I bought this book awhile ago to keep at my house for my grandchildren and came back to get another one for my grandson to keep at his house. I love this book.The artwork is wonderful, the story is so fun. My granddaughter loves to look for all the animals and pick them out and count them. You can't go wrong buying this book!

Very Helpful Pocket Size Book
I used this book to hike two trails this last weekend and it was very helpful for me (1st time to Shenandoah). The pocket size was awesome to bring along on the hikes. Its very light. I also used it to pick which day hikes I wanted to do. I used it a couple times during the hikes to read the descriptions and make sure I was still going the right way as many different trails intercross as some point. The GPS coordinates also helped for us to arrive at the parking areas, especially for Whiteoak Canyon Trail that has an entrance not off of skyland drive and we had no cel phone service. I'd definitly recommend this book. It would make a great stocking stuffer around Christmas time.

Many characters, many bodies, many clues, many opinions. An interesting book, but difficult to follow if you cannot read in one or two sessions.

Great Story!
Cool Wind's Gate by Wayne Bernard Sr.<br /><br />Many books and stories written about the antebellum south and Louisiana in particular, usually tell one of two tales... a life of ease and prosperity on a grand plantation or the atrocities committed against those same men and women in bondage whose slave labor enabled the life of ease and prosperity. Cool Wind's Gate though, while still set in pre-civil war Louisiana, gives a different accounting, a better way that could have been, one that I wished as I was reading it were true.<br /> The story of Cool Wind's Gate grew out of the belief that slavery was wrong. Mr. Clem Collins of Wisteria plantation knew that to simply liberate his slaves wasn't enough. Without a means to care for their families and lacking protection from the prejudices and cruelty of the outside world it would do little good to set them free to starve or worse. He had a plan though, a broader vision of how a good life could be had by everyone. A life filled with well-earned respect, dignity and love. And Clem had Will Trahan, who would see to it that the vision of self-sufficiency and autonomy would become the reality.<br /> Cool Wind's Gate is written simply in a straightforward way. I would have liked more descriptive features of the book's characters, but at almost 900 pages, the author gives us a very authentic story.

Lack of clear intructions.
I purchased this book when it first came out. I was initially pleased and made place mats by using one of the patterns. They came out well and I had no problems. I recently completed a warp to make Serendipity, one of the more attractive patterns featured in the book. I reviewed the directions for threading but counting up the number of ends I would need and comparing the count with the pattern in the book I had a different count. I recounted several times and even tried several ways of adding things up but my end count remained the same. I assume that I misunderstood the sparse directions which were not clear. It would have taken little effort to include clear instructions. I will not waste the warp, I will use for another project but it won't be from this book.

Good book.
Alice Starmore is one of my favorite Fair Isle designers along with Marie Wallin. The patterns on the illustrations are impressive. This is an older publication so shapes of the sweaters are somewhat dated. The Fair Isle design can but used with a different type of sweater. Features interesting facts about fair isle knitting and designs along with instructions on knitting fair Isle. Features a pattern for a beautiful pair of Fair Isle gloves that I plan on knitting.

This is a good size board book, harder for little hands to hold but recommended for 3 year olds or so. I was actually surprised that is was as large as it is. Its dramatic though and its an amazing story about the tale of the candy cane. Talks about Jesus and the reason for the season. Very well written, the artwork is beautiful.

I enjoyed Mickey Rooney's career along with my mother
What a hoot. We never know how weird our childhood hero's were. I enjoyed Mickey Rooney's career along with my mother. Kind of sad, and interesting.

My grandson absolutely loved this book!
Super cute book that I highly recommend. I have a 3 year old grandson that I shared this book with and he absolutely loved it. With sounds on almost every page, the cute storyline gets it's story easily told. The first time I read the book and shared the sounds with my grandson, he immediately requested that I reread it to him. The book is made of a strong, hard cardboard and makes it easy for little hands to turn the pages and not damage the book. It is an entertaining, great way to get the little ones into beginning reading. Makes a great gift.

Beautiful photography, spectacular places!
Gorgeous coffee table book, chock full of absolutely amazing National Geographic photography. Beautiful landscapes, I particularly loved the northern lights since I am planning a trip to Iceland for 2019. This book would make an absolutely beautiful Christmas, Holiday, birthday, Mother's or Father's Day present for anyone who loves nature I have several NG books and each year they seem to get better and more spectacular!

