Excellent
I have been a massage therapist for 7+ years and I find this book to be one of the best written books I have read. This book is easily as valuable to the experienced massage therapist as it is to a rank amatuer. I commend the authors for there fine work and I look forward to future releases from them. I fully endorse this book and recommend it to all interested in this topic.

The most informative massage reference book I have read.
A MASSAGE THERAPIST AND EDUCATOR FROM FLEMINGTON,N.J. I HAVE BEEN A MASSAGE THERAPIST FOR OVER 15 YEARS AND CONSIDER THIS BOOK TO BE A WINNER. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE TRYING TO ENHANCE THEIR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH. THE AUTHORS USE OF DIAGRAMS AND HIGHLIGHTED OUTLINES AIDS THE READER IN UNDERSTANDING THE VARIETY OF TECHNIQUES AND THE BENEFITS OF EACH. THIS BOOK ALLOWS EVERYONE TO MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE AS TO WHAT VARIETY OF MASSAGE AND BODYWORK MODALITIES BEST FIT THEIR NEEDS.

Now printed as Langenscheidt Pocket Grammar
Too bad the Cassell's Contemporary Italian/French/Spanish/German series are now out of print. I have them all the they are the best grammar books I own. I am a language buff and own several grammars and these can't be beat! I had been looking for the Cassell's Contemporary Italian recently and discovered the Langenscheidt Pocket Grammars are the Cassell's Contemporary series in new editions. They are identical. Though it looks now as if the Langenscheidt French Grammar is now out of print. Snatch any used copies of this available. They are well worth it!

It was just the summary of French grammar that I wanted.
I've found everything I was looking for in a French grammar book. I find it easy to locate various areas of study. I see lots of practical usage entries that I haven't gotten to yet. I look forward to using this book for many years.

MIND BLOWING,REVELOUTIONARY AND VERY VERY SEXY
China chic is a truly haunting experienc

Smashingly beautiful book. New twist on Chinese fashion.
*China Chic* is a gorgeous yet scholarly study of the interchange between China and the West in terms of fashion. Among the many intriguing points is how women of Chinese ancestry in the West are now influencing fashion design in new, very sophisticated ways. The combined efforts of Valerie Steele, John Major, and others make this book a must-read, just as the exhibit at the Fashion Institute in spring 1999 that this book used as a basis was a must-see for anyone who cares about fashion, culture and dress, or Chinese history.


Choices That Make a Difference When Healing from Divorce

Compelling first person account of the author's divorce.
THe diary is an absolute page-turner. Saddening and horrifying in the stages of a surprising--to King--divorce. King vividly recounts going through this gut-wrenching change and seeing a man she thought she knew change into a stranger.

If the reader had no idea what divorce does to a family, she (or he) will after this book. King's Lessons section is helpful to anyone going through a rough time, and her Friends for Friends section may open others' eyes to the difficulties of divorce and the needs of newly divorced parents.

Two of the most important points I took away from King's words: If the divorce can be avoided, do what it takes to avoid it, for it takes an incredible toll on all involved. And if the divorce is unavoidable, know that the threads to an unravelled life can be gathered and woven back into a good new life.

This book is full of honesty, hope and good advice. Required reading for anyone contemplating a divorce, going through a divorce or knowing someone going through a divorce.

This book really hits home! I could NOT put it down.
Dr. King has some really touching points to make. The first part of her book is very capturing with its diary. The second part is so practical. Major WOW.

Fantastic! Well-written! Beautifully photographed!
This is a WONDERFUL book. It is detailed, well-written, and the photographs are gorgeous. It is A MUST for anyone interested in the roots of American fashion.

An excellent look at a unique designer.
This is a well-written and beautifully produced book. It is a combination biography/retrospective on the work of Claire McCardell, a fashion designer popular in the 1940s and 1950s. She is virtually forgotten today, which is a shame--her work was unique and truly American. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in fashion design.

Wonderful way to draw your child closer to God!
My 4 year old daughter and I finished this book and she was not only excited about finishing her first "big" book, but she told me how much she enjoyed reading it every night before bedtime. She faithfully reminded me (even when I thought I was too tired to read it to her) that it was time for devotions. It also allowed her and I quality time together and for her to ask questions about God's Word. Recommend highly.

Great positive and supportive daily devotions for children.
This book with positive children's devotions will be appreciated by both children and adults. The attractive artwork with multi-cultural drawings embellishes the devotions for our current society.

Hercules....a Disney movie
In my opinion, this book (written basically for children to read) has the magic enough to capture an adult's mind.
I'm very fond of the thought that the Disney Company, makes it's best effort to get a child into the deep world of greek and roman mythology throughout this book (originally a movie) with the usual content of love, comedy, drama and a happy ending, all mixed in a magical, powerful, and most important "understandable" way.
I think that thanks to this amazing story, every child knows that Zeus is the greatest of all Gods, and that he rules with all rest of them (including his wife Hera) in Mount Olympus; that Hades rules the "Underworld" , and as usual, something to learn.... with love, any battle can be won.
I guess there is nothing else to say about this book, it teaches us in a beautiful way, our ancestors believings many centuries ago.

gold
In Estonian language means Herkula the same as "oatflakes" in English. As I was child, the grammy command me to eat the oatmeal. "If you eat the oatmeal, you will be a strong man," she told. I dont know was she right or not, but now I am (really) a strong man. The greeks, the myths, the saturday nights when someone (again grammy) read me those tales. Hercules was then in my "top 10" on the 4th position. The first was Zeus, the 2nd Paris and the 3rd Achilleus. Hercules never got the medal. When I read "Disneys Hercules" now, I realize what I've never seen before: The Hercules story told through the pictures is much more powerful than written word. I might look like a macho, but those funny and childish adventures made me feel like a small boy, face full of joy. I would like to give a golden medal to Hercules now, but does he need that? I've heard that celebrities are swimming in gold. My suggestion to the producers of this wonderful work - there should be more those cartoon-Gods out now, instead of the real ones. Martin Palm

A SPECTACULAR SPECTACLE!!
On my first visit to London, I happened into the Victoria and Albert Museum and saw my first costume exhibition: CECIL BEATON'S ANTHOLOGY OF FASHION. It changed my life. This book will change yours. The photography is fantastic and the text is informative as well as entertaining. This book is almost as wonderful as seeing these dresses in person. . .almost!

A chic addition, a chic edition
No "well heeled" coffee table should be without this little number...also makes an elegant gift. Gorgeoous photos of the black dress spanning the 1900's, lovingly compiled.. Anyone who loves fashion will appreciate this book. A "MUST HAVE" for STYLE BUFFS!

If you get only one book on aromatherapy, get this one!
I have a number of aromatherapy books, but this one is my favorite. It's a small book but it contains all the practical knowledge you need to know to practice good aromatherapy. I have found it invaluable and highly recommend it.

Excellent resource for aromatherapy beginners.
This book clearly outlines many essential oils, their sources and recommended uses. There is also an invaluable section listing common ailments and which essential oils are best used to treat them. This was the first aromatherapy book I ever purchased, and I still refer to it often.

Best of the American Girl short story books!!!
Well written book about my favorite American Girl, Felicity Merriman. This story shows Felicity's character as it was developed in the main series. She is so full of life and is a joy to read about. Her relationships with her sister and parents comes through in this short book. The characters are so vividly described.

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter, but definitely enjoyed it as much myself! She has read it three times and loved it.

Love this Book!
My little girl LOVES this book! it is a great taste of history for you girls..and they really get into it without even knowing they are learning!
