, and do LIFE one too, if he/she will please get these books back out into the stores. I never read one I didn't like. If there WAS one I didn't like, I liked it anyway. They make me glad. Do you KNOW how special that is? These books make me remember to slow down and cherish all of life. They make me wish I had a porch!

My mother used to read this book to me and my brothers every Christmas season when we were children. Being in a military family, we rarely spent Christmas in Georgia, which was our home of record. When I was expecting my first child and part of a new military family, my mother gave me a copy of this book and all those cozy memories of Christmas readings came back to me. If you can't celebrate Christmas in Georgia, Celestine Sibley takes you there with her timeless tales.

You might as well order more than one copy of all of Miss Sibley's books ( every single one of them) as you will always be glad to have a present on hand to give to someone. You can give these books to anyone, any age, for any occasion. In fact, if you lend these books to your friends, they may never give them back. Some people have been known to move out of town and take these books with them! ( These people know who they are) You have to be careful about these Celestine Sibley thieves! Just be sure that you have at least one set of the books for yourself, as you will receive such joy.

This book represents the special value system of the south, so aptly captured by Celestine Sibley as she speaks of her daily experiences and kindnesses to people, nature and her profession. She speaks with an honesty and humor that is uplifting and full of sentiment. She has a great ability to describe the environment so well that one thinks he/she is walking with her along the wooded paths. This book needs to be published again in tribute to her priceless gift of writing.

This book cannot stay out of print for long. We need more books like this. It is so full of life and cheer. Please get it back in print. Cheers!

...but True South, in a way that the New York Times could never understand. Sibley fans were appalled at the Times' obituary, which inaccurately described her as "the last of the white glove, tea-and-apple blossom set that had not a sharp edge on it." The Times just didn't get it, but then they have a habit of dissing female Southern writers, as they did when they fired Molly Ivins for describing a chicken de-feathering as a "gang pluck." Eldredge (full disclosure: a good friend and colleague at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution) gets it right, displaying the kind of seasoned journalism Sibley would have liked. He shows rather than tells, allowing us to spend just a few more hours with the sound of her voice, relating stories of murder, fame, love, betrayal, and most of all, high comedy. For those of us who began our days with her columns, a kind of Atlanta touchstone in the midst of constant change, these stories are a revelation. Most satisfying of all is the final chapter, in which an AJC colleague calls Bill Kovach (former Timesman and AJC editor) and takes him to task for his clueless quote in her obit. If you loved 'Tine, you're going to want this book.

A wonderful collection of one of the South's most beloved journalists and columnists. A wide variety of news reporting which has just as much personality, poignancy, and humor as her columns. Eldredge's commnents are well-researched and strike the right tone.

Harold Clarke is an amazing man. But before one pretends to know him, it is important to know that he voluntarily relinquished his position as the Chief Justice of Georgia's Supreme Court so that Charles Weltner, the great Civil Rights figure of Georgia's past, could become Chief Justice before he died of cancer.

Such an action is typical of Harold Clarke's character. He is an immaculate man of decency, a true southern gentleman. I will defer the fact that he knew my grandfather and cares greatly for my father and even me. The fact is that he is a hero of Georgia's often troubled judicial history, and I love him greatly.

His book is most worthy of being read. I can promise anyone who reads it that you will appreciate Chief Justice Clarke's simple upbringing and his rise to destiny.

A pleasant trip into the past. Runs the gamut of human emotions: Nostalgia, Humor, Sadness. So very reminiscent of when times and places were simpler. I highly recommend it. Very enjoyable reading. E. F. Howard .

This book contains short stories about different people encountered by the author. Most are very simple people and Sibley shows you Christmas and what these people consider blessings through their eyes.

This is a beautiful book written from the author's heart and it goes directly to the reader's heart. Celestine Sibley uses words in an old fashioned, lovely way. I think this book should be required reading for all high school students.

Is there a writer's gene? If so, Sibley has inherited it from her talented grandmother. It is so refreshing to see young people value and honor the lessons of their elders. Sibley is a fine writer in her own right and I look forward to hearing more from her.

Fleming is a chip of the old block. I look forward to hearing more from this charming granddaughter!

This is a very well written tribute to the author's grandmother and one I was anxious to read. She is on her way to being a very fine writer and one for 'tine (as she calls Celestine Sibley) to be very proud of. She gives the reader the sense of becoming close to the subject. In fact one gets the feeling of being welcome to go to lunch with the two of them!

Have read several Sibleybooks and this is one of the better ones to me. Kate Mulcay is set to interview Representative Return Pickett, called Turn by his friends. He does not show up and when they go to see about him all they find is a bloody trailer where he lived. Kate sets out to solve the mystery, she has to put up with theGandy girls, a crazy woman who a motel, a sheriff who is very young, a co-worker she can't stand. She has to go into a deep cave to try to rescue someone and she get shot at. The ending has a slight twist to it. All in all a nice little, faily clean mystery. A quick read and one I think you will enjoy.

I do not read many nonfiction books,and as I read a lot of books,I find I am down to fewer and fewer books. After saying this I find I start looking at many more books on the self that I at first didn't notice. I found the book very enjoyable and found it almost like reading a religious book. So saying this I will find Ms. Sibley" other books and will read and than pass judgment on them.Hopefully I will like them as well as FOR ALL SEASONS.