Great pocket guide to Iceland. I love Loney Planet guidebooks!
As with all Lonely Planet products, this is a great travel guide to Iceland. My son is planning a trip there this summer and was looking for something he could use to research the country and begin his planning, as well as have something small enough to bring with him when he is there. Chock full of information, this handy guide gives him all the information he needs for a fun trip with his friends. Hours of operation and entry fees of parks and sites, restaurants in the area (with information on prices) and hotels (and hostels) they can stay at. Loads of maps and information as well. You can't go wrong when traveling when you bring a Lonely Planet guide with you on vacation. It has everything you need to be a well informed tourist and allows you to live like a local when you visit.

Great children's book, my grandson loved the pictures and the story!
This a beautiful book for the preschooler in your life. I picked this particularly for when my 4 year old grandson was going to be visiting me this month for me to share with him. He loved the large colorful pages and was mesmerized by the story of Freeda the Cheetah. He asked me to read it 2/3 nights he was here last week and even asked me afterwards, when he was home, when I could read it to him again. Just a great children's book and I highly recommend it for having some one on one time with your children and grandchildren. I am saddened by the fact that many children today never share the joy of physical books any more, hopefully this book may make a difference in their lives. I am anxiously looking forward to the day when he can read the book to me!

Wonderful tourist guide to the Eternal City!
Great pocket guide to Rome. I have a trip planned in November 2018 and I can't wait to go and be able to use this. Colorful pictures, loads of maps and chock full of valuable information for the tourist. I like the fact that entrance fees and hours are listed for every site and the fact that I can easily can keep and retrieve this information in my cross-body bag. I love Fodor's and use their guides for any where I roam, simply because they understand the needs of a tourist and guide you every step of the way.

Amazing history and story of the events that occurred in 1777
Great historical book, chock full of events and personalities I had no knowledge of previously. Having spent my childhood in Clifton Park NY, I had no idea of the extent amazing history that was right around the corner from where I lived. Howe and his army defeated the Birtish generals in their endeavor to take control Albany, New York City and the Hudson River. Nice large sized print (great for those of us over age 50) and an easy read which made it such I didn't want to put it down. This book would make a great present for the history buff in your life, especially if they are from the NY area.

Great full picture book, just love, love, love!
Absolutely amazing book. It is jammed with pictures and history and is truly impressive. This matches up to the standards of the Life series of picture book, with incredible never seen before photography and facts. This would make a terrific holiday present, especially for the WWII veterans in your life. But honestly, I have a son in the military who is in his early 30's who would love this just as much or even a younger child to show them the horrors of war. It makes a great coffee table/conversation piece book. I definitely recommend this for yourself or for someone you love.

Great book, lots of historical rarities, easy to read!
Excellent read by one of my favorite authors of all time Winston Groom (author of Forest Gump and the Aviator). I love reading history books, particularly American, and figured with the title of this book and with the author who wrote it, I could not go wrong. Nice size book, larger type (for my middle aged eyes) and once I started, I could not put it down. I read each General on individual days and I learned more about them then I ever knew from anything school books (or television) had ever taught me. I was particularly enamored by the colorful piece on General Patton. This would make a great gift for someone or just buy it for yourself.

A wonderful read. Great for the history lover in your life!!!
Absolutely wonderful book of two treasure hunters who set off to investigate and discover a pirate ship. Easy read, I found it next to impossible to put down. Robert Kurson tells a little known tale of intrigue and you almost feel like you are reading a fictional account with the way the wonderful story telling proceeds. I am now hooked on Kurson's writing style and intend to pick up Shadow Divers on Amazon as well. I could go on more, but in reading the other reviews on here, there is really little new to add. Great read, entertaining, will keep you mesmerized from start to finish.

Amazing recipes, beautiful book!
Of course, I found out about this cookbook as a result of being a huge fan of the television show. I immediately preordered and waited patiently for the book to arrive. I could not be more delighted! A great book chock full of delicious recipes for all courses and put together in an easy to follow format. I made the beef stew first and it was a tremendous hit with my family. Bravo Gabriele! You outdid yourself with this cookbook and I can't wait until the next one comes out!!!!

