by: Peter Reinhart

2003-11
I have definitely upped my game. Pay attention to the details.
I wish he would have spent more time with the different flours that can be used, proofing times, etc.
Otherwise, very well written.

.A Year in Provence
City Travel Guides > Books > Travel
by: Peter Mayle

June 04, 1991
Mayle's vision of Provence is mostly fantasy. It's true, the details of food and weather and habits are accurate, but it rings of 19th century English colonial patriarchy. The French "peasants" are portrayed like happy go lucky children living in a Romanticized garden of Eden uncorrupted by the real world of London and Paris. Mayle is the benevolent Patriarch in contrast to the towns cast of cartoonish personalities (it's no accident this book was adapted to a comedic TV series). If it was a novel at least there would be a plot, but instead it's a faux anthropological survey with Mayle studying the life and habits of local natives and imparting information for those back home who wish to follow his colonial ambitions (Mayle was in advertising). ...

.Top Secret Restaurant Recipes: Creating Kitchen Clones from America's Favorite Restaurant Chains
City Travel Guides > Books > Travel
by: Todd Wilbur

June 02, 1997
Lots of great recipes. I've already made "Tony Roma's Ribs" twice. The recipe includes how to make the BBQ sauce, as well as the preparation methods. They were just as tender and tasted just as good the ribs that we have eaten at Tony Roma's restaurants.

Can't wait to try a few other recipes!

.Hidden Mickeys, 3rd Edition: A Field Guide to Walt Disney World's Best-Kept Secrets (Hidden Mickeys: A Field Guide to Walt Disney World's Best Kept Secre)
City Travel Guides > Books > Travel
by: Steven M. Barrett

June 25, 2007
This book is a great gift idea for someone who is a repeat visitor to Walt Disney World. It is not a general list of hidden mickeys, like hiddenmickeys.org, but is instead a game that you can play with others in your group.

Included are game rules for "Scavenger Hunt" and "non-Scavenger Hunt". Buy multiple books, and you can compare your Scavenger Hunt scores at the end of the day. You can also play non-Scavenger Hunt with your kids (or by yourself) while waiting in line. The book is easy to store in your pocket.

If you want to play Scavenger Hunt and don't have enough books, you can always purchase additional books (at full price, of course) in the parks.

.The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World 2008 (Complete Guide to Walt Disney World)
City Travel Guides > Books > Travel
by: Julie Neal, Mike Neal

December 15, 2007
I'm a long time Disney World visitor and I've read just about every Disney guide available. In fact I'm the author of a guide called Walt Disney World® with Disabilities. In my opinion, what makes The Complete Guide to Walt Disney World so unique (in addition to the photos) is the level of detail the authors go into for many of the attractions. They do an excellent job of giving you a sense of what the experience will be like, and they accomplish this with an obvious passion for Disney.

Throughout this book you'll find some great tips. For example they often share the best places to sit on rides, and best locations to view fireworks, parades and shows. The writing style is conversational, descriptive and fun to read. You'll find yourself getting excited ... Read More:

City Travel Guides > Books > Travel
by: DK Publishing

August 21, 2006
It's a nice and thick travel review of all the places most people would want to visit, when going to New Zealand for the first time. The smallish pictures are good for giving you an overview of the history and sites, and all of the major cities are covered.

.National Geographic Atlas of the World, Eighth Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Travel
by: National Geographic

October 01, 2004
National Geographic have compiled the most comprehensive blue-print of planet Earth and its surroundings. (the moon, mars, milky way etc) The book is well designed aesthetically and practically, beautiful in it's complexity but organized in a way thats easy to follow. it doesn't get any better than this.

Most guests at my house notice the giant blue book pretty quickly and have shown nothing but amazed impressions.

I definitely approve of this (honestly) hefty purchase. It's worth it
