.Blankets and Throws to Knit: Patterns and Piecing Instructions for 100 Knitted Squares
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Debbie Abrahams

January 21, 2008
This book is addictive! I love knitting these blankets, the patterns are straightforward and you get a sense of accomplishment with every square created. The yarns are lovely to work with and the finished products are stunning. I cannot believe that I managed to finish three of these beautiful blankets as I have a rep for bags containing unfinished sweaters, but this method solves that one!

.Lean Six Sigma for Service: How to Use Lean Speed and Six Sigma Quality to Improve Services and Transactions
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Michael L. George

July 01, 2003
Lean Six Sigma for Service provides an overview of how to implement lean and six sigma projects in service organisations. The book is clearly written and includes loads of case studies and covers issues such as the challenges faced in implementation; setting up the project; how your project teams should work; the importance of leadership commitment; and so on. It gives a high level overview of the challenges and requirements for success. For a book with "six sigma" in the title there is very little statistical detail. This makes is suitable for the novice, though a weakness for me is the lack detail of the tools and how to use them. You will need other books for that. Interestingly, most of the case studies emphasise the importance of using lean tools ... Read More:

My seven year old used her xmas vouchers to buy this book and wants to take it with her wherever she goes, she loves it. It's beautifully put together with accurate and detailed information but in an imaginitive and exciting way that I know I would have loved when I was a child. The detail and care with which this book has been created is a credit to everyone involved.

Such a good gift for Mums young and old, it really would suit anyone. My mum loved the recipes and even found the stories about mums hilarious, perfect when you're not sure what to buy for their birthday or Mother's Day.

.Up Till Now: the Autobiography: The Autobiography
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: William Shatner

May 16, 2008

This is a very amusing, interesting, and joyous look of William Shatner's life.... and all in his own words (well, with a little help from co-writer David Fisher). Shatner's book starts - as they usually do - in his home country; Canada. He tells us about his Jewishness, his father's plans for him (which he rejected) and how he got into acting. Then taking an unconventional route towards America and onto his destiny as a star ship trooper. But before he boldly goes where no man has gone before he tells us about his naivety in the land of the green buck and being picked up by `lovely men', who he thought just wanted to be nice to him (and was taken aback by what they actually wanted from him). Gradually he gets jobs (small parts in plays etc), then TV work, ... Read More:

.That's Not My Fairy (Touchy-Feely Board Books)
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Fiona Watt, Rachel Wells

July 30, 2004
This book is great for young children. My 7 month old daughter loves it! Each page has a different fairy on it with things to touch and feel: fluffy wings, bumpy slippers, smooth crown, frizzy hair etc. Her favourite is the one with the pink fluffy wings - she loves touching them. The drawings are very colourful and sparkly which help attract her attention. It's a boardbook so the pages are very easy for tiny hands to turn over too.

.I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: Vol 8 (BBC Radio Collection)
City Travel Guides > Books > Favourites in Books
by: Various Artists

October 20, 2003
The team are back again with some enlightening definitions that are often missed..."Plebicite" - web page for common people, "Suffragette" - Package holiday flight and "Rafia" - Craft fair organised crime syndicate
...and of course the always wonderful "Mornington Crescent". This episode has Harry's first ever game of Mornington Crescent and the teams decide to play the childrens junior version of the game to "help" him. So if you're looking to understand how to play "Mornington Crescent", you'll need a good working knowledge of the names of London Underground stations. Thankfully this episode is further simplified as Humph helpfully explains that, "...the Waterloo mainline is irreversible if approached on the diagonal during a lateral pass" Thank goodness, ...