Another winner from National Geo!
I travel a lot. Have been to Rome three times and I am always looking for new places to explore. This National Geographic Traveler guide to Rome is incredible. I love these guides better than any other (think Rick Steves). They are comprehensive, colorful and all inclusive with a variety of maps and places to visit off the beaten track. I am returning to Rome again in November of this year and this guide will be with me all the way. Kudos to National Geographic, best tourist guide on the market today!

Amazing fictional book that reads like non-fiction
Trieste is one of the most amazing books I have read in ages. Normally, I do not like fictional accounts of historical events (given that the lines are usually blurred between reality and the author's spin on the truth). But Trieste is different. It is well written and the reader feels like they are in Italy during World War II and searching for Haya Tedeschi's son she had with a Nazi SS officer. Truly an emotional account, the reader is thrust back in history to one of the most horrific times one can imagine to be living in Italy. I would love to find the time to read this again as I think the read will be even better the second time around. I truly recommend Trieste to anyone who loves non-fiction and love/family stories. Kudos to Dasa Drndic

Simply Wonderful! Simply Italian
This is one of the nicest books/cookbooks I have ever owned. Illustrated beautifully, the insight to the world inside Harry's Bar (and kitchen) is well worth any price. I ordered this book as I am planning a trip to Venice at the beginning of April (fifth time to Italy, first time to Venice) and I was curious as to what the foods would be like (and to try some recipes for myself in advance). This book does not fail to deliver both. It also comes beautifully packaged in a sleeve and makes for perfect gift giving. I can't want to seek out and find Harry's when I go there next year and, if I am lucky enough to meet the owner, will thank them profusely for putting this together. Bravo!

Great pocket travel guide
I have been traveling to Italy at least once or twice a year for the last 5 years and I am hooked on the language, culture and people. This travel guide is great. Having visited most of the main cities several times (Rome, Florence, Venice), I was looking for a guide to assist me in looking for off-the-beaten path sites. I love this Lonely Planet guide. It is informative, beautifully illustrated and has many maps to help me get around as a single traveler. I have owned several Lonely Planet guides and I am never disappointed with the up to date and comprehensive information you get from them. It is convenient enough for me to carry in my purse, yet with enough information to be the only guide I will need. Kudos to Lonely Planet for another great travel guide! I highly recommend it for anyone looking to rent a car and travel into some of the lesser known areas of Italy.

Heart warming story
Loved this book. Don't pay attention to what the others have written about it being boring. I enjoyed every page and cried like a baby several times throughout. If you are an animal lover and love true stories, go for this book. I can honestly say I liked it double that of Marley and Me and would highly recommend this to everyone. Great read, won't want to put it down once you start.

Great read, especially for young people
I love the outdoors, animals, nature and true stories. This book encompasses the best of all of them. I found it to be truly inspiring and well written (to the point I couldn't put the book down and read it cover to cover). I highly recommend it to anyone who loves survival stories, true life experiences and animals (especially the glorious wolves). Great read for everyone, truly inspirational.

Just in time for my trip!
Going to Rome later this month and needed a guide book for my visit. I had signed up for several tours which were meeting at obscure tourist points. I had googled the internet to try to find where these places were and was only able to find one of them. I had figured that I would need to get to Rome and ask someone in the hotel (in my very broken Italian) where it was that I needed to go. In comes the Lonely Planet guide to Rome. First thing I did was go to find the locations I couldn't find anywhere else. As it turns out, the meet-up places I had been looking for were actual 'local aliases' that if you were a Rome resident you would know. The Lonely Planet guide had these listed both ways and I was not only able to read about the locales, but also locate them on the enclosed street maps. Kudos to Lonely Planet and their terrific tourist guides. I had used them before in Paris and Ireland, but never had needed them like I did this time. And forgetting all this personal information I needed, rest assured there is plenty of other tourist info like entry times and fees for tourist sites and reviews on restaurants as well. If you are going to Rome, you need to bring this with you!

