.The New Organic Grower: A Master's Manual of Tools and Techniques for the Home and Market Gardener (A Gardener's Supply Book)
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Eliot Coleman

1995-10
It's nice to have the combination of someone so well researched who is simultaneously an excellent practitioner. Lots of great ideas about transplanting (I hadn't heard of soil blocks before). Many great tool recommendations as well. This is worth the time and money!

.Scrapbook Page Maps: Sketches For Creative Layouts
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Becky Fleck

April 01, 2008
What a perfect book! It's for all types, even the pros for when you just draw a blank and can't think of how to put a page together. I do wish it would have been layed out by page size but it's easy to see how a 12x12 can be made into 8 1/2x11 and vice versa. Additionally, what they don't tell you is at the back of the book are punch out cards that have the sketch on one side and an example on the back. That alone is worth the money! Awesome book. Highly recommend.

I really love this book! The designs are all cute, fresh and fun...and I want to make them all. Creative ideas for using embroidery, even if you already know how. But the instructions seem pretty clear if you don't.

.Inspired to Knit: Creating Exquisite Handknits
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Michele Rose Orne

June 01, 2008
I wanted to knit myself a winter coat, but was having trouble finding just the right pattern. One day in my local yarn store I saw this book and flipped through it. When I saw the Winter Wonderland Coat I knew I had found my pattern and it was worth the price of the book just to have it. Once I got the book home I was delighted to discover that in this book I had so much more. All of the patterns are so beautiful and the design ideas are truly inspiring. Before buying this book, I never would have considered designing something of my own, but now I am sure that I will. I am making good progress on my coat and it has been a delight to knit. Sometimes with a larger project boredom sets in and I find a need to work on something different to give myself a ... Read More:

.From Vines to Wines: The Complete Guide to Growing Grapes and Making Your Own Wine
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Jeff Cox

January 03, 1999
When we were planning our vineyard we needed all the help we could get. From Vines To Wines was one book kept by the bedside for constant reference during the planning and planting stage. (The other book was "Vineyard Simple." The illustrated guide to pruning is exceptionally well done. Now that we've made it through year 1, I find myself going back to the book time and again. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in planting a vineyard. Craig Justice, Webmaster of Winemaker's Journal and Founder, Blue Merle Vineyard & Winery

The Knitting Answer Book: Solutions to Every Problem You'll Ever Face; Answers to Every Question You'll Ever Ask I love this book. I am a long time knitter who needs good directions and don't always get them. Hopefully, this book will fill the need to help me interpret some of the questionable directions I have found in pattens and make knitting a more enjoyable and productive hobby for me.

.Construction Drawings and Details for Interiors: Basic Skills
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: W. Otie Kilmer, Rosemary Kilmer, Kilmer, Stephen Hanessian

February 15, 2001
This book made all the difference for me in my Interior Design studies. The course that I took was intensive, and if I had not discovered and utilized this book, I would have probably scored much lower on my desk-crits, and my practical exams. Because of it's wonderfully portable size, I take it with me everywhere. It is easily carried, yet filled with pertinent information from cover to cover. Construction Drawings and Details for Interiors contains a wealth of information, and I am grateful to the author for having written this book. It is, and will remain a cornerstone of my Design library.

.The Pocket Parent
City Travel Guides > Books > Home and Garden
by: Gail Reichlin, Caroline Winkler

2001-10
This book was very simple. I got it for that very reason, I have a 2 year old who is running the show and a new baby -- I needed help quick! After reading it by skipping around to various needed chapters, I learned that it had a quick underlying theme that is consistent throughout the book. Once you get that, it becomes less helpful. It was a good message and has been helpful in teaching me to avoid arguments with my 2-yr old, but I found that I am left wanting more information about all these issues. I like the book recommendations in the back, though, they recommended age-appropriate children's books that help kids through difficult situations, like potty training, family deaths, new baby, etc. I will open this book again, if we are faced with difficult situations and ...