Excellent traveler's resource!
I have been to the Tuscany/Florence region twice in the last year and have another trip planned for this October. I originally wasn't going to select this book, thinking I already knew everything I needed to about this most beautiful area of Italy. But I received this Frommer's book and I am finding it a tremendous read! I am finding information on little known towns (for example Livorno) which I had never heard about in my travels (it's called the Venice of Tuscany). The book is a perfect size for travelers, recommending some wonderful restaurants in the cities (some of which I will also be trying in October)and many little known towns and tourist attractions (in addition to the more well known Florence/Pisa/Lucca/Sienna attractions. The pictures are beautiful, maps are all inclusive and the guide is written in clear English (to assist when in the areas where some may not speak the language). Hours of operation of tourist attractions as well as entrance fees are all in there was well. If anyone is traveling to Italy and plans to spend any time in the Tuscany region, this is a must read and take along. I highly recommend for all!

Most wonderful book about Israel I have read
I actually made a pilgrimage to Israel in 2011 and used this book as a sort of a guide to the history and the legacy of the country and its people. I highly recommend this as a personal story which is relatable to anyone who wants to know more about their heritage and family. I learned a lot about this magnificent country and it was a very enjoyable read.

Disappointing at best
Buyer beware. I guess I thought at $15 this would be a regular size book. Of course, shame on me for not looking at the dimensions. This is a small almost pocket sized book with limited information in it pages are small with large type most with black and white pics). I never would have purchased this had I paid attention to the specifications. I would return it, but I used it in my 4 for 3 package and if I returned it, I would lose out. Disappointing, terrible purchase.

Excellent - Comprehensive guide
Used this Lonely Planet guide on two trips this year: Once to Rome and Umbria and the other time in Lucca/Pisa (Tuscany). It was informative and the maps and pictures were wonderful. With my limited knowledge of the Italian language, it was nice to have a guide, in English, which explained details of things (i.e. pubic transportation, hours of operation for museums and sightseeing, fees, etc). As a matter of fact, I used the bus almost exclusively when I was in Lucca to get to the airport and the city of Pisa and the Lonely Planet guide helped me with everything I needed to know. I used to be a Fodor's fan for travels in the past. However, I will now be purchasing the Discover series for whenever I go abroad (in fact, Discover France is next on my list for 2012). Highly recommend!!!

Informative book - not so easy to use
Got this book as part of the Vine program. I work a lot in excel with basic formulas and formats. My son in college learned a lot with excel that blew my mind. When I saw this book, I jumped on it thinking it would help enhance my knowledge of the application and allow me to accomplish some of the things I saw my son capable of doing. To be honest, I hate manuals and instructions. I was hoping this would have been more of a tutorial (like excel for dummies), but I found it somewhat complicated. I guess if I was looking to do a particular feature, I could look for it in the index and follow the instructions. But, I really was looking for more a tutorial that could step me through how to make more robust spreadsheets. If you are more technology savy than I am, this book may work for you. I just found it kind of cumbersome and complicated. I will keep it as a desk top reference in case I need specific help.

Great travel book on France. I have been there twice already and got this book for next summer's trip to Toulouse. Not rating it as a 5 star as I don't see any out of the way places or exotic finds for the experienced traveler. This book is great, though, with pictures and maps and is great for a first time visitor to France. As expected, a lot of the book is dedicated to the Paris area. If you are planning a trip to Paris in the near future, this book is a must have for any tourist new to the area.

Great book to travel with
I just returned from a week in Ireland and used the Lonely Planet Discover Ireland while traveling. I found it concise, colorful, chock full of information and containing loads of maps and visitor site information. I typically use Frommer's guides when I have gone to Europe in the past, so this was my first use of the Lonely Planet series. I would highly recommend the book for anyone traveling to the Emerald Isle as an alternative to what I feel can sometimes be the complexity of Frommers. I have also obtained the Lonely Planet guide to Italy which I have not, as of yet, been able to use. Hope to travel there in the late Fall time frame and will be reviewing that one as well upon my return. However, I am fully confident that the book will serve me as this one on Ireland did.

For the ultimate Smothers Brothers fan
First, I must tell you that I am a huge Smothers Brothers fan, going back to when I would watch them when just a small girl in NY. I have seen them live several times in the past few years and was amazed at how wry and funny they still were. That being said, I was looking for more knowledge of all the contraversies that followed them throughout their career and loved it when I was offered this book. I devoured every page and found something to learn and gain insight on in every chapter. This book makes for a wonderful read or even a great present to make to someone who was a child of the 60-70's. It was an incredible eye opener for me. I highly recommend!!
